The gold and the jade are on the surface, the defeat is on the inside

Many mental patients have strange hobbies. Bateman is a typical dual personality mental patient. He loves work more than ordinary people, and he loves killing like a demon. At work, even if he has no real power, he still works and socializes every day. On the other hand, he has a sense of ritual when killing people. He has a lot of gloves and raincoats. Even if he finds his goal is GAY, he will wash his gloves. This is enough to see. He is a principled murderer. During the killing, he was very perverted, very cruel, very creative, and very artistic. It is a likable murderer, but this image also alludes to the respectable beasts in society. This kind of beasts in clothing is like the Bateman in the movie. They live very delicately in the eyes of others. They are always dressed in fake and glamorous coats, but their personality is utterly ruined. His mind was filled with jealousy, perverted, obscene thoughts. The difference between animals and ordinary people lies in whether people can suppress these thoughts and not put them into action.

    In fact, he is a mental patient of the American Dream. In a materialistic society, everything is measured by money and status, even to the point where the business card printing method and the availability of high-end hotel locations are repeatedly emphasized.. People are just like this. Going crazy in vanity and senselessness.. The sinking of the money worship society always requires a way of relief, just like smelling the smell of blood in the daily meticulous care of men, it is a tragedy without medicine.

    Crazy Confessions of a Middle Class. Beginning with Bell's daily fitness and skin care products, the daily life of the Wall Street elite slowly unfolded in front of the audience. The clothes, the way of speaking, the way of shaking hands with police officers, and the conversation with strange women are all impeccably refined. The high standardization and materialization have made this group of elites get into the horns. It can only be vented with an imaginary killing. After the madness, they still live their prudent middle-class lives. That's it, do you think it's interesting?

American Psycho quotes

  • [repeated line]

    Patrick Bateman: Just say no.

  • Craig McDermott: If they have a great personality and they're not great looking... then who fucking cares?

    Patrick Bateman: Well, let's just say hypotetically ok? What if they have a great personality?

    [pause, all laugh]

    Patrick Bateman: I know, I know.

    [all in unison]

    Patrick BatemanCraig McDermottDavid Van Patten: There are no girls with good personalities.

    David Van Patten: A good personality consists of a chick with a little hard body, who will satisfy all sexual demands without being too slutty about things, and who essentially will keep her dumb fucking mouth shut.

    Craig McDermott: The only girls with good personalities who are smart or maybe funny or halfway intelligent or talented, though god knows what the fuck that means, are ugly chicks.

    David Van Patten: Absolutely.

    Craig McDermott: And this is because they have to make up for how fucking unnattractive they are.
