That's what I've always taken that scene away.

Great movie and Bale's performance is amazing. It has really become popular over the last few years. I view it almost as a very dark comedy....which the director claims to have failed because she never intended it to be seen that way.

You can't go a few days without seeing or hearing a quote from American Psycho. Hell, everytime I see a new business card, I reference this movie in my head. Not to mention I can't listen Hip to be Square anymore without laughing.

This may sound crazy....But I found an interesting comparison from another movie forum.

They compared the yuppie attitude to that of Weekend at Bernie's.

Spoiler (Although...How the hell would anybody not see this movie?"

quote:

Meaning that was a comedy, but showed a small example of how people can be so oblivious back in the 80's. The guy is dead, yet two guys try to benefit off it. They'd rather think of future gain instead of doing something like call the cops. There are people so caught up in themselves that they dont even realize the "Big shot" is a corpse. Everyone is consumed about being in the "in crowd" that they seem to care less about the person, but more about the status.
