American Psycho

So we saw American Psycho in class and I have a few things I would like to discuss:

1) Why was it titled "American Psycho"? Did he represent the All-American Man? Is it because it was based in America? I don't know... I feel that it stereotypes the men of this country terribly. If you are young, wealthy, and successful you will act this way and you will kill people. I understand that it isn't real, but when people from other countries see this movie, they have to think that this represents us just a little bit. But if the movie was based in Italy or France or Argentina, would the title represent that? Italian Psycho? French Psycho? Argentinian Psycho?

2) In the Barker book, the male was discussed. And from what was said about the male in general, I think Christian Bale's character portrayed this, and then some. He was the ultimate male... What the Barker book said and then we can multiply that by 10. He was handsome, very good-looking, worked out and built, he was engaged to a young woman of the elite class he was a part of, he was extremely clean and obsessive about it, and then he killed people and felt absolutely no remorse for it.

3) The movie was completely and utterly disturbing. The person who wrote it should be locked up... i mean, to actually think this stuff up is just awful.
