In fact I think at the time he wasn’t ‘out’ in any way. I have to confess I’ve never watched the whole of the film, so I find myself wondering whether there may have been something about the film which suggests the idea that its all a fantasy in his head or whether I missed something in the book, or just read it too literally. I walk everywhere, and there’s no way in hell a suit would be remotely practical when it is 100 degrees outside and humid as hell. The tasteful thickness of it. Didn’t though..Agreed, the movie was tame compared to the book. Whether we like it or not, if one is to try to assimilate to the Human species, certain things have to be done correctly.Having the best condo, car, suit, whatever on debt is a sure losing bet.Yeah, Bateman threw a fit and went on a murderous rampage whenever a rival outperformed him in some way.bale was in a rut. Choose your friends carefully. He knew the importance of running with those that had similar values, interests, and status as he did.It’s been said time and time again, the company you keep is a direct reflection of the person you are, and those words couldn’t be truer.

Absent them, you are left with a paranoid person and an enviable life.His knowledge of Huey Lewis and Whitney Houston music was most impressive. As for the satire, it was certainly clever and well written but it was a satire about the absolute narcissism of people who only exist in terms of a culture of commodification. Patrick Bateman Fully Considered "Abandon all hope ye who enter here ..." (Ellis, 1991, p. 3) These are the first words from the mind of Patrick Bateman. An example of this is when Bateman murders a homosexual male on the street; perhaps only because homosexuality violates his expectations of sexual orientation (Storey, 2005; Schaffer, 2013).

Wrong! Show Full Signature. When the mayhem begins, it is presented as nothing more than another instance of sybaritic excess. A full description of what is learned about Bateman in the novel and film will provide the detail necessary to examine the personality theories selected. A lot of people will think you’re an asshole, but you’ll be a respected asshole.While anyone familiar with the story knows that much of Bateman’s behaviour stemmed more from the need to fit and be accepted by his peers, that doesn’t excuse the fact that a lot of his mannerisms were in fact traits of a confident, self-assured man.Mimicking Bateman’s level of obsession will only result in insecurity and a constant feeling of inadequacy, but taking the advice above applying it within reasonable, appropriate amounts can and will result in improvements on all fronts.I read the book when it first came out.

You’d have to read the scene in the book, but it seemed to be the contrast between an attempt of altruism, and the gratuitousness of the extreme violence. You don’t want to be hollow.This article describes 8 ways to better your life and become more socially confident, using our fictional friend’s positive attributes as reference points.It seems to have completely eluded the author of this stupid article that the book was pointing out the hollow, amoral and nihilistic dead-end of the kind of hyper-capitalistic, superficial, materialistic culture that existed in Wall Street in the 80s.

the only other book that kind of jacked me up like that for a few days after finishing it was orwell’s 1984. anyway, i highly recommend both the book and the movie.If you liked 1984, may I recommend Stranger in a Strange Land, Brave New World, The Time Machine and Fahrenheit 451?Dostoevsky’s “Notes from Underground.” Is a closer parallel.yes, american psycho actually pushed me to read “notes from the underground,” which i enjoyed immensely. I may revive this thread if I ever get around to reading it again (which mightn’t be a bad idea, since I’ve completely forgotten that Madonna segment).

Can’t use that one now.Visit the local library once a week just to have an excuse in your back pocket.Or dry-cleaning, those blood stains won’t wash out themselves!!!Evelyn? It could be suggested that Patrick Bateman is completely uncertain of his identity and sexuality and this is what fuels him to perpetrate these acts.“This hyper-masculinity controls the narrative of the story; the sex Bateman has, the violence he commits, the clothes he wears, the job he has, are all told through a male vernacular of the time and place he’s from..”Connell (2000) discusses gender and sexual identities in terms of Erikson’s (1956; 1980) theories. Again, this behaviour borders on extreme, but I do think some competition is healthy, and when approached with a positive mindset, can help inspire young men to achieve their goals.The ability to simply say “No” to people without feeling the need to follow it up with a justified reason is one of the most powerful weapons a man can have in his arsenal. Although a lot of mainstream nutritional advice has changed since the low-fat crazed 1980s that American Psycho is set in, the basic principal hasn’t; Eat healthy and exercise. That faggot had millions of dollars, a father in the movie industry and looked like he’s in a boy-band.

He just was handed the company from his parents, and his privilege, that is why he is a sociopath.This is exactly what we should strive not to be. If it is fantasy, its a pretty hard-core update to Walter Mitty. Perhaps Bateman developed his moral compass from the behavioural teachings of his father, who was basically the owner of the company Bateman works for, Pierce & Pierce. Those of us around in the 80s remember the type: the soul-less and materialistic yuppie. His whole life, his descriptions of himself and others around him almost come across as advertisements in a brochure; Bateman describes the minutiae of every single item he or anyone else purchases, all the music he listens to and all of his daily regiments. In a nearly childless society, there’s too much Kids like that. Despite much of the negative criticism both the book and film received, many viewers were able to see the obvious humor in the story, and many men in particular found themselves identifying with its neurotic, image-obsessed protagonist.The film and novel have developed a cult following in the couple of decades since their release, and it shows. Samurai were the queerest dressed guys around.There is a difference in Virile Aesthetic and sterile and decadent Aesthetic.The former has the substance of virtue the latter the facade masking a supreme emptiness.I wouldn’t consider taking care of yourself and not looking like a slob peacocking.
