1st to 3rd

The police scene is inspired by a videotape

Bateman is the star and the narrator (and arguably the consumer) of the police chase spectacle

He walked towards the door. "Hey, Bateman."

He stopped, his hand on the doorknob, and turned. "What?"

"Nothing."

THIS HAPPENS IN EVERY BRETT EASTON ELLIS NOVEL.

I think it's proof none of it happened and ol' Patty was just day dreaming about being a blood thirsty kinky fucker.

I also believe him to be gay, hence the constant thoughts of anal play.

>Bret Easton Ellis is gay
>from Wikipedia; "Even earlier in his career, Ellis based the character of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho on his father.[23] In a 2010 interview, however, he claims to have "lied" about this explanation. Explaining that "Patrick Bateman was about me," he confesses "I didn't want to finally own up to the responsibility of being Patrick Bateman, so I laid it on my father, I laid it on Wall Street." In reality, the book had been "about me at the time, and I wrote about all my rage and feelings."[17]"

You could be onto something there.

Every time some 19-22 year old anon assigns false complexity or worth to this work, a fairy dies.

I want to select another notable author up your alley: Chuck Paluhniuk. His depth and complexity really have only a rival in Ellis' masterwork.

Its an existentialist joke

Fight Club is a pretty bad book, though. It feels like it was written by a high schooler. It's one of the very few times when the movie is better than the book.

I feel like American Psycho accomplishes so much more through satire than Fight Club tries to do with preaching
