The Subtle Art of Acting Insane

#psychology #madness #literallyme

From the famous literally me characters like Patrick Bateman and Tyler Durden to the Wizard of Oz, directors love to create characters whose reality is different from the rest. Are the characters going insane or do they just live in a mad world? In this video we'll go over the concept of Madness and see how it has created some of the most iconic characters in the history of cinema.
Some of the characters we are going to discuss: Joker, Travis Bickle, Jack Torrence, Alex DeLarge, Tyler Durden/The Narrator, Donnie Darko, Norman Bates, Lou Bloom and a few more!
