Reply to comment by Comfortable-Cress362 in American Psycho really is an analysis on how materialistic and shallow modern society is and how its indifference towards each other's pain can affect certain people. [MY ANALYSIS] by thePian0Star

Why? What did I do wrong?

Your take on the movie is almost political messaging. Your take states its society that is to blame, that patrick bateman is a victim. Its ridiculous. The movie is tame, compared to the book it is based on. I suggest you read the book, your take would be different. The movie is basically a dark comedy, not nearly as dark as the book. I do agree with your scoring of the movie. Its a damn good film, I have seen it countless times. If you want to really get into it, read the book!

I mean do you agree about what I said about society, that it is shallow and materialistic and everybody is a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy and that makes some people have the urge to lash out against the very own world that they live in and even then, everybody is just so indifferent to each other's struggles? I know he is a psychopath, it says it right on the name, but the way he agrees he's a sick guy at the end coupled with total disregard that society has towards him makes for a pretty interesting and powerful message, don't you think?

No lol. I dont agree, I dont hate the system or think materialism is bad, nor do I think this movie is trying to convey that.
