I also love how Hitchcock, after setting up Norman as such an unsettling character in the parlour scene, puts the audiences in the creepily enjoyable position of the voyeur. We know we shouldn't like it, but staring at such an attractive woman as Janet Leigh...for male viewers at least, it's an uncomfortable position to be inTom Clifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969940401754806603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24563311.post-60346832551000336392011-04-01T06:43:19.709-07:002011-04-01T06:43:19.709-07:00Jorge - Obrigado!

I never think of any of his movies that way but yes Jose is right, PSYCHO does feature some interesting examples of it.<br /><br />Being one of my favorite movies of all time, I fully agree with you when you talk about the overwhelming depth of images, sounds and scenes. It really is a movie with all its elements spot-on. <br /><br />I especially love the conversation scene between Bates and Marion, the way the camera shifts and closes in on the two characters... It says a lot about how much Hitchcock wanted the audience to get from studying those two characters' personalities.<br /><br />And I love your pick for best shot. I almost went with that one myself. <br /><br />Nice post all told! I'll be sure to follow your blog from now on!<br /><br />Cumplimentos!Jorge Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773926428295140628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24563311.post-782939010092855462011-03-31T09:52:25.595-07:002011-03-31T09:52:25.595-07:00Jose: Thank you.

For that reason I almost always look for that in everything I read/watch.Pedrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945607431696039228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24563311.post-81188703269210813152011-03-31T09:12:21.819-07:002011-03-31T09:12:21.819-07:00I've always felt that the eyes in Psycho are c...I've always felt that the eyes in Psycho are cameras but you're right about them having a religious symbolism.<br />I always seem to forget Hitch was a Catholic.
