It was already a successful director with the Indiana Jones is not sure will be able to make this story and offers on Roman Polanski, but Polanskideclined because it is very sensitive, because his mother died in concentration camps during the war. (Roman Polanski seemedfilled with tragic death, her mother died in concentration camps,while his pregnant wife into a murder victim who masterminded bythe most popular serial killer Charles Manson) Finally, after seeing the massacre in Bosnia in the news, Spielberg mengambila over the project itself.

The behind story ...
This film is complicated (there is a direct understand the story of time watching the first Matrix?), Not only action but containssub-culture of hackers and brings a deep philosophical idea. The second movie is more inviting admiration, unfortunately the thirdmovie release six months after the second film is considered less powerful and has a confusing ending. Even so this film is shocking,bullet-time scenes that have even been replicated dozens of times.
In fact some actors are never asked to play Neo, but refused: EwanMeGregor, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Will Smith. Especially for WillSmith, he regretted refused. But the Wachowski actually likeJohnny Depp, an option opposed by Warner Bros. executives whowant Brad Pitt or Val Kilmer as it is considered as the more sold.Brad Pitt refused. The choice fell on Johnny Depp and KeanuReeves. Keanu managed to lure studios and finally selected.

Story like this ...
If a child lives with her mother was normal, but if the child is already over 30 years and named Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is mentally ill then it's a classic. This is a very impressive project for Alfred Hitchcock who are already successful in the 1950s with Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, and To Catch a Thief. Next is a series of classic scenes, the most terrifying shower scene of all time when Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) was murdered in a motel owned by Norman Bates, Psycho man who still keeps his mother's corpse.
With Psycho, Alfred exceed the usual horror film by using symbolism. Bird ornaments used as a metaphor of death as well as psychoanalysis thriller, three-story motel Norman Bates in representing the three levels of psychoanalysis, the first floor is where the superego (the corpse) Norman's mother lived, the second floor is the ego Norman where he looks normal and the ground floor is the id. In addition a unique story, introducing a sympathetic protagonist and be killed, making the audience more curious.
Psycho is considered as an opening act in another film opportunity for increasingly seems so cruel.
The behind story ...
At that time, Alfred found a horror novel by Robert Bloch was filmed with purchase rights for as much as $ 9000 and it was difficult to find sponsors for the film. Alfred finally produced the film with his own money and using his own television series crew, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. As for the films he chose the medium format black and white so as not to look too sadistic and they cost less as well as the classics.
As a director Alfred Hitchcock considered unique because it considers the actors as cattle, like the woman with blond hair and happy to be a cameo in the movie itself and the fear of the police and eggs.
In fact the most memorable scene from this movie is definitely the murder scene in the bathroom. This highly detailed scenes created by the master of suspense, filming scenes for 45 seconds were up to four weeks with a 70 angle shooting, even the actress Janet Leigh's shower itself to fear. Violin sounds creepy soundtrack that emerged from the composer Bernard Herrmann. The blood in that scene is actually chocolate sauce and sound effects knives knife stab stabbing is melon. Another scene that is not less horrendous for that era is to highlight the toilets are doused.

The behind story ...
The film is poor this dialog using music as a medium, such as the works of Johann Strauss II, An Der Schonen Blauen Donau, in scenes of outer space and landing on the moon and a very memorable opening scene to the accompaniment of the composition of Richard Strauss, Also Sprach Zarathustra is a symbol of this film . Another distinctive feature is 45 minutes of the film is no dialogue at all, just music, sound effects and images.Even if there was dialogue then the dialogue is flat and lifeless.From this transcendental perspective, the focus of the plot looks a bit excessive, even dialogue and conflict swallowed by a change in evolution, a film that tells a big change in human civilization.
In fact, fans of this film are many who do their own interpretation on the intent and purpose of these movies because many are confused, but Kubrick himself has always refused to give a definitive answer on this by arguing that he intentionally made the film that will raise many questions.
The scene of the sun and moon are aligned in the film is a symbol of Zoroastrianism, an ancient Persian religion BC. This symbol represents the struggle between good and evil. Incidentally all the music being played is "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (Thus Spake Zarathrusta), by Richard Strauss, which is based on a book by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who famously said "God is dead".Many of them think this is not a coincidence, since it seems this is what Kubrick wanted waklau global interpretation of the film will vary.

If Taxi Driver Scorsese and De Niro made a synonym for the word "quality" then they are as successful in translating the spirit of age at the time that the celluloid.
Scorsese takes a lot of risks with this film, namely the use of black and white film in an age where the film was in color.

There is also a story that has depth and complexity that makes it compelling to watch at any time. If this is the action film depth story would disappear and turn into ordinary entertainment, drama and dialogue instead of there being a strength of this film.
