American Psycho




WHAAAAA?!

I think I must have missed something about this film.



EDIT:

"Patrick Bateman is one of many in the "Army of Wall Street." The excessive psychopathic activities he engages in are rendered invisible by his GQ fashion plate exterior, and matched only by the excess of the 1980's, particularly enjoyed by the disaffected young financiers who are also heirs to ungodly family fortunes. He has no obstacle character, an advocate to an alternative path--even society does not fill the bill, as it too is self-centered and tired. A subjective story, the relationship between the main and obstacle characters, does not exist--and whatever objective story may be alluded to is seen as a Cristal and cocaine kaleidoscope through Patrick Bateman's Wayfarer sunglasses. Without providing any perspective but his own, the novel is nothing but an end of millennium monologue--an extremely witty tribute to cannibalistic consumerism and serial killer techniques."
