I've thrown on American Psycho like two more times in the background since watching it cause it's short and it's really reslly funny to me and just like... I like that movie a lot I think. Not even because it's particularly good or profound or anything I just think it's really fucking funny. Christian Bale acts like a psychopath for about an hour and a half and delivers the most fucking bullshit absurd sentences like he REALLY believes them. "Cool it with the antisemitic remarks" and "STUPID BITCHEE" are lines said by the same character. The short soliloquy he says where he goes "I'm not really there" is a great little blurb about dissociation to me and I really like it and I cannot ever use it anywhere because it's spoken by fucking Patrick Bateman who goes on violent misogyny-fueled killing spree like 30 minutes later. This movie is so fucking funny.
#sairambles#american psycho#like I'm sure you COULD sit down and analyze it easily#it's a deep satire piece#but like that's not what I'm doing#I just think it's REALLY funny LMAO#never gonna get over that first watch where I had NO idea it was satire at first somehow#so I'm sitting there like “What the fuck dude this guy SUCKS”#he's like sympathetic for maybe 2 entire seconds and just rapidly becomes the fucking worst#it's such good acting/over-acting in parts that really lends itself to the satirical genre#like in any other context I think it would suck?#Idk I'm just rambling now
