American Psycho

What was supposed to be so bad about his workplace/life? He was making a ton of money, fucked hot women regularly and took good care of himself. And a culture where you blend in is far better than today's special snowflake "everyone's a winner bullshit".
How is the film supposed to satirize something if it just ends up making it look appealing?

nice dubs faggot lol

>you get to spend time with cuties
>money
>you get to conform!
What are you a woman?

>hollow relationships, both romantic and friendships
>the constant pressure to overcome your coworkers both physically and economically
>narcissism and inflated ego.
Sure man, that's appealing as fuck.

I guess a collectivist pol sheep wouldn't get it, huh.

How long will this body take me if I’m an above average dyel? Natty of course. Also, impressive. Let’s see my dubs.

That's the point. He was '''theoretically''' living the American dream. On the surface. Turns out most people need more than that to live a fulfilling life.

t. Brainlet

ah yes, the classic, "i watched American Psycho and actually aspire to be like Bateman" trope. fucking idiots lol.

>And a culture where you blend in is far better than today's special snowflake

lol what? you boring motherfucker

Unless you are Christian Bale, you will never achieve this.

Elliot Rodger here.

>Natty of course
lmao

I want this Bale to bang me.

Why not? It looks like a couple months/weeks on gear. Should be like a year or so natty. Right?

Had to specify.

Because:

A. You're brown

B. You're below 6'1"

nope you'll never look like that natty

>serial killer
>no real connection with people or friends
>entire movie made to show whats wrong with american capitalism
>"at l-l-least hes not a special s-s-snowflake!"

literal trump voter logic

>I’m brown
No I’m not
>below 6’1”
I’m king of manlets 5’11 but Bale is also 5’10-5’11” in real life.

A man can dream, right?

Why does he bother returning his own video tapes and picking up his own laundry? Surely his assistant could do that (even if they were bloodied or porn).

Also check

He wanted to fit in and be interesting, but was actually a boring person most people considered to be a pussy.
Read the book

>hollow relationships, both romantic and friendships
>narcissism and inflated ego.
lol just like everyone else
>the constant pressure to overcome your coworkers both physically and economically
god forbid competition and expectation!!!! let's give everyone a participation award because everyone is special :)

There's always a few, usually they dress up as him for Halloween

All these suburban and rural retards ITT don't understand this.

Like Bret Easton Ellis, Patrick Bateman is gay. Like Brett at the time, Patrick is gay.
Like many gay guys at that time, Patrick has HIV - there are several chapters were characters discuss HIV.

The killings Patrick does in the book and movie, is through infecting people knowingly with HIV.
Easton Ellis makes a distinction in his work how it is no longer the Geins, Leatherfaces or Dahmes that are the fierce face of murderers, it is the very essence of the American pop culture, sex.
Sex has become death, Patrick is ill and so he becomes the nihilistic "nothing behind the mask".

After more stretching exercises to cool down
I take a quick hot shower and then head to the video store where I return two tapes I
rented on Monday, She-Male Reformatory and Body Double, but I rerent Body Double
because I want to watch it again tonight even though I know I won’t have enough time to
masturbate over the scene where the woman is getting drilled to death by a power drill
since I have a date with Courtney at seven-thirty at Café Luxembourg.

The video store is more crowded than usual. There are too many couples in line for
me to rent She-Male Reformatory or Ginger’s Cunt without some sense of awkwardness
or discomfort, plus I’ve already bumped into Robert Ailes from First Boston in the Horror
aisle, or at least I think it was Robert Ailes. He mumbled “Hello, McDonald” as he
passed me by, holding Friday the 13th: Part 7 and a documentary on abortions in what I
noticed were nicely manicured hands marred only by what looked to me like an
imitation-gold Rolex.

steve bannon pls go. we get it you dont like minorities.

>lol just like everyone else

kek, nice projection there faggot

tomi lauren pls go. we getttt iitttt your dad was in the military. no one cares.

I have to admit that for trying to make fun of yuppie culture it did make it look very stylish. Especially considering it happened 30 years ago and kids today are just looking for nice historical things to look up to.

>lol just like everyone else
what does this even mean lol. you know not everyone is a friendless loser like you user

I blame that i watched it while i was snuggling with an extremely hot red head. I have way too positive emotional connection to seeing Bateman on screen.

Trying to be more special than others doesn't work and always falls out flat. Living in cohesive group is way closer to the real human experience.

Depends..do you have all day to do nothing but work out?

lol are you still in highschool wtf

Not him, but I believe he means that all of you liberal faggots have holliw relationships based on your Star Wars fandom and you also suffer from fake relationships based on Rick and Morty quotes.

Bateman’s life seems much better than getting stoned by yourself, being mad at God and watching cartoons.

>hollow relationships, both romantic and friendships
Most people don't build significant relationships. They collect friends and change partners more often than their bedsheets.
>narcissism and inflated ego.
In the age of tinder and instagram how the fuck can anyone deny this?

So you actually think that you’re unique and have an original style because you have a collection of Rick and Morty dvds?

ugh, ever since Sup Forums went from anarchist/libertarian to far right, its been shit posts non stop.

ill have you know, im the only person on my block with these rick and morty dvds! and the only person within a 5 mile radius that still uses dvds!

>You have to be "far right" to identify a societal problem

...

>thinks star wars and rick and morty fandom is a societal problem

you pussies really have it too easy. americas gone so soft, its hard pro military far right, are whining about rick and morty fans lol

>"everyone's a winner bullshit"
t. loser

your replies say more about you than the subject your commenting on, think about that you fucking children

Except Bret is a republican...

Psychopaths are often driven by narcissistic rage. So for example, that other guy having a better business card is extremely enraging to a psychopath's competitive nature.

And films rarely do a good job of demonizing things, but usually just end up normalizing them and glorifying them. Oliver Stone made Wall Street as a critique, but people came to emulate it.

And a problem is with satire is that some people will take it seriously, so you get edgelords on 4chins looking up to Bateman. But women do prefer Dark Triad men.

this thread just gave me cancer

yes? what do you think that means exactly and why would you use it as a snarky comeback? actually, your reply really says more about your understanding of communication than the subject you're commenting on.

How is it possible to miss the point of a movie this fucking hard?

checked

what's that "more" there's nothing beyond money hedonism luxury and sex in this world. What's that "more" I hear faggots talking about all the time in their spiritual speeches but are incapable of concretely explaining ? family ? family brings more trouble than it provides well being, can even fuck you up. love ? good luck if you don't have the look and money. What's more than money honestly. le weed and le eastern philosphy ?

*tips le fedora*

/thread

go inject dmt and get back to us
you sound like a 16yo who has the world "all figured out"

HAHAHAHAHAHAH WTF

>moms gonna freak if she sees me posting this

>Should be like a year or so natty

what
wait what haha

>dmt
see ? you are a retarded speck of shit. You can't earn your satisfaction so you need to induce it with pills smuggled to your shithole inside a nigger's colon.
Money and luxury are at the top of the pyramid in this world, you can fool yourself with your mediocrity but don't try to sell me that shit
Trash has more objective value than your entire family

>samefagging out of butthurt
stay shit your entire life

>there's no possible way more than one person could think what I said was d-dumb r-right

haha
goddamn dude I'm so sorry that you are like this

thinks people are samefag doesnt even know how to check ip's on an anonymous basket weaving forum

the human brain naturally produces dmt in trace amounts
and dmt also occurs naturally in a few plants
there have been actors who have been obsessed with money and luxury, like your 13yo edgelord brain is, and after dmt they gave it all up

the thing about money is there will always be someone who has more
do you have 100 billion like bezos? no? and you never will
so have fun always trying to catch something you will never catch
you think money will bring you happiness, but what if it doesn't? what if something is still missing?

so you're a pair of retards. good you should meet up and mutually share your sdts while you debate over how smoking weed is better than graduating high school
kys

Every time I see a retarded post like, I wonder if it's some teenager with zero life experience, or someone on minimum wage that believes money will solve all his problems.
Which one are you?

I'll try to explain some personal problems successful people experience.
When you put all your effort into your career, to overcome any challenge and progress up the ranks, and you finally reach your upper potential, only to realize that you'll be stuck there with no further goals in sight.
When you're insanely competitive and narcissistic, yet you're bested regularly by friends or colleagues.
When you work in an executive position, and spend at least 16 hours a day working, completely neglecting your wife, and barely getting to know your child before they're already an adult.
When you have hundreds of friends and hot girls at your dick, but no genuine relationships to find comfort and actual intimacy in.

The human brain is far more complex than money+sex=happy man

Neither does the rest of Sup Forums so stfu and get back to your leddit

haha ok friend, will do

Men want women

we should watch rick and morty and smoke weeeeedd and do druugggzzz cus were special snowflake libs huh? lol idiot

I'm not reading your diarrhea, keep that for your dad at you annual dinner while he tries to fight the urge of throwing himself under a train because of the living joke that came out of his nuts

go work on your psychological art degree vagina sketches you cum dribbling retard

Okay. And men imitating Patrick Bateman will actually attract more women, because women love handsome rich psychopaths.

This is the visual representation of being 17 years old.

yes only white people come to Sup Forums to post about how much they hate minorities and libs. thats what Sup Forums is. retard lol wtf

have fun always having less money than someone else in the world

17yos don't inject dmt

I would say feeling at peace with oneself and generally satisfied with life. For some it may just mean having a load of money and living in luxury, for others happy family life, or succesful career and praise from their peers. It really depends on a person.

>lol
>wtf
>ugh
>no capitalized first letters
You're cancerous. kys.

lol too bad faggot keep posting about how much u hate libs and love trump. u sound so cool.

>u cant be hapy becuz there is someone richer
are you seriously pushing this reasoning as a legit argument ?the xanax has atrophied your monkey braincells. you think a millionaire feels like shit and can't enjoy life because Bill Gates has billions ?

>appealing

soulless insecure white """"""""""male""""""""" detected

>I am an adult because I do drugs
you failed and you need to kys

>i whine about peoples grammar on Sup Forums

what a time to be alive

never done xanax in my life, friendo.
yes, i do think that millionaires are envious and jealous of people with more money. maybe they buy a nice car, then see someone with a better care. maybe they buy a yacht, see someone with a bigger yacht. maybe they buy a house, see someone with a bigger house.

since you're clearly a retarded teenager, i guess you don't know that "comparison is the thief of joy."

enjoy your envy.

@90868012
Whether you're reddit or a shitlord, you won't even get this (You). Your samefagging is obvious

i never said that
stop jumping to idiotic conclusions
or did you huff a lot of paint when you were 17?

...

fuck off marxist piece of shit

who the fuck "injects" dmt anyway
aren't you meant to smoke it

sure is a lot of sitting and talking in this movie

woke as fuck art students who fight capitalism by being into pegging

i'm not a marxist.
are you so angry because you don't have enough money? do you think more money will make you less angry? like patrick bateman? like stephen paddock?

>waaahhh mommy and daddy didnt save enough money for me to goto college

shutup bitch lol

Watch DMT: The Spirit Molecule.

Only edgelord teens smoke DMT, if it's actually even DMT and not something else.

5 years

comparative distinction is straight out of marx kapital you stupid shit, you think I don't know ? you've been plastering this retarded reasoning thinking I wouldn't figure. And now you strawman like the insecure shit you've always been.You are a mongoloid end of discussion, don't bother replying I won't read
goodbye cuck

If you don’t look like Bale after a year you should just stop trying

I just looked it up and doing that has a really high chance of literally killing you apparently

You have no clue what natty lifting or even enhanced lifting is like This would take 5 years with good genetics natty and a year with two cycles

I have smoked it a couple times just because it was offered, never in amounts high enough to actually experience a full DMT trip

I don't really see how it's an "edgelord" thing to do, it's just a drug, heaps of people try out psychedelics
