American Psycho

"American Psycho" has an transgressive fictional and novelistic genre, and presents a variety of new ideas. The movie is centered around the character of Patrick Bateman, whom is Manhattan businessman, while at the same time being a serial killer with unusual tastes, including complex sequences of rape, torture, mutilation, necrophilia, and cannibalism. Bateman became increasingly unstable, using his apartment as a deadly place where he murders his victims. He soon starts talking about stories regarding serial killers, especially to his coworkers, who obviously never take him seriously. Little time after, deep hallucinations began taking place , eventually Patrick finishes shooting a plethora of people who are just simply walking on the streets. Patrick escapes and hides in his office where he calls Carnes (his attorney), and confesses his crimes to the answering machine. However, Carnes mistakes his message as a hilarious joke, and later saved Patrick from disaster, and possibly permanent jail. This movie emphasizes the view that sometimes people misjudge others, and that sometimes even a serial killer can be an apparently ordinary person. In other words, this helps the development of my movie, with the previously mentioned idea that even the most normal people can be quite dangerous.
