Movie didn't interest me when it came out, avoided it until now, and honestly, I don't get the hype. The first hour was really good but the movie just fell apart in the last 30 minutes. Am I missing something?

yeah, it's not actually a very clever film at all. it's only message is that yuppies are empty people and the twist at the end is that Bateman was just fantasizing about being a psycho because of how bored he was.

it's remembered for the memes.

Actually its message is that the oncoming society is emasculating men and making them seek their lost control in any way they can.

American Psycho is about living double lives.

Anyone who has actually read the book knows it's better. That being said, the movie is still pretty good. Bale's performance is certainly worth watching.

>>70090398

If you think the movie was bad read the book. It is literally the worst thing I've ever read.

5% plot

It's shit.

I agree. It starts to become less satire and more slasher once he makes that first kill. Everything peaks with the ax murder and just become more redundant after

If you didnt think the book was hilarious you are a pleb.

One great thing about the film is its cinematography, specifically how the scenes are meticulously framed. It's a very fertile area for critical analysis. Many of the scenes are so gorgeously framed they appear like great paintings.

even him chasing a hooker naked through an apartment complex with a chainsaw? I thought that was for sure a fantasy. Someone would have at least stepped out of their apartment.
>>
>>70096395

Normal people go to great lengths to not acknowledge the bad things around them. Like the apartment lady near the end, she damn well knows what happened in that apartment and that it was Bateman who did it, but it's easier for her to just ignore it.

" Harold, it's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You're my lawyer so I think you should know: I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown uh, some homeless people maybe 5 or 10 um an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh some old faggot with a dog last week. I killed another girl with a chainsaw, I had to, she almost got away and uh someone else there I can't remember maybe a model, but she's dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe 20 people, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of it, uh some of the girls have seen the tapes. I even, um... I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time. I guess I'll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh, I mean I guess I'm a pretty sick guy. So, if you get back tomorrow, I may show up at Harry's Bar, so you know, keep your eyes open."

Anyone know why his eyes are different colours in the very last shot? i swear they were different colous when i watched it, as well as the lawyers eyes who he talks to at the end, but i was also really high

True, but it's a theme the book addresses a number of time. How Bateman would do awful things to people and right in front of them and they'd know but refuse to acknowledge it.
