American Psycho: Demented & Hilarious

[@Kadin-i4m]

Mary Harron's need to bring Elllis' book to the screen seemed to threaten a searing revision or a visceral, radical defense of the book's malignant sarcasm, but most of "American Psycho" just sits there, looking at trouble, rather than looking for it - smug, overjoyed to exist at all. Harron's most biting scene involves the jealous show-and-tell of business cards between executives which is a sharp substitution for penis envy. Mary Harron is not making an intriguing point as much as she has forged an exercise in getting away with murder. That sense of bleak fun permeates Harron's film; but she takes a lot of Bateman's behavior too seriously for the story to resonate as the satire it is. Mary's approach to the book is castigating and dismayed, as though she reached the last few pages and decided that Patrick had to be stopped.

[@haerverk]

My take is that the "psycho" in the title is not "psychopath" but "psychotic". Having had a few drug induced psychotic episodes off of amphetamines in my younger years; I would literally be drawing for hours while "dreaming" yet actually physically awake, having no idea that it didn't really happen until having a shocking moment of clarity afterwards. Literally like waking up from a vivid dream. What were those pills they keep showing him taking? Imma put my money on amphetamine derivatives. Doesn't mean he never killed anyone, as many psychotics commit murder during an episode. But it's certainly hinted that most of the film is pure deranged fantasy. So all in all; unsubscribed..

[@DVincentW]

American Psycho was written by a woman.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Yeah! It was Mary Harron and the actress who plays Patrick’s friend, she co-wrote the film 🙌
