About The Ending (Spoiler)

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2000)

Everyone seems to interpret the ending as "everything only happened in his head", as in the Hollywood-twist-end-cliche. But that's not the only possible interpretation. Isn't it much simpler to think that the lawyer made a mistake? All along the movie the characters mixed people's names, they thought they were talking with someone else...The point is that no one cares who is who and it doesn't really matters, because they are all the same. So my interpretation of the movie is that the crimes were real, that Paul Allen was killed by Bateman and the lawyer was wrong.
Of course all the movie has a fantastic, unrealistic mood, but if we interpret every unrealistic story as only a character's dream, all the works of artist as Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton, the Cohen Brothers or David Lynch would be "only a dream"....
