这不是一个单纯的杀人故事 ,它涵盖了导演(确切的说是原著小说作者Bret Easton Ellis)对于80年美国社会里精英生活的态度。说来这态度无非是对道德沦丧的拜金世界的否定和批判,然而作者别出心裁,非要从这么个极端切入点讲他的故事。这一手儿让我想起Kevin Spacey在七宗罪里说的话:Wanting people to listen, you cannot tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, then you'll immediately see you've got their straight attention.
