I'm writing this before I watch it, which is stupid but I can't help myself 😂 it's possible that in the end you might wonder if these murders actually happened or if it was all in Bateman's head. If you don't then I'll still explain some of it because maybe someone else is wondering about it. Or at least I'll try my best. Yes, I'm sure Bateman did kill people and I don't think it's all in his head. Even though the ending makes it look like it isn't real. Even the director of the movie said that this wasn't her intention at all - she never wanted it to look like it was all in his head because she herself doesn't believe that. When I read the book it was much more clear to me that Bateman actually was a serial killer. And since I read the book first I never had an issue wth the ending of the movie. But for most people...unfortunately the "was it real or not" question was the thing most people were focussing on even though it wasn't about that and sadly it overshadowed the actual message of this movie (in my opinion). Yes Bateman did kill people. And fact is - no one cares. You can see many times that he was so obvious in his killings that you might think he was trying to get caught. But even then people were only focused on status, money and materialism. Who had the best business card. (even though they look the same) and who gets a reservation at Dorsia. When Bateman moves a dead body all this guy asks about is the expensive bag he uses for it. And completeley ignores the obvious. He kills a woman with a chainsaw and a lot of people just disappear but most of the time no one cares about it. But somehow Bateman wants to be recognized as a serial killer, as someone abnormal. Because he wants to stand out in a world where everybody is the same. There is no individualism in his world. Everybody looks the same, acts the same, wears the same and does the same things. Throughout the entire movie he makes no secret about his explicit murderous intentions and yet no one listens. By the end he is so desperate he even calls his lawyer to make a confession but he only laughs at him and says he couldn't have killed Paul Allen because he recently had dinner with him. (people thought that means Bateman was only fantasizing about killing him) but what it actually implies is that either the lawyer mistook Paul Allen for someone else or Bateman mistook Paul Allen for someone else and killed the wrong person (although the first one makes more sense to me). Because it was also established that people get mistaken for other people all the time. Paul Allen called Bateman Marcus Halberstram and he didn't correct him about it. Halberstram also works at the same office. The lawyer thought he saw Paul Allen but... when everybody looks the same and basically behaves the same - how can you tell them apart from one another. Identity doesn't exist anymore and no one cares about your personality. In the end Bateman's line "this confession meant nothing" is so important because he realizes that he is trapped inside his world without recognition or acknowledgement. With a sign that says "this is not an exit" behind behind him in the last shot. (I once saw an analysis about that but I can't find it right now) Because as much as he wants to stand out - he also wants to fit in and he's too dependent on his lifestyle to just get out it all. Though - All of this does not mean though that he isn't crazy. He is crazy and psychotic. And the scene with the cat and the ATM machine shows that maybe not everything we see happened exactly as we have seen. In some ways he could be a unreliable narrator. But I have no doubt about him being a serial killer. The ending is actually really sad...to realize what some people are willing to do in order to be seen as an individual and yet he still fails because society doesn't care. I read the book many times and this is always the conclusion I have (at least some of it, the book is so much more explicit in its depiction of sex, violence and Bateman's everybody's addiction to materialsm. But I love the movie as well, even though the book is so much better, it still has an amazing performance by Christian Bale and apart from the ending it does a very good job of adapting the source material. Actually I think the movie is endlessy rewatchable and disturbing and funny. There are scenes in this movie I have seen hundreds of times. Also...we actually get to see Bat(e)man killing the Joker 😂 Also Bateman being a killer is a reason why I love this movie. The "it was all a dream or a fantasy" cliché is overused and does not fit the intention of the book or the movie. It just doesn't make sense.

....holy shit. I was most certainly wondering about this being in his head, and if I remember correctly, I came to the conclusion that it did. Ironically, arriving at the same conclusion about identity and sameness and the such. I've definitely gotta read the book to see if it comes off significantly differently.

That's a lot but well stated. Kinda took me from pretty good to "holy shit I've gotta see that again." 😬😂

I must also say Patrick Bateman is one of my favorite movie and book characters of all time. And it's my favorite Christian Bale performance (I've seen all of his movies!) - which really means something since he's always incredible. But reading the book and then seeing him as the character - he's simply perfection. Sadly he didn't win anything for it, but not that surprising since the movie and the book is far too controversial. ah I can watch it now, the download is finally complete 😊 can't wait for your reaction to the business card scene ("Oh my god it even has a watermark") 🤣 and the scene with the axe and the rain coat 😂
