I actually saw it in the theater with my wife and another couple who are friends of ours.
I was LOL'ing through the whole thing. They were just:  They did not get it at all.
I always took it that he imagined the killings, and the realization they didn't happen was a final utter kind of defeat, because despite how crass and evil it was, the killings were the one REAL and VISCERAL thing he had going on in his life, and even that was fake. |

I think you can take the movie either way. If you work with the assumption that Bateman did kill all those people, then yes, that building manager cleaned up the bodies and literally whitewashed the crime scene to keep the value of her property up. That's pretty twisted, but it fits in with the theme of everyone being interchangeable and everyone confusing everyone else for third parties. Basically Bateman was psychotic, but he was so similar to the vapid and arrogant people he was surrounded with that he fit right in. |

That same guy couldn't even recognize one of his own clients face to face (bateman). That's one of the themes in the movie, mistaken identity. |

You have to realize that NYC is a place where they throw old ladies out of the window so they can get their rent controlled apartments out on the market at current rates.
It's a big part of the city's legend and not unheard of in practice. |

What I took away from the book was some killings were real and other were imagined.
What I took from the movie was it was all in his head. ETA: But AJ_Duel's comment is really making me think now. Might have to go back and re-read some parts. |

I read an article a while back that said Bret Easton Ellis intended the book to be open to interpretation, and that he was a little annoyed that the movie director leaned more toward it all being in Bateman's mind. We weren't originally supposed to know for sure.
That was one fucking awesome and disturbing book, and a fun movie as well. I love them both. |

It was hard to get through those parts, but to the Bateman character those things were critical to his image, so it's kind of necessary to include that stuff if you really want to get inside his head. I've had some seriously yuppie friends in the past and those parts seemed to really capture their thought process perfectly. |

My all time favorite Movie
he killed them Paul allen was not really seen in England either. just more evidence that all of them confused each other cause they all looked the same and no one ever really cared or paid that much attention. I tihnk the book makes it more clear. he imagined a lot though. but some of the authors follow up little short stories that happen after the movie when they where hyping it on the net before release kinda gives more evidence he did the killlinbg. he also shows up in a later ellis book and everyone knows him as a killer. so I tihnk its fairly clear he did the killings so.. "Dont just stare at it christy , eat it!!" |

Funniest part of the book
"Some nights I would find myself roaming the beaches, digging up baby crabs and eating handfuls of sand––this was in the middle of the night when the sky was so clear I could see the entire solar system and the sand, lit by it, seemed almost lunar in scale. I even dragged a beached jellyfish back to the house and microwaved it early one morning, predawn, while Evelyn slept, and what I didn't eat of it I fed to the chow. " I lol'd |

God I love that movie. My friends and I used to watch it before we went out to the bars and clubs on Friday night to get us pumped up. We would introduce ourselves and Sean and Patrick Bateman.
Sean Bateman makes his appearance in the movie "Rule of Attraction" which is another great flick. |
