2.《美國精神病人》　　

Bret Easton Ellis's tongue-in-cheek thriller about a serial killer became instantly infamous for its shocking violence and gratuitous sex. Critics vilified the novel for depictions of unspeakable depravity. But the book's main flaw was it's sloppy ambiguity— is Patrick Bateman an actual madman or some feverish delusion? Director Mary Harron offered a solution in her smart, stylish, and chilling movie adaptation—she directly tells us who Patrick Bateman is, crafting an alternately terrifying and hilarious satire of machismo and impotence.
　　
小說家布雷特-伊斯頓-埃利斯筆下那個連環殺手因令人瞠目結舌的罪行與追求變態快感而臭名遠名揚， 評論家稱這部作品為描述無法啟齒的罪惡與墮落的佳作。但原著卻在交代主人翁身份上含糊不清，他到底是個瘋子還是臆想狂？導演瑪麗-哈倫在這部機智狡黠、風格迥異、令人毛骨悚然的電影中給出了答案。男主角帕特里克-巴特曼是一個恐怖與滑稽，大男子主義與唯諾孱弱交加的矛盾體。
