"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!
