Hitchcock, A.(1960) Psycho is one of the most well loved films in the history of cinema. It stars Janet leigh who plays Marion Crane, a woman who after a series of events envolving a lot of money, hides in a motel owned by the Bates, a family consisting of Norman Bates and his mother. After a argument between the family, Norman tells Marion that the only way to escape the private trap of her mother would to be to take responsibility of the money she had stolen.
The most notible moment of Voyerism would be when Norman watches Marion undress through a peephole, quite similar to Michael Douglass watching Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. Both male characters are getting increasingly obsessed with the females of there respective films.
It is interesting to note the overall 'mastermind' of the household being Norman's Mother. She does not like Marion staying with them, and would hate for Norman to be involved with this woman.It is very cleverly laid out that the audience has the Mother's pressence felt throughout the scene.
