That's assuming he actually killed anyone at all. It's just as likely he imagined everything (or some of it) in a series of pathetic sociopathic power and revenge fantasies. Or he has schizophrenia.

Very good watchalong, glad you enjoyed it. Some people believe its all imaginative but I have seen that claim debunked by the author herself. If I'm being honest it all can be played down to one of two things. He is the son of the president of a very profound company so he is to be protected, that means all the crimes he committed were either washed away or protected. The other option is he is some sort of skin changer that constantly changes who he is, hence why he is mistaken for someone else and continues to wear the exact same suits everyone else does along with the face mask (peeling of ones old self). I doubt any of it is imaginative and yes even the killing of the police or the receptionist in the hotel. The movie itself just focuses on how prestige is the only thing that matters. Valentino suits, reservations and everyone being in a relationship (even the obvious gay man) with women. it's all about being the *same* That's my assumption at least. And he wants to break away from "being the same" But he can't, hence why he says what he says at the end. The torment for him is the lack of individuality. Even when he kills he has zero change from who he associated with.

Yooo, great film. Remember that Bateman is telling the story. There's a debate(man) that none of this happened at all and it's the delusional fantasy of a faceless corpo. But if it did happen, the "I want to fit in" line at the beginning is referencing his camouflage. "I'm simply not there..." is a confession to the viewer. "I want to fit in" is an explanation to another character of why he continues to live a "normal" life. This is one of my favorite films of all time. It's probably my number one of my top five. The tanning bed scene where it panned up his body was supposed to evoke the feeling that you're looking at a shark. This film had so much thought and care put into it.

This movie (and book) is a fucking masterpiece. It's the little details that make so rewatchable, because there's things that just don't add up. Like how no one actually pays attention to what anyone else says and how many people mistake each other for someone else. There's a cloud of ambiguity hanging over the entire plot. Lol.

So, a common misinterpretation to this movie is that Bateman just imagined it all. At least according to the original author of the book, and the director of the movie, he absolutely killed all those people. The story is a social satire of the 80's yuppie culture. The reason he was able to get away with the most obvious shit ever was because everybody was too self-involved to notice or even care.

They never claimed he killed all those people. Just that he killed some people like homeless people and prostitutes. It is much more open ended about the killings at the end. Most likely those didn't happen or what happened wasn't remotely like what we were shown.

I love the way they did the scenes with the detective. Shooting it three times and splicing it so it`s really hard to read how the detective reads the situation and information. One were he knows, one were he is unsure and one were he is oblivious. Great choice.

'Fun fact' - I have a button that says I Have To Return Some Videotapes...yeah, that's why I used the ' ' quotes. The book is way more gruesome and intense, and has whole chapters devoted to Whitney Houston, Genesis etc - which breaks up the horrific killings nicely.

Notice how when the detective holds up the Huey Lewis and the news disc, it shines light into Patrick eyes, usually this would would make someone blink, but he carries with a cold stare.

Impressive, yes that was Ed Kemper "The Co Ed Killer" who said the head on a stick line..However Ed Gein was an inspiration for Leatherface so The Texas Chainsaw movie in background and Patrick's use of a chainsaw connect very nicely...Ps Douchebag Chic had me hysterical belongs on a T shirt..

Willem Dafoe played the detective 3 ways: knowing Patrick was the killer, not thinking patrick was the killer, and not being sure if he was or not, and the director had different takes spliced in together so we never really know what the detective is thinking just like from Patricks point of view

It's tricky because the novel leads you to believe that it's all true and the reason for the confusion about people's names is the interchangeability of everyone in this world - one yuppie is as loathsome as another. But the movie - and this wasn't the director's intention, evidently - indicates that it's all, or mostly, in Patrick's head (e.g., the magical exploding police car, never getting ID'd by security cameras, etc.). Either way, it's a great satire of the 80s. Not sure it speaks well of later generations that this is the most memed movie ever outside of the Marvel stuff, but then again, my generation (X) was the one who made this novel big in the first place, so I guess it's a wash.

The film's about narcissism and the whole yuppie culture back in the 80s. Notice how everyone looks the same. Similar suits, haircut, glasses, business cards, credit cards. It's all just a mish mash of nothing except pure vanity. They also keep mistaking each other for different people, and no one gives a shit about Patrick's murders or weird behavior cuz they don't care. They're all lost in their own little world and self-importance. Great stuff.

4:45 _"…He also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses."_ I forgot they made mention of the glasses. I had a pair of Oliver Peoples glasses back in the late '80s/early '90s. It was the only time I ever actually had someone say, _"Nice glasses! Are those Oliver Peoples?"_ Sure they looked good. But not *_so_* remarkable as to be noticed by name IMO. 🤷🏼♂️ IMO it was all in his head. What we saw in the drawings were the only manifestations of the horrific acts.
