Day 7 - 10th January
Snacks Eaten - Far too much! Pavlova good
Film Number 7 - American Psycho
Directed by Mary Harron
Year - 2000
Lots of actors were rumoured to have been up for the part of Patrick Bateman including Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.
Christian Bale stars as Patrick Bateman, a wall street yuppie obsessed with image, Huey Lewis and killing. Adapted from the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, Mary Harron effectively juxtaposes
the sinister side of Bateman's self with the superficial satire applied to the world around him. This film is darkly comic while still being able to shock the audience with scenes of Bateman indulging in intense violence.
Bale is chilling as he conveys an incredible arrogance and a lack of remorse in his daily life as Bateman. The soundtrack comes from his love of musical artists popular in that time including Genesis and Huey Lewis and the news, easing the tension created by Bateman's murderous activities. American Psycho is truly horrifying and Harron delivers loyalty to Ellis while pulling off an intelligent thriller enhanced by a great cast.
Right so another favourite and another dose of Bale. A hugely laughable film with a real
vicious core. Right so film
Number 8? Kids. Connection?
Psycho
