After reading it for a while, I understood. Patrick is in a high position because it is his father's company. He spends a lot of time on fitness and beauty every morning and is late for work. Reading magazines and listening to music during working hours, having several meals a day, sitting in a flamboyant super-long car, taking drugs and prostitution at night. The synopsis said that he is a graduate of a prestigious school and a moneymaker, but in the movie he behaves like an embroidered pillow. Even people in the financial industry stand up and say that this business is absolutely impossible to be so idle, no matter how high the seat is. It's hard to say whether those brilliant academic qualifications and achievements are just like the mask he tore off, not his real situation.
When he goes to work, he interferes with the secretary's clothes beyond his authority, which is typical of gender discrimination in the workplace. Changing the description of the current American film and television works, once the secretary told him, even if he had a crush on his boss, he would not miss it. As a result, the secretary actually changed clothes according to his request. Perhaps the status of women in the workplace in the 1980s was indeed not high. The male lead went to Harry's Bar (is it called this?) to chat with Hupengouyou, and he still had a face to say to promote women's rights.
I also noticed that there were basically no blacks and yellow people in the upper class of American society in the 1980s. All white people. The story happened only 30 years ago, and there is such a big difference from the present society.
When Patrick was working out, there were several different plots on TV. Sometimes it was a 3p movie, and sometimes it was a Texas Chainsaw massacre, implying that maybe the male protagonist didn't do anything bad. It was these movies that made him fantasize.
The protagonist hooked up with his friend's fiancee. I guess at first they weren't as depraved and mature as they are now. At first, Patrick liked her. They were not just friends but dating. The friend of her and the male lead may be a family marriage, and the male lead has an underground relationship with her. But then people in their circle became more and more extravagant. The woman became confused most of the time because of drug use. There was no other charm except blond hair. Patrick's personality became more and more distorted, and their love disappeared. Exhausted. Saying goodbye to the bed for the last time, she looked uncharacteristically sober as she watched the male lead finishing his clothes. She understood that their feelings and humanity disappeared together.
The plot in which a few rich men compare business cards in the movie is very unbelievable. These people are boring and narrow-minded to this point. Even if they fight for their girlfriends in a luxury car suit, they are sweaty even if they lose their business cards. As for? The movie is to make the audience wonder "what is the difference between those business cards", and the business cards still call each other the wrong name for a long time, which highlights the incomprehensibility of their circles. I don't know if the sweat on Bell's face was hit before the filming started or it came out by himself. If it was really performed, it would be too superb.
Patrick was dissatisfied after losing the business card, and the scene of killing the beggar to relieve his anger completely exposed his abnormality, nose-hair-like motives, and expansive killing intent. The sudden accusation before he killed the beggar is not an exaggeration to say that he was cursing himself. "Why don't you work well" or something, he himself is not working well.
The guy that Patrick hates is familiar to me. After thinking about it, he is the actor of "Requiem for Dreams". He hasn't played a normal role.
The two came to the male protagonist's apartment and saw the newspaper on the floor and the cloth covering the furniture. I knew that my favorite QQ emoticon was about to appear.
Just why is it white cloth? It was obvious that the blood got up and it was not easy to deal with. Didn't this cause trouble for himself? Did he expect to be caught by the police? If all this is fantasy, why does the secretary (she or who, a blonde anyway) question these white cloths in the dry cleaner? Or is it really cranberry juice?
The crazy hairstyle and expression of the male protagonist after killing people can be called a monument in the history of thriller movies. In my heart, I can open the toilet door with the axe in "The Shining", and the crazy woman raises the hammer in "Ten Days of Danger". The curtain goes hand in hand.
Someone judged from the detail of "no questions asked at the front desk where there is blood stains" that everything is an illusion, I don't think so. This scene is a fantasy, and the others are not necessarily all. The producer does not want the audience to have a conclusion, but to let everything fall between the real and the fiction. This is also the reason why I like this film, I like it more than "Fight Club".
No, the appearance of detectives has shaken the "illusionism" again. The detective is the familiar "Green Devil" uncle. People who have played "The Extraordinary Twins" must recognize it. The researcher inside is the actor, and it is so kind to see him continuously.
Patrick told the detective that I was a little surprised when he was 27 years old. His number of pleats is not like someone who hasn't reached 30. Do you lie about your age for vanity?
In the evening he found two blonde ladies. In the end, he didn't explain why he was persistent with blond hair. The fiancée is blond, the lover is blond, the model in the bar Rio Cannon is blond, and even the secretary is blond. There was a scene where I seemed to see him put a bunch of blonde hair in his pocket. Which of the above ladies belonged to it? Personally, he tends to be the secretary. He has not tainted the secretary, but he actually has feelings for her, so he picked up her hair.
The ladies were called to Paul's apartment by the male lead. I don't know why they are like wooden people. It stands to reason that all the ladies should be able to speak well.
Then the male lead began to sing and talked about the music he liked. The two women looked blank and didn't listen at all. Can't he write a music review and send it to Rolling Stone magazine and pay them to publish it? Have to talk to Miss? Then he took out the camera and started directing the ladies, and I realized that Patrick asked them to shoot the MV.
When the film develops here, I am almost convinced that the male protagonist has typical manic characteristics: energetic, pretentious, talkative and laughable, and extremely irritable, turning his face quickly, and even a little offense by others will make him extremely angry. Strong desire for shopping and sexual desire. He is extremely eager to talk, hoping that others will pay attention to and listen to oneself, but at the same time, he is unwilling to listen to others. He is indifferent and selfish.
After comparing the business cards for the second time, I thought Luis was going to die in the toilet, but Luis grabbed Patrick's hand with his unwashed hands and scared Patrick away. In the 1980s, homosexuality could actually cure mental illness.
In addition to gays, one other person who was let go by Patrick was the blonde secretary. This secretary is completely in line with his preferences, he has been placed in the nearest place to him, but he has no legs. Obviously he was hesitating for some reason. Finally, the secretary always forgets the coasters and stupidly said that he wanted to go to the restaurant where he hadn't been able to reserve a seat, so Patrick was cruel. She was in the apartment, but she still escaped because of her purity and diligence. This is the most human-like scene of the male protagonist. Later, when the protagonist collapsed and became fragile, she also called her. She read the horrible diary of the male protagonist. She is the only person in the world who understands him, but she shed tears because of it-remember that she once said to the male protagonist "Have you ever wanted to make someone happy"? Everything in this movie can be fake, only her love is true. She hopes to make him happy. After reading the log, she understands that the male protagonist will never be happy and no one can save.
Apart from the secretary, I personally think that the street girl is very innocent. Seeing her on such a cold day, there is not a single customer, knowing that the male lead is not a good crop, but I had to get in the car. Just because Paul's apartment is better than Patrick's, it is a disaster. I felt more heartbroken when she died, and at the same time, I secretly determined that no matter who I went to visit, I must remember where the door was.
The actor chased her out, bare butt, covered in blood, holding a chainsaw, and running wildly in the corridor is the climax of the whole movie. Sexy, horror, and funny, all the essence of the movie is integrated. This ridiculous scene and the cash machine scene are starting to go "virtual" again.
This is what the original book and the director wanted. Putting a weight on both sides of the balance, everything seemed to be fake, and everything seemed to make sense.
Why is the street girl taking pictures of anyone's house and nobody cares? Perhaps every household is unwilling to take care of nosy, because Renqing is so indifferent.
Was she really killed? Maybe it's true, Patrick once said in front of his party friends that it was like breaking the heads of those women, and everyone else was frightened.
After Paul died, why could Patrick use his apartment unscrupulously without being broken by anyone? Maybe Paul is also a lonely person, no one will come to him.
Why are the dead bodies in Paul's apartment gone? Maybe it was the old lady at the end of the credits who dealt with it for her own purposes.
How can you get away with killing 20-40 people? Perhaps in a society where capital controls everything, his father is so powerful that no one dares to investigate. Coupled with his indifference, acquaintances saw Patrick carrying the bag without asking what was inside, only the brand of the bag. It is a paradise for murderers.
Why doesn't the lawyer know the male lead? It may be that the lawyer is helping the male protagonist to cover up the crime or to clarify the relationship in a public place.
Why was Paul seen in London again after his death? Maybe it's the wrong person. After all, there are many wrong people in the movie. The people on Wall Street are so alike, even the business card is like a mother's birth.
The bright axe reflected Patrick, distorted like Munch's "The Scream," but Patrick holding the axe is still so handsome, the real and the virtual are evenly matched.
At the end of the day, he watched TV, and I couldn't remember exactly what the monologue said, such as "the law can no longer stop me" and "unending pain". I couldn't help but roared out: Please let me taste this kind of painful waist! ! !

Digression, 3 details:
1,05:19 The male protagonist looked at the poster on the wall of The Miserable World when he was peeing.
2. At 13:42, the aunt in the dry cleaner spoke in Cantonese: "Oh, sir, sir, I will tell you." 3. At
15:52, the male lead called, and there was a burst of laughter on the phone. what happened? I thought it was a foreshadowing, but it turned out to be nothing.
4. Look at other film critics saying that Leonardo might have played at the beginning, but fortunately he didn't play it later. Xiao Li comes with spoilers. The male protagonist he plays must be paranoid, and the main "virtual" faction will win overwhelmingly.
