Accidentally watched a thrilling suspense movie "American Mental Patient", originally for the handsomeness of the male protagonist, but in this film starring Christian Bell showed the morbid beauty very perfectly, after watching all the bad things he did, he appreciated it, and the wonder of the movie was really amazing.
American Psycho is a thriller suspense film released by Columbia TriStar Films de España S.A., directed by Mary Harlan and starring Christian Bell, Justin Seloxes, Reese Witherspoon and others, released in 2000.
Although this film was released very early, and the male protagonist also mixed well in the film and television circles in Europe and the United States, it is a pity that this theme has spread less in the domestic film and television circles, and most people have not had the opportunity to appreciate this wonderful movie. However, this film is still famous for one of the screenshots, the following picture of the male protagonist slashing people has been popular because of the rampage comic, I believe that many people have stored this picture in their memes.
Although the film is called "American Mentally Ill", it does not focus on the process of mental hospital or treatment, but lets everyone see the process of such a noble Wall Street high-end person under the impact of social decay and culture, Patrick Bateman is a hot stockbroker during the day, handsome and handsome and his father is the company boss, but at night he begins to hunt and kill the single girls he meets.
Until finally Bateman was arrested by the police when he killed people on the street, he felt that he would not be able to escape, he began to call his lawyer friends to tell his experience of killing dozens of people, but he did not expect that the next day Bateman did not find the body in the place where he hid the body, and his lawyer told him that the lawyer himself had seen one of the dead people he claimed, and it turned out that none of the sins he had created had actually happened, only existed in his mind.
This movie really gave me a lot of surprises, in fact, the title of this film hints at the end of this movie, a mental patient must be living in a fantasy, he saw before the case of the "Texas Chainsaw Killer" and pornographic tapes are mixed into his memory, he took these things that did not happen as the real thing.
Although this movie carries the label of suspense and horror, but the protagonist himself is the killer there is no horror scene, this film adds another way to add the male protagonist's perception of music and art before each killing, each time the deceased is killed in Bateman's narration of music, this combination of extreme calm and extreme madness allows the audience to see a new chapter in this type of film, but also makes the film add a deeper charm.
This film does not intuitively tell the reason why Bateman became crazy, but the side tells the fact that his fiancée cheated and he himself cheated, coupled with the excessive drug use and drug proliferation in society, the lack of colored people and female status, this rich second generation has become crazy, it makes sense, the social atmosphere is not very impetuous, the value of people in this context is correspondingly reduced, and the ideas in the male protagonist's heart can be understood a little.
But our audience has not been exposed to the impetuous atmosphere of the End of the Last Century in the United States, although the sharing fungus found the lack of moral cognition of the American people from another movie about killing, "Born to Kill Maniacs", but the spectators and experiencers are still different, simply we were not born in the United States of that era, we can think about the value of human beings with the right attitude in today's China, and after watching this movie, we can also have a sense of modern life.
Friends who like this slightly violent movie must watch this movie, the charm and complex connotation of the characters are indeed very attractive, but underage is still not suitable for watching this movie.
