"Sabrina, don't just stare at it. Eat it."
I was yesterday years old when I watched American Psycho in its entirety for the first time. I am familiar with the business card scene and some references but still hadn't seen it in full.
This film feels like a fever dream. I understand why it's studied and imitated in many ways in the art and film world. The details in this film is insane. The script is sharp and compelling and the casting was a cherry on top. (William Dafoe - my fav)
The pacing is quick and it doesn't have the fluff that some films have but don't need. I loveeee that this film shows and doesn't tell
and in moments it feels like we are discovering in real time what his victims are going through. Patrick Batemans long tangents on music is the only real thing we understand that he enjoys (besides killing, fucking and drinking.) The use of internal monologue actually makes sense in this film and it's not a cop out to explain some back story as to why he is the way he is. And quite frankly, does anyone want to know? We discover facts and tidbits as we go through his daily life of being an asshole.
Christian Bale's sociopathic stare needs to be studied because that was way too good (lmao).
My rec is to rewatch it. Report back.
P.S. get a new business card!

This movie is a hard watch. Itโs not particularly well directed or anything, but the story is just insane. Iโve only watched it once and will probably never watch it again, but it has come to mind maybe once a week since I watched it around 3 years ago. An honorable mention would also be Donnie Darko, but Iโve watched that movie like 12 times now, so I think it makes sense. Iโll go through phases where itโs just on my mind a lot and Iโll watch it like 3 times in 24 hours lol.
