    I study criminal psychology and Edmund Kemper "the co-ed killer" was a subject I read up on. My brother recently told me about Mindhunter. It took awhile for me to get to watching the show, but I've finally dug my heels into Season 1. I'm very impressed with the actor's portrayal of Ed Kemper and am curious to know how much research he did for the part. I wonder if perhaps he read some of the same materials I've read. There are only a small handful of documentaries and interviews available, although I did speak to someone who served a year in prison up in Northern California where Ed remains imprisoned. He became close friends with Ed Kemper (aka Big Ed.). He wouldn't divulge much information to me out of respect for Ed, but he did inform me that the documentaries and interviews we have access to as the average citizen don't cover all of his crimes nor the details of the crimes... Mindhunter is an excellent show, especially for those interested in the fields of criminal psychology, behavioral sciences and the evolution of criminal profiling for the criminal justice system. I love that the show takes place in the 70's. It's a flashback to a great decade. The cars, the music and the nostalgia make for a rather interesting and enjoyable journey back in time. It was the decade that gave us the term "serial killer" as we know it now. I just finished Season 1 and look forward to seeing where Season 2 will take us. Thank you for putting this video together and posting.

      I've met him. I worked at cmf-VACAVILLE for the last 8 months. He's 300lbs in a wheel chair now. Shits himself. I had a 20 min convo with him outside the hospice unit and he was sad a friend of his had just passed which is why I was heading that way to notify my inmates to clean the area. He still talks like that. Creepy.

      I thought the same thing. If there's one major thing I have to knock the show for, it's trying to rev up the creep factor on the killers. In real life what makes them so disturbing is how normal they seem. Especially when the real Edmund Kemper cries when talking about his mother - you really don't expect that level of emotion from somebody capable of beheading and raping (in that ORDER) their own mother.

      actually he never meant any harm to men as he had no interest. considering that he was sexually frustrated and he was frustrated with his mom verbal abuse, he wanted to show his aggression on women. so these guys were safe. There was an incident where a female psychologist came to interview him. the interview was going good for like 15 mins or so. he was calm and was answering like any normal guy. but he all of a sudden stood up and started shouting angrily at her. as if he wanted to rip her up. thank God the officers were there to restrict him back to his cell.

    My favourite moment in the show was right before they talked to Manson, they went and visited Kepmer. He was reading a book and recording it on tape. That's an amazing detail because the real life Kemper did hundreds of recordings of books for blind people. He was not only really really good at it but he was the people's favourite reader. Many have praised him as their favourite reader. And it was just a small detail in the show they didn't even say what he was doing.

      But unless you have contacts at Vacaville's "Blind Projects" (they're the ones who have literally *hundreds* of his "e-books"), it's going to be tough to find them.
      I believe the only one they've ever released was his reading of "Flowers in the Attic" by V. C. Andrews, but there was too much controversy and it brought some unsavory attention to their associations, so they decided not to upload any of the others.
      There are obviously rumors that some of the people at the associations have family/close ones that have managed to upload some of the e-books for profit, since lots of people who are fascinated by serial killers ("murberabilia") are willing to pays 10s of thousands of $ for a single e-book, especially if it stays exclusive...

When considering his mother being responsible for his mental issues, nobody shrugs off automatically the responsibility of the killing from the killer himself. Some people actually do have very harmful parents, and they do not end up being healthy. Mostly what will happen, they will develop depression, stress and anxiety disorders. There is a very good chance of some parents being too extreme on their kids, and they might become the next Ed Kemper.

      I have only seen clips of the show so I don't know if the actor ever cries, but I think the real footage of Ed trying hard not to cry is better than the interpretation of the role where he just said the line. Ed did horrible things to strangers, acting out violent fantasies aimed towards his mother. For him to verbalize the killing of his mother knowing he had planned it; to think back to the time when he thought 'I won't stop killing till she's gone'. Getting geared up for a grand ending sequence and then she just speaks to him as she would any other night. This is a story of longing to be nurtured and to get the upper hand, to humiliate the one who always humiliated him. He is so eloquent throughout the interview, so straight forward and yet for an instant he looks like a little boy. The actor was very one note in that scene in my opinion, no vulnerability. He/ the scene seems otherwise good I so I think he's capable of doing better and I'd say let's do an alternate take if I were the director/ if they did it both ways I'd pick the emotion to vary the flow of dialog.

      @@hellovallis the portrayal of Ed Kemper (or all the serial murderers in the series) is a moral/ethical dilemma. how far do you want to humanise them? is it right to do so? you are broadcasting a show about the scums of the earth doing heinous acts to others, do you want them to be “relatable”? Is it justified for one to blame their upbringing to multiple murders? To me the portrayal was great in terms of toeing the lines. I think it’s a conscious effort by the director and actor in saying that “This guy has a shitty upbringing but no amount of regret afterwards can justify the murders of his multiple victims, including his own mother”.

Even when crying when speaking about his mom, it showed that ultimately, the catalyst of his undoing was lack of love from his mother and the killing was outward expression of craving love from her. because he couldnt get it, he hated and killed women. he wasn't detached from his reality. he was remorseful but, again, honest. the actor's portrayal was far too comfortable.....and in moments of great clarity, far too cold and detached. the beginning where he speaks about cops loving him.....he was far too pleased with the idea of being clever....even coming off smug in moments(a smirk when saying he wasnt an expert). Kemper didnt come off this way. He was indifferent to it as he saw it as a necessity. and when asked about it, he showed indifference. even reaching for that pizza was cringe because Kemper wouldnt have actually wanted to be distracted by pizza to take his eyes off of the interviewer because he was too focused on the feeling of what he had done and conveying that message with clarity. as an actor he should have actually denied the pizza to stay with the "essense." you cant nail the essence if you dont get the foundation correct. it was a good attempt but it wasnt great by any means.

It removed a lot of the blame for them, and I think Ed Kemper capitilised on that trend of thinking.

      I think there is a certain remorse. Maybe not quite how you or I might feel it but I think that, given his intelligence and understanding of mental trauma, he gets what he did and the negative impacts he's had on those close to his victims.
      He's turned down parole hearings since 1981...that was nearly 40 years ago...and he's refused them since all under the context that HE, HIMSELF, has CHOSEN not to attend them because he knows he isn't fit to return to society.
      He know's he's crazy and that there's something wrong with him. Considering that he knows this I would say that he's aware of his condition, accepts it, and knows that he's a "negative", so to speak.
      So whether or not he feels remorse, who knows, but he certainly can see his condition and has the...courtesy...to keep himself away from us.

      However, I will say, that while he has turned down hearings it's hard to say if, given that he's manipulative and intelligent, he could just be stalling all these years to build credibility. Might be released when he's 73 in a few years just to go kill again.

      That is not the problem. He may appear to be manipulative but he know what he did is wrong, he admits he doesn't belong in society and doesn't want to go back. He's not a narcissist, his mother was. Kemper doesn't see himself as the victim of the whole scenario, he just seems himself as a victim of a bad childhood. With that I agree. Growing up with abusive grandparents and a mother is what made him that way. If he was narcissistic, he would never have turned himself in. His hatred for his mother is the real motive for all his murders, not an unbridled lust nor to seek attention, its demonstrated by his actions. After he killed his mother, he lost his urge to kill as if everything was over for him. He had no purpose left. That's why he turned himself in.

    I have seen a lot of comments talking about how the real Kemper shows much more emotion and what seems to be true remorse, but the thing is, if you read "Mindhunter" (the book written by John Douglas about his career as a criminal profiler, upon which the show is based on) Douglas talks about how Kemper was always tranquil, matter-of-fact, casual and had a sharp sense of humor in the interviews. Douglas says the only moment Kemper showed emotion during the interviews was when talking about how his mother mistreated him (which the show correctly portrays). Otherwise he was entirely undisturbed by his detailed account of events and never showed real remorse.
    The dark joke about how "mom always wanted people to look up to her" is actually something he said, according to Douglas.
    Why is he so emotional in the interview here, then? Well, here's the catch: Douglas didn't interview him *with a camera, for a tv network*. What you're seeing here is a finely crafted performance, both on the part of Cameron Britton's fictionalized Kemper and on the part of Kemper himself.

      He has chosen to turn down parole hearings multiple times though, I think he's fully aware of how perverse and messed up he is and is disgusted by it. He's not a true psycopath, I can think of few serial killers who truly are/were (Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy were undoubtedly psychopaths with absolutely zero empathy). I think he was very well-played in the show and the Kemper scenes are the highlight for me (haven't finished it yet), but I think they overdid the creepiness a little, the real Kemper was better at putting himself across as a "nice", normal guy. It's easy to judge what the killers were like purely based on the sensationalist TV interviews with them, though, you could say the same about the Jeffrey Dahmer interviews.

    • @JonShade-fy2gm
      @JonShade-fy2gm 6 лет назад +155

      Kemper absolutely is a psychopath. He's incredibly intelligent and articulate, and knows exactly how to come off as benign and even capable of empathy. But he didn't turn himself in due to empathy for his victims. Psychopaths actually can experience some degree of emotion for others, and they most certainly do for themselves. But it's not the same as true empathy, on any level. He's possessed with a very high, unique intelligence and a deep self-awareness which he articulates and expresses very genially, but this is exactly how he manipulates. He knows how to use his intelligence and "easygoing" nature very shrewdly. He's fascinating to listen to, because he seems so self-contained that he almost -- just almost -- comes off as even tranquil. He has the listener's attention the entire time, and not solely due to the subject matter. He's a very good storyteller (the extended 1991 interview really shows this). That interview of him is really the one to watch very carefully. He also possesses a great wit, which disarms you as you listen to his stories of other inmates, specifically one he slowly "trains" by employing several tactics over time -- complete manipulation to win the trust of said inmate. His descriptions of this are very amusing and witty, until you realize he's got you so caught in his web of charm and distraction that you've become completely off-guard, and feel off-kilter -- THAT'S when I stopped and froze, and realized just how wholly terrifying his trickery really is. It was an awful, chilling moment. He's more frightening to me than watching, say, Bundy, because Bundy is so overtly cagey and cryptic, and doesn't attempt to mask his awful little expressions of smugness, delight, or disdain. Joel Rifkin reminds me just a touch of Kemper -- Rifkin too comes off as very straightforward, benign, a little nebbishy, even almost bored, but he still can't contain the menacing little smirk that crosses his face at times. And he's not nearly as interesting, sharp, or charismatic as Kemper. I think Kemper did genuinely mourn for the self he could have been. Especially when he was much younger, and was really able to feel that huge stretch of future in front of him, the waste of the rest of his life in prison. He knew how smart he was, and how, under different circumstances, he could have had a different life. He knew the tragedy of his perversity, and he did stop it by turning himself in. And in that way, he showed real emotion, regret, a true grasp of who he had become. But that's still not capacity for empathy -- empathy for his victims, and the incomprehensible suffering he caused. He feels emotions solely for himself -- NOT for others. Kemper is really the master of total self-containment, clarity, openness... he gives you the feeling that you can ask or tell him anything -- and nothing harmful could come from it. This is exactly what made/makes him so dangerous.

    What makes real Ed more scarier to me is the fact that he really is like just anyone you see on the street, wait in the elevator with or stand beside on the bus... the serie version Ed would tingle my spidey-senses right off the bat (😂😂), but the real one Would Not. THAT is what makes him so damn scary. 😰

      That's part of the intrigue. We're social animals. Serial Killers, especially the intelligent and well controlled ones, are a dark twisted representation of what makes us all human. Everyone has had bad experiences and mental/physical trauma. All of us has had some thought of horrible or dark fantasies. But the gap between the normal person actually doing it and the killers that do go through with it. That just taps into a question of who we are and what makes us tick.

      Scott Williams the point of the show is to find out why they did the things they did, killers like Ed started out in this world just like us, it was how they were brought up during their childhood that made them fucked up. The characters try to see both sides, his human side and his dark side. Just because he talks and cries like that doesn’t mean he’s a psycho. I don’t mean to say your wrong at all, I’m just saying what I think. Showing a little empathy can go a long way.

    • @aelfswyth
      @aelfswyth 3 года назад

      I suppose that's because psychopaths have no empathy for others, so the only feelings they have probably center around themselves. As a "normal" person I feel that my empathy for other people is so deeply rooted, like part of my very being. It's hard to imagine existing without it. A disturbing though, as you said. Painful even.

      I'd assume that was more direction than a fault of acting. I honestly found the actor's portrayal to be creepier than the real thing due to the repression or complete lack of expression; I'm still debating whether that is a negative for drifting away from the actual Ed Kemper or a positive for sending chills down my spine. I lean towards positive.
