The way the article is worded, it makes it seem that the Netflix documentary chose the song as part of its soundtrack, rather than it being played as the livestream of the murder happened.
I don't think the Netflix documentary chose the song. It seems Luka Magnotta did, and then this Scarlet Blake woman copied him.
Weirdly when I googled Magnotta's name (I've been blissfully unaware of him until now), Google offered the question: "What film did Luka Magnotta copy?".
The answer it offers is Basic Instinct rather than American Psycho.
Having said that, someone has uploaded the True Faith film intro part of American Psycho on
YouTube and put "Luka Magnotta" in brackets, as if to suggest (just as you have, Perspex) that this film may also have been an "influence" on Magnotta.
BTW I enjoyed the book of American Psycho more than the film. The book actually made me laugh in places - but that doesn't mean I wish to replicate anything discussed in the book or in this thread, just to be clear.
The Beatles had Helter Skelter appropriated by Charles Manson and I guess some people (me) will always associate one thing with the other. Even the most famous band ever couldn't stop that. So I guess NO can't stop sickos using True Faith, and it's all because author Bret Easton Ellis put it in a work of fiction.
I imagine NO will be aware but won't want to give this story/theme any oxygen by discussing it.
Incidentally, I seem to remember the American Psycho character in the book being a big fan of Genesis' Duke album and Whitney Houston's self titled debut album. Where are the nutters choosing to do unspeakable things to
their songs? Or were they too lazy to read the book?
