Villain character profile: The villain in our film remains anonymous because we feel the sense of not knowing their identity is more thrilling to the whole film but one thing is obvious, he is extremely sociopathic because of how he works, everything is private to him and it epitomised in the final scene where he waves to the detective, he wants to fit in and do right, in many ways look like a model citizen even when he knows you couldn't be further from the truth. In this way it can be compared to the villain in Django Unchained (2012) as Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) is clearly a sociopath in the way he has a very formal and friendly front and makes himself approachable and tries to relate to the other character, yet when it comes to business or being angered by another the mask you see at first fades and he becomes someone who could only be described as pure evil. So in a very similar way to our character they both wear a mask in the eye of the public because they know mentally they are not the same as others and feel it must be hidden.

However there is the argument that the character has lost all sense of reality and is actually a psychopath. This point would be shown best when he begins to drink a glass of whiskey while he has a heart sat right next to him, so from a psychological viewpoint that socially is not normal so he has deviated from the social norm which is one classification of a psychopath. A character that also fits the idea of not fitting in to society at all is the Joker in the Dark Knight (2008) who is played by Heath Ledger. He fits this idea because socially he completely deviates from any norm, shown best by the way he dresses with clown make-up all of his life which is not accepted by society. So this comparison between the two is best summarised by saying that the pair do not realise that socially they are wrong in all senses but do not realise and frankly feel they are in the right and show that through fear in power.

The last character the villain is best compared to is that of the killer in Se7en (1995) played by Kevin Spacey due to the fact their ideologies are similar in that they want to rid the world of all that is bad; Se7en it was a case of highlighting the seven deadly sins and exposing of them where as our film it was a case of the killer sees himself as a vigilante who disposes of those who he feels are a burden to society. They link well because to themselves their motives are good and in heir own mind their actions are justified but to others and by law they are wrong.
