Martin Scorsese:
[Discussing "Psycho"]
At that time, as it is now, we expect certain things. And it took storytelling at that time and said, "No, I'm not going to give you that. I'm going to give you something else. Because you think everything is so cool. You're at the end of the 50s, the 60s are going to look glorious to us." I think it was really important for who we were then. You have Vietnam. You have border revolution. You have everything that happened in the 60s. and the society has never been the same. That picture really touched upon that, I think, "Psycho". Of course, you want everything so neat and wrapped up. Well, life isn't like that
