Psycho Directed by Gus Van Sant
A SHOT FOR SHOT REMAKE OF A MASTERPIECE.
I’ve been meaning to do another one. Something stands out for me; among all the controversy of GUS’ Shot for Shot adaption. The original truly is perfect; it is a masterpiece. There is no other way to remake it other than the way Van Zant decided to to.
Of course we’ll be discussing the shower scene. Where were you the first time you saw this film? What do you think of the original and the remake? What does the sequence mean to you (how does it impact you). What would you have done differently, if any?
Let’s break this down.
First the Scene:
Keep in mind:
There are a Total of 66 Cuts in this selected sequence
The scene is from 00:43:47 to 00:47:45.
From 00:45:20 to 00:45:51 there are 43 Cuts. That’s 43 Cuts in 31 Seconds and the year is 1960.
And of course the last shot of Norman and into the fade where we get the end titles; apparentyl thsi is identical to the original version
