*SPOILERS* [obviously]


The typical way, but Ive heared other interprtations. I took it as meaning that the majority of the movie never happened, Patrick Bateman didnt exist; him and his actions were simply fantasies of [I forget his name, what the lawyer calls him at the end]. One of my all-time favourite endings. How did you interpret it?

*CONTAINS SPOILERS*






Everything happened just not the way you see it through Bateman's eyes, for example the chainsaw dropping kill he killed her just not in that particular way. The last killing scene when he snaps at the ATM, it happened but just not in the way he experienced it in his head. The cop shows up a second after he shots the lady then he runs into more cops and blows up their cars in a couple shots from a regular hand gun, it happened just not that way, what you see happen on screen is just another of his fantasies and when the cars blew up even he stepped back and couldn't believe it.


The whole thing about the guys getting each other's names wrong is just showing you how nobody really knows each other they're just obsessed with the exterior and none of them are going to correct someone who gets their name wrong because it would be too embarrassing for them. So when he killed Paul Allen everybody screwing up each other's names kept giving him alabias.

He hates what he has to be to fit into the world he was born into(remember Evalyn saying ''your father practically owns the company and him replying ''Because I want to fit in.'') He's a yuppie but in the chainsaw dropping scene when the hooker ran into one of the rooms he had ''die yuppie scum''(or something close to that) on the wall. He can't stand that he's a yuppie so he wants to get caught, through the course of the movie he goes from killing someone and covering it up perfectly to running aroung the street shooting people at random and confessing it because again he wants to get caught.

The very end of it when the lawyer is convinced he's some guy named Davis and that he had dinner with Paul Allen twice in London it just gives him another alabias even though he's blatantly trying to be caught. So what that last monolouge I guess you could call it is basically saying is that he's more aware of what he's doing but he doesn't care and he's not going to stop.

Having said all that I think it's an ambitious ending that the viewer can make their own decision about I just think that^ is the more likely of the options.

Of the movies listed I have to pick the Exorcist. Of the movies not listed I have a serious issue with the Amytiville Horror (the orig). That movie scarred me as a child.
