a great movie that delves in the psyche of man

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2006)

Sometimes, I cannot amaze myself enough of how a female director can understand the mind of men, so eloquently. In such, this is one of those violent movies that breathes a certain plastic beauty about it. It's not the kind of a plastic beauty that comes from a Scorsese movie, for Scorsese uses editing purposes to achieve that. For Mary Harron, this could be for her of a defining picture. It seems so good, that it relatively has no flaws. But we have not probably yet seen the full capacity of Harron as a director, the masterpiece could still be in the works.
What intrigues me is the very "how" of what makes her actually tick about men, despite the fact that American Psycho is an adaptation of an painstakingly horrible book written by Brett E. Ellis. It explains the huge difference it can make from one medium to another. To be honest from it's own writing style, it's a very sh--ty book. Not even amusing for one single bit. You throw it out even after ten pages.
It looks likes Harron can be very faithful to the novel's mentality, but adding on her foremost philosophy on men, coming from her own views. The movie is very crude in depicting the nothingness of male yuppies, living in the dystopia of N.Y. Everybody knows that new-yorkers are despicable bastards on their own time. And this shows this stereotype as it was evident, like morning daylight. Rich people don't have a speck of guilt in their whole f---ing beings, bourgeois and ignorant a--holes, who act like they own everybody, even the bums. This is what makes this movie bring out the just psychosis of it all.
You absolutely need to see this movie,a must. Then take my word for it, because it's one more good reason : i'm a goddamn proved literary genius.
