Psycho

The screen-play for psycho is very unique for its time having the main character killed off almost half-way threw the film. Also the money. The money was the driving factor for the first part of the movie until we see the money sink into the swamp. Then its more about finding out who is murdering them. There is also a recurring theme of birds.  Bates has pictures of birds all over the motel and has them stuffed in his pallor. The female leads last name is Crane. Bates also has the appearance of a bird during some shots of the movie like how he eats and walks. The writer uses humor to hint at bates actually being his mother.
