Or the other way around. Whichever it is, Christian Bale is so perfect in this role in American Psycho that I can't remember him in Batman anymore. No more. He is forever etched in my mind as a crazy murderer with a ravenous craving and desire in his eyes for blood. Aw yeah, Batman has turned evil.
It's disturbing to my immature eyes of course, some of the scenes in the movie, especially those related to sex. Every moment I'm trying to predict his next victim, his next moment of crime- it's pretty easy actually, seeing that this is a satirical poke at the high society then. You know what drives this murderer to commit this act, because it's clear as daylight and as ridiculous as a joke.
This must be the first time I enjoy a bloody film of gore and R-rated sex, but the message behind the act and superb acting are just too awesome to ignore. Maybe it can serve as a reflection of the contemporary society now too, one which everyone is so self obsessed. Do we really care about others unless it trespasses our rights? Of course, this whole story is an absurd exaggeration, since it is well, logically impossible in many areas. But hey, it's just a movie.
Why so serious? Ha, you won't be saying that now, Joker.
