What's especially heartbreaking in this scene is Dylan's reaction to Mother saying she can only be a Mother to one person. Dylan always felt Norma chose Norman over him, never quite felt fully loved by her. To see the look on his face as Mother reopened those old wounds was complete pathos.
@@antonioleyba6522 No, it started off as a prequel. But in season 5 they decided to go through the events of Psycho and rewrote the story (hence why Norman kills Sam Loomis in the shower instead of Marion Crane)
@@Dominic-Decoco I get what you mean but it’s a tv show they would never have done the tv show exactly like the movie as they needed seasons to do it and it was always meant to reboot the series even if it started off before he killed Norma
@@antonioleyba6522 The point is that the show was originally pitched as a prequel, therefore it is a prequel on paper. It also did not go through the events of Psycho until the back half of the final season. 4/5 seasons were a prequel, so calling the entire series a reboot rather than a prequel isn’t very accurate. If the show was one season shorter you would have any basis to call it a reboot. If it makes you feel any better you can technically call it a prequel/reboot, but it was a prequel first.
Freddie Highmore has this great talent as an actor. He can be doing something that could morally and socially be considered bad, and still find a way to make the audience feel bad for him, and never anger or hate.
Dylan knew that Norman sometimes thought he was their mother because he had seen it happen before. This, however, was a completely different scenario from the one where he was just making breakfast and i think Dylan just finally understood how bad things had gotten for his brother.
As someone who deals with others who have mental illness, I can say from experience it's always hard to hit it head on. People like this have a hard time, if not an impossible time, accepting that their delusions aren't reality. Even when these delusions seem completely off the wall. It's heartbreaking, but it's true... Looks like Norman suffers from split personality disorder, where his other personality is a more demonic version of his mother (less the good parts of her, all the bad parts of her and Norman pieced together). Also, seeing the look on Norman's face - the tears in his eyes - showing how he understands he did wrong and his sanity is fighting to come out while his inner "mother" is fighting with him also. He demonized her the day she started covering up murders, which she solidified the day she killed that man in the hotel. It's a sad series of events...
The "Mother" personality was formed much earlier than that. Showrunners Kerry Ehrin and Carlton Cuse explained it in a interview. There is a scene in season 4 where we see Norman as a kid hiding under the bed, holding her hand as she gets sexually abused by his father. The personality was formed in that moment when the emotional reality of wanting to help his mother but not having the ability to do so caused his mind to snap. If the "Mother" personality didn't manifest, his mind would have been like what we see in the series finale. That's the sad thing, it's his love for his mother that formed it (along with her overbearing nature, crossing boundaries).
I feel so bad for Norman honestly. Its very clear he has sever DID, and seeing him switch so violently and quickly.. I wish he had gotten the help he deserved, they all deserved better "Let Me live how I need to live"
Maybe because in his eyes both her mother persona and himself had a harder time to kill Dylan that anyone else. Although I would say this is an unexplained plothole.
These directors definitely knew what really goes inside a mentally psychotic heads. 😰 I give credit to all the actors, they did an extraordinary and exceptional job portraying these characters.🥰💓🙌
If Norman was just sitting there watching mother talk to Dylan, then eventually comes in and stops her, does that mean he could’ve intervened with Bradley? There are so many times when I get so confused on who’s who and what’s what.
I always guessed it was because of Dylan’s connection to Norman. Like maybe Norman was able to intervene in this case because his relationship to Dylan was deeper than the others? Idk though.
it was Norman's split psyche...Mother would take over but he was conflicted and embattled bc he loved Dylan so much it overrode the 'mother' part of him
It was in this scene that for the first time I felt sorry for Norman, it was then that we realized that everything he was doing was not his fault, but rather the mental illness he had. Poor Norman. 😔💔
Norman needed to be put down… I don’t see it any other way how Norman would live better from this. Like a rabid dog, he needed to go down not by his own Will.
It’s not difficult, it’s just males are trained to believe at a young age that they’re not allowed to show emotions. So it makes it hard for them to as adults. Without the conditioning, it’d be just as easy as the average person.
Hey Sarah, I live in Southamerica and Motel Bates is not on Netflix anymore. Please may I know if the serie continue in the country that you live? Thanks :)
@@sfinn85 thanks for your answer.. I was trying to know if Motel Bates is still on Netflix in your place. I know It ended few years ago 🥺.. thanks !!! ☺️
OK wait a min who is doing what now i understand that he is living as norman and norma but who is doing the killing is it when he becomes norma he kills or is it just norman
he didnt need that doctor. i think his mother actually DID visit him from time to time as a ghost. maybe she possessed him. he needed a PRIEST lol not a psychologist
Ok Freddie Highmore is talented, but I’m honestly not a fan of him in this role. He doesn’t have the same creepiness as Anthony Perkins in the original. Freddie just reminds me Sean in the hood doctor tbh

She DID choose Norman over Dylan.
yeah but the baby of the family is always loved more
@@SH-to8sh not always, I was the neglected one and my brothers favored over me as the girl, it's very cruel and unfair when parents favor children
The look on Dylan's face when Norman switched over
He's so scared and sad for his little brother😭😭😔 5:32
I know, right?
He was like, what the fuck is going on???
Dylan had so many WTF moments on this show 😂
I love that the series spilled over into a reboot of Psycho. The show was so good.
It was always a reboot of psycho I’m so lost as to why you said spilled over into a reboot it was one from the beginning

Not only is Freddie Highmore’s acting in this scene award worthy but he also wrote the episode.
".....you see, the problem is Dylan is that he was not a very nice man."
omg that dialogue is incredible by Freddie Highmore! He IS Norman!
Man i felt so bad for Dylan. Dude just wanted to be with his mother and his little brother and have a normal life at all
Dylan was the only normal one in the family.
Freddie Highmore has this great talent as an actor. He can be doing something that could morally and socially be considered bad, and still find a way to make the audience feel bad for him, and never anger or hate.
I like how Dylan talks to him calm like a teacher
Having to witness your sibling's personality change and then act like your mum, that's terrifying and tragic !
dylan was the only sane one
I agree
Created the worst way
@@007Fusiion I know Norma's brother sexuality assaulted her
Ikr... how is the inbred the "normal" one😂
jax l why shouldnt he be normal he is still a Person

This fucking scene. You can literally see the moment when Mother takes over. Freddie's acting is top tier.

It’s disassociative personality disorder as he has one persona (Norma) rather than multiple personalities.
how he was able to switch that fast into his mother was just amazing
I feel so bad for Norman honestly. Its very clear he has sever DID, and seeing him switch so violently and quickly.. I wish he had gotten the help he deserved, they all deserved better
"Let Me live how I need to live"
I know it’s so sad, he should’ve stayed longer at Pineview
The end scene of the show... I loved it... It made me happy or sad don't know
I hated it. No room for another one, like Alex. They didn't show a scene like this when he died.
I find this to be one of the best series finales.
Man i replay it everyday 😩😩😩😭😭
I know this sounds so bad but I was screaming laughing when Norman was rolling around on the table
Maybe because in his eyes both her mother persona and himself had a harder time to kill Dylan that anyone else. Although I would say this is an unexplained plothole.
HAHAHA😂 agree
Love Norman Bates its awesome new to old

Dylan Is My Bates Motel Crush ❤❤
The most underrated moment in the show

That was a good scene
It's so sad to see what grief can do to a person.
Oooff, I love this scene👌👌👌
me toooo!!!
Dylan was the only sane one and he was Inbred... that's how twisted the show was!
Amazing scene!
Switch happens at 5:18
If he takes the medicine he won’t be able to see his mom anymore tho right ?
correct, meds would stop his hallucinating and disassociating
The real travesty is Norman cutting his salad with a knife and fork
Very good acted scene, especially where the mother comes in💯
6:47 Dylan : is my brother have a seaure and a mental break down
OMG I love ❤️ this show. I think 💭 they did a good job. Great acting I really like Vera Farmegga I hope 🤞 I didn’t butcher your name to bad.
Jill Arbogast Farmiga
Oooo girl you butchered it baaaaddd
Kenzie Crafts AHAHA
Loved Dylan😪
It was in this scene that for the first time I felt sorry for Norman, it was then that we realized that everything he was doing was not his fault, but rather the mental illness he had. Poor Norman. 😔💔
Norman sweetie. This is not all your fault. Poor darling xx
This show had so many awesome scenes. Watchmojo should do a Top 10 episode.
6:47 Fight Club moment :D
Great episode 😊
Normans garlic bread always looks so good
Norman needed to be put down…
I don’t see it any other way how Norman would live better from this. Like a rabid dog, he needed to go down not by his own Will.
What a horrible comment about Norman
@@AnnetteMurphyger I think you have problems.
@@AnnetteMurphygerit's truth
I regret reading this comment, especially since it wasn't his fault.
I like this show
Full movie?
It's a show it's called Bates motel. It's on Netflix and it's based of a 1960s movie called psycho. 🙂
MD Solaiman it’s a TV show called Bates Motel
MD Solaiman Netflix
It's really difficult for a male to cry like that, regardless of how emotional.
Is Freddie really crying in this scene? Or are they fake ?
He's a terrific actor, that's all
It’s not difficult, it’s just males are trained to believe at a young age that they’re not allowed to show emotions. So it makes it hard for them to as adults. Without the conditioning, it’d be just as easy as the average person.
It's unreal
Is it a series or a movie?
TV series. All episodes are on Netflix
