10 Awesome Movie Characters That Were Probably Mentally Ill

5. John Hammond - Jurassic Park

The moment a man declares €œnot only do I want to bring dinosaurs back from the dead, but I want to build a theme park around them€, you know he€™s taken megalomania to giddy new heights. His level of power-madness is rarely seen outside of a Bond villain, but even Max Zorin would baulk at the prospect of reversing extinction. And then monetizing it. The most worrying thing is it€™s all for the sake of a tourist attraction, rather than for, say, a scientific world that could very likely benefit from the use of advanced cloning technology. For another madman of a similar calibre, see The Truman Show€™s Christof, who kidnaps a small boy so he and the rest of the world can watch his whole life develop thanks to a hidden, 1984-style camera set-up.
