saw the movie American Psycho set in 1987 with Christian Bale for the 3rd time recently. this movie is an extreme dramatization of an american guy gone haywire in a world of excess. the way the plot goes expresses quite poignantly on how people can be caught up in their own lives while missing major events. not only this but also the narcissism seen in this character can be found as a metaphor for the american society and how it/we view ourselves in the world. furthermore it signifies the ignorance or maybe the option to ignore by big business the scope of longevity for society to maintain control for the good of all people. i can also consider that this is just a wonderfully well done horror movie with excellent depth of character developments. brace yourself if you have not seen this yet.
