Hitchcock

Last night I watched the film Hitchcock, in which Anthony Hopkins plays the role of Alfred Hitchcock and shows how Psycho came about. It shows how much Hitchcock had to fight and challenge everyone as no one believed in the film at the time. He had to finance it himself as the thought of murder, nudity, and even showing a toilet on American films was a scandal. This shows how desensitised we are now. Brian DePalma, the director of the original Carrie, but nudity at the beginning of the film to shock the audience and to make them think if the director would do that, what else is going to happen? This built the tension as they didn't know what other scandals were to come.
