She was terrifying in that movie, the actress played her brilliantly. Thanks for this insight
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Amy also exhibited strong traits of borderline personality, however I think narcissism and psychopathy can be a part of that
It can be yes, but can also depend on which kind of borderline
Rosamund Pike was brilliant in that movie, she was so chilling. Thank you for your analysis
Thank you I’m glad you liked the video, and you’re right she was great in the movie
not all narcissists are psychopaths
but all psychopaths are narcissists.
right doctor?
I’d say that would be right
I think amy is obviously a sociopath, her motives are very emotionals, and i have watched psychopaths on screen and she is so not like that
What other way could she take her husband being unfaithful if not personally, though?
Keep these videos coming !
Thanks you I will 👍
my wife is a narcissist and i can't figure out if she is a psychopath or a sociopath or both. She is the vulnerable covert type. Not exactly charismatic but her allure s a very quiet demeanour, giving the illusion of mystery, and intelligence. She also appears sexually available and has the air if being single. Many people fantasise about having a fling, but she has absolutely no qualms, guilt or anxiety about doing it. Later denying everything.
Quite often narcissism can be an aspect of something else going on
you doomed bro like that guy in gone girl o_o
@@dandyjandon4231 I wonder how he is doing now ...
Is bro still alive 😨
I always thought sociopath is more of a schemer, and they are 'made' instead of 'born'. So I'd think Amy is sociopath with high narcissism also because of her parents and how she was raised, hence 'made'. But Dr. it seems to me what you mentioned about the difference between psychopath and sociopath is the 'impulse'. Because Amy is very calculating so that makes her more of a psychopath? Ugh it's still very confusing between the two for me...
It can be difficult, but I’ve been asked to make a video on the differences between the two. Hopefully I’ll get it uploaded soon, hope that helps
Okay but desi wasn't a saint either, he scares me more than amy, he was such a creep
Yes, he is that creepy guy we all know.
Loved the movie Gone Girl and watched it in theater and just rented it. Brillant analysis, thanks!
Good analysis of a compelling villain
Thank
You I’m glad you liked it 👍
Great movie
Great analysis of a great movie
I'd love to hear your thoughts on David Brent
Thank you for your suggestion
Great choice!
I love The Office David Brent is a brilliant choice to analyse
loved this video
What about Nick?
Good question. Maybe I’ll talk about him in a future video
He was boring asf
Yes, he is awful, he and Desi are both horrible. They make you low-key root for Amy, even though she is evil.
I'm shocked at the parallels I see with Amber Herd and Johnny Depp. Everything Amber has done to Johnny from countless lies and fake harm to physical violence is what Amy Dunne has done, even in some of the words and gestures Amber uses and she carries on threatening to destroy him. She was also diagnosed with bipolar personality disorder and hystrionic Nazism. That's incredible!
As Amber is an actress I'm wondering if she took inspiration from this film or if it's just her nature and that kind of glitches just happened to be very well narrated into the film.
That is your PERCEPTION of her. This movie is dealing with that subject as well - how media easily creates a perception of somebody (Nick as a husband-murderer based on his behavior in public).Masses are EASILY swayed, just like during witch trials. I would compare witch trials to AH-JD trial. Masses "burned" this woman for their own entertainment. I was listening to AH's testimony and I believed her regardless of public perception. That trial is a proof how powerful men use their fame and power to portray the picture that works for them. He was the one acting and public ete it all. He is a drug addict and alcoholic and he was even on drugs during the trial.Try being married to such a man and see how long it takes you before you lose your mind, which is what happened to AH. I hope one day the truth will be clear to everybody and all of you that believed that perception of her will look like shallow fools, just like all those crowds in similar situations do.
a sociopath.
