American Pyscho


American Pyscho which is a movie that came out in 2000, goes along perfectly with my blog. This is a movie about an investment banker/ serial killer. This movie starts off just about this wealthy man who has this perfect job and he has an obession with his image. There is even a scene where he and a few of his colleagues are all sitting around a table showing off all of their business cards. They are very specific with the type of white they choose and type of font. Personally I couldn't tell the difference of any of them besides the different names on the card but to Patrick, the main character of the movie, he actually starts sweating because of his anger that someone elses card was considered nicer than his.
This movie starts off slow but then makes a huge turn around. It turns into alot of blood, murder, strange comments, and rape. At a bar scene Patrick is trying to get a bartenders attention but since it took her a while to get him his drink he tells her, something along the lines of, I want to stab you to death and play around with your blood. Patrick's absurd comments are always ignored, for some reason noone pays any attention to them.Meanwhile he ends up killing a bum, a colleague, two prostitutes and a few other people. He even tries confessing to his lawyer one night but he won't even listen to him, the lawyer thinks he is just joking.
By day Patrick was a normal business man but at night he descends into a world of madness, as he experiments with fear and violence. He doesn't just shoot his victims he tortures them, he took an axe to a man in one scene, he runs after a woman with a chainsaw in another. He is a sick man but noone will open their eyes to it.
