Did he really kill all those people?

What did his lawyer mean at the end?
>>
>>71786515
Yes

The lawyer did it
>>
>>71786515
He killed them. But he gets away with it because everybody keeps getting everyone else's name wrong. Seemed pretty simple to me.

that's it. in detroit only 30% of murders are solved and that statistic is probably sugar coated. only way you get caught is if you're a nigger shouting U AINT NEVA FUK WID 42TH STREET CLARENCE MCSMITH 2 FLOOR AGAIN NIGGUH YEAH NIGGUH and then run off while shooting their guns in the air like a fucking sandnigger with an ak

He's psychotic though, it's implied that he only imagined all of it.

He didn't do it, just like a lot of anons, he likes to imagine that he's a big powerful man that can do whatever he wants, but in the end he's just a pussy with mental issues.

What did he mean by this?

Funny how "it was all a dream" is the worst way to end a movie. Except for american psycho. This answer makes no sense. Absolutely pleb

I loved this movie except for the ending.
The point of the movie was that he has psychopathy, right?
Not schizophrenia.
It just seemed like it didn't fit at all. Just seemed out pf place for a twist.

Unless I'm getting it wrong or something.

The book was better because it was much more open-ended and open to interpretation. Considering it was just text, it was much less literal than any plot a movie can potray. I don't mean to sound pretentious but i'm serious. The book was a lot more incoherent and abstract, like Bateman's mind.

>That scene where he kills the kid at the zoo and then comes back to "save" the kid, pretending to be a doctor, after the mom finds him, but just sits there and watches him die
>That scene where he kills the fag and his poodle in the park

Pure Kino-knigii.

>Implying Pschopathy and schizophrenia are mutually exclusive

He only made it worse with his constant drug use and odd behavior.
>>
>>71786515
Most of them
The lawyer didn't even know it was Bateman for half the conversation. When Bateman confesses the lawyer is still probably unsure of who is actually admitting they've killed +50 people and while scared has more important things to do.

he did it

the book wasn't really about him though, it was just commentary on capitalism
>>
>>71790800
>on capitalism
No it wasn't. It was a commentary on the souless, vapid, and shallow lives everyone lives in the modern era. The only reason Bateman was used is because those facts are so much more apparent at the peak of society.

It's almost uncanny how the book's commentaries are so apt and relevant today, despite being written relatively long ago.
>>
>>71786515
I think there were supposed to be some body-mind mix-ups going on and someone was cleaning up the bodies. Like it was some sort of elaborate setup and nobody knew what was going on besides the real estate people. But really I hardly have a clue.

Bateman was a closet gay with HIV

It's much clearer in the book

it was commentary on WASPS

It was literally just a satire about yuppies you morons. Not modern society. Not capitalism. Just yuppies. Everyone hated yuppies in the 1980s. The book took that and ran with it.

Yuppies were a facet of modern society. Almost every part of modern society is lampooned and bateman even talks about it in his own monologues. There's also the elements like the degenerate daytime talkshow Bateman is addicted to, and the real estate agent, that make it clear it's about society as a whole rather than just yuppies.

>>71791495
The book was written by a homosexual. To say the author's intention was to lampoon degeneracy is retarded.

>10 year old cousin asks to see american psycho
>i say sure
>30 minutes in, he's bored and says it's ok to turn off

this is how you know films are shit when 10 year olds don't even like them
>>
>>71791562
Degeneracy is relative and it's less so about the degeneracy of modern life than it is about the postmodern emptiness of it all.
>>
Yes.

Both the author of the book and the director of the film said he did it.

Except the thing with the cops and blowing up the car. That was just his hallucination.

>>71791631
kill yourself, after you kill your cousin. The world will be better off without the both of you
