True or false does not matter

by. Yang Ye,

an elite who works on Wall Street, leads an orderly life, fitness, maintenance, and entertainment, and he is in the upper class society like a fish in water. He looks very good, but he has a bloodthirsty soul that cannot be restrained. Once provoked, he does not hesitate to use all kinds of tools to kill. The methods are cruel, and his heart is numb... The
ridiculous thing is that the things that irritate him are often too small. It's not worth mentioning: I can't book the location of a certain hotel, and my business card is not as exquisite as others...The elites of the upper class compare these trivial details every day, and even become so angry that they use an ax to chop off the heads of "friends".
This is probably the so-called black humor.
In groups, comparison is often indispensable. People are divided into groups. Being in a certain group means that their living standards are generally equivalent, but there are still subtle differences among them, and people have negative emotions such as resentment, jealousy, and dissatisfaction...
"American Spirit" "Patient" just magnifies this dark side.
The white room, simple layout, in such a space, the powerful impact caused by blood is unforgettable for a long time.
Both you and me have such flaws, but the reason why people are human is because they can control themselves.

    For the first time, the actor's temperament does not go against the character's identity. Batman, who keeps looking at him, wants to step on his face. Both his and Keanu's face masks are hybrid phenotypes that I want to keep getting negative scores.

    Perhaps the first time I watched it was just for Bell’s crazy performance, but the rewatch is more focused on its core: Bateman is capitalism, chattering about the personal care steps and the characteristics of cosmetics after waking up every day, in murder or tyrannical behavior The former exaggerated his understanding and cognition of music, and compared the printing and fonts of business cards with his colleagues in the vice president. It was a kind of loss that was completely indulged in consumerism and completely materialized interpersonal communication. Emotions and desires are in an environment of worshipping money. Distorted in the middle, the film ends with everyone watching Reagan's speech on Iran Gate at the club, which is very dark.
