Psycho (1960)
Psycho is based on a true story. lol okay i'm kidding but i wish it was real. i mean, come on.. who wouldn't want to see the real bates motel? no? ok. So Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho is a fiction movie about the details of the life of a disturbed Norman bates.
The movie first scene is in a cheap hotel where secrets lovers, Marion and Sam, are having a 'conversation' in bed. Marion is unhappy because she can't marry Sam until all his debt and his ex-wife's alimony is settled. With that desperation, Marion steals $40,000 in cash from her place of work, hoping it will help Sam. She then drives to California to where Sam is. On her way to California, Marion pulled over on the side road to rest her eyes for a while but she was so tired that she sleeps the whole night. The next morning she got awakened by a police officer. He warns her that it's dangerous to sleep in the car. Fearing that someone might follow her, she trades her car with a California plate.
As she continues her road trip, it's night time with a heavy rain and Marion decided to check in to a motel because she's couldn't drive any more further. After she checked in to the Bates motel, Norman offers her dinner. Marion ate her dinner while Norman talks about his ill and controlling mother. Norma gets angry when Marion suggest him to put her mother to a mental institute and make an excuse to leave. Marion went back to her room and undress herself for shower while Norman peeks through the wall. While she's showering, A shadow figure that appears to be Norman's mother stabbed Marion several times. When Norman sees it, He realize that in order to protect his mother, he had to dispose the body and everything that has any connection to Marion.
Then the rest of the film deals with the search of Marion. Marion's boss hires a private detective to find Marion and the money, Marion's workmate calls Marion's sister (Lila) and told her what happened, Marion's sister and Sam disguise as a couple to search Marion at Bates motel. Lila sneaks in to Norman's house only to find Mrs. Bates corpse on the basement. Lila screams and then Norman went down dress like his mother with a wig and a knife. Before Norman could stabbed Lila, Sam comes in to the rescue. The next day, they found out what really happened. Norman murdered his mother 10 years ago. Feeling guilty about that, he tries to bring his mother back.... with his mind. half of his personality is himself and the other is his mother. hah, Psycho is definitely one of the greatest movie of all time. in yo face, titanic! lol
