>This confession has meant nothing
Someone explain this movie to me, did the lawyer know he did the murders and covered it up? Does all of his friends believe he is such a pleb that there was no way for him to commit the murders?

He did the murders, or at least most of them, but all of the look-alike Wall Street yuppies he knows are so jaded and up their own asses that they don't believe him and don't really care either way.

Matthew Collins
He never killed Paul Allen, check em
Carter Ramirez
I'm pretty sure both interpretations are acceptable. His dad is actually pretty upper echelon and would be able to pull strings.

He committed these dubs

the ambiguity gets to me but when you see the receptionist flipping through his doodles it seemed like he had just fantasized all or most of it, but i like to believe he did it

Read the book, it is 10x better than this garbage movie

The point of the movie is that nothing he does means anything because we live in a world where objects and material possessions define us, not what we really are or our actions. He killed lots of people and no-one even cares, because he's a yuppy with a new york apartment, he's a business manager, he's got an expensive suit and hair product, he dines at Dorsia, he wouldn't do something like that.

you are not fooling anyone Bateman

It isn't that he is seen as he wouldn't do that. Everyone is so similar and replaceable that it may have happened or not. It doesn't matter even if he did.
Remember how characters always mistook one another for someone else?

Isaiah Allen
It doesn't matter if he did the murders or not because it's his meaningless, apathetic, and shallow friends and surroundings that are the true killer.
check 'em

Easton Roberts
Everyone is obsessed with themselves, nobody listens, pays attention or whatever. His "friends" have meetings to arrange other meetings. Everybody wants to fit in to the point where nobody knows who's who anymore. Pat is not any better tho.

You’re not meant to know whether he did it or not because either way it doesn’t matter. It’s very “subversive” in the sense that Bateman is the only one that detects that there is something deeply wrong with his society. He’s the moral compass of the film to some degree, but by the end he’s just spinning round and so are we. We get no satisfaction in this void. That’s real ambiguity that makes sense baby. Don’t listen to these fools tell you he did or didn’t do it. Doesn’t matter.

you misunderstood the movie and the book if you think that
Wyatt Cox
He killed people but by infecting them with AIDS. Most of the guys are gay and in the closet.
You know, that whole Yale thing.

Didnt the shitty 2nd movie confirm him a killer?
Nathan King
Not canon
Nolan Perez
It's a statement of how serial killers aren't much different than the vapid sociopath yuppies on Wall Street. Bateman fits right in and no one suspects him. None of it's real.
Samuel Allen
Nice
Hunter Rogers
Everyone mistakes everyone for everyone else, remember Halberstram, same suit, glasses and haircut (although Batemen's is slightly better).
Ryan Reed
Watch the movie carefully, his murders and the things he does get more and more outlandish while people around him are so self-absorbed they don't even listen when he speaks. Except for the cop, who has nothing to follow up.
He's an empty shithead who lives in a fantasy world, he never hurt anyone. We are in his world with him. It's actually pretty clever, but different from the book. I think it might be better actually.
Christopher Gonzalez
ummmm, yes, I know it's a little late but would it be possible to reserve a post for Dubs or, Trips perhaps.

I'm sorry sir there's nothing available.

>This confession has meant nothing
He's an unreliable narrator and he's just realised it.
Jackson Williams
As someone who gets away with doing no work for weeks and casually performing terminals offenses at work, amd who is not sure if this is natural or if people are turning the other way because my parent is extrenely high up in the company, this is an extremely relatable movie, and the feeling of helplessness when your actions have no consequences is unique
Adam Watson
Yeah, the movie ends with him realizing his life doesn't make sense to him. All the shallow shit he's been obsessed with, the status and empty social life, it was decorations on a void.

it means that none of the events presented in the movie from his point of view are reliable and even he is not sure whether any of those really happened or not (and the retards arguing whether he committed the murders don't get the ending). the conclusion is that he lives in a motionless world where no action have consequences, which is why he can get away with messy murders but will never be able to get a reservation at Dorsia or find any peace or happiness
Eli Walker
>he never hurt anyone
More like he is so far gone he can't identify his victims, so when he confesses it turns out he has identified people that's still alive.
This is the movie where its a running gag that characters have trouble identifying each other, because all of them wear expensive suits, hair products used in the same style, expensive glasses in the same style, and have no personality due their personality being random rich guy thing.
So when he claims to have killed Paul Allen, he killed somebody who to him looked like Paul Allen.
This is also the movie where Bateman and most of the other yuppie characters are far far far more charismatic on the phone, and remember more of their conversations because they are forced to properly identify themselves. But in social life they don't, so they behave like a bunch of disgruntled strangers.
tl:dr
Bateman like many yuppies are unable to identify people properly in physical situations
So Bateman killed people he thought was other people

Literally stoped watching at 7:10 when they pulled out that motherfucker.
Jaxson Hughes
American psycho is one of the rare instances where the movie is much better than the book
The book is a boring repetitive piece of shit
