Both films, Psycho and Peeping Tom as well contain similar elements which can lead us to identify similar features in both films, such as the importance of psychoanalyses in films, the unconscious and its desires, voyeurism and so on. We could also see that in many situations madness is caused by the repression of the unconscious. Thus, in both films, the protagonists deal with their repressed desires in different ways, one is aiming to be someone more powerful and authoritative, however it gets overwhelmed by it (Norman Bates) and the other is pursuing pleasure and happiness by filming the murder of women, which was the causatum of an obsessive father (Mark). Both protagonists are characterized with split personalities. From the outside, the viewers might think that they are very humble and incapable of evil deeds however their inside leads them into incomprehensible actions. Finally, we can conclude that the male madness is one of several representational modes of cinematographic genres, it reaches the most inner parts of the viewers and it reveals the hidden madness in each and one of us.
