Review of American Psycho (2000) by Adnan_Soysal — 11 Apr 2021

I like the subject of the movie, particularly this confession at the end scene reflecting the moral story of it.

" My pain is constant and sharp. And I do not hope a better world for anyone.

In fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. ".

But I am not sure if the cast, acting, camera , music were overwhelmingly supporting this moral message.

Though there were a couple of scenes I loved.

One was when Patrick wants to kill Jean scene where he says "Put it in the carton" to Jean warning for the spoon she was going to put on the table.

I love this about his obsession with order and neatness. This was also a reflection about his concerns about his face, body, dressing that he is putting so much energy for the life style his surrounding expect him to be.

Another scene was when Patrick and his business friends showing off their business cards he goes mad with jealousy , because Paul Allens card looks better.

There should have been more scenes showing off Patrick's greed, jealousy, and resentment in more horrifying but also subtle way.

And he also hates himself for all this But the link between his hate of himself, and his murders were not strong.

Also about the cast, I have doubts if Christian Bale was the right person for this movie.

I think only two characters were ahead of others giving more enjoyment.
