Guys, I tried for along time to understand the ending which seemed very ambiguous, but I'm pretty sure I've got it now.

This movie is about America, as a country, and Americans as individuals. On both levels, our idea of virtue is superficial, and our awareness of both ourselves, and others, is superficial.

Deep down, as a country, and as individuals, we ARE Bateman. We are psychotic, materialistic, and superficial, but we refuse to SEE it in ourselves.

This confession has meant nothing.

So, to make it really simple, it doesn't really even MATTER whether he did this or not. Ellis is telling us that this is what is in our heads-Patrick Bateman, and it is what compels us on so many levels, but as long as we hold down our jobs, try to be financially successful, beautiful, popular, socially acceptable on the OUTSIDE, then what's INSIDE JUST DOESN'T MATTER.

This movie is all about identity. Do we really know each other, do we really know ourselves....I mean, REALLY.

@heyitshorse & that would have been a one in a million shot, to kill that Janitor.

@facecheek A Cross or a Montblanc, what type of pen does Christian use ?

[pillmatik]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder He did do this. Or most of it rather, since he is the narrator of the movie and an unreliable source due to his obvious insanity. The director of the movie however, commented on this and said she never intended there to be any confusion as to whether or not PB killed anyone, that it was poor directing on her part for not making it clearer.

did anyone else find this part funny? I was laughing at his expression when he was at the revolving door and fogot to kil the caretaker. I mean i was actually roling on the floor laughing.

Funniest movie of all time

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder We are not materialistic and superficial, and definitely not psychotic. It is very easy to think about it like this, why? Because the current indoctrination of us as individuals, promote the idea that we are invariably and irrevocably egotistical.

I know myself to such a degree that i detect the egotistical impulses, i see that i have a problem and i will become more altruistic, more honest, good.

It's so easy to write all humans off as rotten by nature

The film gives you the strong impression he didnt do it. The book leans more towards that he did. I think that Bateman was right about one thing, she was a fucking ugly bitch.
