Alfred Hitchcock, the incredible director who brilliantly integrated sex, humor and suspense into his films, died more than three decades ago. Despite the thirty years since his death, the legacy of the films he made continues. His work has influenced many of today's great directors and inspired the founding of the spinoff television series Bates Motel. To better interpret the films he created, it is essential to understand their creator and examine how his past life traumas and deep inner thoughts actually translated through the fictional worlds he created on grand screen. Hitchcock, consciously or unconsciously, portrayed his frustrations, fears, and fantasies with the opposite sex through his leading actors and films. This finally allows us to take a look at his past. One might ask, 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 young boy in a cell for five to ten minutes, stating as he came back to unlock that “this is what we do to naughty boys” (Scott 5). The effect of this event changed my life. It's fair to assume that the director developed damaging anxiety after being locked in a police cell at the age of five. Imagine the frustration one might endure if they saw the world as a place they don't belong. Perhaps if Hitchcock were alive today he could provide us with some answers, but fortunately he provides some of these unanswered questions through his films.
