AMERICAN PSYCHO || FIRST TIME WATCHING || Movie Reaction

- American Psycho is a 2000 satirical psychological thriller film directed by Mary Harron, who co-wrote the screenplay with Guinevere Turner. Based on the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis, it stars Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a New York City investment banker who leads a double life as a serial killer. Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Chloë Sevigny, Samantha Mathis, Cara Seymour, Justin Theroux, and Reese Witherspoon appear in supporting roles. The film blends horror and black comedy to satirize 1980s yuppie culture and consumerism, exemplified by Bateman and supporting cast.
I think this is my first Christian Bale movie! Some of his other films on my list include the Dark Knight (obviously!) The Big Short and The Prestige. If you have any other recommendations, let me know! 😃

If anything, you dove much deeper into this film than a lot of other youtubers do. Most don't spend the same time and effort to figure it out. Hats off to you for that.
The movie is definitely an attack on the excess and egoism of 1980s corporate life in the United States. The Gordon Gekko Greed is Good era if you will. The male characters in particular come off as shallow and narcissistic to the point that they do not even remember each other's names. It also comes off as a dark comedy, whereas the book is a more serious narrative. The biggest question posed by the movie is did it really happen or was it all in Patrick Bateman's head? There is definitely validity on both sides of the argument. The scrubbing of the Paul Allen apartment crime scene, as well as the lawyer refuting the Bateman story by saying he saw him in London lends credence to the it all happened in his head argument. But one could just as easily counter that by saying that the actions of indifference by his colleagues throughout the movie to Bateman's behavior indicates it did happen, but nobody cared because it is a society that is morally bankrupt. Guess we will never know. It is up to the viewer/reader.
I love the deliberate irony of Patrick liking Huey Lewis and Phil Collins and considering them hip/cutting edge. Funniest part of the book/movie which are in themselves hilarious.
"I have to return some video tapes..."

The realtor covered up the murder evidence to help sell the apartment. That’s why the paint and rollers were in the closet. And she asked him to leave because she realized he was the killer and he realized she covered it up, etc.
I still maintain my theory that her attitude seemed odd because we're seeing this from his pov and he suffers from paranoia. I think that whole scene is inaccurate because the narrator is an unreliable source.
@@chrissiereacts It's half true/half fantasy. He did murder several people. He did murder Paul Allen. The main comment the movie is making is how people, especially on Wall St. in the 80s, were so materialistic, narcissistic and obsessed with status that no one even bothered to notice that he was going around killing.
There are two main interpretations of the movie American Psycho.
It all happened in his head: This viewpoint suggests that all the violent acts and murders were just products of Patrick Bateman's psychotic mind. Supporting this interpretation are scenes like the one with the ATM telling him to feed a stray cat and other over-the-top moments. These scenes highlight the surreal and delusional aspects of Bateman's experiences.
The events were real but ignored by society: According to this interpretation, Bateman's actions were real, but they were ignored or covered up by a society driven by greed and apathy. An example supporting this view is the scene with the female real estate agent who cleans up the mess in the apartment and subtly indicates that no one should know about the murders that took place there. Additionally, there are scenes where everyone looks very similar (same glasses, same haircut), and people often confuse each other’s identities. Even Patrick is frequently mistaken for someone else, emphasizing the superficiality and indifference of the society he lives in.
Director Mary Harron and author Bret Easton Ellis have deliberately left the story open to interpretation, allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions about what really happened.
It's the mainly the second one this was confirmed by the director but also as the movie goes on he even says his mask of sanity is beginning to slip and his perception of reality is unreliable and gets worse as the film goes on , he did murder everyone but the 80s yuppie world can't see it and covers it up and doesn't care
The second one. Confirmed by director. Had a class on this in film school.
@@systerkeno that's cool, didn't know that :)
Well said
you're so wrong
I saw this movie 24 years ago and to this day I can't hear "Hip to be square" without picturing that little dance he does as he walks away from the stereo😆
@T.elegram.TheChrissieReacts Why is it always me that get the telegram scammer response? Do I have sucker written on my forehead or something?
The company my aunt worked for had 9 vice presidents including herself. There was one for different regions of the country but they all worked at the same offices. She started off as a cashier for one of their retail stores.
In my read of it, events were mostly if not all real. He got away with it because simply people don’t care and because he and his colleagues are so conformist that they are essentially all interchangeable. No one had dinner with Paul Allen, it was simply another case of mistaken identify which has shown to happen on the regular to all the yuppies in this movie.
Exactly. Everybody is a narcissistic, NOBODY knows anybody else's name.
The satire doesn't work if it's imaginary.

A lot of people fall into the trap of being overly literal in their analysis of American Psycho and fixating on the "did he really do the murders or not?" question, and that completely misses the point of the film. A movie like this demands engagement with themes and the metaphorical. Whether Bateman really killed all those people, imagined the murders, or it was some combination of reality and fantasy by an unreliable narrator is secondary to the point of being meaningless. The point that the film is driving at is everyone around him in this hedonistic, capitalist, Wall Street shithole is more or less just like him. With rare exceptions, they're all fail sons and fail daughters awash in greed, excess, fake jobs and basically doing nothing but going to useless meetings and eating at overpriced restaurants. None of these people DO anything of note or meaning, but by circumstance of birth, they exist in the lap of luxury. Patrick Bateman and Paul Allen keep getting mistaken for other people because virtually all the characters in this movie are empty vessels who mean nothing to each other. Even those who aren't psychopathic killers like Patrick are oblivious or indifferent to his murders because they're focused on the mundane, shallow, spiritually dead pursuits that make up modern consumer culture. This is the core of being an "American Psycho" and it can be argued that label applies to most of the characters we meet. There is no punishment or catharsis for Bateman (he will never be caught) because the society in which he lives is built upon letting wealthy psychopaths get away with their crimes. He is trapped in a cycle of insecurity, misanthropy, violence and self-loathing.
nailed it
Well summed up
Perfect summation
Nice one but i already read this exact same text on a google review 🤣🤣
The director of the film said herself that the murders are real. The point is that everyone in that culture is so self obsessed that they would rather ignore things or cover them up (like the real estate agent), and at the end he's not sure if he killed Paul Allen or someone else, or if people are simply mistaking other men for Paul Allen because they're so similar that they mix each other up all the time. Some small things are obviously imagined, like the scene with the ATM or when he says insane things to people's face that they don't notice, but he definitely killed those people. In the book it actually goes into more detail about how is father is very powerful and has a lot of connections and implies he could be cleaning up his trail behind him.
26:23 “I simply am not there”. Read book and listen to author interviews. He means it all as satire. The book has even more gruesome acts by PB.
Not too much in this film that is not lifted from the Brett Easton Ellis novel. One thing from the books is Patrick constantly commenting on what designer fashions he and his male and female social circle wear. In the book he is protective of his Rolex, but in the scene in the movie it is just ‘the watch’.
This movie keeps getting funnier and funnier on repeat viewings imo.
Seen this MANY times. Never noticed that --> "Look at the way she's holding that pen." @ 2:30 I tried to hold a pen that same way and couldn't do it the way she stretches her index finger so far up the pen.
Are you only watching this because Australian Psycho hasn’t been made yet? 🤣
Have you not seen wolf Creek???
Please try wolf Creek
*that* was funny. i was thinking something similar, but far less clever.
😂😂
Erm chopper read comes close & he was a real person
Okay, so after watching and reading some interviews it is clear that the director, Mary Harron, didn't intend for people to think it was all in Bateman's head. She said, "the only thing I think is a failing on my part is everyone keeps coming out of this film thinking it's all a dream. I never intended it. All I wanted was for it to be ambiguous in the way that the book was... It's a failing of mine that in the final scene I just got the emphasis wrong and should have left it more open ended. It makes it look like it was all in his head, which, as far as I'm concerned, it is not." _interview with late night sex pest Charlie Rose_
I also found this quote by screenwriter Guinevere Turner, "What starts to happen as the movie progresses is that what you're seeing is what's going on in his head. So when he shoots a car and it explodes, even he for a second is like "Huh?" because even he is starting to believe that his perception of reality cannot be right. As he goes more crazy, what you actually see becomes more distorted and harder to figure out, but it's meant to be that he is really killing all these people, it's just that he's probably not as nicely dressed, it probably didn't go as smoothly as he is perceiving it to go, the hookers probably weren't as hot etc etc etc It's just Bateman's fantasy world." _Cinemablend article_
I always assumed (movie)Bateman was just an unreliable narrator, as stated above. That is, all the events happened but not specifically in the way we see them-or the way we see Bateman see them. So, he may have killed a prostitute with a chainsaw, but we can surmise he didn't actually run around the apartment complex halls naked and screaming. I'm not sure why people want, or expect, it to be all or nothing.
In contrast, after reading the book-which was apparently intended to be more ambiguous in relation to whether Bateman was in fact a serial killer, or just imagined himself one-I had assumed it had all clearly happened in Bateman's head. Because the violence in the book is so over the top and exaggerated and Bateman is clearly mentally ill-in the traditional, non-serial killer, type way (eating fistfuls of sand, howling at the moon, and microwaving live jellyfish)-that all the murdering etc. seemed obviously a delusion/hallucination of a schizo not a psycho.
There is a scene close to the beginning of the book that tipped me off to this interpretation when Bateman is having "regular" (non-murderous, non-violent) sex with a woman and it is so blatantly an adolescent male chauvinist fantasy that he must have been imagining it.
And apparently Bret Easton Ellis himself, although liking the ambiguity, has stated "anyone that reads the book and thinks Bateman actually killed anyone is really missing the point of this story."
anyway, that's my 2.
The book is entirely written fron the first person except towards the end when it throws you by changing to third person (observing him).
Its very very graphic and hard to read.
From the long stretches discussing musicians to the sudden changes to horror that is hard to read without feeling ill. I think you got it in that his mental state was crumbling. I think there are many levels to the book as well.
Great Reaction Sweetheart
he makes a lot of good points
Saw this in a U.K cinema back then. Just 2 of us in the place! Kind imagine why!
Was already familiar with the book well before I saw the movie.
You should check out that Funny Games movie, it would be right up your alley
Good choice. The original or remake?
@@larryargent503 The original is more affective and would be a good segway to Spoorloos, but the remake is probably better for views
This lady is really pretty
The book is even more brutal and sadistic. It can be a hard read for that reason but the real reason I found it a hard read is narrated by the psycho and he is an obsessive, who goes into great detail over his routine and reasons. Pages of him listing things he likes, or does etc. I would end up skim reading up to get back to the story. 😅 You're supposed to be left unsure if all happened or not, as it is part of the ongoing narrative that nothing in his life matters, despite his success. All the characters get confused for each other and same with the restaurants and events. The flat scene was massively changed from the book, but the main thing is you're supposed to wonder if it was covered up to avoid damage to the property values or was it a dream. The final quote at the end about no escape and the meaningless of his confession, that is to conclude the theme that he is trapped in his life, pursuit of success and the futility of it. His "psycho" aspect supposed to be his true/free self but even that is left as being unrecognised and meaningless and didn't bring him any true feelings.
Also the detective, they filmed his takes multiple times, where they had him act as if he suspected something and like he was clueless of anything, then edited them together to give the ambiguity of what the detective knew or suspected.
The ending was my fave part. This confession has meant nothing.
Omg...... you made me realize he knows the cosby's!!!!!
My take on this movie is that Patrick Bateman is not a psycho, he identifies as one because he is aware that he has to fake his way through his life with the people around him.
Meanwhile he is watching videos about violence and corn* and these are being used as source material for his vivid imagination that plays out in the movie as reality.
"I have to return some video tapes."
20:55 - DID he have lunch with Paul Allen in London, though? Everyone seems to confuse each other for someone else throughout the film. They all dress and act the same. Everyone is easily forgotten. So i'm not really sure whether it was all in his head or whether he did or didn't kill anyone. I believe the book makes it clear that it was all real, but the movie seems more open too interpretation...
Yeah that's where my mind went in the days after watching... can't say for sure though!
The novel American Psycho is the most graphic thing I’ve ever experienced through a piece of art, and I am a huge horror movie fan, so I’m not easily put off by gore, and the like. It is also one of the best books I have ever read, although I can’t really recommend it to anyone because my tolerance for such nasty subject matter is usually higher than people around me who I would sometime recommend a book to.
In any case the author used to work on Wall St in the 80s I believe, and was so put off by the nature of the human beings in his environment - human beings he feared he was become more and more similar to - that he got out of that world, and eventually tried to share his personal impressions of its immoralities through his novel American Psycho.
Also, randomly... another more famous out of the literary world American psycho of sorts, is of course, Batman. Christian Bale, as you are likely aware, played Batman. So Bale’s two most famous roles are Bateman, and Batman, two very messed up dudes.
And, a huge number of great films have dogs killed in them. Films like Rear Window, Jaws, Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda, The Thing, No Country For Old Men, etc.
The dogs in these films never actually get killed because, movie, and also because, laws. It’s an artistic choice to kill a dog in a film that’s usually done to show that anything alive in this story is fair game so don’t even think you can predict what’s going to go down so don’t get comfortable. It makes us all feel more vulnerable. It’s just a trick.
Thanks for making videos eh.
🤔If you're wondering about the clean apartment, That was his father's doing. In the movie he's only mentioned(briefly) as being the boss and father of patrick. He's aware of his son's sickness And does a lot of covering up for him😮😮😮
I just assumed he lied about his dad being boss lol
May I suggest the mystery/suspense film THE GAME directed by David Fincher. If you want a movie that will really tie your brain lobes into a Pretzel, you will love it.
For a GREAT TV SHOW, I highly recommend Seasons 1 and 2 of FARGO. But you need to watch the Coen Bros movie FARGO first. One of the best TV series ever done if you like odd crime story films.
Only one person mistakes Patrick for Davis--Howard, his lawyer. Paul Allen mistakes him for Marcus Halberstram. And Marcus had mistaken someone else for Patrick when he recounted dinner to Detective Kimble. Patrick assumes Paul's name with the two prostitutes, and he gives them their names--Christie and Sabrina. His friends even mistake someone for Paul Allen at the very beginning of the movie, even with Paul actually present on the other side of the room. And . . . Howard mistook the man with whom he had dinner in London for Paul. Identity is slippery throughout the movie. But that's not surprising. Many of the characters, especially the executives at Pierce & Pierce, are practically interchangeable.
Everything was real . . . except the sequence from the ATM to his arrival at his office. Patrick's call to Howard's answering machine was obviously real. Howard recounted details from the message without prompting. Except for that "breakdown" sequence, there is absolutely nothing that is implausible.
When Patrick told Bethany that he worked in murders and executions, she heard him correctly and understood what he meant. People who worked in mergers and acquisitions often joked about working in murders and executions. Today we call it vulture capitalism, a similar expression. Everything we hear him saying to people, he actually said. Everyone's reactions to Patrick's untoward remarks make sense.
Even the race down the hall with the chainsaw was real. No doubt the neighbors heard the ruckus, but nobody wanted to get involved. Then when he returned to Paul's apartment with the mask, the place had been cleaned up, and a real estate lady was trying to re-let it. She knew what had happened there, and she suspected that Patrick was the one responsible because he had gone directly to the closet. He confirmed that he was the killer by lying about seeing the ad. Then she tells him sternly, "I think you'd better go now. I don't want any trouble. And don't come back."
No one questioned the reality of the bulk of the novel American Psycho until the movie was released several years later. And when the interpretation that the violence was all in Patrick's head began circulating, both the book's author and the movie's director were taken aback. They both thought it was perfectly clear that it was almost all real. Their reactions at the time carry much more weight than anything they might have said more than a decade later.
It's about the psychotic society of America in the 80's. Everyone out for themselves.
The moments like no one reacting when hes murdering people, running around with chainsaws, dragging bodies and everyone not remembering him or anyone else, makes sense once you know this.
Just discovered your channel and i really enjoy your reactions.Plus, gotta support a fellow ontarioite hehe would love to see you react to my favorite movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch no one ever reacts to it.

9:11 FINALLY someone caught that xD
It's a film that's loaded with sarcastic symbolism and depiction of characters, whom society regards as people of success. Also, you've probably heard the term "di*k measuring contest" ? The scenes and close-ups, that were centered around calling cards, took a disproportionate time of the film. The cards weren't serving the story, they we're there to give the viewer a glimpse of what a "high level" di*k measuring contest is by its nature: giving meaning to meaningless narratives. I would also note, that American Psycho is filled with toxic masculinity and inability to regard life as anything else but a competition of hollow victories. Bateman tells a homeless man to "get a job", to which that homeless man says: " I lost my job.." . Then Bateman proceeds to stab that man, because he doesn't care about what he says or the reasons of his homelessness. " Get a job ! " is just an excuse to motivate murder, a statement of power over somebody unknown. Running around an apartment building naked with a running chainsaw unnoticed is a comment of a NIMBY society's level of denial: " That can't happen in a well-off family ! "
Only found out it was directed by a woman years later. That blew my mind. And people seem to forget that Trump was his hero in the book. I read it when it came out. I'd read Brett Eastern Ellis before but like most, I probably bought and read the book because of the controversy at the time of its release. As a young man it didn't make much of impression on me. It appeared to be 100 pages of fashion micro-detail and then the rest horrific violence. 20 years later I found the book again on the shelf of an op shop for 50c. I had some time on my hands so bagged it intent on reading a chapter or two to see if it grabbed. I didn't put the book again for a couple of days.
So much of the human commentary seemed so pertinent to today, even more so than when it was written. Eastern Ellis worked as a stockbroker for a brief time. He had a front row seat into this class and their thinking. But it was a niche class then. So much of what I was reading seemed to apply to so many more people of the current day. What was missing was chainsaws and blood but the cold indifference was plain to see everywhere. The distance between people. Great art really does age like fine wine. It's message only gets stronger with time. The Wall St backdrop was the perfect metaphor for capitalism and how it rewards Machiavellian tendencies and promotes aspects of psychopathy. And what sort of society can we expect when we laud these behaviours?
Patrick Bateman for President
You got the film exactly. It makes you think - was it real, was it imagined? Either way though the title is true, he is a psycho.
When this movie came out, I was in between high school and college, and a buddy of mine had a job at a Regal Cinemas.
On the weekends, we would bring beers into the theatre and get drunk while watching this, probably a dozen times. He'd have his coworkers crank the soundtrack, so the chainsaw scene was absolutely deafening, to the point they actually got complaints.
It was awesome.
Excellent.

The book was really acidic satire, no way it could have been made as written, movies pretty good in its own right
I feel that a reaction to Law Abiding Citizen is on the cards😊
Christian bale nailed it...fantastic flick.
Wikipedia says the film is not trying to make out that the murders didn't happen,and that it was all in his mind?!!!! 🧐🤔🧐😶😶

Hi gorgeous! First time on your channel. You made this reaction really fun! You got great sense of humor. Oh and you look stunning 😍 Instant sub
He's insane.
4:53 _"Your compliment was sufficient."_
I have no idea why but that line sends me into hysterics everytime, the delivery, the interaction between the two, and then of course the meltdown over business cards. This is one of the best dark comedies ever made; not as twisted and insane as the book but a damn good film on its own.
Fun fact : The scenes with Detective Kimble were filmed three times. 1) He doesn't suspect Patrick Bateman at all. 2) He is suspicious. 3) He knows the Bateman is guilty.
They mixed the scenes up in editing to confuse the situation, really messing with your head and giving you a look into Batemans own mind.
Fun fact:
In the script they were originally supposed to film at the Dorsea, but because its so prestigious the film crew couldn't get in the restaurant to film.
🤪
🤣
Nobody goes there anymore.
I wanted to respond to your comment there, but I got an 8:30 res at Dorsia
First of all, this is a DARK COMEDY.
Second, this is an extreme spoof/parody of the vapid greed and hypocrisy, materialism of the yuppy 80s. The music he likes was all super popular 80s hits. He says Genesis was too deep and complex for him until the 80s where Phil Collins became more prominent. They play Sussudio, Collins most silly popular hit. He loves Huey Lewis' "Hip to Be Square". He plays Whitney Houston's big song Greatest Love of All, which is about SELF LOVE.
The parody of the Wall Street greed of the 80s was obvious with how all these guys were VPs at some huge brokerage house. They all looked and dressed the same. They all were about style, surface looks, clothes all the way down to comparing their business cards, which is hilarious. You cut out the scene where the guys were out at a club with those models. Bateman tells the bubble headed blonde that he works in "Murders and Executions", and she responds "Do you like working in Mergers and Acquisitions?"
His life is vacant, shallow and meaningless despite his Ivy League education and his high paying job. Yes, they purposely never show him really doing any work as a "VP", the joke being that being a VP on Wall Street moving people's money around really is meaningless and their job isn't really that important. Its a satiric takedown of corporate greed and capitalism. All these guys do is go to lunch and dinner.
So to provide any meaning and interest to his life, he thinks about murder and violence all the time to the point that he really thinks he's doing all these things. At the end, he confesses all these crimes that he committed in his mind, but its not satisfying, because he still knows he's evil underneath for the violent fantasies, so he gets no resolution in the end.
Btw, a woman wrote this screenplay and directed this movie.
29:00 in addition to its critique of the greed, apathy, and consumerism rampant in modern society, the film is a dark comedy, so laughter is the correct response to many of the scenes in the movie.
My favourite Comedy ever made.
If you've never seen The Machinist, it's one where you will marvel at Bale himself. It's a bit of a strange film, but Bale is shocking in it.
Oh good call. Will add it to my list! I need to see more of his movies.
Chrissie you look extra gorgeous today :)
You could watch 'Reign of Fire' with Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey.
I can no longer listen to Huey Lewis without thinking about that backward shuffle.😂
Please watch the requiem for a dream. Love your reactions to dark movies
This might be one of my fav books/films. Loved watching someone see the business card scene for the first time.
Books tend to be superior to the film but this one is on a whole other level of superior. The amount that gets left out do this film due to the depravity of what he gets up to...
I hope you gonna watch Manchester by the Sea and Temple Grandin some day. It would be so good to see your mimics.

This film is very weird the first time you see it. The more you rewatch though the funnier it gets and the more you get it.
Oh, excuse me lady, but you have very big beautiful eyes.👀
Oh thank you!
I saw the thumbnail for this and instantly began laughing. I don't know why, maybe because I'm a psycho. Strap yourself in.
I'd say that, as a rule of thumb, "nothing actually happened" is the worst interpretation possible, since it just discards the source material. Any time another interpretation is possible, it's preferable.
Next time wear heels, I like high heels.

🤔No, it happened, but because he's in a society(upperclass) that doesn't really give a damn about others and that includes themselves. He's literally getting away with murder😮
Lmao 🤣 don't just stare at it 🍑..eat it 😂 Phil Collins and this reaction 🔥💯🍻💪
OK, Patrick
The best part of this movie is the discussion afterward.
Compared to the darkness of the book, this is practically a romcom. As inhuman as Bale's Bateman is, book Bateman's narration is like reading the mind of an insect. Magnificent horror. But the movie is great satire, so it works out.
A lot of reactors seem to miss that he has a really bad taste in music.
Lol I don't think anyone can miss that 😅

Have fun; you're going to spend the next 5 years unpacking this movie in your head.
It's simple.it's a modern day Jekyll & hyde.guy leads a boring mundane life so disappears into fantasy.yet it's set in 80's america.the author Brett Easton ellis is a great writer & satirist & takes you into the mind of being rich,wealthy,greedy etc.brokers & bankers ruin countries.I think bateman(ellis knew this)so had the character spiralling out of control in frustration.or maybe Bateman was psycotic from the start & the drugs were tipping him over the edge.sadly in usa,England & most country's nothing's changed.psychos walk among us.sweet dreams🤗

Well, that's two off the list ❤️
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual.
MOMMY MILKIES
Is that really necessary dude?

Hey chrissie. ✌🏻
Hello! 👋
What the detective and the assistant and many others do give it the feel it was real. But when he shot and exploded a cop car it feels imaginary. And the helicopter shining light thru his office window. But then next day hes not arrested.
We studied this movie in film classes. Bateman did kill all those people. It was confirmed by the directors. One of the directors also said it was a failure that people weng out ffom the cinema thinking it was only in his head, that was never the intent with leaving it open. Bateman goes crazier and crazier as the movie progresses. He starts noticing that he can't really trust all the impressions he's had.
Spot on Chrissie, High society playing with everyone else, Patrick Bateman is the epitamy of class, much respect for his character development.
it's actually about how humans mask their base instincts with bullshit so as to appear as something more affable. The fact he is upper class is purely circumstantial.
I watched this film many times and I still don't know if he killed all those people or not.
The movie feels incomplete, yet the story is all right there to see.
My conclusion is he stopped taking his meds and as his bloodlust increased, his fantasies increased.
The goofy stuff like him shooting at a cop car and it explodes, and when the ATM wanted a kitty cat to eat were delusions.
I think he murdered some, but not all the people he thinks he murdered.
And he drags out a body bag and no one notices it's leaking blood?
That part tells the entire story for me, lots of people in the Wall St 80's got away with a lot of stuff, including murder.
No, I'm wrong, but I'm right.
Right??
I think this movie IS what you think it is, which is pretty cool.
Kudos to Director Mary Harron for confusing and entertaining us all in one shot. Which is hard to do.
Anyway, fun reaction.
Evelynn mentions his father owns the company so that'd be why he doesn't do any work - also my head canon is his dad hired cleaners to sweep up that apartment as well.
I assumed he lied to her about his dad 🤷🏼♀️
