Lets do your Psychology Assignment
Hollywood takes creative license in portraying psychopathy, often with confusing results. In the movie Seven, the killer, played by Kevin Spacey, is portrayed as a psychopath who is also motivated for religious reasons. John Goodman’s character, in 10 Cloverfield Lane, is portrayed as person who is evil, mentally ill, and psychopathic, leaving the viewer to sort out his personality and mental state. Indeed, Hannibal Lecter (portrayed by Anthony Hopkins), in Silence of the Lambs, is portrayed as a cunning, sadistic psychopath, yet he enjoys “fava beans.” The core of psychopathy is control over others. The core of mental illness lies in depression, suicidal ideations, incoherent thought processes, and hallucinations, to name but a few.
