American Psycho

[Gray Fox]

So what the hell do you people think of this movie.
IMO it's one of the best movies ever, and Christian bale is one of the best actors ever. So what the hell did you all like or not like about it, ot find interesting.

 

[X-FacToR]

I liked it, wish the sequel *ack* was any good.

 

[KoreBolteR]

very good film!

yup, christian bale is a good actor.

 

[jimbo118]

sequel?

i liked it,bale was awesome,the scene where all the businessmen are showing each other their cards was hilarious

 

[IonizeMyAtoms]

I really like it, if you haven't read the book definitely read it.

Jim, the sequel has a girl from 70s show in it and was straight to video. You couldn't pay me to watch it.

 

[Gray Fox]

First) I do not know if I'd like the book, simply cause those murders are described so I would feel that much symphaty for bateman and plus One of the things that really amused me about the movie was the expressions on bales's face, he is such a good actor.

Second) Didn't Bateman kill Paul Alllen with a axe to the face.

'I have to return some video tapes" :naughty:


The ending confused the hell outta me though

Spoiler

So, were all the murders in his head? And he was just insane?

Spoiler

My friend insists that the whole thing was covered up by his lawyer...but I say otherwise. I think it was all in his head and he's nuts

Best line of the move:

"HEY PAUL!!!"

 

[xLostx]

Yeah this was a good movie, pretty crazy, just too bad the sequel was complete crapppppppp

 

[Recoil]

American Psycho was really great, Bale's one of my Top5 actors!

...I think he really murdered all the people, yes, while the end is rather illusional.

 

[oldagerocker]

I thought this film was very very odd... i guess it was supposed to be.
Entertaining film though, although i didnt think it was voilent enough, i expected allot more.

 

[Recoil]

Maybe you saw a cut version? I found it to be rather violent...

It's all in his head. Read the book.

To guy who said he didn't want to read the book because of sympathy for Bateman (?) (heh, Bateman, Batman... I suck). The book makes you even less sympathetic towards him as you know what's going on in his head even more than in the movie. He's just twisted and it's great

 

[Bohonkie]

The book isn't conclusive either way. I've read it, I've discussed it, there's no indication that what happens is true or not. Ellis wrote the book in such a way that it was open to the reader. I happen to agree with you, that it was all in his head, but it can easily be taken the other way, depending on how you look at the novel and what message Ellis was intending to portray. It probably has a lot more meaning if you believe that all the murders took place, ironically.

 

[Gray Fox]

I believe they did take place. The reason those bodiesi n the house were coverd up is because it would have ruined the business of that woman, I mean 6 dead bodies found in a rich appartement buillding, that would have put her out of business, no one would wanna live there if it was that unsafe, and as far as the lawyer go's, we'll he talkes almost every week with bateman but still does not recognize him, he is just an idiot.

Oh yeah and my favorite part is that when he killes paul allan.

But I especially like the fact that it's so funny, this is the only movie where I find the murders funny, mean I never laugh when someone gets killed, not even in comedies, but here it's just hilarius.

I don't think that a killing spree that big could be covered up that easily. Not to mention the killing started getting unrealistic there at the end. He was totally going insane. The ATM said, "Feed me a stray cat" for god's sake He just started firing randomly at 3 cop cars and they all explode. Choppers circling, dead people all over the place, dead COPS. That's too big to simply cover up and brush under the rug in one night....and I know something about cover ups.. :naughty:

 

[Gray Fox]

Okay you do have a point. But still we can agree that the lawyer is an idiot.

I watched a biography on Easton-Ellis. It's all in his head. Plus the thing about "Feed me stray cat" and whatnot, as outlined by someone above me
Easton-Ellis is such a great writer, I love Less Than Zero, and I've only seen the Rules of Attractions, I can't seem to find the book. But some of the dialogue in it leads me to believe it's lifted from the book (especially at the beginning, where Sean's inner-thoughts turn third person like in the American Psycho novel when he's running from the cops)

 

[Bohonkie]

All I'm saying is that the author wrote it in such a way as to leave it open to interpretation. Just because you have read the book does not mean that you have further information. I havn't seen the movie, but the book definately leaves it open.

I enjoyed it much.
