3. American Psycho
I guess it was kind of the point for this one to be enigmatically odd the film is meant to represent Patrick Batemans unreliable mind, so having the whole thing peter off into strange confusion was probably apt. I guess you could call me a cultural philistine (or something less pretentious) for thinking that it mightve been cooler if Bateman had committed those murders and had to answer for it, but dammit, I reckon it wouldve been good. Yes, I get the whole theme of Batemans fantasies existing to satisfy his empty life though not made clear in the film, the guys the son of a big player in the company, explaining why he can do so little and get away with it but still, there were multiple sides of the fence to come down on, and I think Mary Harron made a mistake in being so overt about it all being a dream. Even if Bateman didnt commit those murders, I think it mightve been better to not make it so clear that he was a fantasist that way the film could be debated about, rather than discussed like a piece of art. Dont get me wrong, I loved the film, but I think it was too obvious by making Bateman out to be such a pathetic figure, we're left with nothing to really think about,, and a colossal missed opportunity.
