American Psycho

American Psycho was one of the first movies I have ever watched that made me love films, even before it become the cultural icon it is now. Obviously Patrick Bateman is just so compelling to watch and Christian Bale gives a generational performance. Something most people don’t mention are the abrupt transitions in time and settings, to me it just feels like Patrick zoning out, just waiting to rerelease his bloodlust and terrible thoughts, he wants so desperately for his life to be interesting so we skip over all the boring stuff. At least that’s a fun way to look at it.
