Movies shaped by the times

Psycho (1960

In the shower scene ' in Alfred Hitchcock 's movie , the amount of blood that flowed can be considered in contemporary times as nothing short of artistry or a sense of tastefulness in the viewer 's understanding . However , during the 1960 's , the shower scene ' is considered unreasonable or gratuitous , giving the scene the impression that it depicts too much unsolicited violence . For those who look upon the shower scene ' as one of Hitchcock 's attempt of revolutionizing films , the scene can be treated as

The chief movie posters of the film clearly tell us this idea that they are both young , they are in-love , and they kill people ' adding up to the inner treatment of the movie towards violence placed together with sexuality

Another treatment of sexuality in the movie reflects the idea that , in situations wherein individuals go against the law , women can also get themselves involved . With Bonnie Parker venturing against the arms of the law by robbing banks , the bank robbery scene in the movie where Bonnie fires a gun indicates that women can also resort to violence and that their language can nevertheless adapt to the circumstances in which they are in .
