American Psycho

Some people say that in the movie American psycho, that the murders are all in his head. Some say that he really committed the murders, but there is so much mistaken identity in the business world, that no one cares/can tell.


I think what is really going on is that he thinks he is SO much better than everyone, the only way he can interpret it is murder. He isn't ACTUALLY killing anyone, he is just metaphorically "Killing them" with his superior intellect and status, and if he didn't imagine it as a murder, he would get the "full effect" and as messed up as he is, wouldn't appreciate his own success and "intellect".


While at the same time trying to cope with his idea that he is not human inside, which his mind proves wrong by showing him emotions such as fear, desperation and such, instead of just greed and disgust.

The movie is a metaphor for the narcissistic yuppy from wall street. Maybe he killed them, maybe he didn't. I don't know if you are supposed to know the objective truth.

I know, but people have made guesses, so I listed the 2 most common ones. Then I added my own idea of what happened, I think he was just a troll before the Internet. Feeling accomplished for saying stupid square shit.

I only used to read in school and on road trips or plane flights as a kid, now I only read novels if I'm in jail. I mostly just read reference materials outside of jail. I just want to save the stuff that is meant to take up time for when I have time to kill (which is in jail).

Not true, weed should be legal. But I'll spend time in jail while I wait for my court dates to prove that shit. Just gotta do a lot of work before that will work.

Lol, if you actually read the thread I posted it because it is historical 60s literature and can only be found for free online in one other place. But when buck was a mod he straight up censored that shit. You can find the full version by searching "Steal This Book Vintage Vinyl"
