Psycho Film Analysis 2

This image is where Norman talks to Marion and invites her to have sandwiches and tea with him. To me this scene is disturbing in a way because Norman seems sweet and tries to help Marion out (about running away). He also notices that she says her name is "Marion Crane" different to what she wrote in the guest book in the previous scene, she has called herself "Marion Samuels".

The mood changes when she mentions his mother “If I heard anyone talk to me the way I heard, the way she spoke to you “Norman starts getting very protective and says, “Every boys mother is his mother" and that he doesn't want her to go into some “mad house”. In this scene we see a lot of low key lighting, but on Norman’s face he has half a dark side and half a light side to show his mental illness (schizophrenia), and to bring the likeness of the disgusting killer Ed Gein. They're both very like each other the way their mother over protected them and how the women was always the "devils". 

The birds behind are his, where he likes to do Taxidermy. The birds to me represent Marion Crane, because a Crane is a type of bird and they’re beautiful harmless birds, but in this scene the shadows make the birds look alive and ready to attack like "bird of prey", who is symbolically represented by Norman .
