Patrick Bateman In The Film 'American Psycho'

Decent Essays
American Psycho, I think, is a film about a man that cannot come to terms with the totally subjective nature of his reality. One of the best scenes of Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) from the black comedy film American Psycho. In this scene, we saw a review of Bateman's routine, starting with the hard morning exercises that ended with his skin. He tells you in detail until we reach a very important scene. Patrick puts on his face a cleansing mask for his skin and removes it, which symbolizes his personality, as it may seem to his counterpart that he is similar to him, in appearance, in his interests. But it is just a fake mask worn in front of the public and behind this mask a man does not carry any human atom, just flesh and bone and hatred

    When analysing Hitchcock’s Psycho, it is clear why it has been labelled as a horror. Although Norman Bates is not a monster in the physical form, his monster-like nature is within his human psyche. There are many reasons for this film to be regarded as a “horror”, the imagery of the old dark house is typical of “horror”, being set in an isolated place, off the beaten track presents a clearly gothic setting where as little as the appearance of a single woman unleashes forces of sexual assault, murder and incest. The feeling of being alone and isolated during a horrific situation creates tension as well as suspense within its audience, in Psycho the isolated setting brings a sense of fear mainly through the idea of the unknown. Isolated settings…

    The short film Breathe directed by Toby Meakins depicts two men conjuring a ghost by holding their breath, the longer they hold their breath the more she does. The one man who had obviously done the interaction before then suffocates the man that he introduces to the supernatural girl. I believe that he does this because he classifies as a person with antisocial personality disorder. I think this because he shows a lot of indicators that would classify him as a psychopath or a sociopath. There are slight distinctions between psychopaths and sociopaths although they do share multiple personality traits including a disregard for laws and social morals, disregard for the rights of others, a failure to feel remorse or guilt, and a tendency…

    American Psycho, Election 2016, and the Entropy of the American Dream The ‘80’s described in the book were a time of excess, immorality, and sloth. They were also significantly a time when the American Dream, as originally described was one of hard work and charismatic patriotism, changed to one of excess and moral competition. In this, the human persona became more animalistic; so begins this discourse with a genius line from the main character of American Psycho, Patrick Bateman, “There wasn't a clear, identifiable emotion within me, except for greed and, possibly, total disgust. I had all the characteristics of a human being -- flesh, blood, skin, hair -- but my depersonalisation was so intense, had gone so deep, that the normal ability…

    Alfred Hitchcock 's 1960 film Psycho saw audiences introduced to a shy, isolated, but derrannged character - Norman Bates. The uncomfortable combination of both sympathy and disgust is slowly revealed through Bates ' history and the events that change him during the movie. Using sound, camera angles, and reorganisation of the generic conventions of horror films, Hitchcock constructed Bates ' character in a way that kept the audience in suspense as to whether he was truly a monster or just a young man suffering mental-instability. Norman Bates was originally written as a middle-aged, overweight, disconsolate man; a character screen audiences would recognise, but not embrace. Hitchcock "permenantly altered the face of the horror-film monster" (Freeland 2000, 161) not only by casting a skinny, fresh-faced Anthony Perkins whom audiences already knew as a young romantic lead, but by inviting audiences…

Throughout the story young Norman Bates is always talking to his mother throughout the entire film. It always seemed he had an unsettling relationship with his mother that she would tell him to murder this girls in her hotel. “In Psycho, Hitchcock allows the audience to become a subjective character within the plot to enhance the film’s psychological effects for an audience that is forced to recognize its own neurosis and psychological inadequacies as it is compelled to identify, for varying lengths of time, with the contrasting personalities of the film’s main characters.”…
