idk I never read a single book but Patrick in the novel is an extremely relatable character.

How as much as he is possibly a mentally deranged serial killer, his moments like talking with Jean whose most arduous identification made by Bateman is her being in love with him. The incredibly abstract and introspective moments of his identity to uphold his sociopathy as his pride and insecurely defended strength strongly deteriorates as he sees himself in a different way.

These points are made utterly redudant with the film's meaningless-ness interpretation. He is a real character filled to the brim, possibly never having killed anyone and only fantasizing to make himself appear invulnerable. I would say that he did kill people and with a pop-psychology reading it could be inferred that his murders caught up with his mental stability, and carrying a sense of evenness,, taking refuge in pretentious degraded hedonism, trying to be the one that enjoys materialism the most and at the same time appear sane. He lets himself slip from deliberation to confessions that are looked past as true identity of anyone is ever-ignored, being the whole point of the fucking thing.

The movie makes use of attacking masculinity of men, not showing any cannibalization, a strong point of the story, as it would be to extreme, but instead utilizing 'there are no girls with good personalities' as essential to the presentation.

And finally the only real criticism feminists give is 'sexist'. 'Women can be psychopaths too'

The scene with the blonde woman he meets on the street only to say hello is supposed to pronounce a possible other psycopath, being coldly and nonchalantly met. Funny thing she really looks like the director in her time of filming.

If you look at scenes like the breakup, at the end of the scene Evelyn drops her crying act, as soon as Bateman has left the building. See, the feminists don't care about you, they are strong and psychopathic just as all men are.

This is not a conclusion. Just the state of affairs we are inevitably experiencing. This dissertation has meant nothing.
