      Exactly. GVS didn’t know lighting and lens as well as Hitchcock. Notice in the scene where Arbogast is killed. In the original you can see the light gleaming off the knife. You can easily tell what mother is holding. In the remake you can’t even tell what’s in mother’s hand.

      It is not exactly the same movie shot by shot but an experimental movie where in one case Black and White is bleak in one case and in the other color rose and red are more vivid , those palettes are actors. Hitchcock Wins because black and White are more gothic and more suspenseful. Camera and angles are not quite the same. And actors have less charisma in gus van Sant case.

Hitchcock version predated a lot of horror classics that were in the rear view for the 1998 remake and it had to live in comparison. Also, Hitchcock had the element of surprise as people were seeing the story play out for the first time and audiences had no idea what would happen next. Everyone already knew what was coming for the remake and that makes for a suspense killer.

      Yeah, and the acting just shows how superior the original Norman Bates is compare to the other one. Combining the B&W tone with acting, Anthony Perkins barely moves his facial features so that the audiences can be directed to focus on his malicious eyes, and the last shot was in front of his face, showing the slow-changing face of Perkins. The new one, on the other hand, feels like the actor is just looking around because the script told him to, and the last shot with the camera above his face is just awful.

      I dont even get the point in remaking it how he did. First off everything looks so bright colourful and oversaturated, it looks more like a romantic comedy then a psychological horror. Not to mention the fact that he did the shower scene completely identical. Hitchcock was restrained due to how much limitation on film there was for gore and nudity back then, that's one of the most perfect scenes he can recreate, similar to how the tv series did so, making it more gorey while still staying true to the original.

  • @TheBigGSN5
    @TheBigGSN5 2 года назад +85

    One of the issues is that it isn't shot for shot. Van Sant clearly starts changing things heavily after the shower scene. The blocking is also different from the beginning. In each scene, either the actors are being directed to awkwardly mimic the previous performances or they're doing something totally different that misses the point of the shot the remake is mimicking. This movie is very "uncanny valley" for anyone that's seen the original; everything is the same, but wrong. Though it would be cruel, it would be worthwhile for someone who's never seen the original to watch the remake first and share what they think.
    Vaughn is also too big and "hip serial killer" looking. Vaughn is 6'5" or so and Mortensen is maybe 5'10". There's a shot in the original where Loomis "looms" over Norman that the remake struggles to fake.

    And also the way Anthony Perkins did facial expressions in the final scene always frightens me to death. But I cannot see such expressions in the remake.

To make it an experiment, you have to REALLY make a difference, not only make a coloured copy: to think, colour is better than black&white,prooved wrong- especially for an athmospheric story as"Psycho"provides!

And all of those mediums were designated to be replicated with other actors and productions, they were created with that exact intetion - again, very much unlike movies.

    I consider the remake an interesting experiment, to put on a modern spin while at the same time being faithful to the story...but Vince Vaughn was definitely a miscasting. Anne Heche was surprisingly adequate but she pales by comparison to Janet Leigh. Heche did not drew you in and did not make you invest in her character as much as Leigh did. I also like the re-imagining of Lila by Julianne Moore. But overall, the shot by shot comparison only highlight the remake's shortcomings.

    I love all the performances in the remake except the two leads. But, sadly, it is the two leads that make or break the film. Viggo Mortensen, Rita Wilson, William H. Macy all give fun performances that are great updates to their respective characters. Robert Forster makes the psychoanalysis scene more tolerable by speaking less dramatically (and faster). Anne Heche, however, plays it a bit "too loose." It looks like her character is looking for trouble, whereas Janet Leigh plays it very cautious and careful, making her death more shocking. And Vince Vaughn doesn't work for me at all. But he can probably be forgiven because Anthony Perkin's performance is damn near irreplaceable. It's also sad that two of my favorite filmmakers, Gus Van Sant and Christopher Doyle, were involved in this. Still, I don't object anyone attempting this. And I wonder what someone like Brian De Palma would do if he were tasked with this.

    Stage plays are remade all the time. For example, the cast in the US version of Hamilton, isn’t the same as the version in the UK or Australia. But it’s the same show, same choreography, same script. They all work, which is strange.
    I think the cast are pretty good, but Vince Vaughan is miscast. He looks like he could kill you. I guess where The Bates Motel went right, is they took the idea and did their own thing with it.

    Original movie in 1960 is better...wt a actress and actors that time....and making was so good ..and amazing quality of film in black white in 1960....but new remake is worst and waste...I think they must not do remake of that film ....it's a insult .....
