Author's Note After
There is a justification for that name so unnecessarily numerically. But before some free advice: if you, dear reader, and always highly respected, is the complaining about how long is written here, I advise you to follow until you can overcome your dismal contemporary complex virtual chronic laziness, as recently heard: "Thinking is free, enjoy." In this space I have to say is no fee.
...
watching a documentary (rather poor) on the villains villains in the movies, I decided to make my own top list most putrid of evil in the world of fiction.
One of my favorites has always been "The Doctor " ( Dr . Phillip Channard) of Hellraiser II, to whom we owe one of the more obscure phrases, subtle and depraved horror film (I leave for work).
But there was something I did not like . My dear Channard unfortunately could not be in the top list . Had to be especially intelligent, less obsessed (I've always thought that ignorance obsessions are not properly maintained). Ultimately had to be less greedy for me to get up a pagan altar to the greatest evil possible. Considering then that should not impoverish my energies in such a noble and thoughtful work, I carefully placed rules for the conduct of my will.

Ultimately had to be less greedy for me to get up a pagan altar to the greatest evil possible. Considering then that should not impoverish my energies in such a noble and thoughtful work, I carefully placed rules for the conduct of my will.
Among the most important and obvious was that this villain may be animal, monster or any entity that could be called "intelligence" (biological body "The Thing " for example, is on my list . The Architect " Matrix" could not miss). so I was configuring my list of villains. It remains to be considered a problem, which was to all those villains should be the king, the worst possible villains.
remembered then the Heath Ledger Joker . This character is at a level much higher than others: there is only one adjective to describe: the villain "Nietzschean" par excellence. On this subject I could write an entire entry, but now (sadly) I have no choice to go to the intelligence of the reader valuable to reflect on the words and attitudes of the Joker in (except for Ledger) tiresome film, so you can recognize the reasons why I say what I say. The truth is that, apparently, the Joker would win the race for my heart.
But then I remembered some of my absolute childhood, a wonderful film with which amazed me in my childhood, and for reasons I will explain later, I think the worst villains changed so substantial. I must say that so far the villain of that film was not even on the list: if you want to know which is the greatest evil possible see a series of two movies called Gremlins (1984-1990). To summarize, the "Gremlins" are actually Mogwais (evil spirits). At first they are very beautiful furry creatures (average mammal style). But these creatures of God to conceal some terrible things. To give an example, when wet, even if a drop of spring balls behind him that is rapidly transformed into other Mogwais-furry mammals. What kind of evil being played this way? ... The , another problem is even worse: if they eat after midnight, fearsome creatures metamorphose into full scale slugs and terrorizing non-stop. If on a water source large enough, only one of these Mogwais processed can pay off a horde of reptilian spawn of the devil with a sense of humor as gangrenous conceivable that at times people could end up with an average Christian. It is not something that is played, but if for some used film is to show what Morrongo that can become human mammal when released to their own devices. So we need not wonder when the film we see a band referred to these noble irrational beings taking over a luxury building in New York and reduced to chaos.
Why a movie villain with obvious features Dr. Channard comic moves and the Joker? Let's see: The Gremlins not intended be villains, no try to hurt anyone or anything. A Gremlin does not exist except project. His conduct is that of an innocent child who kills without stopping because that is their nature. The Gremlin is not bad in the strict sense of the term, just want to be. You do not want chaos, it's chaos. In that they are in a category beyond any Joker. The Joker from the movie claims not to be a conspirator, but in fact it is, you want chaos and want to show the inhabitants Gotham his rational life is a lie, that under it there is disorder and control of forces. Ledger in the film is a more moral contempt. But such aspirations are completely outside the mind of a Gremlin, the Gremlin does not want, or rather, his sole desire is desired. Unaware of their disasters only gives vent to what he represents, a Gremlin is the inertia made disaster. They do not seek to torpedo an established order, only the world are there, available to them, at your service as it is. That is why the figure of Gremlin in the movie is shown with that terrifying anarchic humor that characterizes them. There has been in the history of film a terrible villain, more worldly, more hopeful. Wanting to live in a world where such things exist, I myself would be one.
From this point of view the real malparidito of the film is that Gizmo. In this race against the side of order and good manners. Opposed to its nature is a mammal Judas sold his race for crumbs. A Pocahontas in the world of monsters. If they see you out there do not hesitate to crush a child standing ...
Brain Gremlin : Fred, what we want is, I think, what everyone wants, and what you and your viewers have: civilization.
Grandpa Fred : Yes, but what sort of civilization are you speaking of?
Brain Gremlin : The niceties, Fred. The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but civilization, yes. The Geneva Convention, chamber music, Susan Sontag. Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the centuries, that's what we aspire to; we want to be civilized.
[ a Gremlin with a beanie cap acts goofy next to Brain ]
Brain Gremlin : You take a look at this fellow here.
[ Brain shoots the Gremlin in the head. The Gremlins in the bar laugh ]
Brain Gremlin : Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There Are the Broadway shows - we'll find out how to Have to get tickets. There's Also a lot of street crime, But I Believe That We Can watch for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, Even Though We've Been Turned down in the past.
