Re: Rainmans New Project: 'No Country Killer'
Well the connections between those characters are that they are film/TV characters, and are stylized interpretations of psychopaths. And those seem to be getting a lot of attention in the custom community nowadays for whatever reason. But sure, they are different in different ways, and some share similarities that others don't. In my opinion, Anton's reasons for murder are no more defensible than those of Mickey and Mallory. And of course, Anton does not receive justice. Nor does Bateman. I personally think Dexter is a decent show, but nothing great. On artistic merit I would rank NBK higher than American Psycho. But this is all pretty subjective. My understanding is that NBK is extremely loosely based off of an actual couple.
. But those are the kind of characters/movies that I like the most. NBK & AP wrestle around with A Clockwork Orange for the top spots in my fave 5 of all time list. While the guys being mentioned here are up my alley, the only real similarity that they have is that they're all psychos and killers. But all have very different agendas and motives and all of their respective movies send very different messages. Bickle is more of a twisted hero than anything else. And like alexi said the big similarity between AP and NBK is that they are both dark satires; but both are parodies of completely different subjects.
