#movie psychopaths

Officer Pete Davis is just dreamy, but then psychopaths often are.

Ray Liotta's Officer Pete in Unlawful Entry (1992) is very well-written. He wants to take Karen (Madeleine Stowe) away from Michael (Kurt Russell) and he is in fact impotent without that sense of victory over someone he's insecure about. He infantilises and emasculates Michael having first become a trusted friend which makes it that much more difficult for Michael to resist being identified in that humiliating way. Michael manages to listen to his instinct that something is wrong and Pete begins to torment Michael into anti-social behaviour while being charming and unobjectionable. He can always claim his intentions were friendly when he crosses boundaries and often he can even defend his actions with a reminder that Michael had actually said that he wanted this or that thing to happen - in each case, Michael had quite obviously just been speaking casually.

Michael is onto him first and Karen thinks he’s overreacting - people are usually quicker at spotting dodgy behaviour in members of their own sex, perhaps because of background intrasexual competition that underlies nearly all social interactions - but he is eventually able to get her to see it. Any woman who Pete fails to seduce is devalued as a whore and discarded. Karen ends up having to play along with his delusion in order to avoid being killed.

Unlawful Entry came out the same year as The Hand that Rocks the Cradle which features a female psychopath employing similar tactics and who is just as deadly.

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

I keep seeing people complain that William Afton doesn't have a motive in the FNAF movie but, as someone who watch true crime and is interested in the psychology of criminals, serial killers don't often have one in the sense y'all want. Yes, in stories, you are used to have a detailed motive, but motives for serial killings are often simply "feeling powerful", especially when the victims are children. Killers target children because it's easier and they can have a better control of the situation. Does it comes from deep issues and trauma? Yes, but the murderers don't always care or know. And it's a psychologist that will have to find that, serial killers often just spill that "it felt good".

It's simply about having power over others.

One of the reasons why I truly think Andre is a psychopath, is his attitude on zero day.

Cal was pissed. Yeah, he laughed a couple times, but it was only like, two? Back to the point, we see Cal killing. We see how Cal doesn't make fun of the people he kills, how he wants to go as fast as he can. How he isn't scared of killing himself. Of course he has a lack of empathy, but he wasn't afraid of putting a bullet right through his skull, in fact, zero day was a suicide mission for him. Something he had to do before doing what he really wanted. "I'm going to make my mark, and then, it'll to be my time to die"

Andre didn't want to kill himself. Andre was scared to fucking pull the trigger. The same andre that was scared to end his whole life, was the same dude who moments before, was shooting random kids at his highschool. He was enjoying it. He was making fun of them, messing with them, making fun of how they fell or how they reacted. He was enjoying killing all of them, enjoying how people were suffering because of HIS bullets. Cal having to take him out of his sadistic mind trance when he was teasing the kid who called the police. Calling himself a god, liking when people showed him how scared they were of him.

He enjoyed the idea of killing random kids at his highschool, but when he realised he had to kill himself, suddenly, nothing was that funny anymore. He didn't want to, he was scared.

My point is, Cal didn't care about killing students and he wanted to end it all.

Andre was enjoying killing students a little bit too much, but when it came to him, he suddenly didn't want to anymore. He wanted to cause pain. Not receive pain.

(One of my other reasons is the "military procedure" they had to finally commit zero day. Andre being super calculating and pissy when something didn't come out his way. But that rant is for another day)

Shockwave: Will a good movie decrease your whinning and increase your productivity?

KO: Mayby...

Excerpts from the Charles Leclerc biography "le prodige" by Rémi Boudoul:

Charles never cried during a movie.

He prefers a bigger seat because he likes to move a bit while racing because that's how he "feels" the track.

Charles is scared of spiders and snakes. 🕷🐍

Charles said he would love to try MotoGP but he doesn't know if Ferrari would allow him. But if he had to choose, he would like to try a Rallye car one day.

Joris (Charles's best friend):

"Money, glory, love, nothing has changed Charles. He is still the same as before. I met Charles in 6th grade, we were almost enemies, because we both fell in love with same girl until we figured out that neither of us will end up with her."

"On Sundays we usually receive a text shortly after the race. Charles talks with us about the strategy, what happened and so on. As soon as he is in Monaco he calls us and we have a dinner. Quite often pasta or pizza. Charles is always available for his true friends."

Charles:

"One day when I was karting, Michael Schumacher was doing some F1 test. It was a really special moment. I remember entering the paddock and we had the chance to meet him, it was very exciting. Fortunately there was not a lot of people, so he took some time to talk to us."

"He [Schumacher] signed our suits, talked with us before going back to his garage. It was really sweet and I was very impressed. I don’t even remember what we were talking about because all I could focus on was his red suit. I never thought I would one day drive for the red team."

"My first memory of Maranello was with Jules. He had a photoshoot and he tried to make me come inside with him but it didn’t work, so I had to wait outside. But it was then when I realized that the whole town was dedicated to Ferrari."

"I sat outside, in the parking lot for two hours, trying to imagine what the inside of the building looked like. In my head I was picturing something like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the Oompa Loompas running around."

"On my father's funeral day, I had the authorization to drive the hearse… We drove a bit in the town before going to the cemetery. It was tough you know. No matter what you do, nothing prepares you when you lose your father. I’ve become more mature because losing him made me have more responsibilities out of the blue, making me grow as a man. Mentally I’m stronger than ever after losing my father so early in my life. This changes you forever."

Did I need psychological help back then? No, I stayed alone in a corner. I rather wanted to think by myself and prepare the race. I never thought of not driving in Baku. My dad was my number one fan. He wanted me to be good at each race, so no there was never a doubt because I was sure he would have wanted me to be there and to win for him.

"Do I love winning or do I hate losing? Well both but I guess I hate losing more because when something goes wrong, I’m really upset."

Pascale (Charles's mother):

"Charles on track and at home are two different people. With his father, he was always talking about cars. Racing was Herve’s life. He has that in his blood. Charles was lucky, he received a lot from his father."
