Setting shapes characters: Patrick Bateman in American´s Psycho

When Bret Easton Ellis announced his third novel, American Psycho, he was very critical of the graphic content of the book. This is violent, obscene and bloodshed. Later in some places it was banned and attacked by a liberal journal. As a young and intellectual writer, he decided not to tell the real reason for his writing novel. Until the summer of 2001, he could not even read it. After a while his book was misunderstood and was eventually understood and recognized by the people.

American Psycho is a modified version of the movie directed by Marry Harron, released in 2000 and is based on the novel of the same name written by Bret Easton Ellis in 1991. The main focus of this film is Patrick Bateman, a New York investment banker in the early 1980s. Patrick is a perfectionist and life during the day seems to work with his perfect work, a superficial relationship with his fiance Evelyn, and his shallow interaction with his colleagues.

The sarcasm of the film heavily depends on materialism and facial expression, and Bateman's anxiety is increasing its presence. Fear and psychiatric disorders Naturally, his own living space - difficult to call it a house - is affected by the same inhuman perfectionism.
