In fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others

I watched it twice or three times.

The film amplifies the narcissistic boredom and emptiness of financial practitioners, and the protagonist floats in it and can't get rid of it, as if he doesn't want to get rid of it. If you look closely, you will find that the characters in the film basically don't care about the content of each other's conversations, and almost all the more formal conversations are showing off to each other. If the "game" is lost, then kill them and tear them apart. It seems that at least Bateman doesn't want to enjoy such an environment in his heart. Is this also a kind of romance?

There is a scene where Bateman said that he was working as a murderer and Execution when he was picking up girls at night, and he took the homonym of M&A, but the irony is that the other party is still having the following conversation according to the normal greeting format, saying that they don't care about each other, and the social interaction seems to be written. The program continues to run.

Hypocrisy, boredom, greed, and greed. At present, the humanistic environment of my country's financial industry has also developed to this stage. It's a pity that a good young man is engaged in this line of work

    The depiction of the capitalist world is very vivid! The main part of the male protagonist's daily life is the hard comparison of food and clothing. Even the comments on the record in 3P are like directly picked off from the magazine review section. The indifference between people (the wrong person may not be clear if we kill the wrong person), and the lack of independent thinking and feeling, we are no longer humans, but screws and ants that can be replaced at will in the cement forest.

    The abnormality of the individual originates from the morbid state of society.
