i love it because there was a kid diagnosed with psychopathy, and he said he's scared to become a monster eventually. to me, Patrick is the same. he doesn't take pleasure in his violent tendencies, but he has no control over it. he even warns people about it but nobody listens to him, and because no one is there to stop him, he will eventually succumb to it and become a monster

The saddest thing is the fact that she also is the only one (apart from William Dafoes character) who even acknowledges Patricks existence throughout the movie - or at least care a little bit for him (for instance, she's the only one who notices that Paul Allen calls Patrick by the wrong name).

[@kingsfield3945]

Jean realizes he exists as well.

[@Sarvagya4]

Nicole Wolslegel thats the kind of life these rich empty people share. I've had a lifelong dream that my family has a lot of money and a big house. When we got the big house, we ended up locking ourselves in our respective rooms and hardly seeing each other as we are all so busy all the time with work. Simplicity in life is closeness and sharing and being truly alive. Money is not as important as people have made it seem or these multi billionaires wont be trying to get even richer than they already are.

[@swirlingtoilets]

The movie (and the book) are written in such a way that one way to read them is that Patrick never actually kills anyone or does anything homicidal or insane, that they're all just fantasies and delusions from his own mind. One way to read this scene is that Patrick's drawing on the table is just a hallucination of his own mind, and not actually there. It's equally justifiable that he did actually draw it, and the world he exists in is so self-absorbed that it doesn't even notice it, or notice when he says he needs to act out homicidal behavior on a massive level. It's really up to interpretation

[@apolloangevin9743]

I like how "I need to engage in homicidal behavior on a massive scale..." just goes over her head.

[@Arthur-sv1vk]

@@briankerogoi4798 What about his lawyer telling him that he had dinner with Paul Allen "10 days ago"? I think he killed everyone except for Paul.

[@Arthur-sv1vk]

@Buttrape Bill so he killed everybody and the point of the movie was that no one noticed it because they are all too self absorbed?

[@PrimetimeX]

Thats why he broke up with her. Imagine dating someone who never listens to what you have to say or truly cares about your problems. That sentence was a cry for help and she completely ignored it. That was the feather that broke the camel's back for Bateman.

[@SolSilence]

@@PrimetimeX No, he broke up with her because she was a mirror image of him, and the reflection was none-existent, which doesn't massage his ego and lack of interior self. He wants to be adored and told he is amazing, he doesn't want someone who is self-absorbed because he is self-absorbed.

[@carlpanzram2012]

@@KK-wq1kk He did kill Paul Allen. The movie is about the dynamic between Patrick Batemans sick mind and the sick culture he lives in. On one hand he looses grip on reality and imagines killings that are not happening, on the other hand his environment is so superficial and vain that they are not able to see the killings that are Happening. When he kills a homeless or a prostitute nobody cares because they are deemed worthless, when he kills Patrick Bateman nobody care because people can't even tell each other apart most of the time. This makes Patrick realize that nothing he does matters. His murders were meaningless, his confession was meaningless, meaningless to him and meaningless to everyone else, he hardly even exists at all. He is a antisocial schizophrenic with no sense of self perfectly adapted to a culture of people with no sense of others. In my opinion the scene that perfectly embodies this is the scene where he has prostitutes over. He pays woman money to listen to him cite trivial musical facts. He is not a real person, and his environment is not a real social environment. But that's just my personal opinion. I think the director failed to show that some things were definitely real and some were definitely imagined. Ive read he regrets the last scene because it gives the impression it was ALL in Batemans head, but it's obvious that he intended to display other times that SOME of it was definitely just in Batemans head.

Underrated line: “I know that, uh, your friends are my friends, and, uh, I’ve thought about that. You can have em.” Bale’s delivery sends me every time, he’s just so passionate about murdering prostitutes.

[@LeedleLee457]

"Your friends are my friends. And my friends are your friends." "I thought about that... You can have them." One of my favorite lines ever! So funny, and sadly relatable.

[@eamon4800]

But he did kill past girlfriends we find that out when he is conferencing on the phone.

[@UncleJoeNeonCherry]

Those were the girls he was only involved with for sex and partying without any emotional attachment. In the book he actually spares one of them after they have sex and he wants to kill her but she is nice and friendly to him saying that he's the first guy to actually be sweet to her and not all macho, which almost brings him to tears. Most of his sex partners are as self-obsessesd as Bateman himself, which lets him kill them without empathy. The only exception is a former college crush who told him she doesn't care about him anymore - but even that may be his violent daydreaming after having his heart broken.
