OK -- to lighten the mood a bit....

[Guest guest]

After the discussion of PD characters in film, now I can't help but notice

BPD/NPD characters in movies! Arghhh.

So, I recently watched a great movie -- lots of melodrama (mmmmmm?) and

great filmmaking -- for probably the 20th time.

But -- to me anyway -- a very obvious BPD character popped right out (one

minor clue -- could she be *your* nada???), and another character that

seemed rather NPD.

So -- the film is the Cecil B. DeMille " The Ten Commandments " with Charlton

Heston.

Can you guess which characters popped out to me?

(If we can't laugh now and again, we'd be too tempted to cry over all of

this!)

I don't know the movie as it has been like 100 years since I have seen it..

But.

In the same spirit - - TV TOO!!

American Chopper - SR is soooooo BPD

Everybody loves - 's Mother.

Bet I can come up with more if I think about it.

Too bad they cant do a quick PSA at the end of these shows and make them it

little educational too.

's Mother is MY NADA. the " supportive " jabs at what she thinks are others

shortcomings, the winy " I guess no one wants me around " crap. . .

that show is hilarious. but sometimes it is a little too close for comfort. DH

used to tell me all the time that she was just like her. I used to defend her

and agree at the same time. I am happy to see the light.

some period drama ones that come to mind

wives and daughters : hyacinth (aka step mother from HELL)

north and south: hero's mom in this one she controls him more than is

healthy.a bit milder.

These movies are based on books by the same author. I think she must have known

a BP at some time or another...

One of my favorite all-time sitcoms is " I Love Lucy " and my 7 year old loves her

now, too.

BUT in watching it now over and over and over, I'm seeing how Lucy's character

absolutely has some kind of PD or BPD: the insistence at being the center of

attention, the manipulative behavior, the removal of love when Ricky (or anyone

else) doesn't give her what she wants, the jealousy at anyone else's progress or

success...

It pained me to admit it to myself, that Lucy is mentally ill!!
