I, being the regular downloader of r(a) non porn movies, finally managed to catch american pyscho. it's a slasher flick with style. there's retro 80s music (david bowie! huey lewis!), gelled hair, sharp suits and big blonde hair. christian bale is this guy who is the perfect model of a metrosexual, abeit an emotionally depraved one. he's rich, goodlooking and has great taste in clothes. also he kills people who happen to have prettier business cards as him. anyway after killing about like 30 hapless people he breaks down and confesses his crime. that's where it gets a bit confusing. the guy he believes he's killed is actually still alive. and then the movie ends. anyway i don't really get it. i believe that the movie and the book are about the capitalism and greed of that decade and how society makes people soulless and without identity. the best part of the show is when he goes to the atm and picks up a stray cat and the atm machine says FEED ME A STRAY CAT. so he points a gun at the cat and i am totally horrified but luckily an old woman shouts at him and gets killed instead. his killing rampage is strangely satisfying. it only goes to show how desensitised to violence i am. haha. well now go and download the movie! or get the book by Bret Easton Ellis. i love his name..
