American Psycho

I am writing this review after watching the movie Ever for the first time and after a long time thinking about what I was watching for about half an hour. To get the obvious out of the way, Christian Bale “tops” the role. Incredible portrayal of the psychopathic killer and the constant alternation of his mental state. Whatever I say will be little for what he presented to us, unreachable performance. Now, in general, the film deals with Patrick Bateman, a rich kid in the late 80s, a narcissist, a "perfectionist" (in many quotes) and a psychopath, where despite the rich lifestyle and the image of a decent, fit, rich and generally successful playboy, he hides the persona of a psychopath, crazy and sociopathic murderer where he finds meaning and pleasure in his life by killing other people. The film acrobats between reality and fantasy and leaves much of it to be understood that what you see is not really happening. The way Patrick easily escapes the chase with the cops, the empty apartment of Paul at the end of the film and the frequent confusion of the protagonist's identity with another rich guy, shows that this persona of the madman who kills prostitutes with chainsaws while chasing them naked and covered in blood, is simply in his mind. I don't want to expand further but I believe that after his final confession at the end, the film winks at him that all this was "made up" ... In the end, I can't say that these types of films are my style. I can't have such vagueness in the script, where it gives everyone the right to interpret the film in a thousand and two ways. It was like watching a wannabe Tarantino comedy-thriller where he had a serious identity crisis...
