American Psycho (2000)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Absolutely Brilliant!

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I rarely turn off a film, but I did this one after about 20 minutes of cinematic debuachery. It was airing on Epix at 10:30 in the morning. And we wonder why society is going into the abyss with entertainment of this caliber. Enough said.

Things this movie did NOT have: 1. Any sort of helpful background information about the main character 2. An ounce of suspense 3. Good acting 4. A cohesive story that made sense (I am usually okay with this, but it did not work for this movie) 5. Anything to keep me engagedThings this movie did have 1. A well known actor who made people automatically like this movie 2. Obligatory naked chicks 3. Actually decent kill scenes 4. A satisfactory ending 5. Critic orgasms to Christian Bale3 stars instead of 1 for the kill scenes and ending

Shortly, I was really fascinated how quickly I got used to the 'world' of that movie and the characters, I immediately wanted to know about them. The narrative was great and all the events kept me on the edge of my seat. Christian Bale was absolutely amazing and convinced me that he is unstable very well. The ending left me confused and I just wanted to know if it actually happened or it was just a dream. Even though the director said that she was aiming to make it seem very ambiguous, I reckon that it was going more towards the idea of it all being in his head, although I was looking for reassurance. So the director's choices at the end a bit disappointed me. Very excited to read the book, as I did not realise one existed. Great movie.

'talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it' said by the amazing lady gaga herself, who is known for her truth speaking. first thing is first, this movie is not for everyone. it is for those who believe in the psychological breaking of another individual, the harsh complexities of life and the genuine pressure people face. I am a victim of this - like yourselves.get that lettuce out of your mouth, bc you will never be a pat Bateman. do not go and trying to buy Yves saint Laurent bc you will not be able to get it. do not do 1000 crunches bc quite frankly you will not succeed. and for the love oh god 'is that a raincoat?'adios chicas!!!!
