Am I the only one who guessed the ending by the bar scene?


When Slater was on the elevator and said he fired five shots into Coleman I had a feeling that this was all fantasy.

When he was drinking and they were counting his "shots" and said he had five, and he corrected them by saying it was six, I figured out this was indeed all in his head.

Did this tip off anyone else?

reply

No ... but then if we're saying six, would that be before or after he shot himself?

I'm taking it Venessa never got shot. Did anyone else besides Bob himself? Still confused.

A little like An American Psycho, no? Except funny.

I thought American Psycho was a lot funnier. And more gruesome. Better written. More interesting.

Also, why do people think this all never happened?

And in regards to it being like American Psycho, the ending of American Psycho is meant to be ambiguous. The whole "it never happened 'cause Paul Allen isn't actually dead" theory isn't definite. The social commentary of the film is supposed to be how everyone is to caught up in their own *beep* that they have no idea what's going on around them. In that case, Bateman did kill those people, but everyone doesn't care enough to notice. And "Paul Allen" could be dead, but it's not the right "Paul Allen", it being that no one really knows anyone.

All in all, He was a Quiet Man was pretty good. It's rare to see Christian Slater in a good movie these days.

he never corrected them saying "it was six", what he said was "but not six", so you figured wrong :)
