FIVE FAMOUS BATHROOM SCENES FROM MOVIE HISTORY
The history of cinema is full of unforgettable scenes in the bathroom that have been recorded in our retina. The list of wet sequences is so extensive that it has practically given rise to a new subgenre of cinema in which the actors, in addition to bathing, reflect, sing, scream, cry, bleed, and, in the worst of cases, , die. What is clear is that each viewer has the favorite moments of him. In this post, we have selected five famous bathroom scenes in the movies. Do you miss any?
1. 'Psycho'
Who hasn't felt insecure at some point in the shower after watching the peak scene of 'Psycho'? We all know this scene in the bathroom of Alfred Hitchcock's classic: while Marion Crane's character (Janet Leigh) is taking a shower in a Bates motel room, she is killed by Bates himself in a fit of bipolarity in which she assumes the personality of his mother. Without a doubt, it is the image of the bathroom in the cinema par excellence, the most versioned and visualized scene in the history of cinema. Is this moment in the bathroom for so much? Watch this scene from 'Psycho' again and judge for yourself.
2. 'Pretty Woman'
It is probably one of the most remembered – and imitated – bathroom scenes in the history of cinema. The one in which the protagonist of 'Pretty Woman', Vivian (Julia Roberts), enjoys a foamy bath, while she sings the song 'Kiss' by Prince at the top of her lungs. All this, under the amused gaze of Edward (Richard Gere).
3. 'In search of happiness'
Totally the opposite of the previous film, we find this emotional scene in the bathroom of the movie 'The Pursuit of Happyness', starring Chris Gardner (Will Smith) and his five-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith). In the scene, father and son take refuge in the bathroom of the subway, where Chris encourages his son to travel back in time and dream of a place of harmless and playful dinosaurs, as a way to escape from a reality of material poverty and lack of resources. of solidarity.
4. Saw
Obviously, one of the strongest bathroom scenes in the 'Saw' saga could not be missing from our ranking: the moment when Lawrence, moved by desperation, must make a decision to escape. And it's not exactly easy... It all takes place in an underground, dirty and disused industrial bathroom, in which the protagonists are chained to the pipes and must make a sacrifice to escape.
5. 'The black swan'
And the number 5 position is for 'Black Swan'; the psychological thriller in which Natalie Portman tests her own limits. Through a wide shot in this bathroom scene, we see a distraught and despondent Nina (Natalie Portman) trying to meet the almost grotesque demands of her renowned stage manager Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel).
These are some of the samples of how important bathrooms are in the cinema. And a space where we always tell you that many things happen... and the truth is that not only in the cinema, but also in real life. Yes! The bathroom is full of all kinds of situations... Think about it! In your bathroom… things happen!
