Of course, perverts with noble aura must keep killing talents. So this film. . . To say nausea is also very disgusting. The bloody girls' bodies in the high-end apartment are lined up, and the heads and desserts coexist in the refrigerator. The weapons used to kill people included knives and guns, as well as chainsaws and axes. I was so scared that I screamed when I was watching the film. According to phone calls between him and his lawyer, he killed 20-40 people.
However, it is also fun to say that it is fun. Bateman killed people out of unsatisfied desires, despair and pain he couldn't get rid of. His despair and pain stem from the embarrassment of not being able to book a seat in a high-end restaurant, or the jealousy when he sees his colleagues print business cards that are more beautiful than him. A colleague showed him his newly printed business card in a show. He was very excited after seeing it. The jealous viper bit his heart. He tried to strangle the guy in the bathroom, but the guy turned around tenderly and kissed his hand, telling his heart that I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I noticed the look you look at me, your hot body. . . Since the cocktail party in Arizona in 2006, you wore a burgundy Armani tie that day. . . Bateman seized the door and fled. Really embarrassing. In fact, Batemen and his girlfriend have been affair for a long time. Very funny black humor.
Black humor is a feature of this film. Bateman killed his colleague Paul Allen out of jealousy, and then went to Paul's house to pack up Paul's clothing, pretending to be Paul on a business trip to London. He found that Paul's apartment was in a better location than his, obviously more expensive. So I was greatly stimulated. Later, he used Paul's apartment as a base for his dismemberment of the girl. Once a blonde call girl said that your apartment was better than your other, he was very angry. He later killed her with a chainsaw. By the way, the actor who played this girl is the violinist in Adaptation and the Polish girlfriend of his brother in The Savages.
The narrative is quite satisfactory. The plot routine is similar to: Big handsome guy = (Elegant gentleman during the day; Murderer at night) x N (N> 10). Fortunately, the means and motives of killing are not single. Sometimes there is no motivation at all. And as the plot deepens, the number of murders per unit time has risen sharply.
Just watching Christian Bale is very interesting. He plays pop music every time he kills, and he loves records and singles. Before killing, he ran to the bathroom, put on his raincoat, picked up the axe, stepped on the Moonwalk, and came to the living room, twisted and danced with the music, fastened the raincoat button carefully, and then-split the guy's head with the axe. Ah, it's so scary. His words and deeds are full of grace, and his smile is irresistible. A model came out of the club with him at night and said on the side of the road: There's something sweet about you... He smiled softly and handsomely. The two took a taxi home, and then, no accident, he killed her.
This movie is interesting at the end, otherwise it falls into the same cliche as other murderer stories. With that ending, you start to wonder if he killed those people, you start to doubt everyone in that society, you even start to sympathize with Patrick Bateman. Then I kind of understood the meaning of the title (also the name of the novel) "American Psycho". The importance of the word American suddenly became apparent, even surpassing "Psycho". Although "Psycho" is very eye-catching.
This is not a mere murder story. It covers the director (or Bret Easton Ellis, the author of the original novel, to be precise) towards the elite life in American society in the 80 years. Said that this attitude is nothing more than a denial and criticism of the morally degraded world of money worship. However, the author is ingenious and insists on telling his story from such an extreme starting point. This hand reminds me of what Kevin Spacey said in the Seven Deadly Sins: Wanting people to listen, you cannot tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, then you'll immediately see you've got their straight Attention.
Perhaps people were smashed over the head by a hammer. When this book was published in 1991, it caused some controversy. However, it is said that at the end of the 1990s, everyone gradually accepted the author's point of view, so the film was finally able to start shooting. Some Trivias are a bit interesting, for example, Edward Norton took the role; Leonardo DiCaprio once expressed interest in the role but finally did not participate in the role; Christian Bale stood on the side of the stereo before killing Paul Allen and twisted a few times to improvise Yes; when filming the scene where he was taking a shower, all the women on the set gathered to watch.
Um. In short it is very powerful. Very abnormal and powerful. When I watched The Dark Knight, I always wondered how this guy who played the American murderer would be fancyed to play Batman. By the way, Christian Bale is an Englishman, or to be precise, a Welshman. American actors rarely have temperament of this scale.
