Psychiatrists Deem NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN's Anton Chigurh "Most Realistic Film Psychopath"

Rant Movie Javier Bardem No Country For Old Men Psychopath about 8 years agoby Mick Joest

When we think psychos in film we think of Norman Bates, Hannibal Lector, or my personal favorite, Patrick Bateman.

While entertaining and intriguing, expert psychiatrists say these representations are not the most accurate when it comes to real life psychopaths. Tech Crunch reports a team of experts analyzed over 400 films, and out of the films selected Anton Chigurh of No Country For Old Men as the film world's most realistic psychopath.

Their reasoning?

"He seems to be effectively invulnerable and resistant to any form of emotion or humanity,"

I gotta say Javier Bardem was definitely the high point of that movie, and while I would be terrified to be around any movie psychopath, I wouldn't want to meet a guy like Anton in real life!
