She was simply brilliant. This movie moved me to tears and that rarely happens with horror flicks in my case. Everyone was amazing but Saoirse was so intense... The original Evil Ed is my fave character. The one in the remake was lame and lacked the gay undertones. The scene in which Jerry turns him in the original is beautiful. It might have been Dangerous Beauty. In some scenes Betty and Diane seem so different. It was an amazing job by Naomi. I knew her from other movies as Tank Girl and a period piece which I can't remember the title. But went to see the Lynch movie (long-time fan) and was overwhelmed. It took me three viewings to really try to understand it. I wonder what Lynch could do and how stellar Naomi would be in the planned series. Yes, her acting in Mulholland Drive is one of the best, most impressive in films from the last 30 years. Jodie is amazing in this film. Yeah, I see the artistic licence and the moth thing but it has always bothered me. More so since they emphasise eyes a lot in this film with close ups and Clarice's expressions. I must have missed that. At which point in the movie? I see no love in that family dynamic, rather a crazy controlling father and an unethical therapist mother using their children for their little cult. They were all sociopathic scum. The blondie is singer Sky Ferreira. It's just a fancy cameo. Mulholland Drive, 21 Grams and Ellie Parker. But I also love her acting in The Ring and Stay. Naomi is one of the finest actresses of her generation. She is committed and has a wide range. She could do anything. I blame the Industry for not appreciating her skills. Yes, but I can't help pitying Norman as written by Bloch. Hitchcock's Bates is good looking and possesses a boyish charm but he's vicious and calculating. That scene in which Norman overlooks the swamp after a kill is creepy. She was too cool to be true. Her eyes gave me the creeps in some of the scenes, like that early one in which she is choosing the sweets... calculating how to behave and please Chris I guess. I must have missed that bit. Thanks. It seems it tells how young Norman became what he did. I am reading the original novel again. Norman was a totally different character physically but I think Tony sorta got his essence. I think he performed well. Lange is amazing in so little screen time. The brother also. I liked that big reveal though. It's a cool movie. I think we start understanding all the symbolism after a couple of rewatchings. That deer analogy was great. I think I will watch it again. I must have missed some details. I remember one of the creeps telling Chris that he would be like a passenger, watching it all from the deep, like in that hypnosis scene. If they mixed their brains it's possible, otherwise it's a huge plot hole.
