It doesn't promote anything. The movie doesn't tell you how to feel about him. If some people idolize him, that's on them.

Umm, average movie length is (supposedly) 96.5 minutes, which would total at 643.33 hours. That's 26.8 days. They didn't do the math right?

That's just above 80 days of watching if you spent 8 hours a day.

The average runtime of psychological thrillers is actually about 120 minutes, even older movies like Hitchcock’s Vertigo runs 129 minutes
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
They assumed an average runtime of 116 minutes which seems a bit high when there's 400 movies included. American Psycho is 102 minutes long.

Is Hannibal Lecter a psychopath? I always thought he was a man that just made a rational decision to kill and eat people.

Yes, agreed, to my understanding he's more of a sociopath.. sane but completely unfeeling.

Psychopath is psychological, sociopath is sociological. They’re both insane, but level of feeling is debated and varies.

It’s just how it’s studied. It’s an explanation of how ASPD can occur in neurotypical patients, i.e, sociopaths. Neuropsychology studies it.
WinsWaldo
It may not be clinically relevant, but it’s worthwhile to researchers.
murd0c1
Antisocial personality disorder is the correct term as medical professionals don't use either term. Nor do they differentiate between them.
WinsWaldo
Exactly! Based on DSM-5 ASPD fits both and no distinction is made. In study socio is societal influence, psycho is biological influence.
shitheadtookmyname
THANK YOU. Reading the inaccurate know it all comments here is maddening

Neither is a real diagnosis. The DSM lists Antisocial Personality Disorder, which includes "amoral, antisocial, asocial, psychopathic, and>

sociopathic personalities".
Kbantar
So just a gargantuan catch all for numerous psychologies and people. It should probably have the word, spectrum in it though.
TheeRealDuke
Also my understanding is that because of that, psychopaths are born, and sociopaths are made (through trauma or illness).
Moguntia
Have you read the rise of Hannibal Lector (don't remember the English title)? Trauma sums it up

I feel it’s important to clarify here that someone can fit the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder (what you’re calling >

His portrayal on the TV Show "Hannibal" is substantially better than in the films. He is quite rational, deliberately evil.

I believe Mads even said he played the character more as a satanic force of nature simy walking among people. Blue & orange morality.

It may be a better portrayal for drama but "deliberately evil" is incorrect. He's not evil, he just cares very little about things.
