Hi! Joel,
This is an interesting post...I always suspected that Psycho was much deeper than...Stolen Money, a shower scene, a knife, and a cellar with a man emerging dressed as his mother.

Joel said,"Dalí referred to this as the "phenomenology of repugnance." Yes, it's a mouthful and if you say it out loud, you'll sound like a Harley-Davidson with a fouled spark plug. Try it!
LOL!!!...

Joel said,"Still, it's a key to understanding the painting, along with Psycho.
So, next time you see a horror movie and your friends yell at the heroine not to go down to the basement, simply tell them that her behavior is quite normal. Tell them that she's simply acting on Dalí's principal of the phenomenology of repugnance."

Yes, I agree with you, wholeheartedly, after reading your post.

..."For more details about Hitch's connection to surrealism, take a look at my post from May 24, 2007 -- updated with new pictures!"
I will do!

Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D

I hope you'll allow me to gush for a moment.

I recently got an Alfred Hitchcock box set for a birthday present, and I think you'll appreciate this, it's probably one of the best gifts I have ever received. Fortuitous timing then to have stumbled upon your site, and then to have my viewing experience tempered by all this additional knowledge, so precisely laid at my fingertips? Thank you, sir.

I'll stop waxing lyrical now, it remains only for me to say, bravo and please keep up the good work.
