It's perfect for the story, not a bunch of greens and pinks! Once again, I guess the filmmakers were banking on an audience that never saw the original. Yet, if they were going to keep everything the same, why bother when you weren't going to improve on Tony Perkins, Janet Leigh and the original cast? Did they honestly think Vince Vaughn was going to be as good or better than Perkins? Are you kidding? Ann Heche, with her short mannish-haircut, is going to be better than Leigh? I don't think so! Yes, the colors were pretty in here but it's the black-and-white photography that helped make the 1960 version so creepy to begin with. On one hand, I applaud them for not making this over with a lot of profanity and nudity and making it a sleazy film. The dialog was the same and the story the same. My guess is they wanted to reach a new audience and thought color and modern-day actors were the answer, since those were the main changes. Well, I have to agree with the critics on this one, who all said 'leave it alone.' Why they had to make this re-make of the 1960 'Psycho,' I don't know. And like a dutiful son, covered up all traces of the crime he was convinced his mother had committed! That set off the 'jealous mother' and 'mother killed the girl'! Now after the murder, Norman returned as if from a deep sleep. Fred Simon: When he met your sister, he was touched by her. Therefore, if he felt a strong attraction to any other woman, the mother side of him would go wild.Дr. And because he was so pathologically jealous of her, he assumed that she was jealous of him. Now he was never all Norman, but he was often only mother. At other times, the mother half took over completely. At times he could be both personalities, carry on conversations. So he began to think and speak for her, give her half his time, so to speak. Even treated it to keep it as well as it would keep.

So he had to erase the crime, at least in his own mind. most unbearable to the son who commits it. Matricide is probably the most unbearable crime of all. Now that pushed him over the line and he killed 'em both. and it seemed to Norman that she 'threw him over' for this man.

His mother was a clinging, demanding woman, and for years the two of them lived as if there was no one else in the world. Now he was already dangerously disturbed, had been ever since his father died.

you have to go back ten years, to the time when Norman murdered his mother and her lover. that is, from the mother half of Norman's mind. Now to understand it the way I understood it, hearing it from the mother.
