Alfred Hitchcock, the incredible director who brilliantly integrated sex, humor and suspense into his films, died over thirty years ago. Despite the thirty years that have passed since his death, the legacy of the films he made continues. His work influenced many of today's great directors and inspired the founding of the spin-off television series Bates Motel. To best interpret the films he created, it is essential to understand the creator of the films and examine how his past life traumas and deep inner thoughts in reality emerged through the fictional worlds he created on the big screen. Hitchcock, consciously or unconsciously, represented his frustrations, fears and fantasies with the opposite sex through his major actors and films. This ultimately allows us to take a look at his past. Can we hypothesize what type of trauma triggers such actions? When Hitchcock was five years old, his father sent him to the local police station with a note, and after the police chief read the piece of paper, he locked the boy in a cell for five or ten minutes, declaring that he has finally returned for unlock that “this is what we do to bad boys” (Scott 5). The effect of this stunt was devastating. It's fair to assume that the director developed harmful anxiety from being locked in a police cell at the tender age of five. Imagine the frustration one might endure if they saw the world as a place where they don't belong. Maybe if Hitchcock were alive today, he could provide us with some answers, luckily he provides these answers through his films. Jeanne Allen, author of "The Representation of Violence to Women: Hitchcock's 'Frenzy,'" explains that, "Hitchcock...traces a lifetime of obsessions...in the middle of the page...he was aware of his darkest demons , have certainly emerged in characters like Marnie, Norman Bates and others. Perhaps Hitchcock was a prisoner in his own mind and, to face his inner demons, he alleviated them by doing what he did best, creating films. He couldn't scream with his own voice, so he uses the many voices he created himself. Despite his personal flaws, Hitchcock proved to be one of cinema's great masters and earned the title "King of Suspense." Through his seemingly endless amount of films, he has shown us that people are never exactly what they seem. If we want to honor him, it is better to remember him as the great director he was. While the debate continues as to whether or not the great director was disturbed, one thing is certain; Hitchcock was one of the most talented directors of all time.
