The most realistic psychopath in the film - Anton Chigur from the movie "Old Men" Bashny.Net

And Hannibal Lecter, in the opinion of psychiatrists, in the real world nevozmozhen

There are a lot of movies about psychopaths, but some of them are too unrealistic. As soon as the increased our knowledge of psychology and personality changing psychopaths on television, but any of them could exist in reality, and what - no more than the Hollywood crap? This question has decided to answer forensic psychiatrist Samuel Leystedt.

Together with a group of ten colleagues Leystedt three years looked 400 films, analyzing the behavior of psychopaths who are not tormented by remorse and did not show any sympathy for the victims. As a result, the team identified 126 villains: 105 men and 21 women, whose scientists were divided into subtypes.



For example, Michael Corleone from the movie "The Godfather" is recognized as "secondary" - the macho psychopath was formed by their surroundings and intimidated men to do his bidding. Gordon Gekko of "Wall Street" - a successful (or corporate) psychopath who manipulated unhappy with the purpose of personal gain. Annie Wilkes in "Misery" - psevdopsihopatka: this means that in fact it is a sociopath whose antisocial behavior is expressed in the binding of the victim and breaching her very bad things.



The most realistic psychopath was eventually recognized as the killer Anton Chigur from the movie "Old Men" - a ruthless killer who does not feel absolutely no remorse for the death of their victims. He is very strong-willed, knows no empathy and emotions like love and shame. Other very realistic psychopaths recognized Hans Beckert from the movie "M" and Henry from the film "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer».



But Norman Bates in "Psycho" is not really a psychopath, a madman - a man who has lost touch with reality. Leystedt also said that Hannibal Lecter is absolutely unreal - much less the majority of psychopaths are smart and do not possess such a delicate taste (do not get me wrong), and tranquility.



It is a pity that no one has yet conducted a study on how many movies actually removed psychopaths.
