Intertextuality is when films "borrow" ideas from each other.
The shower scene in Psycho is a prime example for this because of the famous shower scene. A few clips that we watched today from the films 'What Lies Beneath', 'The Stepfather' and 'Fatal Attraction' showed intertextuality because they used a lot of the same elements from that scene. I also noticed links from one film to the other not just from Psycho. The main things that I picked out were the knife used, the shower curtain, the bath and the bath robe worn by one of the characters in each clip.
These shots are from clips showing intertextuality that we watched in class from the films; What Lies Beneath, The Stepfather and Fatal Attraction. They have all taken ideas from Psycho which I have also included shots of (black and white images).
These shots show intertextuality because of the knife and the stance.
