The gold and the jade are on the surface, the defeat is on the inside

Many mental patients have strange hobbies. Bateman is a typical dual personality mental patient. He loves work more than ordinary people, and he loves killing like a demon. At work, even if he has no real power, he still works and socializes every day. On the other hand, he has a sense of ritual when killing people. He has a lot of gloves and raincoats. Even if he finds his goal is GAY, he will wash his gloves. This is enough to see. He is a principled murderer. During the killing, he was very perverted, very cruel, very creative, and very artistic. It is a likable murderer, but this image also alludes to the respectable beasts in society. This kind of beasts in clothing is like the Bateman in the movie. They live very delicately in the eyes of others. They are always dressed in fake and glamorous coats, but their personality is utterly ruined. His mind was filled with jealousy, perverted, obscene thoughts. The difference between animals and ordinary people lies in whether people can suppress these thoughts and not put them into action.

    The problem now is that I have watched this movie for ten years and I still remember countless details of the plot. But why did you leave the ending and didn't watch it? It would make no sense to return the dish if you woke up in a daze.

    Ken Dansig says Mary Harlan's directorial thinking is fascinating. Indeed, the film is extremely bizarre in that she has created an image that is both repulsive and energetic and charming, and behind it is the mental illness of celebrity and emptiness, full of irony. The details are quite good, spelling business cards, bathing procedures, obsessive-compulsive disorder... Bell's performance is also wonderful, and he can interpret emotions with the most subtle changes in expressions on a crazy night.
