American Psycho

How have I never given this movie a written review before? This is in the running for my all time favorite movie. It’s genuinely hilarious in almost every way possible. Bateman is such a ridiculous character, everything that comes out of his mouth is just comedy. I love how serious Bale plays it too. How the fuck did he not crack up doing that stupid fucking point while talking about how good Huey Lewis and the News are? Or the business card scene? I love how this movie uses ridiculous situations to actually make a point of how shallow and ridiculous these Wall Street guys were and still are. And how one man strives for success at all levels of his existence, but seems to go unnoticed. Why does Bateman go unnoticed? Because everyone in this movie is the same person. They could have made sequels about Batemans couple of friends and I guarantee they are having the same psychological meltdown that he is, maybe not murder “fantasy” (I say this in quotes because was any of it real) but maybe something else. Patrick Bateman is not at all cool. He’s a fucking maniac. The Wolf of Wall Street does something similar, the main difference is Jordan Belfort is “cool.” The point remains the same: fuck those Wall Street assholes and fuck capitalism for making them crave money, success and notoriety. Now, let’s see Paul Allen’s card.
