Any movie lover or even any story lover knows it’s not about the violence. It’s a very compelling depiction that balances between fiction and non-fiction. Personally I find humour in absurdity so naturally I enjoy this storyline. I can empathize with someone who maybe doesn’t feel that way and can be distracted by the violence but the movie is better if you can disconnect yourself from social norms.

The one main scene for me that casts doubt as to wether it was all real or not, was when Bateman is dragging Paul Allen's body through the building's reception whilst leaving a huge trail of blood as he does so, and nobody says anything. In fact, from what I remember ... in the next scene Bateman is putting the body into the Taxi trunk and the blood trail has then magically disappeared.

The book gives clues that Bateman doesn't actually murder anyone, he is playing out the scenarios in his mind. There are actually more scenes in the book that should have made the film but would have given Batemans mental psychopathy away.

there's quite a bit of this in movie and book . director annoyingly tries to slant the viewer toward interpreting these would be gaffs as grotesque male privilege - if you tip the matre de you can do whatever you want sort of thing . which makes it seem like she could be jealous of such a dynamic that is not present in the context she creates . then she tries to save her artistic integrity by including the other overly ambiguous lawyer/bateman phone call where the lead is told that he has indeed imagined it all . which she tries to hijack again by callously implying all of these men look so similar and are so blind that they wouldn't be able to positively identify one another without taking the other's word for it .

Bale's voice sounds like a hot chocolate. And his native accent is so sexy. He is sexy ! His wife is one lucky woman... I remember when in the inerview for some magazine, it was GQ probably, Bale was asked how his wife endures his constant, acting transformations and his answer was she is great, she is very understanding etc., but also, that she got to sleep with so many different men (meaning his roles) - and it's so so hot ! I also read they actually eloped and got married shortly after he finished shooting American Psycho - never knew he was such a romantic in private life!

I think one reading of the film is to look at Bateman as an more of an avatar for the attitudes and beliefs of the yuppies he's a parody of. In that reading, motivation in the deeper human sense (something informed by your beliefs and past experiences) doesn't really apply. But that's just my take

@@henryschneider9101 sorry but your response makes no sense. If he was a 'just a yuppie' then he would be happy with this lifestyle, and revel in it..... but he is not, just like Scarface for example. he is much more of an 'anti yuppie' if you really take the whole story into consideration. If Bateman is wicked and evil, then so is Scarface, and so are all the politicians and presidents who have ever engaged in war. And to be honest, I don't find the story of Bateman funny at all. - the story of bateman is sad he is confused and feeling guilty about something, and that propels his actions as a misguided and cnfused form of catharsis. He is a victim, and so are his victims. Whoever lies at the top of this chain is the real American Psycho, and that is Bret Easton Ellis and the rest of his pseudo intellectual shit author generation

He likes it, he just maintains that it didn’t need to be a movie. It’s not a book that can be adapted into a conventional film without sacrificing quite a bit and watering down many elements. As a result, it doesn’t _really_ capture his own sensibility so well, but it does a great job transforming it into something more unique. Conversely, Rules of Attraction is the movie he considers the best adaptation of his work, because it manages to successfully capture his voice and his style in a way American Psycho’s movie didn’t. The flipside is that Rules of Attraction maybe isn’t quite as strong or as tight of an actual *movie* as Harron’s adaptation (even though I love it and agree with his sentiments that it’s the best adaptation of his work).

The book gives clues that Bateman doesn't actually murder anyone and is rejecting the reality he lives in by playing out each scenario in his own mind. His confession on the answering machine and empty apartment belonging to Paul Allen give clues that he believes that he committed the murders but is left unsure if he actually did. His lawyer treating the confession like a joke and telling Bateman that he isn't capable of being a murderer, that he is in effect, a pussy.
