The ending is up for interpretation. Did the lawyer say he had dinner with Paul Allen because Paul is alive, or because everyone's so wrapped up in themselves they don't even know who they're having dinner with. Were there no bodies at Paul Allen's place because he never killed anyone, or did the realtor cover it up so the value of the apartment wouldn't go down (after all, money and wealth is all that matters, not the lives of those people). Whether he is a serial killer, or a mentally ill man crying out for help, the point is that either way, no one is listening.

[@russellward4624]

@AUGH the director of the film ont he commentary said he killed the first half of the people and then from the cat in the ATM is his psychosis going off the deep end.

[@russellward4624]

I don't think Paul Allen can be alive. His family hired a private detective to find him. He's not showing up to work. The lawyer just mistakes someone for Paul. He's the person Willem Defoe talks about mistakenly having lunch with someone and thinking it's Paul Allen. He doesn't know the difference between Davis and Bateman, like everyone else.

[@russellward4624]

@AUGH ah I said on the commentary. Listen to it

[@crystalscolza1663]

I remember something about Paul Allen's family being heavily connected. I think that they believed it possible, Paul was the one that left those bodies in his apartment, and fled, and his family went ahead and kept with the excuse that he was in London and not anywhere near his apartment where those bodies were found. That's why the real estate agent when she realized he didn't see an ad, was like, never come back here again because the real estate agent worked for the family.

[@becidju]

@AUGH AUUGGGGGHHHHH

[@ricoguy7849]

I love every scene with Willem Dafoe. They took multiple takes with one take being he knew, another being he suspects, and another that he doesn't suspect at all. They then combined all the takes to make it so the audience could never tell what the character was thinking, and it just gives that weird feeling.

[@dlweiss]

Rather than believing that none of it really happened, I always choose to believe that all of it DID happen, but that Patrick is surrounded by people who are actually every bit as cold, psychotic, and inhuman as he is. So when the realtor found Paul's apartment full of corpses, she simply had them disposed of and repainted the place so she could sell it. And when Patrick openly refers to killing and maiming women, everyone around him is too self-involved to care or even notice. And so that's why Patrick decides that his "confession has meant nothing" - because he realizes that he's not special, and not different from the people around him.

[@dlweiss]

Though there are, of course, exceptions when seeing the people who aren't as rich as Patrick and his contemporaries - his secretary, the sex workers, and even the homeless man all exhibit actual human emotions and behavior. Which is where the satire/criticism comes back into play, suggesting that certain wealthy lifestyles breed psychos by the dozen. :)

[@RoxanaGark]

@@dlweiss Another film example of that is the two guys from Alfred Hitchcock's Rope.

[@jojivlogs3697]

For real, Its astounding

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

Everybody in this movie is so completely superficial and self-absorbed I think that nobody notices Patrick repeatedly confessing to being a psychopathic serial killer. Though this is also a classic example of the unreliable narrator so who knows what's really happening and what's not.

[@kieranjones778]

The card scene where he’s sweating his co workers were creeped out because he made himself sweat on command

[@midianmtd]

The fact that this was a satire on the excesses of the yuppy culture in the 80's was lost on a lot of people. The novel written by Bret Easton Ellis (who also wrote Less Than Zero), was viewed as sexist violence. But over time people have been able to see it as what is was.

[@anniethenonnymouse]

Less Than Zero was disturbing and beautiful. Really underrated!

[@betteryourlife865]

It’s still sexist and homeless people violence. I really don’t see any lesson learned except people in power can get away with anything they please cause people won’t believe them

[@nomarxistspls90]

Yeah I read the novel before seeing the film. Way better that way imo. Both the novel and film are brilliant

[@albertjimeno807]

It went into the '90s too. Not late-'90s or 2000 of course, but I remember it all lingering as late as mid-'90s. Maybe it wasn't far removed enough in time for people to compartmentalize it, I'm theorizing.

[@MichaelLesesne]

Fun Fact: The reason Willem Dafoe’s character seems to shift perspectives so much is because the director filmed each of his scenes 3 times: once as if he knew Patrick was guilty, once as if he wasn’t sure, and once as if he knew Patrick was innocent. Then, they mixed and matched the reactions for the shots.

[@hannahmckibbin1547]

[@graceanfrederick4477]

[@shortandsweet_03]

My understanding of the ending when I first saw it was that the lawyer is pretending to have had dinner with Paul Allen in London in order to clear Patrick's name. I felt like that's why Patrick's relieved when he realises what he is implying and is jolly at the table. But now I'm confused too. 😕

[@jojivlogs3697]

Thats the point! It may or may not have happened. It can literally be either one.

[@amadeusagripino6862]

Seeing how they counfuse people's names all around because they all look the same, chances are the lawyer had dinner with another guy he though he was Paul Allen

[@Philip-Poulsen]

I have been teaching both the novel and movie a few times, and it is definitely possible to interpret both in multiple ways. As the movie and novel criticize and satirize capitalism and materialism to a large extent, when Bateman visits Paul Allen's apartment at the end of the film, it is very likely that the owners of Paul Allen's apartment building have simply renovated the place completely and removed any trace of the bodies in order to maximize the profit of selling the apartment again after Paul Allen's death. The value of the place would take a significant hit if it was known as the apartment of a serial killer's rampage, which is why the real estate agent is so suspicious during her conversation with Bateman. As you also point out during the film, most of the characters have trouble recognizing other people and often mistake people for someone else, which is even more pronounced in the novel. I do think that Bateman's lawyer is simply mistaken someone else for Paul Allen, just like Paul Allen mistakes Patrick Bateman for Marcus Halberstram. Again, it is possible to interpret these things in many different ways, so this is simply my two cents! I always enjoy your very genuine reactions! Keep it up!

[@jojivlogs3697]

Its amazing, If he did do the murders (or at least SOME of them) it also is showing how the rich and powerful aren't held accountable for their actions. Funny enough if you think he didn't do it there is a ton more to dissect about what went down on a psychological level and why, I think that's what makes it amazing cause if you believe he did it or not each side has something to say.

[@Philip-Poulsen]

@@jojivlogs3697 - Absolutely! This is also one of the reasons why no one pays attention to what Patrick is telling them. He states multiple times that he is a deranged serial killer, but people corrupted by materialism only hear what they want to hear. Or, at least, that is something one could potentially argue. And yes! If he did not commit any of them, the film works on a very different level.

[@Aemond-qj4xt]

its not possible to interpret both ways because the movie makes it clear he is hallucinating. if you look at the scene where he is dragging the bag he has a trial of blood behind him but when it he leaves the door the trail dissappears and obviously the feed me a stray cat was a hallucination too and its all too ridiclous to be actually occuring like he didnt drop a chainsaw through many floors killing a girl with it thats insane and no one in the building noticed? also how he killed the janitor and the receptionist and then the next day he goes out and the helicopters disappear like nothing happened? it definetly is all in his head and you can see that also in his book everything he imagined was drawn including the chainsaw on the girl and everyone says that patrick is such a dork because he actually is he is really mentally ill and imagining everything and everyone notices how ridiculous he acts

[@Philip-Poulsen]

@@Aemond-qj4xt - I disagree with you on the fact that the movie can only be interpreted in the way that you suggest. However, I do agree with you that your interpretation is one way of viewing the film, which is perhaps equally good to other suggestions. To claim, however, that this is the only way to view the film is a detriment to the enormous strength of the material, both novel and film. Bateman is most likely hallucinating some of it, including the scene with the cat and the police officers, but to think that all of it is one big hallucination because of mental illness feels very much against Bret Easton Ellis’s philosophy, and how Mary Harron approached the film when she was directing it. The film is very much being coy on purpose, leaving traces and clues to suggest multiple interpretations, which is why it is so great-in my opinion…

[@Aemond-qj4xt]

@@Philip-Poulsen how do you explain the blood trail disappearing? That's a hint that it's all a hallucination because it doesn't make any sense that the blood trail only is a hallucination

[@abovewater6918]

Both the book and movie are meant to be ambiguous as to whether he did the murders or not. The director more leaned towards he did the murders (well some of them, before he totally loses his grip on reality). Also the people around Patrick are so self absorbed that they wouldn't notice or care, even if Patrick did murder people.

[@mercurymachines4311]

This is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Great reaction.

[@joanjobs4359]

Most of the other actors on set like Josh Lucas thought Bale was doing a terrible job, didn't understand what the director saw in him...until they saw the finished product and realized how brilliant his performance of a performance was. He had to go beyond everyone's superficial performance of superficial of superficial people without crossing over into purely comedic satire. This is the true Bruce Wayne.

[@albertjimeno807]

Satirical black comedy and horror. Not mutually exclusive imho.

[@conker206]

My interpretation of the ending is that Patrick's CEO father covered up everything. The realtor was an "agent" of Patrick's dad and was there to facilitate the coverup. That's why she seemed so cold and weird. It was like a foreign spy giving him the signal "I suggest you go....and don't come back." It was another way of saying "We got this under control. Stay away from here if you don't want to get caught." Also Patrick's lawyer said "He had dinner with Paul Allen twice in London so it's not possible." What if his lawyer was trying to stay on script?

[@commonchadw2198]

My interpretation is that this whole movies takes place with Patrick's head, it would make a lot of sense actually.

[@paulamoya7956]

The lawyer was covering for him The way lawyers sometimes do. His father owns the company and k ows his sons a liability so the lawyer cleaned but the scene and prepared him an alibi . He was trying to get out of there without breaking character as his lawyer . His father would be over if this was ever out so the lawyer essentially is hired “ cleanup” for whatever Patrick gets into . That’s what I heard a long time ago from an interview a few years after its released

[@ricardomiles2957]

The author from the book that was based off said it's all real. Bateman has problems and hallucination but he did killed people. People ignore his confessions because Bateman lives in a materialistic society that only cares about status and appearances, making everyone literally being the same person(you can notice how not just the cards but the outfits of Bateman friends and their wives). The woman in Paul's apartment got rid of all the bodies there so she could sell the apartment and the lawyer, just like many other characters in the film he mixes up people, and for what we know the Paul Allen who dies couldn't even be the real one and he just mixed up. Despite the title, the real monster isn't Bateman the people around him, the society he lives in that's so disturbing and distorted that makes everyone around him equally as horrible

[@flakycroissant9349]

The filmmakers actually stated that the ending was real and he did kill those people, however, he would not be jailed because of his high place in society

[@bignumbers]

I think the old woman was just trying to sell Paul Allen's old apartment and didn't want it being known that people were killed there. So, being more concerned with selling than getting justice for the victims, she would just rather help the murderer get away with it.

[@h.donnellgrayiii4276]

The line about his father being the head of the company, he can do anything he likes by Reese Witherspoon's character is the most important line in the film...

[@katwebbxo]

Lol this movie is wild. I remember loving it when I was a teenager (mainly because of the actors in it) but I still hate the dog killing scene. The way Patrick says "No, Luis. It's not me. You're mistaken." still makes me laugh lmao. I'm the same way about the cat part too. 😅

[@xavierrenegadeangel1356]

If you enjoy "pop punk"music there's a song by an American band called "The Front Bottoms" which makes me think of when you say the word "bussy", but also they have a song called "The Boredom is the Reason I Started Swimming. It’s Also the Reason I Started Sinking", and it makes reference to several of the internal monologues portrayed in both the book and movie versions of American Pyscho.

[@LucrativePerson]

The reason that William Defoe scene was so touching is because they filmed it three times one where William knew Bateman was the killer one where he was suspecting he was the killer and one where he was completely oblivious to Bateman being the killer then they added them all together so you never really knew, they tried using most the oblivious scene when giving out the most evidence leading to Patrick being the killer so us viewers never knew what was happening

[@momalo1623]

the Willem Dafoe questioning scenes with Bale was shot three times each, one where he acted as if he didn't know if batman killed, one as if he suspected him, and one as if he fully knew, then they chopped them up and mixed them to keep you guessing.

[@JangTheKim]

I think this movie is satire on the rich and society as well. When he was speaking crazy stuff, the other people didn't hear it because people have a perception of what people like Bateman would say. You are so right about this being very similar to Joker. I had not thought about that. But I loved how they showed the normal and the crazy and how fine of line it is. It's up to the viewer to define their viewing experience.

[@nehankhan1584]

Fun fact: The director asked Dafoe to perform three separate times. In the first take, Dafoe was told that his character knew Bateman was the killer, in the second he was told to be suspicious, and in the third, he was totally oblivious. Later, in the editing of each of these interviews, the takes were spliced together to keep the audience at a loss to the detective’s suspicions, for at one moment he seemed accusing and the next a close friend. Also every one including Reese Witherspoon were worried that Christian Bale wasn’t a big enough name or a good enough actor to play this role. He definitely proved them wrong!

[@eggnotegg]

im sure that someone has already said this but the interrogation scene was shot three different ways. one where kimble suspects bateman, one where he's unsure, and one where he doesn't suspect him. they then spliced moments from each version and made a scene where you can't tell exactly what the interrogator is thinking.

[@willspikes]

fun fact, in the scene where Willem Dafoe is cross-examining Cristian Bale they did several takes where Willem acted like Detective Kimball knew he killed Paul Allen, one where he wasn't sure Bateman killed Paul Allen and one where he didn't know he killed Paul Allen and stitched them together, so it gives the viewer complete uncertainty on what the detective actually thinks

The point is you aren't supposed to know if any of it happened , Maybe some murders are real or some aren't, who knows? There's actually a lot to take from the movie, the psychological stuff etc. If you believe he did do the murders and it all was a cover up then the theme of the movie is how being rich and powerful doesn't hold you accountable to your actions. If the murders didn't happen then its about the social pressures of a life like that and how it can screw with you mentally, the literal façade you have to put on, he's in reality a loser and this is the way he copes in his head, but hes mentally sick so he doesn't know what's real, That's why when he spouts crazy stuff in front of people they don't seem to react cause its in his head. I'm sure there's lots to dissect and even more arguments for each side and what they mean, But that's what makes the movie so good.

The movie is basically a satire of 1980s Wall Street greed and materialism. Any one of those rich guys could be like Patrick Bateman. Lewis, the guy who comes to out Patrick, is probably the only guy who isn't a complete psychopath. I like to think that most of the most is just Patrick's hallucination, which further drives home the point that any one of those Wall Street guys could be a psychopath and that whatever hallucination Patrick is having the rest of that group is having as well. It works really well as social commentary. Otherwise, if it "really happened" within the context of the movie, all the social commentary makes a lot less sense, because it's basically just a standard late 90s-early 2000s horror movie about a homicidal manic whose motivations aren't really explained except that this is who he is and that's all there is to it. If you want another weird, psychological thriller movie, Eyes Wide Shut was Stanley Kubrick's last film, released posthumously. It's not just a raunchy, over the top softcore porn movie, it's also social commentary on secret societies and all that stuff. It's definitely creepy.

Well there is still a commentary If he did do it, Basically its showing that the rich and powerful aren't held accountable for their actions, Having a company go so far to get rid of the traces of the murders just so they can keep profits. Its not as deep as if he didn't murder, but its something, And I'm sure there's more then just that for the murdering side of it.

That greed and materialism is still very much there.

18:59 I think if I remember correctly they would do three different takes with William, then they would jumble them up in these sense 1 where he's unaware, one where he's like half way to figuring it out and one where he flat out knows. Hence why his face changes so much. I might be wrong on that though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnjNoahjZ8ykras

So I just recently watched it and I have heard from many people that it was a dark comedy, and have seen many dark comedies before, but nothing in this movie, would I ever consider to be that. It was a deeply disturbing film.
