That tranny character made me a little depressed. It reminded me of the scene in Aliens resurrection where the Ripley clone discovers all the deformed failures and destroys them.
I'm on this journey to integrate with my anima and most probably it will f*ck up and I'll end up a malformed creature that should be destroyed. The Ripley clone has the benefits of the shadow, the alien DNA while being beautiful on the outside and functioning well with others. The other failed clones have it back to front. They have alien parts visible on the outside and not have the benefits on the inside. That tranny character has all the shadow anima poking out on the outside not well integrated inside. Being reminded that I might end up looking like a failed tranny clone that needs a mommy is depressing. If I ever end up like that and oblivious to it, someone should come and destroy me.

Hannibal In silence of the lambs was legendary. I really like Brad Pitt as Early in Kalifornia I’m surprised you included that one not many people I talk to have ever seen it. To me that’s a pretty realistic representation of a psychopath, scaled up for the big sceen alittle bit but not to overly done.

if i am honest first i thought i have no idea what he just said but then i google about anima and animus and shadows and i really like it.i didn't know about it.
i saw other articles too but i will just post one

(lol with the copy i just notice the url is lonerwolf and above user is solo wolf pack)

this makes me think for some reason, if you are a writter or reading a book and a woman gets too codependent to the extreme and not realistically for example it might cross the line from sympathetic or relatable to be completely unappealing. except if the reader is a male narcissist i guess lol.

to add but i guess the extreme codependency in a positive view can turn up as black comedy in a fictional story/funny

and dark comedy becomes appealing again.but things that are stepping the line are difficult to do succesfully without crossing it. xD

As I mentioned in another thread, I think Norman Bates in Psycho is really just a stellar character and one of the only good depictions I've seen in a movie that intentionally portrays it's character as a psychopath overtly. Obviously Norman Bates is not just psychopathic but also psychotic, but the slow realization of his true character and his deception are really intriguing to me, especially in such an old movie.

His character was based on Ed Gein, a serial killer who was obsessed with his mother, especially after she died. He was an odd character with definite mental health issues. I'm not so sure psychopathy was one of them.

I don't think the character of Norman Bates was a psychopath either. Just a very disturbed individual. Likely more schizophrenic than psychopathic.

Before reaper of someone else says anything, yes I’m aware I’m playing fast and loose with the definition, most of these will be paranoids or comorbidities there of. They just tickled my fancy.

I remember watching that for school. I had no idea what I watched at the time but for some reason that was character I remember. I remember sitting at the cremation grounds in Varanasi, fkd off my face tripping out with this crazy naked baba with one eye. I observed half burnt fingers around me. There was this dead rat that this stray dog was licking. I saw a small rabid puppy knodding off, it's head bouncing up and down. The sun was setting and the smoke thick. The baba looked and me and smiled. It was perfect. The horror. I sometimes wonder if my own psychological journey up my own anus is a journey into insanity. I wonder if I will come out the other side a well functioning complete human or someone like Kurtz who is waiting for his successor to kill him.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Chad from In the Company of Men (1997), that film's a masterpiece but these days no-one really talks about it. If it came out tomorrow people would not be pleased!

Also pretty much everyone from Crash (1996), the David Cronenburg one, not the awful one from 2004.
