Response #6: Irony Analysis

 The movie Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock has many ironies, one of them is dramatic irony. A dramatic irony is when the audience knows something that the character doesn't know about. For example when Marion Crane was in the shower we saw the figure behind the curtains. The audience know that there's someone the but Marion doesn't know and that is what irritates the audience because the killer is right there and yet Marion doesn't notice. Also when Sam kept asking Norman about how he was going to afford to move away or start a new life unless he had money. Sam was trying to make Norman confess that he had the forty-thousand dollars. When the truth is the money was in swamp, Norman didn't know that inside the newspaper was the money. The audience knows where the money but Sam doesn't know that and that's what it makes it a dramatic irony.

This kind of irony makes the audience irritating but also create a tension and suspense. It lures the audience more deeper in the movie. It makes you want to scream at the screen even though the characters can't hear you. Makes you want to pull your hair or bite on your nails just waiting on what's going to happen. And that my friend is dramatic irony.

The scariest movie I have ever watch was Silence Of The Lambs. Every time I watch it chills are send all over my body. It's one of those movies that doesn't want you to walk down the hallway without the lights. The things that makes it so scary for me is the music. If you have your volume pretty high that's a big mistake, how the dramatic music starts is unexpectedly. First is a calm scene and then next scene is all glory and the dramatic music just pops up. Also they pick great actors and actress, especially the murder or psychopath one. How the actor plays Hannibal Lector was phenomenal. The character is a brilliant psychiatrist but also a violent psychopath, the way how he portray him scared me because it made me believe that's what a psycho like that would be like. Also it's a movie where it could happen or it is true. The movies that are based on a true movie are the ones that get me. I'm a bit afraid when it's about ghosts, or aliens, or zombies but if it's base a true story that makes my blood run cold. It could happen, a killer who skins girls to make new skin and a psychopath who is a cannibal. Also the graphic are pretty good and scary for a 1991 movie, compare to the graphics now. It looks so real that it makes my stomach uneasy and it terrifies me whenever someone is split open or anything that has to do with the body. All of those stuff makes the movie so scary for me, even now that movie still gives me the chills.
