Justin Theroux Answers Every Question We Have About American Psycho
He has seen finance bros come to worship Patrick Bateman over time and finds it “disturbing.”
The scene is an encapsulation of what makes director Mary Harron’s adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis novel such an enduring text of its own.A room full of essentially identical ’80s finance bros, all despicable, taking the imperceptible details of their colleagues’ business cards ultraseriously and having borderline panic attacks about the implications of these status symbols. Bryce, Theroux’s character and the closest thing Bateman has to a friend, might not have murdered women, but he was wearing the same suits, making the same offhand racist and sexist remarks, enjoying an ill-gotten life of luxury, and freaking out at the guys who were also trying to do coke in the next stall over.
