10 The Bates Motel and The Birds

Chapter 9 The Bates Motel and The Birds One of the most famous scenes in movie history comes a third of the way through Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). It forever changed the way horror movies were made. By the time the knifing scene in a shower stall was over, the lead character in the film was dead, and audiences were left to puzzle over the strange, nervous young man who seemed devoted to his mother. The Bates Motel and its shy caretaker, Norman Bates, made movie history.

在阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克的电影《惊魂记》（1960）的开头，出现了电影史上最著名的一幕。 它永远地改变了恐怖电影的制作方式。 在淋浴间里用刀砍人的场景结束时，电影中的主角已经死了，观众们对这个奇怪、紧张的年轻人感到困惑，他似乎对母亲很忠诚。 贝茨汽车旅馆和它害羞的管理员诺曼·贝茨创造了电影史。

Hitch had warned reviewers not to reveal Norman Bates's terrible secrets. Theater owners who showed Psycho received stern instructions to not let anyone in after the movie had started. Posters showed Hitchcock himself pointing to his watch and warning, "It is required that you see Psycho from the very beginning!" Although the movie was quite shocking, it became the most successful Hitchcock movie ever. Psycho was made using a crew from the television show Alfred Hitchcock Presents for $800,000. Today, the film has earned over fifty million dollars.

希契曾警告评论家不要泄露诺曼·贝茨的可怕秘密。 放映《惊魂记》的影院老板收到了严厉的指示，在电影开始后不得让任何人进入。 在海报上，希区柯克指着自己的手表警告说：“你必须从一开始就看《惊魂记》！”虽然这部电影相当令人震惊，但它成为希区柯克有史以来最成功的电影。 《惊魂记》的制作团队来自电视剧《阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克呈现》，制作费为10万美元。 今天，这部电影已经赚了5000多万美元。

The director used live birds as well as bird models, and the eerie calls and cackles of birds on the soundtrack. He had to master trick photography for many of the key scenes.

Ray Berwick was the man in charge of the birds in the movie. Hitchcock had at first hoped to use more mechanical birds, but they didn't look real enough. So Berwick brought in over three hundred live ones, mostly seagulls. Once on set, some birds were trained to land on the shoulders of actors, but sometimes the actors had to be smeared with meat and anchovies to attract them. The movie posters quoted Hitchcock as saying, "This could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made." The filming of The

雷·贝里克是电影中负责鸟的人。 希区柯克最初希望使用更多的机械鸟，但它们看起来不够真实。 因此，贝里克带来了300多只活的海鸥，其中大部分是海鸥。 在拍摄现场，一些鸟被训练降落在演员的肩膀上，但有时为了吸引它们，演员们不得不在身上涂上肉和凤尾鱼。 电影海报引用希区柯克的话说：“这可能是我拍过的最恐怖的电影。” The
