The wild thing to me about anyone idolizing the character in American Psycho is that it’s all but outright stated outright that the guy lives in wonderland and hallucinated all of his wild power fantasies except maybe being rich. He’s outright called a dweeb by his lawyer at the end once he has a complete mental breakdown. It’s like someone idolizing Nicholas Cage’s character in Vampire’s Kiss.
Media literacy is generally really low. Many people don’t take the entire piece in context, they fixate in a specific part that appeals to them and I ignore the rest that shows how destructive that type of behavior is.
I really should watch this movie.
It’s actually pretty funny a lot of times, I didn’t realize it’s supposed to be part black comedy going into it. Definitely an entertaining movie
That’s why my better version of male trip power fantasy is the tough-as-nails delta operative Captain Martin Walker, of Spec Ops: The Line.
So a method actor is telling people to get their own personality??
Does he even have his own?
Same default as everyone else: asshole.
sadly it’s fake as far as I know
