I watched it for the first time and while the theme is completely correct that capitalists are soulless husks who can get away with anything, I don't really understand the hype around it

    I think the movie does a good job showing he's a completely empty loser, but since it's Christian Bale and many people in the US aspire to be exactly that kind of loser a lot of jackasses totally miss the message. The same thing happens with Starship Troopers, American History X, and a bunch of other movies.
