The movie is good. The ending is a little unclear . It pulls on 4.5 points firmly

I like this movie. Such a peculiar, sometimes hypertrophied way of showing the perception of life by the main character. And in the finale, sit and think about whether the character dreamed the whole story or not.

@Hatjkva: everything is pretty straightforward. It was in his head.

06 Jun 2023, 00:08 #

A great film adaptation, a lot of work has been done on the script. It's incredibly hard to read the book, but the film has organized everything

A wonderful film, one of the best roles of Christian Bale. After watching it with the help of Google, I was looking for an explanation for what I did not understand and it turned out that there were many interesting moments that I did not pay attention to when watching. I don't write them here because it may turn out to be a spoiler, but articles are easily Googled

@Qzzznetsov: I recommend the 2018 video in English "Analyzing Willem Dafoe in American Psycho". According to the creator of the video analysis, in that film, 3 "takes" were shot with W. Defoe (more precisely, a series of takes) for each of the three dialogue scenes of the two characters (the investigator Defoe and the businessman Bail). W. Defoe played a separate character in each "take" with the investigator's attitude towards the businessman (spoiler:(and his crime, the murder of a business colleague)): 1- trusting (oblivious), 2- suspicious (suspicious), 3- confident in his guilt (aware). And in the final montage, the director mixed all three images, three series of takes.
(by the way, I haven't watched the movie yet).

@SolveChessPuzzle: thank you) Very entertaining

24 Oct 2023, 23:18 #

we are all a little Patrick, getting out of control of our minds and emotions during a difficult period of our lives, that we even want to kill someone annoying

14 Nov 2023, 02:02 #

It will still be necessary to read the book, because there are a lot of questions for the film ...
There is also an opinion that Aranovski or Fincher would have shot better🤔🤔

The film is just incredibly exciting! Christian Bale is just amazing at playing a psychopath, and the plot itself is so unpredictable. The director's work is also on top, such an atmosphere is created that there are no words. And anyway, a mix of thriller, drama and black comedy is something! Take a look, you won't regret it.

An entertaining picture. In some places it is quite surreal, in some places it is extremely serious. I will not list the banal advantages, many before me said that the acting and the script were done perfectly, I agree with this. But I would like to note the open, and rather incomprehensible, message of the work. Whether what he saw is true or not, how sick the protagonist is, how he got to this point. These questions add value to the film, and even after more than twenty years, it looks good.

The film is not bad in general, but the almost one-voice Russian dubbing killed everything

01 Jun 2024, 19:44 #

It's a pretty unusual movie.
The ending actually killed me. Either it was a dream, or it was the truth..
In general, a solid foursome, a strangely unusual movie will go with a beer in the evening)

It's impressive. Very good... Now let's watch a Paul Allen movie

The film is much deeper than it might seem at first glance)
For careful viewing.🧐
Christian is incomparable here! A talented and hardworking actor👍🏼🌟

The movie made me dream, but I watched it. Trying to confuse the viewer, the film itself got confused in what it wanted to say. No idea, no morality, no plot.

An unusual film, with good musical accompaniment. If you pay attention to the little things, it will be clear that this is all imagination.

The book, by the way, bullshit, the movie turned out better.

Thanks to Grandpa for the memes

Because the movie is iconic, I knew the whole plot in advance. And I just closed the gestalt

14 May 2025, 16:06 #

Bale, of course, played divinely.

24 May 2025, 00:47 #

I watched the movie and I liked everything, I thought I'd put 5/5. But after the moment with the kitten and the ATM, everything turns into some kind of incoherent nonsense, and that's a shame, because the actors are really good and the story is interesting. 4/5

It seems to be good and at the same time.... What did I see just now? 🙈

I love every movie that Christian Bale plays in, and this one is on top! 😃🤚🏻

We watched the movie with the whole family and none of us was thrilled. Everything was shot cool, even in 2025 it was well preserved. The actors are also very cool, but we all have a question about what is happening on the screen. After watching it, I watched the analysis of this film and more or less understood everything. But it's obviously not one of my favorite movies, because it's very specific and I don't think it's for everyone. But I advise you to watch it anyway, because these films have given you a lot of famous moments, a meme, and generally gained cult status. Just get ready for the fact that the movie is really very unusual)

🤣🔥

"Oh my God, Patrick. Why here? I saw you looking at me. I noticed your hot body. Don't be shy. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this. From that Christmas party in Arizona, 206. There, remember, you were wearing an Armani tie with red stripes and a Paisley pattern. I want you. I want you too! Patrick?

WHAT IS IT??
Where are you going?

A murky movie. I thought I'd watch a thriller about a psychopath, but it's more of an author's denunciation of the mores of the golden youth of that time. Gradually becoming more and more absurd. It is not clear what specific things they wanted to say and show in the end. It happens that I watch such films with great pleasure, but not this one.
