Psycho
The scene is when Marion arrives at the hotel. After checking in she is invited to have dinner with Norman. While she is getting settled Norman goes back into the house and Marion overhears He and his "Mother" arguing about Marion eating dinner there. He instead brings the dinner down to her where they begin to talk. While talking she gives her opinion of what he should do with his mother because she is "very ill". Throughout this scene you get an idea of how Norman feels about his mother, and why he feels like he need to be there for her. This scene to me relates to the movie as a whole because all of the things that the viewer was told during this part of the movie is later explained at the end. How Norman's mother dies 10 years ago but to customers, and to himself, he acts as if she is still living. He also says that his mother couldn't deal with the death of her boyfriend and is having a hard time dealing with his death as well as Norman's father. When in fact, Norman poisoned both the boyfriend and the mother. We also believe the mother to be doing the murdering but it has been Norman dressed in women clothes and a wig. The anatomy of the film i feel is in this scene but is slowly broken down and explained more in depth throughout the remainder of the movie.

Throughout the entire movie he feels uneasy because he is searching for something, searching for his place in this world. His major issues lie with the scum that pollute his city and the fact that no one is doing anything about it. This scene is where Travis
