American Psycho- 2000’s
For my movie from the 2000’s, I chose to watch American Psycho. I have mixed feelings on this movie and was a little disappointed. The whole thing was extremely disturbing and just strange. I have always been into movie’s that fit under the horror genre and have always loved gory, scary movies. I enjoy the thrill they give its viewers and thought that was what I was getting out of American Psycho. Christian Bale, who I usually love, played the main character. I think he fit the main character, Patrick Bateman, very well because of his serious, mysterious and disturbing personality. The whole movie, he acted very controlling, not personable and used his money to his advantage. The whole thing was a little confusing because he never explained why he felt the need to kill, he just did. He killed people throughout the whole movie who rubbed him the wrong way. Anyone he felt was a bother or more successful than he was, he killed. He killed pretty much everyone he came in contact with and it was just disturbing, plain and simple. There was no plot to the movie. Christian Bale played a character that was extremely successful, yet miserably unhappy in the life he was living and the only sense of fulfillment he got was by killing, and I don’t know where in the movie it explained his intentions for killing. Towards the end of the movie he went on a complete killing spree and then came forward to his lawyer who never believed him. I got confused towards the end because it seemed like he was being set up the whole time, yet even though he killed so many people and came clean about it, no one ever believed him, which I didn’t quite understand. Overall, I didn’t love this movie and would not recommend it to anyone.
