Loneliness creates madness

Suzanne 2021-10-13 13:07:47

This is a black society satire that describes urban life in the United States in the late 1980s. Bateman is a favorite of Wall Street, a hot stockbroker, handsome, charming, and humorous in conversation. He is a young and promising man who makes countless dollars for his clients every day. But when night fell, the boundless terror of darkness awakened the other side of Bateman's dual character. He kidnapped the prey one by one to his luxurious apartment, tortured little by little, watching the blood slowly pouring out, the prey dying in pain, and an inexplicable pleasure attacked him.

He is a handsome Wall Street elite, narcissistic and sensitive compared to everything, doing his best to show perfection, from dressing to every word and deed, everything is exquisite to impeccable. It's just a standard performance social life, and the vanity and vanity indulging in materialism can't solve his inner sense of loneliness and alienation. The human heart, who has nowhere to relax under the torrent of material desires, sinks into the abyss of mania and emptiness. Only after madness can he return to normal and continue his prudent middle-class life during the day.

American Psycho quotes

  • Patrick Bateman: Howard, it's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You're my lawyer so I think you should know: I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown uh, some homeless people maybe 5 or 10 um an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh some old faggot with a dog last week. I killed another girl with a chainsaw, I had to, she almost got away and uh someone else there I can't remember maybe a model, but she's dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe 20 people, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of it, uh some of the girls have seen the tapes. I even, um... I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time. I guess I'll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh, I mean I guess I'm a pretty sick guy. So, if you get back tomorrow, I may show up at Harry's Bar, so you know, keep your eyes open.
