It relaxes me because Bateman has such unshakable confidence and arrogance, and yet he also has many of the same problems as me (paranoia, severe anxiety etc). It is as if he is a stronger version of myself (apart from the murdering, of course).
its foreshadowing in a way. when peter is talking about him and being questioned hes refering to him in the past ense... he was, he did , he went. like he knows hes dead. an innocent person would refer to him in the present. he hangs out at.... he goes to, he is...
I've never heard of the book and I'm digging it. Aside from the killing and the sex, I quite like it. He's bluntly honest and minds the aesthetic of things. I'd almost venture to as far as those traits go exclaim that he's the ideal. Other than that, he's.. well.. Psycho.
i've read the book and its the most disgusting reading experience ever. the film is really tame in comparison. but be prepared for over a hundred pages of bateman talking about clothes, food and rubbish bands before you get any action.
If I lived in Manhattan it'd have to be the Upper East Side. Just off Park, on fifth. Over looking the park of course. Naturally it would be a building... how passe. But it would be a beautiful town house. Spanning nearly the entire block. It'd be well over 50 million dollars... and... oh my god... is that woman wearing the new Louis Vuitton that even I couldn't get my hands on!?! Panic overwhelms me...
i love his moments of sheer terror and panic when he realizes he won't get a good table or someone has something nicer than him. Also his intense love of friggin terrible 80's music. Lady in friggin Red? lol
The only thing that annoys me with this is the fact that the girls are not exactly hot. Rude thing to say, but there is no symmetry between the message and the idea of the whole film.
i have a feeling that since he's so obsessive and meticulous about cleanliness and care, getting rid of them wouldnt be too hard. i'm using somemajor artistic licence here :D
A real serial killer wouldnt really be excercising like that if he was a killer, taking so much care to his body`s fitness like a friggin model when obviously doesnt care for life or body, when he has other things on mind like getting caught by police one day and dodging evidence, and killing more people. this movie is way tooooo hollywood
no actually the most charming and misleading are the psychos, this is not a thug killer, he is a man with a seriously problem, lack of emotion and empathy, there ARE people that fit this description, psychopaths are different from your average hardened killer in prison, cause they lead double lives, normal lives to fit in
u should read the book, this film is an adaptation of the book and as a result leaves out many of the fine details.Also considering how strangely the book is written (chapters often separated by weeks or months), i think u would appreciate how well the book was to film
i can't understand why he kills paul allen before having sex with the bitches...i mean, wasn't he supposed to meet paul allen (owen) @ evelyn's xmas party? marcus, oh marcus :)
