Bale is really skinny in this movie. He looks like a crack addict. He is way too skinny. According to wikipedia:
"Christian Bale starved himself for over four months prior to filming, as his character needed to look drastically thin. Allegedly, his eating consisted of one cup of black unsweetened coffee and an apple (or a can of tuna) each day (approximately 275 calories, or 1155 kilojoules).[4] According to the DVD commentary, he lost 28 kilograms (62 lb), reducing his body mass to 54 kilograms (120 lb). Bale wanted to go down to 45 kilograms (99 lb), but the filmmakers would not let him due to health concerns. He later regained the mass, plus an additional 27 kilograms (60 lb) through weightlifting and proper eating, in preparation for his role in Batman Begins."
It is a really weird movie.
It feels and sounds like a 1940's film noir.

American Psycho
American Psycho is definitely worth watching. It has very dark humor in it. A great critique on narcissism of yuppies from the 1980's. It is a great insiders look to the mind of a crazy person. The main Actor is Christian Bale, who plays Patrick Bateman a wall street guy .
"We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy." - The films Director Marry Haron about where Christian Bale got his inspiration for the role. According to the Huffington Post.
Basically you get to see Christian Bale doing a Tom Cruise impersonation while Tom Cruise is playing wall street guy in the 1980's. It is great. It is an amazing ride to see Patrick Bateman completely lose his mind. The film is a dark comedy. If you love Wonder Showzen you will love this. This movie is disturbingly great.
FUN FACT: Dexter is based off of this film. According to Wikipedia: "In the sixth episode of the first season the title character is even revealed to use the alias of "Dr. Patrick Bateman" to buy narcotics."
So you want some brutal fun time gather the gang together and watch the film that inspired the creation of Dexter.
