Crazy

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2000)

This movie is a hard one to pin down. I liked it, but was it really a good movie? What standards does a "good" movie have to meet? I don't know, personally, but the movie is entertaining no matter how you look at it. I won't go into the plot, you can read it in any of the other 8million comments about this movie. But, I will tell you what I liked about.
I think Bale does an awesome job here as Bateman. I'm confused by the fact that no one around him even slightly suspects that he is totally insane. You can tell he's nuts just by looking at him for a second. I don't think the violence or sex was any more graphic than any other movie of this genre. I think the drawn out speeches on various music from the 1980's was hilarious and very well thought out. Bateman is a character that a lot of people will actually like. I'm not sure why I liked him...he WAS insane, but I did. I cared about what happened to him in the end, because it seemed as tho he was really suffering from a mental illness.
The movie is very confusing...you have no idea what is real and what isn't, and the ending doesn't help solve any of the questions you have about the happenings in the film, but it works despite all of this. It's a good film, and I'd recommend it. It's definitely not like any movie you have seen.
