Did he really kill all those people?
Did he really get these dubs?
Yes, he did kill those people. The point is that nobody gave a shit.
He killed the hobo but everything after that was a fantasy

Look at those 6s....
>>66823347
Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know. Can you repeat the question?The real answer is that it doesn't matter either way: Patrick Bateman, killer or not, will still be a trivial person surrounded by trivial people in his trivial life filled with trivial consumer brands. Even his fantasies about killing people are based on trivial things.

No, you're reading it wrong. What kind of person would ignore the shit Bateman did. Unless the movie was set in a parallel universe where everyone was a sociopath.
>>66823347
It depends. In the movie you choose. In the book he killed.
>>66823955
The higher class is all filled with sociopaths.
>>66823955
Nah no one even knew who he was. People constantly address him by the wrong name and think he's a little bitch.
The shootout was probably just him going a bit mental though.
>>66823766
This.

Yuppies, you idiot. That was the entire point of the film, and you completely missed it.
>>66824037
This, also.

It's not even supposed to be open to interpretation. The point is that everybody is insanely shallow and self-centred.

The building owners covered for him and told him to get out because it would tarnish their reputation. His lawyer genuinely thinks he was meeting Paul Allen, either because he got the name wrong (as happened earlier to Bateman) or because Bateman got his name wrong and killed somebody else, all this is why the detective could never get anywhere with the case.

This is a crucial point. Nobody in the book can keep anyone's names straight because BateMan and all his friends dress and groom themselves exactly the same, not even themselves.
So it's really about how fucked up Yuppies are?

In addition to Bateman's mental state, yes

Explain why the police came after him in police helicopters asking him to surrender.
Check 'em
>>66824307
...because he killed those people?
What are you asking? Why the police did their jobs?
>>66824336
Did you watch the film? They came after him, then they all forgot Bateman existed the next day?
It was obvious he was delirious.

No, because Batman doesn't kill people ;^)
>>66824307
The car exploding and the ATM probably wasn't real. That part is open to interpretation, the ending is clearly supposed to be taken one way.
>>66824402
They didn't though. I can't recall if this happens in the movie but in the book a cab driver recognises Bateman from a wanted poster and uses this opportunity to mug him instead of turning him in further showing how everyone is so caught up in making money they don't care that he is a murderer.
No one at his work cares about the fact that a serial killer shoot a few cops dead last night because they're all just caught up in trying to get rich.
