American Psycho *spoilers*

I loved it. While I was watching it I wasn't so sure, then afterwards the more I thought about it, the more funny it all was. I think that it doesn't matter if he was hallucinating it or not, because it all is a foreshadowing of the acts he is about to commit. Normally I hate the "it was all a dream" endings. Hate them with a passion. They took a comical approach to the violence to get the viewer to buy in to the "fun" of psychosis, but the ending lets the viewer off the hook because all the bad things didn't really happen to those people. So we are allowed to enjoy the dark humor, but at the same time we know that in the end he really IS messed up in the head and we are free to really despise him for it.

And the business card scene was the best!

As with most movies, it was nowhere as good as the book.

😕😕😕 It was WAY better than the book. The book was unmitigated drivel with no real direction. The film had focus, intensity, and Christian Bale naked.
 
Actually I think ending was suppose to leave you wondering if what he did actually happened or not.

After the first viewing I thought it was all in his mind and it never happened...but after repeat viewing I think he actually did do the murders. The people in the movie were so stuck on themselves and what others thought of them that they didn't take the time (or care) to notice what he was doing. The scene at the end when he goes back to the apartment and the lady is there, she tells him to never come back..she knew what he did and got rid of it just so it wouldn't decrease the value of it..so she could make more money.

Yeah, that's why I like this movie. That interpretation is just as valid as the one I wrote above. While the violence is quite straightforward, the movie doesn't spell out what you're supposed to think. And the real message has nothing to do with the murders, it's all about the psychosis of affluence and the '80s.
 
The business card scenes are some of the funniest moments I have ever seen in a film.

This is one of my favorite films.
 
American Psycho was great (except for all the senseless killing)


-I always thought he commited all those murders but I will go back and watch it again with that in mind. Strange but good movie.

How could 99% of the movie be a dream?
 
hahahhaa...those scenes in which he goes on to praise in a poetic way on the merits of Huey Lewis & the News , Phil Collins, and Whitney Houston to people....hahahhaha
 
Yup, I really like this movie too. Especially when he starts pontificating on whatever musician/singer/band/song he started playing.
 
after reading the book many years ago...I was looking forward to the movie...I was dissapointed with it. :disgust:
