Feed me a stray cat.

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2019)

I love this movie. And I don't say I love it just like others say they love your shoes or your cheap haircut or maybe your business card.
No. I love it by every little tiny piece it exists off.
I love every frame, every sound, every dialogue, every character and every situation they find themselves in. Just every little detail you'll find after watching it for the twentieth time and still don't got bored by it.
I love the absurdity the world is displayed with and how it still remindes us of the hypocritical western civilization we live in. (especially nowadays with all that social media stuff going on)
To me the reason why this movie doesn't bore me, no matter how often I watch it, is that, just like Patrick Bateman says in the movie, it is an idea it doesn't really exist but it's an projection of something we all can more or less relate to. I really don't know anybody that doesn't think the world around him is going crazy from time to time.
And all though of course the average person doesn't walk around killing people and feeding stray cats to ATMs we nevertheless all built this "American Psycho" persona in our head to cope with all that's going on around us and at least somehow gain control over it. Even though this control is just an illusion in our head. The question to me is: how much of this psycho in our heads is in our real selves?
Sorry I have to return some video tapes now.
