This week, I want to mention three psychologically disturbed characters which my endearing Muse, Keanu Reeves, has portrayed throughout his enduring career, in the mystifying realm of film entertainment. Now, this is topic definitely engages my interest; as I happen to possess an extensive background in the science of psychology. To begin with, I would like to mention Keanu Reeves’ villainous; yet, sexy character, “Donaka Mark” in the “Man of Tai Chi” film.

If any of you were not aware, this film was a pet project of Keanu’s, which was released in the year of 2013. This means that my Muse, Keanu Reeves, both directed and starred in this innovative martial arts action film. And I have always been rather proud of what a good job he has done with it. His acting was interesting because he did bring this nefariously contemptible character to life. “Donaka Mark” certainly did not possess any iota of guilt or remorse at all for causing the corruption of the quietly reserved character, “Tiger Chen Lin Hu”, who was an expert in Tai Chi martial arts. In fact, in my opinion, he exhibited unsettling psychopathic personality traits (just the traits; not the actual psychopathic personality disorder diagnosis, in its entirety).

The reason that I disregarded sociopathic traits is due to the fact that those who possess sociopathic traits are so impulsive and disorganized, that they are often caught committing crimes more easily than those who possess psychopathic traits. And the fact that “Donaka Mark” kept uttering the words, “You owe me a life”, and meant them, by acting upon them; further demonstrated his psychopathic tendencies. Nonetheless, I must say that Keanu still exhibited alluring sex appeal whilst portraying this villainous character.

Next up is Keanu’s monstrously cold-blooded character, “David Allen Griffin”, in the crime/drama/mystery film, “The Watcher”. In actuality, it seemed more like a psychological thriller and horror film, all rolled into one. Now, this character possessed a pathological need to continuously murder young women; which makes him a serial killer. And I am quite convinced that “David Allen Griffin” suffered from an acute form of psychopathic personality disorder.

He was a Ted Bundy’ archetypal serial killer; that’s for certain. And he was so cute that it was easy to see why a couple of the young female victims found him irresistibly attractive and charming…at first, anyway. However, his terrible hatred for women, in general, was so entrenched that I would rather run away from him than get involved with someone as sadistically cold-blooded as “David Allen Griffin”. He was so cunning, manipulative, and ruthless with the possession of expert forensic skills, years of study for murdering efficiently without errors, and the uncanny ability to exude superficial and charismatic charm to attract others (including his victims). Nevertheless, his eventual downfall (not surprisingly) was due to his becoming obsessed with the former FBI agent who worked the murder cases of “David Allen Griffin’s” prior victims. Of course, this FBI agent’s purpose was only to capture and imprison him; but, “David Allen Griffin” developed a type of brotherly’ attachment to him (which led to his untimely demise). And honestly, I believe that my Muse, Keanu Reeves, should have received more acclaim for bringing such a sinister character to life.

And finally, there is Keanu Reeves’ “Bob Arctor” character in “A Scanner Darkly”. Now, this was an animated character of Keanu’s who was an undercover police officer. Now, he only became psychologically disturbed through the use of a new type of addictive drug. A kind of synthetic, designer drug, is what I came to believe it was.

Throughout this rather distinctive animated film, the “Bob Arctor” character became more unbalanced and unhinged psychologically, whilst on this dangerous drug. He began having disturbing hallucinations, exhibiting schizophrenic-type behaviors (including hallucinations and paranoia), and even began demonstrating exhibitionist-type sexual behavior (i.e., a form of paraphilic disorder). Now, I actually believed he deserved his seemingly permanent and pitiable state of childlike mentality, after being assigned to a residential treatment program, at the end of this film. This childlike mentality was reminiscent of such psychological states as were reported during the 1960’s regarding those who suffered long-term Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD/Acid) effects from extensive use of this harmful, hallucinogenic drug.

I believe that “Bob Arctor” deserved his awful fate because of how he callously abandoned his wife and two daughters; years before he took this odious drug, and was engaging in illicit, exhibitionist sex with at least one female drug addict, whilst undercover. Yes, I believe he was suffering the effects of negative karma because it was the female friend, which he trusted so much, that led him cruelly into using the dangerous drug; as though he was an experimental human guinea pig. Although she did attempt to act as if she felt guilty for having done such a terrible thing to him. Overall, it was an intriguing film, though. Yet, most of the films that my Muse, Keanu Reeves, was involved in with Mr. Erwin Stoff, of “3 Arts Entertainment”, were quite entertaining films; I do admit.
