re: American Psycho

quote:

It is actually a satire of American capitalist culture.

It's one of the greatest portrayals of high stress high greed 80s business culture ever made.

From the customers to the lawyers to the employees and corporations. Just everything.

Also, every line in the damn movie is amazing.

I'm particularly fond of Batman, a homicidal Psycho who has lost touch with reality spouting this line off to the rich dipshits talking about bullshite problemstin other countries:


Bateman: Come on, Bryce. There are a lot more important problems than Sri Lanka to worry about.
Bryce: Like what?
Bateman: Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.
