    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

  • @Philip-Poulsen
    @Philip-Poulsen 2 роки тому +136

    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!

      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.

      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

      @@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…

    Both the book and movie are meant to be ambiguous as to whether he did the murders or not.

Also the people around Patrick are so self absorbed that they wouldn't notice or care, even if Patrick did murder people.

    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

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?

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.

    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.

    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

    If you like Christian Bale's acting so much, you should watch his first American movie "Empire of the Sun". A hidden gem directed by an early Steven Spielberg from 1987.

    this movie is so crazy in what it whats you to think that they literally had Willem Dafoe record his interrogation lines 3 separate times in 3 different ways, one where he knew what Bateman did, one where he had no idea, and one where he didnt care i think was the last one and then mixed all 3 up so that you wouldnt know what he was thinking

    @lawrencefine5020 2 роки тому +2

    I've seen this movie maybe 10 times and I still don't know what actually happened. And I think that's what the director wanted, ambiguity. One thing that was certain was the dark humor hit on target every time. It took the edge off how morbidly psychotic Patrick was.
    I think I like not knowing exactly what happened.
    This was a fun watch, subscribed.

  • @christopherrichard1027
    @christopherrichard1027 Рік тому +1

    The writer confirmed that he did in fact kill all of those people but everyone is so self centered around him and his job that they simply to not care: example the lady who remodeled Paul Allen’s apartment took the body’s out and repainted and put together that Patrick came back to tend to the bodies hense her asking to not start any trouble.

  • @pugtie4695
    @pugtie4695 2 роки тому

    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.

    When I saw this movie the first time, I thought it all happened, and didn't understand the ending, but on my second rewatch, I formed my own conclusion that P.B suffers from some personality disorder, where he invasions himself doing all of these things, and then when he snaps out of his "second personality" he believes that he has done what he did in his visions.

  • @christhornycroft3686
    @christhornycroft3686 2 роки тому +10

    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.

    • @jojivlogs3697
      @jojivlogs3697 2 роки тому +3

      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.
