Patrick Bateman may not have killed anyone in American Psycho because certain plot points make no sense if we were to assume that Bateman killed anybody. After meeting with a lawyer, Bateman discovers that Paul Allen is apparently alive and well, casting doubt on all his previous murders.

I always thought he never really became the serial killer until the end of the movie
I'm almost 100% sure that he didn't kill anyone because of what I saw in the ending scene of the film. This brought me personal relief, not because I'm a fan of this actor, but because of the ordinary human feelings that no one actually died.
Harron stated, "One thing I think is a failure on my part is people keep coming out of the film thinking that it's all a dream, and I never intended that. All I wanted was to be ambiguous in the way that the book was. I think it's a failure of mine in the final scene because I just got the emphasis wrong."
Both filmmakers agree that the ending did happen in real life, and Bateman won't be prosecuted for his crimes based on his affluence and high-society status.
First the detective goes to Bateman's office and shows him the CD Bateman used when killed Paul Allen how did he know? 2 men entered the building but just one and a huge plastic bag exit the building somebody gave that information to the detective maybe the guy in the desk in the entrance of the bulding? That is the clue that tells me Bateman commited all the killings also when bateman is with the two girls he make her call to her drug dealer the girl says he is with paul allen AND GUESS WHAT THEY ARE IN ALLEN'S APARTMENT, Bateman deceived everyone with that, the big question here is WHY ARE THERE BODIES IN ALLEN'S APARTMENT? Did Patrick put the bodies there? The girl is selling the apartment and she sees Bateman looking in the closet looking for something she asks Bateman if he saw the ad on the times AND SHE SAYS THERE IS NO AD ON THE TIMES, she asked that question as a trap, she saw the bodies in the closet and Bateman was looking there she is looking Bateman as a suspect ALL THE F MISTERY IS OVER, Bateman is a serial killer and deceived everyone
You can have allusinations when you are on drugs the scene when he saw an ATM asking him to feed him with a cat it could be an allusination from drugs even the whole scene when he shoots at the police it could be a symptom of his sick mind of course he is mentally ill and he is having a mental breakdown for all his crimes when you are a serial killer you are mentally sick he imagined he was being chased by the police BECAUSE ALL THE KILLINGS HE MADE AND AT THE END HE CONFESSED EVERYTHING FOR THE SAME REASON HE CAN'T HANDLE THE BAGGAGE what i believe is that Bateman is the main suspect everyone knows that but also there is a doubt because all the bodies that were found in Allen's apartment the lawyer is just afraid of Bateman you can look it on his face he is eager to not speak with him HE WANTS TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY if he has been his lawyer all the time why is he missidentifying him and he say he had dinner with Allen because he is seeing him unstable and wants to play along to leave
@@Crying-LightningThe end line really gives it away when he says it means nothing but there’s numerous clues that show the whole thing is merely just the portrayal of a psyche and that none of it is real. It’s conceptual.
I don’t know. I think Paul Allen did die, think about, lawyers are meant to give alibis, so them saying they saw and even ate dinner with him in a completely different country is definitely suspicious but not too un realistic. In my opinion I think the lawyer was lying to protect Patrick’s image, and the apartment lady cleaned up the place, she knew it was Patrick who killed and just told him to leave because she wanted to keep it a secret so she could sell the apartment. That or the father (the one ”who practically owns the company” aka bateman’s father) may have paid some people off.
The Lawyer and Paul are the psychological battle in his head. Ultimately the whole movie is a psychological portrayal of a psychological type that seems to be a combo of a few serial killers. There really is nobody. It’s like this is what a serial killer’s mind may look like from the inside. Bateman wants to suppress or “kill” Paul which is his inferiority complex. The lawyer is the rational part of Bateman that says no Paul’s not dead. So his aspirations to be better can not be stopped or achieved. A Psycho trait of course is denial, suppression, compartmentalisation (returning video tapes)
He’s basically tormented from start to finish by his thoughts making him crazy. Again the portrayal of a crazy psyche not actual events. There’s some parallels with the likes of Bundy and other serial killers hence the reference in the movie I’d say.
The director and writer both stated that it bothers them when people assume Patrick didn't kill anybody.
It's clear the realtor lady knows that Patrick killed those people, but would rather just cover it up and sell the apartment.
She’s lying man how does someone read ‘feed me a stray cat' there’s no way you just see that it’s hallucination 💯
Baitman can drop a chainsaw and kill somebody but Batman can
I've not watched this movie but I did see all the killing scenes and the moment he killed someone the entire cinematography changes, he becomes too animated almost like too high on some substance to actually kill someone, it doesn't feel real or even if it were atleast it didn't happen that way.
Great break down of this movie and this question of this movie in particular. I think it was all his imagination.
@aeoneditingservice Where was it confirmed?
no @VeganTotalitarianDictator
wrong, not even the author knows it, 2014 "WTF with Marc Maron" episode @VeganTotalitarianDictator

Amazing but I am confused
Hes going insane, yet still is a killer. I can explain why if you doubt it
Please expand
In the book the ending made me feel like he did something even if he didn't do it all 😮
Patrick Bateman is not Patrick Bateman , he never was
Does the book offer any different insight?
I think the safest awnser is probably the correct one. It is definaitly lazy to pick both sides but i dont think patrick fully knows who he is. There definairly is evil in patrick but to your point nobody cares that he is losing it one way or another
He was marcus not batman!
This video was uploaded in 2023 and there was a Philosoraptor meme and other memes from circa 2011?
Are all murders Patrick hallucination or are he murder all I disappointed movie not open that much like bret easton ellis in book
PLZ CAN ANYONE TELL ME
WAS THE DOG MURDERED OR NOT?
The Gotham pun lol
i think it all depends on if you accept the sequel then it kinda shows the little girls perception. and he is in fact a killer.
