Kill Bill Psychology
The breakdown of the human being personality has always interested me, and the reason it has always interested is because this movie portrays many breakdowns of a person’s nature and self-being. This movie brings out a persons quench for blood, vengeance, and closure for the death of her daughter. I chose the movie Kill Bill because I'm intrigued by how a psychopath’s brain is developed and how it functions. While doing this project I learned more about things I commonly already knew about psychopathy disorder and new things that have been studied and tested. Being able to see how someone who chose to be a psychopath and someone who was forced to become a psychopath can share the same route fascinates me, the way these women can switch from …show more content…
She is diagnosed with psychopathy disorder because in the movie she is filled with revenge, anger, hurt, and resentfulness and she uses all of these emotions and inners it into what can satisfy that hole she has in her heart due to the death of her daughter; which is killing her enemies and anyone else who had anything to do with trying to kill her and who killed her daughter. As she approaches these people I notice how she’s very calm, she acts so casual that even knowing she’s about to kill someone she shows no remorse, no disgust or fear of the consequences. There’s one scene in the movie where the bride kills is having a blood fight with Vivica Fox and her daughter comes home from school, as soon as she walked in the house the two woman instantly went from attacking each other with knives, to “acting” nurturing and caring. I can compare this to real life situations because adults everyday battle demons and some worse than others, but no matter what when it comes to children, most more than others cant help but have a soft heart. This shows where the P.T.S.D comes in effect because the shock of loosing her own daughter and the bi-polar disorder from switching to one personality to

    Famous serial killers like Ed Gein and Ted Bundy have turned what we only believed to be true in movies and books, into a reality. Ed Gein, an American serial killer and body snatcher, took corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. After police found body parts in his house in 1957, Gein confessed to killing two women. Nearly 14 years later, Ted Bundy, another American serial killer, committed rape, kidnap, and necrophilia, killing numerous young women and girls during the 1970s. There have been more recent cases of such unspeakable violence such as last year’s Aurora shootings. Inside a Colorado movie theater, a gunman, dressed in tactical clothing, set off tear gas and shot into the audience with multiple firearms, killing 12 people and injuring 58 others. Just a month ago, moments after killing his own mother, a young man fatally shot 20 children and 6 adult staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in the town of Newtown, Connecticut. Psychopaths are people suffering from a chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior. Such people have devastating effects on our society, particularly through the most unimaginable crime. It is estimated that the prevalence of psychopathy is approximately 1% in the general population, but 15–25% in the USA adult prison population. Compared to prisoners without psychopathy, psychopathic prisoners have significantly higher rates of violent crime and recidivism (Koenigs, 2012). I can’t help but wonder what it is that acts as the driving force to lead someone to commit such unthinkable behavior. It’s important to understand the differences in psychopaths so we can begin to pinpoint the traits of a psychopath and make sense as to why such criminal behavior can be committed, most importantly psychopaths can teach us a lot about the nature of morality. “Inside the Mind of…

    Clarice Starling, portrayed by Jodie Foster, is seen as the main character. She begins a sort of friendship with Dr. Hannibal Lecter, portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, when she is assigned to question him on the Buffalo Bill murder case. The two have much in common because they are both ostracized by society and both are searching for peace. Dr. Lecter is imprisoned and shunned by society for committing acts of cannibalism. Clarice is shunned in her own society because she is a woman in the FBI. We see her strive for peace and acceptance in this predominantly male society. We also see her struggle to find peace with her past. There are two scenes in the film that best depict Clarice’s search for peace. (Ebert, 2001)…

    “Apocalypse Now" directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, takes the themes and basic story line of Joseph Conrad’s 1898 novel "Heart of Darkness" but changes the setting of the text, providing a Vietnam War interpretation of the classic story. Coppola's film portrays the confusion and insanity of the war through the eyes of Captain Benjamin Willard. Captain Willard is sent on a mission up the fictional Nung River into the remote Cambodian jungle to assassinate and “solve the issue” of a renegade and presumed insane Special Forces Colonel Walter Kurtz, who has organized his own private army from a local Montagnard tribe. The river in the film serves as an allegory for Willard and the boat crew moving steadily beyond civilization to the heart of darkness within them.…

    There are many theories about what shapes an individual’s personality and when following these approaches, sense can be made of a certain person’s behavior. Charles Manson is a well-known serial killer whose personality is reflective of two specific personality theorists’ views. Sigmund Freud, whose psychosexual stages of development could explain some of the traits held by Manson. Karen Horney was another theorist whose views on childhood love and nurturing, or lack of it, could explain Charles Manson’s personality. Gathered information on both Freud and Horney’s views will be compared to Charles Manson, his personality and his behaviors to conclude if these theories apply.
