FULL TITLE: It's political correctness gone Psycho! Remake won't show the killer cross-dressing in a shower scene in order to avoid 'transphobia'
It is the chilling moment from the classic film Psycho that once seen can never be forgotten.
Deranged motel proprietor Norman Bates, dressed up in his mother’s clothes, launches a murderous knife attack on a defenceless guest in the shower.
But now the scene from the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock thriller starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh has been remade, but with a crucial difference.
Bates is no longer wearing women’s clothes – for fear of damaging the image of the transgender community.
This is despite the fact he wears his mother’s dresses at other moments in the series.
It is the climatic episode in the fifth and final season of US television series Bates Motel starring British actor Freddie Highmore as Norman Bates and singing superstar Rihanna as his intended victim, Marion Crane.
Why would Rihanna need to embezzled $40k?
A bearded lumberjack in a plaid shirt.
He has. I’ve been watching the show since the beginning and I think it’s a pretty good show. Norman just thinks he’s his mother sometimes and rarely puts her clothes on anyway.
Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.
Regards,
sorry about the misspelling but it is difficult for me to writer on the fly. I have dyslexia so I have to work real hard to correct my spelling and grammar on what ever I write. if I did not have a computer and a word processor I would be unreadable.
As though another reason is needed to boycott Hollywood.
PING!
This could only be considered offensive if Norman Bates actually were a Transgender / Transvestite. He is neither. He dresses as his mother because he believes he IS his mother in those moments. Having him kill as Norman shatters the glass wall separating those two personalities and actually ruins the story line.
Here is what the boys at Animal House would have to say about it:
While I thought the original was hard to watch, this one will be one to miss, altogether.
Um, yes, yes you are.....
Come on, folks. Give him a break. Haven’t we all been bitten by the spell check gremlin?
I think he meant to say he was an “armature wirer”.
People are so harsh and unforgiving on here.
Norman Bates will be a white cop killing a black.
Or maybe armchair rider ?
The New Normal Norman is a man who identifies as a woman who dresses as a man. Women who aren’t dressed at all trigger his murderous rage, because nudity undermines the whole cross-dressing thing, leaving cognitive dissonance in its wake. And that’s actually grandpa in the rocker at the end.
Lighten up, Francis.
I thought the intent was to avoid comparisons with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Norman’s bedridden mother.
Was watching the first season of MASH on dvd last night.
In this episode, Klinger is finally granted his Section 8 discharge by Sidney the psychiatrist. All he has to do is sign an attestation that he’s a homosexual.
He is immediately offended, and vociferously denies the assertion.
Imagine the outrage if that aired today.
There are a few other episodes where homosexuality is ridiculed or otherwise used as a punchline.
MASH was on Netflix for about a week, and was then removed. I wonder what happened.... (not really)
All movies and TV programs are made with the express purpose of promoting an agenda. When the movie was first made cross dressing wasn’t the latest political hot topic. Today it is, as the creeping mental disease known as liberalism spreads.
So this would be what, the second remake? The third? Why?
Klinger: “To tell you the truth, I don’t belong here. If two doctors will sign a form, I’ll be able to go home. And so far, I’ve got all but both of them.”And that episode was written by Mr. Liberal himself, Alan Alda.
Inga: “You know, I may be able to help you.”
Klinger: “Oh, you can? You mean it?”
Inga: “Yeah, well, I have a colleague in Copenhagen who does sex-change operations.”
Klinger: “Yeah? What’s that?”
Inga: “Well, you would finally be transformed into a woman. It’s very sophisticated surgery, but, uh, it’s possible.”
Klinger: “You mean, somebody– You mean, take a knife and– and–“
Inga: “Yeah.”
Klinger: “They’re crazier than I am!”
