    The funny thing is that if Norman wasn't so child-like minded, he'd have done the smart thing, and just told the detective that Marion did rent a room, used a fake name, paid in cash, and left the next morning without notice. That way the detective wouldn't have suspected Norman in the first place, and he'd go on a wild goose chase. But he lied at first, which got him suspicious in the first place.

    Janet Leigh, the actress who played Marion, was cast as the big celebrity in the film, so audiences were shocked to see her die so early in the film. Killing off the main protagonist like that was unheard of in those days.

    When this movie came out in theaters people weren't allowed to come in after the beginning and were asked not to reveal the ending after they saw it. When I was 10 years old (in 1967) our parents wouldn't let us watch it on TV. I spent the weekend with my grandmother once and we were watching TV. This movie came on at one point and we watched it. The ending scared me so bad and it still gets to me today so many years later even though I know what's going to happen. Back then there weren't so many scary movies as there are today and it scared the s**t out of people.

    "Psycho" is a psychological thriller. One of Alfred Hitchcock's best movies. Check out his movie, "The Birds". Anthony Perkins was brilliant as Norman Bates. Janet Leigh was a great actress and a very attractive woman. Her daughter is Jamie Lee Curtis. Cars in the 60s were bigger than they are today.

    Like a few other people pointed out, this story was inspired by the real-life grave robber and murderer Ed Gein. He did taxidermy too--on human bodies. That was way too extreme for movie audiences at the time. Gein even had a lamp made of human flesh, and instead of wearing his mother's dress, he tried to become her by wearing her skin. He kept the skull of one of his murder victims in a box.
    He had the same sickness about his mother as Bates, but was older, paunchier and more rural. His story also inspired the more gory Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

    Multiple personalities is now called dissociative identity disorder. I've seen it in my clinical work although some people fake it to give themselves cover for their psychopathic behavior, ascribing it to their "alter". People with mental illness are very sophisticated these days. I saw this when I was a kid, very disturbing. You figured it out very quickly. You should do police work

    There were people that got easily scared after watching this film back then. It didn't scare me the first time I watched it, especially after watching CSI episodes, which have way more gore than this movie has. CSI is a crime show with murder scenes. After the murder happens, the CSI team have to figure out how it happened and who committed the murder. So it's a lot like a whodunnit type of thing.

    that guy plopped down the price for the whole property in cash.
    When a buyer and seller go into a house contract, the buyer gives money to the settlement company. In the meantime, expections are made, the bank agrees to the price, etc. The reason the buyer gives away that money at the start of the contract is because if buyers change their mind willynilly, the seller loses serious candidates (so instead they keep forfeited money up front). It's usually around $10,000 on $850,000 properties.
    Once a customer came down to meet my mom a realtor and tried to hand her $20,000 in cash for a contract. She was like 👁️o👁️ errrr check? We don't... process... cash.
    I should know, I've been an admin. You write the case number on the check and hand it over to be deposited to the settlement companies. Imagine me writing contract info of 1000s of bills...or better yet skidaddling with $10,000. Or better yet skidaddling with $850,000 or $40,000.

    To your point about Norman’s illness is a real illness, it is, but psychiatrists disagreed with the actual nature of this particular case. In spite of any mental health experts dismissing this as unlikely, you never can say something is truly impossible when it comes to the human mind and what it can do.

    This is a great movie and a great reaction channel. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Regarding the end comments about DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) the American Psychiatric Society changed the name from MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), in 1994 to DID and rightfully so. DID is a Dissociation Disorder, (along with DPDR, OSDD, OSDD1A, 1B, ect). Dissociative Disorders are not Psychotic Disorders (losing touch with or having a impaired perception of reality). Movies like this (Split, etc) sensationalize DID.
    It's unfortunate for people with DID to be linked to these types of movies. Now, I believe serial killer Billy Milligan was diagnosed with DID, but it is very rare for individuals with DID to be dangerous. DID is caused by trauma (often extreme and/or repetitive trauma of a young child), and it is a dissociative coping mechanism to deal with the trauma . DID is not psychotic, psychopathic or sociopathic. People who experience any form of dissociation or multiplicity are often misdiagnosed as psychotic. traumadissociation . com & did-research . org are excellent websites.
    There's a fantastic video on CZcams by The CTAD Clinic channel called A visual understanding of how alters / parts are formed by trauma in DID and OSDD. I recommend anyone reading this to watch that short video as DID is often misunderstood and often confused with schizophrenia, psychopathy, etc.
