Talk:Psycho (1998 film)

nudity in the shower scene (another difference
now I don't want to sound like a pervert, but in the stabbing scene one can also see at least one of Heche's breasts (several times actually). Did't know if this was important enough to put in the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.157.115.11 (talk) 09:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Breasts? Pfft. According to Kevin Smith (on episode one of the podcast 'Hollywood Babble-On', about 54:45-56:15, http://www.smodcast.com/babbleon/index.html), you can see her anus, or 'brown eye' in that scene. But I think there are websites dedicated to that kind of 'special interest' trivia. Physischitzo (talk) 08:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

two more differences, psychological
I noticed two more differences in the movies, though both were somewhat subjective. In the original Loomis comes across as a level-headed guy with a streak of bad luck; in the remake he is more like a drifter who has to be directed by Marion and her sister. Some of Lila's and Loomis's lines are switched to dramatize the difference.

The second difference is that the psychologist seems to be thinking aloud in the remake, instead of a delivering a confident interpretation of events as in the original. Since the original's solution has been criticized as too pat, this might be considered the remake's one improvement.

May, may, may...
Taken from "Differences between the 1998 and 1960 versions":

When Lila Crane discovers the body of Norman Bates' mother, several white doves suddenly fly up. As birds are a recurring motif in the movie, with Norman's hobby of stuffing dead birds, the sudden unexpected appearance of live birds here may symbolize the approaching end of Norman's presence in the motel.

Two problems: One, I have no clue which one the doves fly up from. Two. May. I say it may symbolize him going to have a cheeseburger. See the problem? - Babylon pride (talk) 16:17, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I'm tempted to remove it, but for now I marked it "citation needed".Professor slats (talk) 06:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

In the 1998 remake the birds are kept in a cage to die and then be stuffed. That's where Julianne Moore finds the mummy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.83.232 (talk) 06:17, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Differences
Thankfully someone else corrected differences section which incorrectly listed the cutaway shots during Arbogast's death. However, my original question remains: isn't the reclining naked woman shot from the Nine Inch Nails video for "Closer"? Or, at the very least, isn't it a deliberate reference to the video? I'm unable to find sources but was hoping someone who edits this page frequently could confirm/deny. Clockster (talk) 08:49, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Cannot see Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates. Totally miscast. 2601:248:5480:D80:952B:18A:D7F:E0A4 (talk) 15:02, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
