Cool it with the antisemitism
He never killed anyone. It was all a dream.
>He never killed anyone. It was all a dream.
moron take
frick you
sorry that is the accepted and correct take. not a dream per se but psychotic visions that overlap his reality. Paul Allen bit is the only suspect part and even then can be chalked up to the fact Paul Allen never even existed
Very funny, anon! I just had lunch with Paul Allen last week.
Why did Robin Williams and Anthony Bourdain kill themselves?

Women
Why not just buy another one?
Guess the book/film are asking why rich buttholes act so sociopathically towards the poor when they already have everything
>Guess the book/film are asking why rich buttholes act so sociopathically towards the poor when they already have everything
Poor people are sociopaths too, the average "rich butthole" discussing war in yemen at the table of a restaurant is no different than the average poorgay discussing the kardashians/sports at the mcdonalds.
Except me of course. I'm better than both the rich and poor.
Most humans are animals pretending they aren't running on instincts alone.
Killing femoids and homeless Black folk is based. He never killed Leto either before you redditBlack folk try and fackshually check.
How do you figure
reaganomics
Hi anon.
I've noticed a small error in your filename; which reads Dan the man when you clearly meant to type Dan & the man.
Cheers.
Because people who get overexposed to super high lifestyles develop serious psychological issues. But this is suppose to be obviously common knowledge. But there is another psychological issue that prevents people from understanding a concept like this... AUTISM!

Why are people so fricking moronic?
The book goes into this more. Patrick and his co-workers/friends are all pretty much identical, hence why he constantly gets confused for that dickhead Marcus Halberstram. They all have similar jobs, have similar clothes, know the same people, live in upscale apartments, eat at the same restaurants, etc, etc. Patrick's murdering is his way of breaking free of this mold.
>Currently have a good paying job, nice apartment and achieved full nattyness at Bateman's same age
The fact that I came from a lower class family and was chunky as a kid makes me appreciate this a lot more. If I was just born into it then it would be meaningless
He didn't become a person like other people.
Literally me when I'm having sex except I'm not looking at myself I'm looking at all the weird knick-knacks that women keep in their bedrooms and wondering the back stories behind them.
in a top-end studio apartment
are you fricking moronic?
Yes
a studio apartment in NYC is far more prestigious than a mansion in a flyover state. What are you even trying to get at here.
Because he doesnt live in a studio apartment, moron
He lives in a NON-studio apartment. It has bedrooms.
Same reason why the rich get caught sexually assaulting people. It's about the display of power.
If you read the book it's more apparent, but it's a satire of the 80s Wall St. yuppie type who is hyper-competitive and status obsessed. Just look at the business card scene. This guy is ready to murder someone because their business card is 0.00001% better than his (van Patten's is the best btw). In the book there are pages about how one item is better than another in tirade after tirade about meaningless status symbols.
Also he doesn't live in a studio.
>van Patten's is the best btw
I think if you study them closely, you'll find that Patrick Bateman's card was the best card.

this was me a year ago but now im suicidal neet funny how life turns out sometimes
He was a psycho, he represents a society that rewards sociopaths. I've had some experience inside Wall Street and at the very top of the pyramid it is literally just criminals. Liars and thieves.
They own people like this and start wars for profit. It takes a special sort of mind to see chaos, starvation, and bloodshed as an opportunity. It is an absolutely ruthless den of thieves.
Commodity traders that artificially caused African famines to corner markets, NYC gold traders that celebrate 9/11 for its bullish effect on gold prices, that sort of thing.
If you understand the mechanics of global capital markets, then you are probably involved in profiting on it, not ranting about it on Cinemaphile.
Nice
Because he is evil and gets off on it duh have you ever heard of Jack the Ripper
None of that can fill the void when you're unable to form genuine connections with people.
And when your thoughts and desires for wanton violence and sadism against others are diametrically opposed to society's rules and values.
>None of that can fill the void when you're unable to form genuine connections with people.
Yourself. Stop being pathetic and asking for people to please you and take the Individualism Pill NOW
i'm talking about the character. How many people did he actually know who were genuine? Like 1? A guy with his connections and the number of genuine people he met were probably single digits.
>How many people did he actually know who were genuine?
he admired bryce because bryce had his own opinions and wasn't afraid to go against the grain, and he admired - or tolerated - jean because she was genuinely a doe-eyed innocent.
Its a satire to shame the kind of guys who used women for sex because they had a lot of power and looks ect
Material things will never satisfy, they will only feed further craving.
true. let us search for spiritual things.
he had no friends/family and deeply hated everyone in his life
Nobody would listen to him
He wanted. To fit. In.
I found Bateman way too relatable on a rewatch, probably not a good thing.
Who would win in a fight between Patrick Bateman and Mark Hoffman?
Because he's a psycho.
Is there really some stupid deeper meaning in all of it?
people who idolize bateman neve realize that he essentially was acting like a woman the entire time, and that was the point
zoomer boys dress like girls out of trying to attract them
Looks like a pissed off Tom Brady here
>everyone in here telling about their poorhomosexual spiritual slave mindset
you wouldn't get. you never could get it. you're an entirely different species, a born and bred slave.
God told him to.
did you miss the part where he's mentally ill?
What are some good jobs for people who don't actually give a shit about the work they're doing and just want money? It's hard to bring myself to do something well when I don't really care.
Nighttime security guard?
