‘American Psycho’ Director Baffled by ‘Wall Street Bros’ Still Idolizing Patrick Bateman: They Don’t Realize the Movie Is a ‘Gay Man’s Satire on Masculinity’
'American Psycho' director Mary Harron says "Wall Street bros" who idolize Patrick Bateman are seriously missing the point of her movie.
“ American Psycho ” director Mary Harron marked the 25th anniversary of her satirical thriller by speaking to Letterboxd Journal about how puzzling it is to see “Wall Street bros” idolizing Patrick Bateman, the sociopathic New York City investment banker and serial killer played by Christian Bale in her film. That men could aspire to be Patrick Bateman is ironic considering Harron always viewed “American Pyscho” as “a gay man’s satire on masculinity.” The film is based on the book of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis. Patrick Bateman could soon be back on the big screen as a new interpretation of Ellis’ “American Psycho” novel is currently in development from “Challengers” director Luca Guadagnino.
