All I have to say is, Anthony Hopkins conducting the shower scene in Psycho. That and Helen Mirren as Alma. This film is a great inspiration for anyone who wants to make a film. It shows that no matter who you are it ain't easy and we know that is true. Recently Brad Pitt struggled to get Money Ball made. Historically Walt Disney struggled to get Snow White made. In the case of Snow White and Psycho, Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock ended up putting up their own money to make the films and not just a little money but house money. Like they would lose their homes if they did not make the money back on the film. That is the kind of passion and belief it takes to make great films and Hitchcock does a good job of showing one of the the greatest directors of all time struggling like a kid out of school to get his film made. Not only the money but the creative process itself if shown here and again, it ain't easy. Did you know Psycho almost ended up on TV? See the movie and watch Anthony Hopkins conduct the shower scene. Brilliant!
