American Psycho 1, 美国杀人狂
Me: Do you like Mary Harron’s adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho?
Snooty Film Analyst: It’s OK.
Me: The later scenes are a little too abstract for my tastes, but when Bateman’s monologuing carries on throughout all 102 minutes, I think it really comes into its own, commercially and artistically. The whole film has a clear, crisp look, and an old sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives Andrzej Sekula’s cinematography a big boost. Mary Harron's been compared to David Fincher in the final scenes, but I think Mary has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
Snooty Film Analyst: Hey, Simon.
Me: Yes, Analyst?
Snooty Film Analyst: Why are their notes scattered around the place concerning theories…
Christian Bale deserved an Oscar.
So quotable.
So funny.
So twisted.
So delirious.
So amazing.
Sorry this review is so short, I have to return some videotapes.
bret easton ellis really had the nerve to say that women can’t direct even after mary harron adapted his book into one of the most iconic films of all time huh 🤔
patrick bateman’s horrified reaction when he saw his collague’s business card and said “it even has a watermark” was the most dramatic moment in cinematic history
omg can’t believe Patrick Bateman invented morning routines, the beauty guru jumped out
look I know this might be fairly controversial and I don't want to upset anyone I just think that this app is a place I can express my opinions about film and I really hope you agree and take my words with appreciation for freedom of speech and simple conversation when I say: patrick had the nicest business card anyway
Sorry about the length in advance.
I watched this film a few years ago and thought, “I got it. He really isn’t Patrick Bateman. Big whoop.” I return to this and realize how little I knew. American Psycho is a masterpiece. It examines American society (specifically 80s Wall Street yuppies) in the most uproarious and horrific light possible. It’s dark and sardonic, but thoroughly entertaining. I shouldn’t be laughing at someone being killed or a related comment, but it absolutely slayed me. Bale is the highlight, but its overall craftsmanship and themes should be commended as much.
There are two BIG questions people ask about American Psycho
1. Did Patrick Bateman really exist?
2. Did Patrick Bateman or whoever Bateman…
as a graphic designer i too start vigorously sweating at the sight of copperplate gothic typography on a business card
yes patrick bateman is an awful, terrible person who kills peoplebut do you know what he doesn't do? lethis friends get away with making anti-semitic statements
The ending was actually fantastic, and the fact that even the director doesn’t know what the ending means is even better! We get to use our own imagination to decide the ending! I just love this kind of movies.
imagine getting killed by your coworker obsessed with 20 years old music now
like imagine dying while you listen to natasha bedingfield
Actively annoyed it’s taken me so long to watch American Psycho. Incredible movie with Bale’s best performance?
Related so much because my girlfriend never pays attention to the crayon doodles I do on restaurant table cloths either.
Pretty great commentary on how fucked up American yuppies/socialites are, as it ages the dialogue feels a little on the nose but it takes on an almost b movie humor. A cult classic that begs rewatching for its confusing but poignant ending
Am I just a Russian bot trying to change the Internet perception of white college aged males with this mediocre review?
Wait please answer I want to know as well.
The initial vibe is nice but it soon appeals to shock value more than anything. Overall, not particularly interesting, especially with its name recognition 0/5
And he presents himself as this harmless old kind man but inside... But inside...
