MY REPLY ON THOUGHTS TO AMERICAN PSYCHO

I admit I have never considered american psycho , the film, feminist or masculinist, but about a financial privileged white young man who is addicted to his ego and passions to a murderous intent, but so much so his acknowledging reality is unknown . I love the fact that the original woman who preproduced this was kicked out and christian bale did it without revenue gain.  But I see your point that Bateman has aspects that is relatable to women while I also see that American psycho found that beautiful place of writing where it can be taken  14:%6  hahaha love your tarantino knife:) I think one thing you miss is slavery. The slavemaster was the original wealthy class in the usa. and this was a role for white men from  wealth only.. white women were only objects,  to be pretty to look at and use for breeding , while non whites were usable at gun point, pure commodities. slavery is mostly illegal but the culture of the white enslaver lives on. A culture where violence is legal plus acceptable. The problem in the usa is the desire to delete enslavement as one of the two core usa's cultural elements, the other being genocide, stops people from embracing ho genocide + enslavement survives in the usa, in various mutations 27:06 the bathroom scene:) makes me laugh:) 32:05 I don't know , I think male or female , the book really opens up any director/screenwriter artistic approach, I don't think the book will be interpreted into film the same way by any two directors/screenwriters cause it can go many ways.
