The scene where Osabe is pushed to the edge of the cliff (ch.4) by his cousin "as a joke" and then laughed at because his mom is really "overprotective" and tried to help him, really was weird to me. His entire family are weird and annoying esp the aunt with that 24/7 wide open mouth. Just sharing my thoughts.
P.s 1 : the mom is really pretty.
P.s 2 : No spoilers please.
Was everything just Patrick Bateman's imagination? I feel like at least some of the events actually happened. Was he supposed to be schizophrenic, or is that not the point?
Also, why do some of his coworkers call him Bateman, while the lawyer mistakes him for Davis? Is that meant to show that everyone in their social circle is so superficial that they can't even tell each other apart?
Another thing that confused me was the scene near the end when Bateman goes to Paul's apartment and an older woman tells him to leave and not make any trouble. What was the significance of that scene? Which parts of the movie were real, and which were just in Bateman's mind?
As for my overall thoughts, I found Bateman fascinating at the beginning. He was handsome, well-dressed, charismatic, and seemed completely in control. At the same time, there was something deeply unsettling about him. He almost felt like a robot pretending to be human.
By the end, though, I wasn't intimidated by him at all. Instead, I just found him pathetic, and I was looking at him with disgust rather than admiration.
I'd probably give the movie a 6.5 or 7 out of 10. I feel like I missed the deeper meaning, so maybe that's affecting my opinion.
Thanks in advance!
