The business card scene.
I have read online several interpretations that seem to come to the conclusion that the scene where Patrick Bateman compares his own business card with that of his associates, and then becomes angry and snaps before "going on a murder spree" (put in inverted commas because the film kinda wants the audience to decide for themselves whether its all real or a figment of his twisted imagination), well...
I have read that many seem to say that this scene actually wants to make us emphasize with the fact that Patrick Bateman's character in this film is basically a PATHETIC LOSER, that he would go nuts over something so small and trivial as someone having a more stylish and better looking business card than him, that he is basically although an adult but one with a very immature, practically school-bully like mentality, but is all of that even true?
And are we really meant to go like "Eww, look at how PATHETIC that guy is" and think "Blimey, I DEFINITELY would NOT want to be like him", even if in some or OTHER ways, the film can sort of make him seem or look like an interesting character, besides the murders of course (even if they aren't real), and also the fact that in this film, he is at least our MAIN character.
But are we, in a nutshell, REALLY supposed to think and feel about how 'pathetic' he is based on that scene, was THAT the trait that scene in him meant to establish? Thanks.
