Scrutinize the details in the movie

According to many details in the movie, it can be found that the male protagonist has hallucinations, and it can be inferred that the murder is subjectively created by the male protagonist.

1. There is a paragraph of English in the ATM machine, and it is obviously unreal to ask the male protagonist to feed a stray cat to the ATM machine. 2. The male protagonist always treats employees as domineering. If this is true, the secretary must not dare to dig through things without authorization. 3. Allen's house has been renovated, and there are so many corpses in it. As a result, there is no movement at all. Normally, there is news at all, and the police will check on the spot. The landlady will not be so calm and immediately talk to the new tenant, and express It wasn't Allen's home before. 4. After a dozen people were shot and killed in the street, helicopters were dispatched, but there were no police reinforcements. 5. One person shoots a bunch of cops and causes a car explosion. Movies don't dare to shoot like this. 6. When Allen was dragged out the door in the lobby, there was an obvious blood trail on the ground, but the movie never mentioned this key clue afterwards. 7. There are scenes of the male protagonist and his friends knocking fans, and the murder scene may also be caused by the male protagonist having too many fans and causing hallucinations. 8. After the male protagonist told the lawyer, there was no reply from the lawyer on the other end of the phone. After meeting with the lawyer, the lawyer obviously did not believe what he said. He said: The male protagonist is a cowardly person. He then continued talking to the others as if nothing had happened. This shows that no one can prove that the male protagonist has killed people, including lawyers. 9. Then the picture came to the male protagonist's office. His female secretary was looking through the male protagonist's things and pulled out a notebook full of the crime scenes drawn by the male protagonist. This is likely to show that all the murders are imagined by the male protagonist, he dared to think but dared not do it, and finally wrote these fantasies in a notebook. Also, the movie is titled: American Psycho. The male protagonist may be suffering from schizophrenia, and his fantasies may exist in his vision, so he thinks he has murdered.

I didn't understand it at first, I thought about it for a long time. Only then did I realize that the movie was satirizing the money-lover and money-first concept in American society. A hotel that can never be booked represents an unattainable pinnacle of power or an unmet material need. Extreme vanity includes competing with each other for business cards, and the male protagonist bragging about his musical insights. The male protagonist even became jealous because other people's business cards were better than his own and planned to kill in the toilet. The male protagonist's multiple personalities, grinning but not smiling, pays special attention to men's care, etc., even satirizes the different appearances of beasts in society, and they are two-faced.

    Why doesn’t it have a four-and-a-half-star score? It’s a good film. The shooting technique is average, but Christian Bale’s acting is so terrific. I personally feel that it surpasses his performance in a mechanic, and compares that paranoid love and jealousy love with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Perhaps the interpretation of Psycho, who has delusions, is too good. There is also the subject matter. The irony of the film happens to be what I despise the most. It accidentally suits my appetite. Anyway, it is a good film.

    The theme of [American Psychopath] is the destruction of human personality and mental state by consumerism. This superficial theme is really not suitable for fictional plots to support. After all, it is a long-standing difficulty to use aesthetics to show superficiality. But the movie ended up being so hilarious that it should have relied on Bell's crazy performance. The weakest part of the film is the ending, which gradually slips into a state of obscurity. The more the characters get caught up in the air, the more the film should remain calm and objective, so that the final effect can be chilling.
