>WAHHH YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE HIM MEDIA LITERACY!!!!!!
Shut up. He's not a real person. Who cares if someone admires a person that doesn't fricking exist. It's like they think admiring him will make you a psycho, like boomers were with video games in the 90s.

Dubs?
One off, just like me.
It’s funny because the director fricked up based purely on how many people somehow think he “didn’t kill anyone… it was all in his head!”
Patrick is a pathetic character. It’s just less obvious in the movie because the more cringe scenes are removed. Would have been fun to see the scenes from the book like where he tries to talk black to some rappers at a nightclub
>Patrick is a pathetic character. It’s just less obvious in the movie because the more cringe scenes are removed.
Patrick is pathetic in the movies too, takes autism not to notice that.
>autism to know the difference between the book and film
No, it’s not. You’re just defensive
It's more like "what, are you dumb"
>Who cares if someone admires a person that doesn't fricking exist
That's not what anyone said, what a 7th grade argument haha. You shouldn't idealize him for obvious reasons the movie doesn't need to spell out for you.
Idealizing any intentionally flawed character in a fiction exaggerated to make comparison and reveal things between two areas that overlap (sociopathic, deranged behavior that would rationally demand attention from society and law enforcement, and c-suite yuppie culture that's insulted from that very attention; how easily one lives among the other) then is, in fact, missing the point. I could go on but it's about your bedtime.

morons like you shouldn't be policing thought. Leave it to the israelites.
Nobody genuinely admires Patrick you underage moron, it's a joke that stems from here where people pretend to be aping his faux confidence, financial success and handsomeness, basically a precursor to the "literally me" posting with Gosling. Bateman was unknown until posting dubs became a thing here.

>American Psycho premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2000, and was theatrically released in the United States and Canada on April 14. The film received positive reviews, with praise for Bale's performance and the screenplay. Grossing over $34 million on a $7 million budget, the film was considered a box-office success. Following the DVD release in 2005, American Psycho quickly developed a large cult following.
moron
You saw him all over the internet before dubsposting, right anon?
I was four years old at the time of the films release. I imagine you weren't born yet.
I'm 34. God I'm sick of arguing with homosexuals on this site and then discovering I'm older than them, frick off you underage fricking zoomer broccoli haired piece of shit.
2000 was 24 years ago anon
If you didn't at least experience the 90's, you are underage.
It's time to shelf the dentures and pull out the diapers, old timers.
>this guy is an actual psychopath who hates everything and everyone around him and engages in horrific acts of violence, but I admire him because he's rich, handsome and charismatic
You are the exact breed of moron the book was written to make fun of.
>NOOOO STOP ENJOYING FICTION IN YOUR OWN WAY!!!
Art is transformative, and every interpretation is valid, even ones who idealize a bad guy. That's what ideal-ize implies.
>every interpretation is valid
Sherlock Holmes is an allegory for how badly Arthur Conan Doyle wanted dicks in his ass and mouth 24/7. Goldilocks and the 3 Bears is about the dangers of race mixing. Fight Club is an advocacy for Third Wave Feminism.
That's the fun part of interpretations anon. It's up to you.
Bateman is a dweeb. Someone even calls him that in the movie.
>admiring him
What is there to admire in him? I feel his self-hatred and depersonalization but Patrick is a total b***h and he's supposed to be portrayed as one.
I don't admire him, I just hate the typical leftist discourse that consists of 'wrongthink'
Who are you quoting?
You
That's actually a good way to tell the quality of a piece of art.
If a midwit says it's 'subjective' and 'open to interpretation' it's probably bad; if they get mad at you for interpreting it in a different way, then it's probably good.
I don't think anyone actually looks up to him. Here on this site it's more a few lines that are funny like I need to return some videotapes. Or mildly relate to not having a good table at a restaurant. It's funny and ridiculous to be so jealous of someone's business card or apartment you murder them.
A popular character doesn't equal idolization.
American Psycho is a silly cartoon story about a crazy man who imagines he's killing people while doing silly meme faces. I like him because he's funny.
