Definitely Evil. Despite being an illiterate man at the time of his crimes to being a well learned man with an incredible self education into Law, literature, and philosophy, he could never unlearn the one thing that got him arrested in the first place; Violence is the ultimate conclusion to any problem. Scarily, Cady could have gotten everything he wanted without breaking a single law. He could have destroyed Bowden's entire life without ever having to resort to violence. He could have easily ruined Bowden's marriage upon discovering his affair and then telling his wife about it earnestly. He could have manipulated his daughter against her parents without resorting to sexual advances. He could have destroyed Bowden's entire law career and got him disbarred by winning his case against Bowden for his misconduct. Just like that he would have destroyed bowden's marriage, his relationship with his daughter, his means of income and career, and by the end of it Bowden himself most likely would have either killed himself or became a shallow husk of a man he once was... and if that wasn't enough for Cady, he still could have chosen to murder Bowen in the end and he still would have lost all the things he held dear in his life before it. .... but that wasn't enough for Cady.. Instead of just revealing the affair, he seduced, raped, and brutalized the woman Bowden was having an affair with. He openly stalked Bowden and his family with the intent to discomfort and terrorize them. He targeted Bowden's daughter with the intent of not only manipulating her to go against her parents, but most likely to rape and brutalize her as well, which is the same fate he had planned for his wife. He killed a man in Bowden's house with piano wire he stole from Bowden's piano with the intent to frame him for murder and isolate him and his family so he could confront Bowden, then make him watch all the terrible things he had planned for his family before killing him as well. If you look at the philosophies Cady studied in prison, none of these brutal actions seem in any way necessary, and in fact may be in conflict with many of his beliefs, or at least what he says he believes.... But when you get down to it... an uneducated man, or a frighteningly intelligent self educated one, the man was always (and could never be anything but) sadistic, violent, and psychopathic to his very core. True evil, in my opinion.

Also worth noting that while Sam did sabotage Max’s defense, it probably did not harm Max as much as he makes out. Sam mentions Max had boasted to him about attacking other women, and the reason he buried the report was because he saw images of just how brutally Max had attacked his latest one. So while Max believes the report would have gotten him off Scott free, it’s just as likely that once a jury saw what he had done they still would have sentenced him to jail, but he might have gotten a shorter term for it. And even if he had gotten off, he was almost certainly going to do it again, in which case he’d be a multi-time offender and would go up for even longer. Yet Max totally shirks off any of his own responsibility and frames it as Sam being solely responsible for his lost years.

Same. And he managed to encompass the real men who are like that amazingly. My ex husband was exactly like this dude (no where near as smart despite thinking he was) he found me when I was 17 (he was 45 )and got me hooked on drugs and after convincing me to go down to the court house and marry him after a week long bender of meth, oxy and other drugs and alcohol. After that he subjected me to a life basically of a s*x trade victim. He would beat the hell out of me all the time and do whatever he wanted with my body whenever he wanted, kept me isolated from my loved ones, told me when I could eat and what I could eat, how to dress, when I was allowed to sleep, when I could shower etc, and kept me high and addicted so I wouldn't try to get away as often. He gamed the system, was a criminal, and a general fucking piece of shit hillbilly. He reveled in how much of a piece of shit he was and found it funny. I tried getting away from him multiple times to no avail. Finally he went to prison for beating me to a bloody pulp and it was enough time for me to get clean, get back on my own two feet and reestablish a close relationship with my friends and loved ones who then helped me become even more successful. I went from being a homeless, addicted, battered and beaten woman to where I am now; clean over 6 years, you certified chemical dependency counselor is assistant, a senior in college to further my education by getting my bachelor's degree in psychological science with a criminal Justice minor, two beautiful daughters, a home owner of a lovely safe home in a quiet friendly wonderful suburban neighborhood, and of course a owner of my two awesome doggies☺️. And as for him, not too long after he got out of prison, he ended up dying miserable and alone, homeless and addicted, and from what I heard was even a John Doe for like 30 days when he first died because nobody cared about him enough to look for him and he didn't have an ID or wallet or anything on him. And while I am very proud of what I've been able to make of my life and how drastically I was able to change my circumstances, in the end there is a part of me that will never be quite right again because of all he has done to me. As much as I don't want to admit it, he still left his mark on me and I'll never be exactly the same as I once was ever again. Even though part of me feels like I won since he always told me that if I ever left him he would kill me... and Since HE was the one who died... I still cannot say I managed to get away unscathed. I had horrific unimaginable nightmares for about two years pretty much every time I fell asleep. They're much less now but every now and then I'll have them. I have issues with anxiety and can have anger issues sometimes. My doctor diagnosed me with PTSD and said these are common symptoms which is true but I still feel almost disappointed with myself in that I couldn't manage to be able to overcome all he did without even having so much as a scar. Which is probably impossible but I still wish I could have done it. I'm sure he is burning in hell right now laughing that he managed to make sure I was never totally the same after I got away from him. But for all I went through I am doing pretty well. I think I still succeeded in over coming it all. Just not completely unbothered by it.

Great synopsis of one of my favorite characters in the film. Villain or victim, I always thought that Max was first and foremost a narcissist. That being the driving force behind his desire to avenge his perceived losses by improving himself. In the film, he seemed very obsessive about his appearance, Taking time to dye his hair, wearing flamboyant clothing, even listening to opera gave the feeling of a man who has quantified his losses specifically in the terms of the time that was taken from him. It’s almost as if he experienced the exact opposite of what prison is designed to do.

I find is so much more fitting that Cady was the one who became a near equal to Bowden in terms of the law.

Max Cady was man who despite his horrifying deeds had tremendously strong sense of right-and-wrong. He knew what he had done was wrong and still did it. He went to jail for it and he had no problem with that idea. It was right thing to happen. Man who was meant to represent him in court of law and deliberately failed to do it and kept it hidden was severe breach against his sense of right and wrong and despite his extreme methods (way disproportionate) his moral sense does connect with many people.

To me i felt Sam reasons for burying the report was justified as he knew Max cady was a danger to the public and knew he could do it again hinting Sam may of seen this before and never wanted to see the same victim fall into prey of someone like Max cady

I just found your channel, and literally just put every one of your videos into my watch later list. Going through them now. Dude. I am blown away, and am so excited to have found your page. I chose this specific video to comment on, because I am currently writing a feature length script on a sequel to Cape Fear. Mostly just for practice, but also with the intent on pitching/selling it to Universal Studios. It will serve as a half-sequel / half-remake of the book and the 1962 movie. I have been needing a deeper dive into the mind of Max Cady, so I am beyond excited to have this analysis available. Thank you for it.

Man I had been looking into Cape Fear over the last couple of weeks and you go ahead and make a very in depth video about it. Nice!

The part where the daughter sees him at school is one of the most disturbing movie scenes I’ve ever seen

Must say the cameos by Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum touch of genius

The work you're doing is valuable, because too many of us have a capacity for evil. Understanding fictional characters that display varying degrees of that potential, and delving into who they were inspired by, is an excellent avenue for self-observation and recognition of evil in those around us.

I mean that, as a sophisticated idea, we have opportunities to grow from pain and injustice, instead of unleashing the infection it causes within us upon others.

Seen this flick twenty's times and never realized all the philosophy books in his cell. Always thought they were all law books lol Makes me love the character even more 😉

He’s like Rick Deckard’s account of Leon in Blade Runner: “The only way to hurt him is to kill him”.

The Armitage Family from Get Out would make for a good analysis.

A fantastic profile. Thank you kindly. This version of Cape Fear appeared on Netflix recently and I enjoyed it. It's serendipitous to be able to get the Vile Eye's gaze on it. A suggestion of mine for another video would be Harry Powell (The Deranged Preacher) from Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter, a film that was to my understanding, a commercial failure, most probably because it was decades ahead of its time.

I love your breakdowns. Each one just nails the psychology of the characters perfectly.

One of my early favorite movies. Can't wait to watch your breakdown!

Max drops a line about his daughter not knowing him. Does anyone honestly think he would have been any kind of father? He’d probably have abused her like his other victims. Who can blame her for cutting him out of her life? His anger at Sam is totally unjustified for that, that was something he did to himself.

@RR-on4sk

Oh for sure. He was a repeat offender that kept getting away with it because of sexism in the courts. He was angry Sam didn't exploit that. The movie really makes you uncomfortable because if you believe everyone deserves fair justice, yes, sam should've went after the victim's character in court using the evidence.. but we know the legal system at the time was awful to victims and would've let a Grapist go free. It's a tough spot to be in because on one hand, most people would agree it's ok to let a few guilty go free to preserve fairness for the innocent, but we know the system is highly flawed and does sometimes allow the guilty walk.

oh im so excited about this video, cady is a super interesting character with millions of details and stuff to analyze cant wait!!

I enjoy this series. It’s concise, and always well researched.

I remember in one video you had a sponsor from "Crunchy Roll," and you mentioned "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" being your favorite. I would like to see your take on "Father" or "King Bradley" one day.

This has become my favorite channel to watch!! Amazing work and solid villans you have done videos on so far.. Peter and Paul from FUNNY GAMES U.S. would be a great video to watch.

It has always struck me what Max Cady would have done if, having gone through all his preparation, he found out that Sam Bowden had passed away anyway just before he was due for release?! Perhaps cancer or a road traffic accident had claimed him first to deny him all his plans of vengeance. All that study and work would have been for nothing if his objective was already out of the equation. I doubt he would focus on his family as, without Sam as an audience, there would be no point. The joke would be totally on him.

OMG FINALLY!! I am so glad you did this video. I love THIS max cady in particular. He is a great character. Ive always been curious about your take on him.

I always saw Cady as a possible path for Travis Bickle. The difference was circumstance.

That's the scary part about Travis Bickle is that he was a ticking time bomb. The only difference is that he had circumstances that resulted in him being somewhat satisfied with himself for a while. If you remember the final scene where he looks at the rare mirror it shows that he's still capable and willing to commit crazy acts if he wants

I have always regarded Scorcese's Cape Fear as being not just a remake of the original Cape Fear but of The Night of the Hunter too. De Niro's Cady seems to have as much of Mitchum's corrupt murderous false preacher Harry Powell in him as he did Mitchum's shady brutal con man in the '62 version of Cape Fear.

Fun tidbit: in his youth Mitchum spent some time bumming across America, stowing away on trains, living out of hobo camps. During his meandering he encountered some real life backwoods communities. He drew off the experience to portray Harry Powell.

A revelation. I never knew the films were adapted from a novel.
