Bates Motel

abundant. They exist between the nature of the characters, such as Norman and Marion, between the tones and sounds of the score, between the sets and locations and in many other instances throughout the film. The duality of Norman Bates’ psyche, split between the male Norman Bates and the female mother personality, is representative of Hitchcock’s depiction of the mixing of…

Abnormal Psychology’s Portrayal in the Media: Psycho The 1960 film, Psycho, portrayed abnormal psychology through the main character, Norman Bates. Specifically, the film likely depicted Norman Bates as having Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Norman Bates most likely had DID due to the various symptoms he presented. The most compelling support was the observed evidence of Norman having two distinct personalities, the main personality being himself, Norman, and the alternate personality…

Because Appetite For Love holds such a treasured place in my heart (I got to interview both male leads--Andrew Walker and Marcus Rosner--and they were kind enough to let a novice feature them), I often find myself going back to my review of that film and attempting to connect with the supporting cast of that momentous film. In the case of Antonio Cayonne, I was so pleased to see that he is again being featured in a Valentine's film on Hallmark, and it was a great joy when he agreed to answer a…

in class, it peaked my interest to further understand the characters, in particular, Norman Bates character. In the film Psycho, the recurring theme is a more psychological and can be demonstrated throughout the film, but in particular, the parlor scene and the end scene at the jail. One of the most revealing moments of the psychological aspect of horror in this film is the scene which includes Norman Bates sharing dinner in his office parlor with Marion Crane. On the surface, it’s a dialogue…

For the purpose of this essay, I will be demonstrating and evaluating whether the film director and producer, Sir Alfred Hitchcock was a “Metteur en scene” or an “auteur”, based on two of his films; Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963). In other words, I’ll be evaluating whether he was a unique and outstanding filmmaker or if he was just like any other regular filmmaker. I’ll begin by giving a little background information about Alfred Hitchcock. Alfred Hitchcock was giving birth to in Leytonstone…

Hitchcock makes us aware of being voyeurs and creates a visual impression of despair and solitude in the scene. The novel on the other hand opens thus: “Norman Bates heard the noise and a shock went through him. It sounded as though somebody was tapping on the window pane… Then he realized that the sound was merely rain” (2). Norman Bates’ interest in Psychology and the Oedipus situation is abruptly revealed through his conversation with his mother. The opening passage even cheats the…

I have seen the film many times and it never seems to amaze me that even though this is a fictional story of madness, the helpless victim is totally unaware of the danger Norman Bates represents. Marion Crane is already full of trepidation of the police from her crime of stealing, but Bates is subtle, soft-spoken, normal looking, and hides his psychosis well, until it’s too late, and then he kills anyone that threatens him or his mother. Alfred Hitchcock has become famous the world…

The human brain is a smart and complex part of the body that controls when we breathe, eat, and sleep. It is so complex that doctors and scientists are still learning about the brain to this day. Not only does it control bodily functions, but it also operates as a mental compass that controls emotions and deciphers between right and wrong. Unlike other body parts, the brain is able to be conditioned and developed from outside sources, like parents teaching young children moral values. In…
