What Makes American Psycho a Successful Crime Thriller Film

American Psycho(2000) is a classic psychological thriller film of all time. It is also the pioneer of American cinema about psychopath killers. The film was directed by Mary Harron and released in April 2000. It stars famous actors such as Christian Bale, Jared Leto and Willem Dafoe. > More Info about this movie.

Watch American Psycho,Where To Stream Full Movies Online,On HBO max

The title American Psycho implies mental illness already. Details in the film also reveal that the story was originally an imaginary world in his mind, but this is unimportant. The author intends to reveal it’s a satire on a very corrosive society.

The thrilling plot of American Psycho will surely take the hearts out of the audiences. It is worth mentioning that the excellent cast and script make it a classic in the genre. If you’re a fan of crime thrillers, be sure to add it to your watch list. 

Adapted from Bret Easton Ellis’s controversial novel, the film is a noir social satire of American urban life in the late 1980s. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a young investment banking executive on Wall Street, and he is a charming guy who makes millions of dollars for his clients every day. He lives an extremely disciplined life every day, is very critical of music, every morning to take care of skin and exercise, like a social elite.

But the horror of darkness awakens another side of Bateman at night in his luxury apartment. He tortures women he hunts and kills them slowly in pain, which makes him feel mysterious pleasure. But the police never considered him a suspect because of his position. As another bloodthirsty killer emerges, there is nowhere to hide.

One of the most fascinating things about American Psycho(2000) is its talented cast, Christian Bale, who even won the Best Actor award for his performance in the film. The producers originally planned to cast Leonardo DiCaprio as Patrick, James Woods as Donald, Cameron Diaz as Evelyn, and Oliver Stone as director. Producers had wanted Edward Norton to play Patrick, but he declined. Guinevia Turner, who plays Patrick’s friend Elizabeth, also wrote the screenplay. Kristen Bell improvised twice during the shoot, jumping rope like a schoolgirl and starting to dance when she was about to kill Paul.

Coming from a female director, American Psycho is still a powerful film with less violent scenes. It favors a psychological portrayal of the characters. Mary Harron, the cold and humorous female director, makes the film more like a black comedy as if only the cold between people is more attractive.

The first-time watcher may be attracted by Bale’s insane performance, but the second attraction is more focused on the core: Bateman’s wealthy life, which is depicted by the daily routine of his personal care and properties, his tastes of music before the murder or abusive sex, comparing the print and typeface of business cards with his fellow men, a kind of total consumerism lost and materialized human communication, Emotions, and desires are twisted in a money-worship environment, and the film ends with the crowd watching Reagan’s Iran-Contra speech in a club.

The movie is also reflecting the illness of the American Dream. In this materialistic society, everything is measured by money. People are lost in such vanity and meaningless madness. The   money-worship world needs a way out all the time. Just like the bloody smell in men’s daily careful maintenance in American Psycho(2000) , it is an incurable tragedy.

The villa is a plush 3-room structure in the heart of Goa. Pop into the upper deck and hear the waves by the coastline. The living area is equipped with heritage wonders like a 100 years old trunk, a classic record player, a retro wire telephone and so much more!
With a private pool and a mesmerising sunset and field view the villa has an open concept living area. High ceilings exude a ventilated feel. The living room is equipped with an air conditioner and Wi-Fi enable TV along with an open kitchen and dining table for 4 guests.
The master bed room is located on the right side of the ground floor. It is equipped with a nice comfortable bed. A double bed with headboard with bedside tables, lamps/lights, a wardrobe, a seating area and a bathtub in the washroom. Shower gel, shampoo, hand wash, bath towels, hand towels and washroom tissues roll are provided as well like a 5-star hotel The other two rooms have the same classic heritage feeling.

As Dr Kapoor elucidates succinctly, “For over 22 years, our company Square Dreams group has been serving luxury in a redefined bravura. Over the years we have built trust with excellent workmanship among our clients. Each of the luxury villas in North Goa which we are building besides Vivenda De Anjuna, have been conceptualised keeping a very unique style in mind making sure that every day is filled with nothing but comfort and exhilaration. Living here would be no less than living in your own private paradise which is designed as per your palate and premier quality.”
“When we build premium villas in Goa, we want it to be unique, special. If you’re looking to buy luxury villas in Goa, you’re probably looking for bright, light-filled spaces which give you a feeling of ease as you walk in. We select locations that are private, peaceful and away from all the tourist frenzy,” added Dr Kapoor.
No wonder, Goa at Vivenda De Aqua has villas with reflection of pure luxury and much more!
And trust the person behind the design excellence, the inimitable man with an indefatigable mission Dr Navneet Kapoor  who believes in creating beautiful spaces by bringing back the passion, design and inspirations from history..

The event, which saw the participation of over 650 people, was inaugurated by actor Bhumi Pednekar, also the founder of Climate Warrior, and Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Non-Executive Director, Vedanta and Anchor, TACO.  Hosted at the Father Agnel Ashram in Bandra, the event brought together animal lovers, particularly students, from the city to build awareness on the need for an ecosystem of well-being for all animals.

As part of the water bowl challenge, the participants were encouraged to place water-feeding bowls for stray animals and birds. In addition, an animal health camp by a group of veterinarians was also conducted to offer health check-ups to strays and pets. Bhumi Pednekar, a champion for several social causes, was seen interacting and motivating the participants throughout the walk.

I am grateful to have Bhumi Pednekar and her sustainability campaign Climate Warrior join the cause. India has a long history of happy co-existence between humans and animals.
