When I read the book one of my main theories was that Bateman was a closet homosexual himself, and he covers it up with his obsession over his lavish lifestyle and constant sex with numerous women that never leaves him satisfied unless he mutilates them. Not to mention obsessing endlessly over his fashion sense and physical appearance. Of course I could be wrong and he just blatantly hates the yuppie scum he impersonates every day. I'm still hung up on that theory though.
When people do that thing of pretending to hold a phone, it just makes me want to amputate their digits. I dunno about you. I don't know where that came from but I think I started seeing it first in Wall Street in the early '90s. Well, they have paid the price. More must pay, however.
I think it was partly because Patrick was totally distrubed, and partly because he realized that Luis wasn't trying to one-up him like the nothers, but just wanted Patrick to notice him. Same with Jean, he ends up letting her live because he realizes she doesn't just want cock and money, she wants a meaningful relationship.
Hilarious how utterly clueless Luis Carruthers is. I mean when somebody has their hands around another person's neck it's fairly safe to assume it's not out of love or admiration.
Then again in the world of American Psycho everybody is so shallow whatever they say or believe in is pretty much irrelevant. Even Bateman's confessions or people disappearing without a trace is a typical "who cares?" moment.
I used to be subconsciously sexist - becuase when this first came out I had read the book and though "Oh crap" when I reaised it was being directed by a female. Thank God it was though - this is one of the greatest book to film adaptations I know of. I am no longer subconsciously a sexist.
Bateman, in his usual manner, seeks to remove the source of the annoyance, by removing the person who caused the disturbance in Patrick's mental balance (in this case Louis). What he doesn't know however, is that Louis is apparently a part of the Yale thing (a closet homosexual), and this revelation causes Bateman to lose his cool. Unable to process the situation and seekiing to avoid being 'infected' with gay, Patrick flees in panic with terror on his face, with the pleasure of murder denied.
Interesting strategy. Next time someone grabs my neck in a mens' bathroom I will let him know how much in love with him I am. Its so brilliant its retarded.
THIS SCENE IS FUNNY AND...I LOVE THE EXPRESSION CB GAVE AND HOW HE WASHED HIS HANDS WITHOUT TAKING OFF HIS GLOVES...OH AND THE LINE, "I GOTTA RETURN SOME VIDEO TAPES...LOL
The book is great, better then the movie, i can't say how many times i have watched this movie, maybe 20, 40, 60, 80, Yes, 80 times i've watched it & while im typing this comment it's rolling on my Sony Plasma TV while im listening to Huey Lewis & The News / reading the book for the third time, they should have included the scene where Luis chases Patrick, I have to return some videotapes.
@keetner it doesn't really matter. the fact that everyone outdid him when patrick thought he was being special is enough to send him over the edge. now, the acknowledged 'lamest' part of their group has fancy new business cards. it doesn't matter if they're nicer than his or not... does that make sense?
The look on Bale's face is perfect...I have to laugh at it XD, though Bale does deserve some serious recognition. He's an amazing actor. This is definitely one of his best movies and definitely one of my favourites of all time
That look of utter disgust at 0:40 is Oscar-worthy and enough to make 3,000 people urinate in their pants simultaneously, and none of them would be infants.
0:48 luis was pissing before that.. and then this mofo puts his right finger into bale's mouth.. shit, one reason to injure, to spit on, to torture, and to burn this assmouth named Luis... shit, i have the same fucking name .. XD
i would say so as well. he's a hyper masculine masochist that engages in socialite feminism hygiene, might also be homophobic, but who couldn't be against that dude...
wow, nice analysis. Are you a social psychologist??
Read Erich Fromm's books..he gives such a good insight into such 'business' characters who are dead inside while having all the illsuions of 'success'..
I'm a filmmaker if that counts as a social psychologist...you should check out my movies especially PUREE. That deals with a lot of insane people in the same vein as Bateman. No Huey Lewis unfortunately...

Agreeing with Okimin21, he's homophobic, so he's frightened of turning gay and not 'fitting in'.

And not being stereotypical, but Bateman gives clothing advice and has a beauty regime ;D
