First of all I want to address any little idiots who say that this movie is favored by homosexuals. I am not a homosexual and I enjoyed this film. I didn't concentrate on the characters clothes or their vanity. But if a reviewer noticed "gay" undertones , then that reviewer should check himself for having "gay awareness".
I was more interested in the characters actions and personalities, the story and the mind of this unassuming, successful yuppie, Patrick Bateman.
This movie is so well written that even the script is fun to read. This movie was directed brilliantly. Its one of those lingering films that lets you come up with your own conclusion.
The folks that don't enjoy this movie are folks who like movies that dont stimulate the mind, they rather watch Van Wilder or some dumb movie that actually lowers your I.Q. while watching.
What brought me to this film was my interest in serial killers and true crime. Real life serial killers are way more frigthening than a Michael Myers who you can shoot with a Desert Eagle and wont die, or Jason from Friday the 13th, etc.
Serial Killers are real, your neighbor, your co-worker, anyone could be sitting next to you wondering what your lungs look like...."on a stick". American Psycho brings you into the mind of this yuppie who can't control his desire to murder. What makes the story unique is that his circle of friends and co-workers are so self-absorbed in their own world of vanity that no one bothers to notice Patrick Bateman's behavior. Not even his girlfriend (played by Reese Witherspoon).
I enjoyed this film a lot and if you have an interest in serial killers and mass murderers watch this film. Come up with your own conclusion.
This movie is so interesting that there are website discussions on the film. I recommend this film for it's style, story and main character.
A DVD must have. |
