Explain this fucking movie to me

It's not a movie its a way of life
Sigma beta alpha omega aura farming hype moment
Maybe watch it without your phone in your face, dipshit

A woman explores the dark triad of female fantasy and takes it to its logical conclusion
Its deals with capitalistic materialism, soulless corporate culture, repressed homosexuality, faceless urban environment etc. you know deep stuff
The gun kata. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly
Did you even watch it?
before our modern understanding of autism, we had this theory some people were 'psychopaths' and what we now call masking was some kind of play-acting thing because some humans were just incapable of empathy instead of being born with a genetic defect.
someone wrote a film about this based on a book where the robot-man quotes music reviews because he is not a homo sapiens. but he IS a homo, not happy about that (while also being void of wants and feelings)
wrong. he did actually do it but nobody cared because we live in a society
why didn't the detective care?
it seems like he actually knew he did it too
Think of it as an alternative batman begins
Everyone is so self-absorbed they're not really prepared to believe the most self-absorbed guy in the entire city does major crimes.
It's a satire about how shallow and self absorbed rich people are, that they don't notice a serial killer among them.
An insane person lives in the hyper-fake world of wall street and yuppie culture. He manufactures every part of his life and image to match those around him while trying to conceal the one thing that he truly lives for, brutal murder. His mind begins to slip as he begins performing these acts, often in jealously at those who are living the yuppie life better than he is. This escalates to the finale where he loses his sanity, and we as an audience become unsure what's real and what's manufactured. It ends with him confessing his crimes, desperate for validation and a sense of realness, but is denied it and learns as we do that no one truly knows or cares about any of it. It's all manufactured, everyone's living a lie, no one and everyone is Paul Allen and Patrick Bateman, and the insane person we've followed the entire movie is just the only one to break. He learns about this hell world that he's in, realizes his actions and confessions were meaningless, and hopes for a worse world because of it.
That's at least what I think, rewatched it recently so it's been on my mind.
This guys believes the ATM actually said to feed it a cat
The book is Bette
Imagine going around killing like thirty people and then you confess and everyone just says
yah duud cool story bro
Like, how do you recover from that? It doesn't matter what you do, you have no agency anymore. By turning the entire real world into a fake Matrix, the yuppies have succeeded in creating a collective sollipsism that rivals that of 1984; they've forced Bateman to cease to exist without any physical torture, any terror, any enforced doublethink. They've just ignored him as an inconvenience, and that was enough.
These repeating digital will explain everything.
So did he actually kill those people or not? Or did his dad hire him a fixer? Was it all just delusions?
it doesnt matter. The story doesnt change at all regardless if the murders were real or not.
His self care routine is gay af
its actually a fetish movie for woman
Finance bros are psychopaths so an actual psycho fits right in. To the point nobody remembers his name, his haircut, gets him mixed up with someone else, they ignore his "I want to carry her head on a spike" spergouts taking them for edgy jokes and when he finally snaps and goes on a killing spree nobody believes him or cares.
Written by a fag
Directed by a woman
BEE says its about how he noticed these young successful men working on wall street acting like women
Is literally about being obsessed with status and money, the only people in the movie that don't care about that were Batemans secretary and the gay dude, this is also why they are the only people who never confuse Bateman with another person
I feel like the movie misses the point of Hip To Be A Square, it's making fun of hippies that sold out
He's not the one saying it, he's quoting a magazine verbatim.
What if I told you half the characters were on their third killing spree, and once again Bateman was late to the trend
Bruce Wayne if he doesn't become Batman.
it's making fun of hippies that sold out
If this is true apsoultly no one has even taken that message from that song without being told to
The guards can dress up as your friend any time they want, they can project whatever they want at you, they can promise you gifts and power or peace, but they are never your friend. What we can do with holograms now, imagine what a type-5 civ can do; you really can't. It would look like fucking magic, wholly inconceivable to be anything other than a concrete and strange reality.
As long as we're in this place, all we're going to meet are guards, shepherds, butchers; as Earth is heavily guarded. 'We' were 'created' to be a utility for getting food (perpetrators) or food (victims). Even when I met your mom, I didn't love her because our souls 'vibed' or whatever those white women on tiktok say. Hell I was a goofy nerd and she was a crazy neurotic, we both knew you'd end up dinged up. I loved her because I was compelled, to make more fuel for the machine. I was drowning son, and I dragged you in, all over a 5 second seizure I could have gotten with my hand.
Which reminds me Jimbo, my boy. You haven't known hell until you've angered an angel, could have been an accident or with noble intentions, none of that matters to them. Fact is.. if you tinker long enough in your lab you'll eventually get their attention. Maybe a prototype weapon that could *possibly* give them a bruise, they'll turn you into a schizo son, they'll turn on you like a dime and fuck your whole life. They are binary, cold and calculating. They know the most efficient way to ruin you while you're in one of these bodies, because the body itself was designed with exploits; they will and have since mankind's conception, exploit or bribe their way to dinner and destroy all who interfere.
It's a test, you will be rewarded
It's a punishment, this is what you get
These both share an ending. Whether one is better than the other depends on if you know.
An asshole yuppie has such a maddeningly bland life spending every day surrounded by bland, samey asshole yuppies exactly like him that he either snaps and becomes a serial killer or fantasizes about becoming a serial killer (up to you) just to experience something new and exciting for once.
No. I've never seen it.
Every single woman has a fetish for being brutally abused and raped and they're instinctively attracted to serial killers and psychopaths. This movie is essentially a porno for women.

Start doing this ->
The whole point is that Bateman doesn't do anything of his own volition and just follows trends, which is why he only listens to and pretends to enjoy whatever is most popular. Huey Lewis and the News were one of the safest and most "accessible" pop slop acts of their era, nowhere near the deep, misunderstood genius that Bateman says they are because he's just parroting a magazine article or something.
yuppie scum wouldn't be able to comprehend
It's about an american psycho. Call me if you need more of my media literacy
