Deeply concerned with his personal appearance, Bateman gives extensive descriptions of his daily aesthetics regimen. People had previously commented about how annoying it was when the book goes off on random tangents where Bateman breaks down different musical artists' careers. I found this weirdly enjoyable - particularly the chapters where he discusses Genesis and Whitney Houston in great detail. Although I was not too impressed when Bateman described Bruce Springsteen as overrated (but he made up for it by later telling a stranger on the street that Brilliant Disguise by the Boss was the happiest song he could think of - how depressing and sad is that song... LOL). Bateman's obsession for serial killers also reminded me of myself, he would slide that chat in anywhere he could. Although he did get one of his quotes wrong, attributing a quote by Ed Kemper to Ed Gein - easily done I guess *shrugs* I wanted to fall on the respect end because I understood why others rated the book high. But I can't overcome the fact that I hated reading the repetitive formula of : character talks about meaningless shit, character talks about or participates in unappealing (and super-extreme) sex, then character makes a gruesome kill.

In the opening moments of American Psycho (2000), Director Mary Harron presents a perfect amuse-bouche for the satirical horror to come. Zenkin, S. (2019). A Postscript to transgression. Logos, 29(2-129), 51-63. https://doi.org/10.22394/0869-5377-2019-2-51-62 I LOVED getting inside Bateman's head, a true glimpse into the mind of a psychopath. He is severely deluded, shallow, neurotic... and yet I could happily read about his beauty routine and gym workouts forever (whilst making some notes of course - if only I had multiple hours to spend in the gym each day!!). In particular, I was sincerely impressed by Bateman's ability to identify exactly what designer you're wearing by sight alone - I mean, surely he is wasted in his job as an investment banker?! There must be some way he can make use of this incredible talent! Elizabeth – a dinner date of Bateman's, drugged and coerced into having sex with "Christie" before being violently murdered.I've recently learned that before its release, 31 publishers worldwide wanted nothing to do with the novel due to its gory, disturbing, misogynistic content. While I can understand 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨 won't be everyone's cup of tea, one must remember that the point of satire is to exaggerate, so if you decide to venture into the wild mind of Bateman/Ellis, I would suggest not to do it with a straight face, as it is a social criticism, and a very well written one.

Retrieved April 14, 2018. In the shooting script that you co-wrote with Guinevere Turner, you actually detail the menu and the food. Mary: I think that was the first time I thought about a title sequence, “That’s amazing.” I know it’s a famous title sequence. He’s so good at those. Overall, American Psycho was an incredibly hard read. You might assume it's because of the gore, slurs, and many other tough subjects. But honestly? The real reason is the vast majority of this book was painfully boring. Just look at the word count.

Marlene: Yes. So I remember doing storyboards because that’s how I always worked. But I have no artifact from that.and if you tally it all up, he kills the exact same number of men as women, but some of the women get more...extravagant murders. is this what makes it misogynistic, or is this simply a standard of the genre? The relevance of this study is stipulated by the keen interest in researching the ways of representing philosophical intentions in transgressive fiction for the purpose of conceptual reading of its content. Writers of transgressive literature suggest the reader to immerse himself in an alternative reality of taboo topics where deviant behaviour of characters is the norm.

Mary: Yeah! It’s not digital. We may have fiddled with them, coloured them, but it was done in the studio, in camera. We were shooting on film and you tried to get everything in camera. We had a top food stylist and that was great because it was all about getting that beautiful look. Can we consider marginal society is described in B.E.Ellis’s novel “American psycho”? Purpose of the Study We are marginally different, but the rage that is in me is in you. Maybe you haven’t tapped into it yet, but you may when you least expect it. I do understand that we may see different things in clouds, for instance. ”When we look up at the clouds she sees an island, a puppy dog, Alaska, a tulip. I see, but don’t tell her, a Gucci money clip, an ax, a woman cut in two, a large puffy white puddle of blood that spreads across the sky, dripping over the city, onto Manhattan.” The purpose and objectives of the study led to the use of a systematic approach and method of linguistic analysis. The system approach made it possible to consider the text of B.Е.Ellis' novel “American Psycho” in the context of transgressive fiction. The method of linguistic analysis made it possible to determine the compositional stylistic methods of B.Е.Ellis's novel “American Psycho”. Findings

I did not enjoy this at all. I was so gut-wrenchingly bored for almost the entirety of the book. I couldn't wait for it to be over! Mary: Recently I loved the title sequence for Westworld. I just think that’s gorgeous. I watched the whole show, and I always sat through and watched the sequence. i don't think bret easton ellis is a great writer, but i think with this one, he accidentally wrote a great book.or at least effective. can i call it effective? any book that can cause such polarized reactions from readers is wonderful in my eyes. I wanted to make sure I said that because, despite my cautions above, this is a book I will recommend provided people understand the level of gut-wrenching depictions in the novel. It's not a book to read for pleasure and it is not a book I believe I will ever open again. However, I do believe that this is an IMPORTANT work and will be remembered as one of the seminal novels written about the 1980’s.
