JAMES BOND 007 CONTRE DR.NO (1962)

En 1962, dans la capitale jamaïcaine, Kingston, le chef de la section jamaïcaine du MI6, John Strangways, est assassiné par un trio de faux aveugles connus sous le nom de Three Blind Mice. Après s'être introduits dans la villa de Strangways et avoir assassiné sa secrétaire Mary, les assassins subtilisent deux dossiers, respectivement intitulés Crab Key et Doctor No.

À Londres, l'agent secret James Bond, de matricule 007, est convoqué dans le bureau de son supérieur, M. Bond reçoit pour ordre d'enquêter sur la disparition de Strangways et de déterminer si elle est liée ou non à une affaire sur laquelle il travaillait avec la CIA, portant sur la perturbation par ondes radio de lancements de fusées depuis Cap Canaveral. Pour cette mission, l'agent voit son arme Beretta remplacée par le Walter PPK (Bond ayant été blessé dans sa précédente mission).

À son arrivée à l'aéroport de Kingston, une photographe tente de le prendre en photo, et il est aussitôt pris en filature par deux hommes. D'autre part, un conducteur suspect lui propose ses services alors qu'il n'avait demandé aucun chauffeur. Bond lui intime de quitter la route principale et, après un bref combat, l'homme refuse de révéler le nom de son employeur avant de se suicider avec une cigarette au cyanure.

Au cours de l’enquête à la villa de Strangways, Bond remarque la photo d'un pêcheur avec Strangways. Après avoir repéré le dénommé Quarrel, Bond discute avec lui mais le trouve peu coopératif. Bond le reconnaît comme étant le conducteur de la voiture l'ayant pris en filature la veille. Il le suit et commence à se battre avec lui et un ami lorsque le combat est interrompu par le second homme ayant attendu Bond à l'aéroport : il affirme se nommer Felix Leiter, agent à la CIA, et explique que non seulement les deux agents travaillent sur la même mission, mais aussi que Quarrel l'assiste dans sa tâche. Il informe Bond que la CIA a réussi à remonter le brouillage jusqu'à la Jamaïque, mais que les reconnaissances aériennes n'ont pas permis de localiser sa provenance. Quarrel révèle alors qu'il a emmené Strangways sur les îles proches afin de collecter des échantillons de minéraux. Il parle également du Dr No, qui possède l'île de Crab Key sur laquelle se trouve une mine de bauxite : l'île est activement protégée des intrus par une force armée de sécurité, assistée d'un radar.

Pendant la fouille de la maison de Strangways, Bond avait trouvé un reçu signé du professeur Dent. Après avoir survécu à une tentative d'assassinat de la part des Three Blind Mice, Bond se rend aux laboratoires Dent : selon le professeur, les échantillons apportés par Stragways ne valaient rien. Sur ce, Dent se rend immédiatement sur Crab Key, où le Dr No lui fait part de son déplaisir quant à sa venue sur l'île en plein jour et son échec à tuer Bond. Il lui ordonne d'essayer de nouveau, cette fois-ci avec une tarentule. La nuit, Bond parvient à tuer l'araignée. Le lendemain, il sympathise avec la secrétaire à la maison du Gouvernement, Mlle Taro, qui est également complice de l’organisation secrète avec Dent. Elle lui donne rendez-vous chez elle.

Mais en cours de route, l'espion est pourchassé par un corbillard conduit par les Three Blind Mice qu'il arrive à les conduire à leur propre enterrement en les sortant de la route et arrive chez la secrétaire. Cette dernière, très surprise, couche avec lui. Mais l'espion, sûr de sa culpabilité, la fait arrêter et tend un piège au professeur chez elle, qu'il parvient à capturer, interroger et qu'il élimine froidement de deux balles, alors que le pistolet du docteur Dent est vide, illustrant ainsi sa licence de tuer, rappelée par M lors de leur entrevue avant la mission.

Ayant détecté des traces de radioactivité des échantillons de Strangways dans le bateau de Quarrel, Bond persuade le Jamaïcain réticent de l'emmener sur Crab Key. Il y rencontre Honey Ryder, une jeune femme cherchant des coquillages et seulement vêtue d'un bikini blanc. Malgré un accueil hostile, elle accepte d'aider Bond et emmène les deux hommes dans les marais intérieurs de l'île. Après la tombée de la nuit, ils sont attaqués par le faux dragon du Dr No, qui terrorisait l'île de Crab Key. Pris d'assaut par Bond et Quarrel, l'engin est responsable de la mort de ce dernier pour voir 007 et son amie être faits prisonniers. Bond et Honey sont décontaminés,ils apprennent que l'eau des marais est contaminée. Puis ils sont emmenés dans une prison dorée puis drogués.

À leur réveil, ils sont escortés jusqu'à la salle à manger du Dr No. Il révèle alors qu'il est membre du SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) et prévoit de perturber le programme Mercury de Cap Canaveral grâce à un faisceau d'ondes atomiques. Après le dîner, Honey est emmenée et Bond frappé par les gardes.

Emprisonné dans une cellule, Bond parvient à s'évader par le système de ventilation. Déguisé en technicien, il se rend dans la salle de contrôle, une salle pleine d'instruments high-tech dotée d'un réacteur atomique enfoncé dans le sol, le tout supervisé par le Dr No en personne. Bond parvient à dérégler le réacteur nucléaire alors que la fusée américaine est en train de décoller. Il engage un combat au corps à corps avec un garde qui l'a repéré, puis avec le Dr No alors que la salle est en cours d'évacuation : poussé dans le bassin nucléaire en ébullition, le scientifique meurt ébouillanté, incapable de s'agripper à l'échelle métallique avec ses mains humides. Bond réussit à trouver Honey et à s'enfuir en bateau avec elle juste avant que la base n'explose.

James Bond et Honey se retrouvent donc sur le bateau. Alors qu’ils commençaient à se faire des câlins, la marine anglaise les aperçoit, et décide de les aider en les traînant derrière leur bateau, avec une corde. Mais James retire cette dernière assez rapidement, laissant les deux compagnons perdus en mer, continuant à se faire des câlins, sous le regard amusé des marins.

"DR. NO" (1962) 60th Anniversary Review

Last month, October 2022, marked the 60th anniversary of "DR. NO", the first James Bond movie produced by EON Productions. Here is my review of the movie:

"DR. NO" (1962) 60th Anniversary Review This 1962 movie marked the cinematic debut of EON Production's James Bond franchise, created by Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. Sean Connery also made his debut in this film as the MI-6 agent, James Bond. Although many critics and fans consider film as one of the more impressive in the franchise, I honestly cannot say that I share their opinion. Based on Ian Fleming's 1958 novel, "DR. NO" begins with the murder of MI-6 agent Strangeways and his secretary by a trio of assassins in Jamaica. Fellow MI-6 agent James Bond is ordered by his superior, "M", to investigate the agent’s death and eventually stumbles upon a plot by Dr. Julius No, an agent of the criminal organization SPECTRE, to disrupt the U.S. space program for the Chinese Republic. As I had stated earlier, I have never considered "DR. NO" as one of the more impressive entries of the Bond franchise. In fact, it is one of my least favorite Bond movies of all time. The main problem I had with "DR. NO" was the schizophrenic script written by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwood, and Berkely Mather that featured an unbalanced mixture of genres. I suppose they had no choice. After all, they simply wrote a close adaptation of Fleming's novel. And Fleming never struck me as the world's greatest novelist. The story began as a mystery thriller, as Bond tried to figure out who was behind Strangeways' death. Unfortunately, the movie transformed into a fantasy-style adventure when Bond and one of his CIA contacts, Quarrel made their way to Dr. No's Crab Key Island in order to disrupt the villain's plot. A part of me wishes that Young and the screenwriters had made changes in Fleming's story. The stilted dialogue peppered throughout the movie only made matters even worse for me. The worst line came out of the mouth of former beauty pageant winner, Marguerite LeWars, who portrayed a photographer working for SPECTRE.  I take that back.  Miss LeWars never spoke that line.  It came from the mouth of the actress hired to dub her voice.  Although Miss LeWars never spoke the line, it struck me as so bad that I will not even repeat it. Even Connery was guilty of spewing some wooden dialogue. In fact, his performance seemed as uneven as the movie’s story and production style. In many scenes, he seemed to be the epitome of the smooth British agent. And in other scenes – especially with Jack Lord, who was the first actor to portray CIA agent Felix Leiter – he came off as gauche and wooden. Mr. Lord, on the other hand, gave a consistently polished and performance as the sardonic Agent Leiter. Much has been made of Ursula Andress’ performance as "Bond Girl No.1" Honey Ryder – especially her famous first appearance when her character emerges upon a beach. Frankly, I have never been able to sense the magic of that moment. Nor did I find Andress' presence in the movie particularly impressive. Not only was her character irrelevant to the story, but she failed to aid Bond’s attempts to defeat Dr. No. I first became a fan of Joseph Wiseman ever since I noticed his sly and subtle performance as a 1960s gangster in the Michael Mann TV series, "CRIME STORY". But I was not that impressed by his Dr. Julius No, a character that simply bored me to tears. I might as well say the same about Anthony Dawson’s performance as SPECTRE agent, Professor Dent. Many fans have been waxing lyrical over a scene featuring his death at Bond's hand. Personally, I found Bond's actions unprofessional. The MI-6 agent could have easily drugged the SPECTRE operative, removed any inconvenient cyanide pills and had MI-6 "question" him.  Instead, Bond killed him in cold blood . . . and lost any chance to get more information from Dent.  Moron.  "DR. NO" can boast first-class performances by American-born John Kitzmiller as the exuberant Jamaican CIA contact, Quarrel. And Zena Marshall gave a solid, yet subtle performance as Professor Dent’s Eurasian secretary and SPECTRE agent, Miss Taro. It is only too bad that the producers and Terence Young could not find genuine Eurasians for both the Dr. No and Miss Taro roles. But I guess that would not have been possible in 1962. "DR. NO" featured some beautiful photography of Jamaica from cinematographer Ted Moore. Monty Norman not only provided a first-rate musical score, but he also delivered the original "James Bond" theme. However, some of the movie's flaws – namely the uneven script and direction by Terence Young, along with the wooden dialogue, makes "DR. NO" vastly overrated in my eyes. But what can I expect from a movie that consistently threatens to put me to sleep two-thirds into the story?

Welcome to my newest AU: Lost but everyone who ever stepped foot on the island has some type of usable magic power from that moment on. Rules for this is every power has a drawback and it only activates at a critical moment to their character arc. Here's what powers I assigned them:

Jack Shephard: Can heal people using his own life force. He can only give up to 50% of his own life force to do this, if the injury can't be healed by that, he can't save a person. Jack's power doesn't activate until way into Season 6 because he didn't have faith in the island.

Kate Austen: Has the same power as Blake Belladonna in RWBY. Both are characters who are established as people on the run because of their past. Their powers reflect that. Whenever Kate is attacked, if she reacts fast enough, she can leave behind a shadow of herself to take the hit for her.

James "Sawyer" Ford: The angrier he gets, the more damage his punches do. On the other hand, if he gets genuinely sad and devastated, his physical abilities are significantly stunted and damage is almost non-existent.

Charlie Pace: Can focus on a person and play or sing a song that reflects their true nature. This can be used to gather information about them. He can only do this once per person.

Claire Littleton: She can sense danger, even when there otherwise isn't any indication of it.

Hugo "Hurley" Reyes: Can speak to the dead. Activates off-island.

Sun-Hwa Kwon: Can accelerate the growth of plants and the natural healing process of animals and people. She has to know and understand the species to do this.

Jin-Soo Kwon: Can communicate with the ocean to go with the "son of a fisherman" theme. If his head is underwater the ocean tries to kill him tho.

John Locke: Is the only one who doesn't have a power. He's like Mirabel Madrigal. He's deeply important to the story but he has 0 magic. He himself and other characters throughout the story think that he does during varying points of time but it's always the MiB messing with him. He realizes this at the end. Can you tell I like angst yet?

Michael Dawson: Can create a magic shield using his own stamina. Shield disappears when his stamina runs out.

Walter "Walt" Lloyd: Astral Projection. Self-explanatory.

Vincent: Ages normally and can die of old age but is otherwise virtually indestructible. Usually animals don't get any powers but Vincent's was given to him by Jacob directly to assist the survivors.

Sayid Jarrah: Can burn a person with his touch when he wants to. Doing this inflicts an equal amount of emotional pain to him as the physical pain he causes. I like angst.

Shannon Rutherford: Can master any skill within 30 minutes if she puts her mind to it. Never figures this out because she has been told that she's useless all her life and believes it. Only uses this once when she translates French but thinks those are lucky guesses.

Boone Carlyle: Blood-bending. Mostly gave this to him because everytime he angrily stares at someone you can tell that his blood is boiling. Never uses this once during his lifetime though.

Rose Henderson Nadler & Bernard Nadler: Have a soul link with one another. They can always tell how the other is feeling and neither of them can die while the other still lives as long as they're on good terms. Virtually indestructible unless you kill them at the exact same time but why the fuck would you.

Ana Lucia Cortez: Pyromancy. Fits her vibe. Also bound to stamina.

Elizabeth "Libby" Smith: Can read people's emotions.

Mr. Eko: Precognition. Can tell what he needs to do when and can anticipate things a couple seconds before they happen.

Benjamin Linus: Everytime he lies (to convince someone of his lie, sarcasm not included), it slightly alters reality in an unexpected way to make his lie appear like the truth. This is how Anthony Cooper gets to the island after Ben tells John about the magic box. The result of his lies is always unexpected and can backfire. He can't make something specific happen intentionally. His power activated during the purge.

Juliet Burke: Ice-bending. This has nothing to do with her character but I've previously seen Elizabeth Mitchell in Once Upon A Time and The Santa Clause and both times she plays a character that has something to do with winter. Also bound to stamina.

Ethan Rom: Superhuman strength. Self-explanatory. It actually takes multiple shots from 6 guns to take him down in this AU.

Harper Stanhope: Can see people's time of death over their head. Was very confused that Juliet's said 1977 and Ben's was way past his normal life expectancy.

Goodwin Stanhope: Idk what his power is but it's certainly not danger sense. 💀

Roger Linus: Can sense fear. Terrible power for a terrible man. I love Ben, I promise. I also love angst tho. The moment Ben killed him was the only time he didn't sense any fear from him, which scared the shit out of him.

Desmond David Hume: Activates his power after the events of "The Constant". Can see glimpses of people's past and future upon touching them. Can only do this once per person.

Frank Lapidus: Always lands safe. Literally always lands on his feet like a cat. Also applies to planes / helicopters he flies.

Charlotte Staples Lewis: Can speak any language after hearing it spoken once. Growing up with this was very confusing off-island.

Miles Straume: Reading the final thoughts of the dead. Self-explanatory.

Daniel Faraday: Stopping time for up to an hour. After using this power, he can't use it for 24 times the amount of time he stopped time for. Only can use it in present time.

Illana Verdansky: Able to tell when people lie.

Danielle Rousseau: Her bullet or arrow always hits the target unless the target specifically blocks it.

Alexandra Rousseau: Can make herself invisible. Used for stealth.

Karl Martin: Can accelerate his speed. Bound to stamina.

Mikhail Bakunin: Telepathy.

Eloise Hawking: Chain Reaction. Once a day for 5 minutes she can see the effects of every action of hers she thinks about.

Charles Widmore: Can take a glimpse at people's destiny. Only can do this once per person.

Richard Alpert: Can't be killed by anything ever. Can't even die of natural causes. Can't die.

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H.

Fantastic Disney crossover I'd actually like to see

The Rescuers and The Great Mouse Detective being in the same universe.

Specifically, I like imagining that Basil helped found the modern version of the Rescue Aid Society.

Even more specifically, as suggested by @darylstorey, an elderly Basil joining Bernard and Bianca on one of their adventures as a sort of advisor or something.

I love imagining him getting bittersweet feelings about Bernard because he reminds him of his old friend Dawson (who has gone to the big cheese wheel in the sky by this point), and being pleased by Miss Bianca's zest for adventure that matches his own, and maybe the three of them working together on a case in Great Britain.

...The only problem is that if Disney were to make this, they'd probably ruin it by saying that, like Palpatine, somehow Ratigan had survived the fall from Big Ben, rather than coming up with an original villain for them to deal with.

Sigh.

Two of my favorite childhood movies (Pooh and Rescuers) came from the Bronze era of Disney. In your option, which characters would be a regression and which would be a friend based on the entire era?

The Aristocats: Duchess would definitely be a caregiver while the kittens would be friends. I could see Thomas maybe being a flip; he’s got regressor vibes, but he also takes care of others.

Robin Hood: I think Robin and Miriam would both be flips; they both love looking after others, but they also love being childish.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: Kanga and Owl are full-on caregiver, Roo and Christopher Robin would be friends, and all the other animals are older siblings.

The Rescuers: Bernard and Bianca are caregivers, and I can see Penny regressing both from stress and from a longing for a more typical childhood.

The Fox and the Hound: Tod strikes me as a regressor, and Copper would probably be a flip.

The Black Cauldron: I haven’t actually seen this one yet XD

The Great Mouse Detective: I see Basil as more of a regressor, and I actually wrote some headcanons for him. Dawson is absolutely a caregiver.

Oliver and Company: Fagin and the dogs are all caregivers, while Oliver and Jenny are friends.

(These are all just my opinions; if you want to make a suggestion that contradicts these opinions, go right ahead! 🙂)

How We Make Our Psychos: A Psycho Retrospective

By Rebecca Smith

Artwork by Dy Dawson @xgardensinspace

Psycho. For a great many people, that single word is enough to conjure up Bernard Herrmann’s iconic screech of violins and Janet Leigh’s screaming face as a knife arcs towards her in the shower. Whether or not a person has actually seen Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 psychological thriller won’t spare them – in the more than six decades since its release, Psycho has become a cultural touchstone for America and the horror genre. The pivotal spoilers Hitchcock went to much effort to conceal – if you didn’t know, the conventions of cinemas having start times and no late admissions policies are thanks to Psycho – are now so well entrenched in our collective cultural psyche that I wouldn’t be surprised if newborns’ shrieks these days are actually baby speak for “IT WAS NORMAN!!”

It's perhaps unsurprising that Hitchcock’s Psycho, which was named the greatest movie ever made by Variety in December 2022, is not exactly unexplored territory when it comes to analyses. Whilst the legendary shower scene is one of the most famous movie scenes in history, virtually every shot of this suspenseful masterpiece is familiar to us and, as such, has had interpretation after interpretation, and symbolism after metaphor after allegory, applied to and teased out of it. Fortunately, I’ve still been allowed to write something about Psycho anyway, so do indulge me and read on.

At its twisted roots, Psycho poses the question of how well we truly know other people, and this unsettling thought is where its lasting horror derives from. Lila Crane, Sam Loomis, and Mr Lowrey are all shocked to discover Marion Crane has run off with $40,000 because this isn’t the Marion they thought they knew; likewise, the entirety of Fairvale are shocked to discover Norman Bates has been murdering people while dressed as his mother – who he also murdered – and for years has been looking after her preserved corpse as if she was still alive. This isn’t the Norman they thought they knew, either. As the audience, we’re positioned to be shocked by this reveal about Norman too, as we’ve been encouraged to feel sorry for him as the dutiful, unworldly son of a cruel and possessive mother. Instead, we discover the brutal violence in Psycho is a part of Norman and we were just taken in by Anthony Perkins’ innocent smile – which, of course, was one of the many reasons he was chosen for the role.

In the real world, the people of Plainfield, Wisconsin, probably felt a similar shock in 1957 when it was uncovered that one of their locals had killed and mutilated two women and was living in a house full of stolen human body parts, many of which he’d morbidly fashioned into pieces of furniture. It is widely known that this unassuming local, Ed Gein, was a source of inspiration for Robert Bloch’s original 1959 Psycho novel, of which Hitchcock’s film is an adaptation. After the initial horror of Gein’s crimes, there remained the uncomfortable realisation that something like that could happen right under a community’s nose. A story not a million miles away from Psycho can, and did, happen somewhere it would be least expected to.

In a bold move for its era, then, Psycho explores why its killer kills. Psychoanalysis – the legacy of Sigmund Freud – was popular in America around the time of Psycho’s creation, and both Bloch and Hitchcock incorporated it into their respective works, most obviously through the character of Norman. As well as being one of the most recognisable poster boys for the Oedipus complex, which Bloch actually highlights Norman’s self-awareness of early in the novel, a significant portion of Norman’s dialogue in the Hitchcock film functions as Freudian slips about the horrible truth his unconscious is repressing. The inclusion of psychoanalytic elements in Psycho is an important component in making Norman a complex horror villain rather than one who kills for the sheer evilness of it. We could spend an entire essay debating exactly which mental illnesses Norman is supposed to be suffering from, and it is clear in retrospect that their depiction does not quite hold up to the reality in any case, but the fact that Norman is not well and has been spiralling for some time – while no excuse for murder – means we understand why he is where he is mentally and why he stays in his “private trap” rather than facing reality.

Of course, it is all very good understanding the psychology behind our so-called proto slasher, but Psycho hints towards the external as well as the internal factors that go into making a deranged killer. I am referring here to the place where Norman was allowed to fester: the fictional town of Fairvale, California. In its depiction of the small town, Psycho is critiquing the type of society and community attitude that unwittingly enables someone like Norman. American society in the 1950s was repressed – look what happened when Elvis wiggled onstage – and it is this repression that has disastrous consequences in Psycho.

It is Lila who summarises the issue with Fairvale in Bloch’s novel, in a disappointed observation about Sam: “He had that slow, cautious, conservative small-town outlook.” This outlook, exhibited by both Sam and Sheriff Chambers in their insistence on waiting and not bothering Norman, is perhaps best typified by Mrs Chambers in the Hitchcock film. When Lila and Sam learn Mrs Bates supposedly poisoned herself and her lover in a murder-suicide some ten years past, Mrs Chambers adds, “Norman found them dead together. In bed.” There is a disapproving emphasis on “in bed”, as if this is the most shameful aspect of the incident, which serves to highlight the still dominant conservative Christian outlook on sexuality and marriage prevalent at the time. This societal outlook on sexuality is shown throughout Psycho to be detrimental to its characters: at the beginning of the film, Marion is unhappy she and Sam are unmarried and must meet in hotel rooms for sex; and Norman, of course, has internalised disgust and guilt with his own sexuality to such an extent that, in a misogynistic twist, he projects that disgust and guilt on to any woman he finds attractive, allowing ‘Mother’ to surface and kill her.

In addition to this, Mrs Chambers has two other lines that provide insight into the community Norman grew up in. She mentions she helped Norman choose the dress his mother was buried in, remembering that it was “periwinkle blue”. Then, a few scenes later, she invites Lila and Sam for a meal to make reporting Marion’s disappearance and theft “nicer” for them. Both of these are kind acts, but are they inordinately helpful ones? Neither of these gestures would have illuminated what Norman had done; they were more like putting plasters over gaping wounds. This, it seems, is the Fairvale way: don’t ask, don’t know.

It is true that this effective silence around difficult or taboo subjects was a society-wide issue, but I think we can assume Fairvale, as a small town, was supposed to have its own distinct, concentrated flavour of it. If most people knew of the Bates family who lived like there was nobody else in the world, did no one ever think to query why that was? Did anyone know what Norma Bates was like? Didn’t anybody notice that Norman had lived in near isolation all his life, and wonder what effect that might have on a person? The answers are clearly no, because that was the Bates family’s business. The warning signs were therefore missed or ignored. At this time, and in this kind of place, the structural forces simply didn’t exist to avert crises of mental health, or abuse, or violence before they escalated. Psycho is pointing out the dark side of contemporary, as it then was, American society. The sort of situation that led to Gein. The story of Norman Bates is in part a warning about how pretending something isn’t happening and being unwilling to face reality – and that’s literal reality, in Norman’s case – only causes more harm in the long-term. And, once again, these external factors also do not excuse Norman’s murders. However, they do help explain how he was able to get away with them, unsuspected, for so long.

            This is not to say there is one single set of circumstances which would enable the story of Psycho to play out in some way. The whole point of Psycho is that it could happen next door, to anyone, because we might not know someone as completely as we think we do. The story could only critique the world it found itself in at that moment, but the passage of time prompts the question: could Norman Bates exist today? After all, not only have taboos around sexuality and mental health weakened considerably in a general sense over the last six decades, but there have also been huge advancements in the technology used to catch criminals. Giving your bloody crime scene a quick wipe down with some water and a mop might not cut it now. The internet too is encroaching further and further on our lives. It is fast becoming impossible to exist without at least a small online presence – and once you have an online presence, there is something about you there for people to pry into.

Then again, while the internet can be a tool to help people in bad situations, we all know what a double-edged sword it is. Never mind the overtly dark corners of the web, someone as well-established in presenting a false state of affairs to the world as Norman is would surely excel in doing the same thing in the supposedly safer online places. In fact, doing it online would be child’s play in comparison to real life. And, inescapably, security cameras would be a modern-day Norman’s scopophilic dream, there is no denying that. There are also still parts of society that cling harder to the values and social etiquette of the past. Who is to say Fairvale would have kept to the average rate of progress?

            Thus, the exact circumstances Psycho painted as aiding Norman’s murders in a small 1950s town might well have been altered in some way in the years since Hitchcock’s untouchable film first hit cinema screens, but the central fear in Psycho about how well we truly know other people remains. In Psycho, the two key characters of Norman and Marion, so often compared as two sides of the same coin, are being dishonest with those around them. Norman is even being dishonest with himself. Today, in our world of chronic oversharing, I’d wager there are still very few people who would – or even could – reveal every part of themselves to other people. Should that really be an aim for anyone? I would argue no, definitely not.

The inevitable consequence of personal privacy is that, in our imperfect world containing messed up people who sometimes do terrible things, there will be a few Normans. Likewise, not everyone can be the Lila who exposes and stops them. We can only exist inside our own heads; we can’t ever truly know the entirety of another person. In the end, the perversion of the familiar, of the people we tell ourselves we know – such as Norman – and the places we think are safe – such as our showers – is what continues to frighten and unnerve us in Psycho.

And Norman’s creepy smile at the end, of course; although that’s my favourite bit.
