The film Badlands left a huge impression on me this week, which led to a little digging. Aside from James Dean, Badlands, along with many other films, have been inspired by the murder spree of Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate. This raises a question for me; are we born naturally to rebel society or is it a developed, environmental trait? Obviously this has been an ongoing "battle" in the field of psychology, but it is certainly an issue this film and the Starkweather-Fugate killings bring to surface.
This is a clip from Most Evil on Charles Starkweather.
