This film is about narcissism and the whole yuppie culture in the 80s. Notice how they all look super similar, with similar suits, haircuts, glasses. They even keep mistaking each other for different people. Hell, they see Patrick doing shady stuff all the time but no one gives a shit. Everyone's lost in their own world. It's great social commentary, basically.

@Cadinho93 Год назад

Fun Fact: When Brett Easton Ellis was writing the book of "American Psycho", which the movie is based on, he originally wrote it to be serious. To get material for the book, he hung out with a small group of yuppies. All they did was take him to the most trendy restaurants, talked about who had the best haircut, the best suit, the hottest girlfriend and who had the best house in the Hamptons. Not once did Brett see them working in their respective offices. So, from this experience, he completely rewrote his book to be a dark comedy satire, with the added twist that the main character is a serial killer. Also, during the card scene, one of the actors admitted to being a bit scared of Christian Bale because he could supposedly "sweat on command".

@Tr0nzoid Год назад

Interestingly, Bret Easton Ellis was immersed in that upper-class, yuppie world so it wasn't much of a stretch to do that research. I used to see him on Twitter completely conveying that whole snooty and weird persona. His "Less Than Zero" character was probably most closely related to him.

@BareBandSubscription Год назад

@@Tr0nzoid He had an odd trajectory. He started off as an apathetic LA youth, became a liberal arts student, then became a yuppie in New York, then abandoned the New York yuppie scene and lifestyle, and overtime became some partly pretentious, partly insightful and thoughtful amalgamation of all of that. He comes from money, but he seems to be perpetually critical of all these upper crust walks of life that he continues to be totally enamored with.

@dr.k8610 Год назад

Hopefully nobody beat me to the punch on this fun fact. In the scene where Dafoe’s character is talking to Bateman, it’s three scenes spliced together. They did one take where he knows Bateman killed Paul Allen, one where he suspects, and one where he doesn’t think that at all.

Absolutely some of the greatest acting ever in that scene. Thought the same thing when I first saw the movie. Bale's commitment to his craft is almost peerless. This is the movie that opened up his genius. Hard to imagine DiCaprio, Depp, and some of the other actors who were considered for the part going to the places that Bale went to in this movie.

@cheebees Год назад

It's wa great, but why do people considering being manic/hysterical considereded great acting? I thought acting was showing a range of emotion and not just one note like hysterical? Take tom Hanks when in Forrest Gump when he asked if his son was normal or like him, great subtle emotional, not just hysterical yelling and crying. Like Jesse from breaking bad, all of his best acting moments are when he is hysterical crying or yelling. Then take Christopher Walken in catch me if you can when he talks with Leo about not turning himself in and then calls Leo on his lies like where he's going next. I'm probably the minority, but I just find it interesting.

@matthintz9468 Год назад

Christian Bale's monologues are so captivating and unsettling. And, not just the monologues, but just the way he describes food, magazines, and other things to the people around him. It's uncanny, like an advertisement devoid of soul. By the way, it wasn't the same building with the same guy, it was the building adjacent to the first building with a different guy. It's a recurring theme throughout the movie - the corporate conformity of the places and people make everything look so similar that people often confuse each other for different people, or places for other places. Samantha's interpretation is more in line with the book, whereas Schmitt's is more in line with how the filmmakers (one of whom, Guinevere Turner, played the redhead who was murdered in Paul Allen's apartment) interpreted the book.

@midianmtd Год назад

I saw a recent interview with Christian Bale talking about his career. Upon doing research for this film, he hung out with day traders who loved the Patrick Bateman character in the Bret Easton Ellis book. Bale was not sure if they were aware that the book was a satire or not.

@chrismatson1984 Год назад

The director said basically most of the things happened for real. The reason he could get away with so many things is because the people he works with for example could not remember each others names and would often confuse someone for someone else because they were all so similar and self obsessed. The part at the end where he went back to the apartment and the bodies were gone. It's basically saying the people selling the apartment were more bothered about reselling it because of how expensive it is then reporting what had gone on.

The premise is that the world they are living in is so self-absorbed and narcissistic that no one knows or remembers any other person. Not their name or how they look. People are insignificant to each other. This allows Bateman to skate by while having murdered a bunch of people. They really lean into this premise for satire and comedy. Also, there is some intentional fuzziness regarding the degree of his killing spree. He very clearly and obviously has killed people, but they want the audience to question just how many he has killed, and exactly what specific scenarios are actually occurring. I believe it is to show the audience the insanity that Bateman is experiencing in his own mind.

The book is a very interesting read. It doesn’t have as much of a narrative through-line as the film. It’s more just a series of scenes narrated by Patrick Bateman. There are no murders or violence of any kind until almost exactly halfway through a 400 page novel. The first half is literally almost nothing but Patrick hanging out with his social circle and describing what everybody is wearing, eating, and drinking in nauseating detail but delivered in a flat, matter-of-fact way. What makes the book unsettling is that when the absolutely horrific murder scenes start happening they are narrated in the same boring way that he narrates everything else. There is no resolution to the book either; it just ends.

I tried reading the book..it's like reading the thoughts of a psycho who keeps running through a list over an over..didn't finish lol

He shows up in other books, as his brother is one of the characters in RULES OF ATTRACTION. Though not violent (that I recall!) Sean Bateman is nearly as much of a sociopath . . .

This movie is basically presenting this world of corporate executives who all seem to just live the exact same carbon copy of a life (fiancee, mistress, trying to get into the trendy restaurants, same title, very similar cards, haircuts, etc.). All of them are almost psychotic over their desire to both "fit in", but also be viewed as the top of this group. They are utterly and so obsessed with themselves. And now you have Bateman who is a psychotic killer who figures out that people mistake him for other people. He starts assuming bits of their lives to cover his tracks and hide his crimes. But as he does he looses control over reality, everything is about to crumble down where they catch him as the insane killer he is....but no, noone notices. In this world of phychos Bateman does 'fit in'; so much so that he and everyone else can't even tell if he is the killer Patrick Bateman any more. He got away with his crimes, but he also lost himself and possibly what remained of his mind sanity in the process (but thats okay because everyone else is probably insane too).

I was so excited to see this on the schedule as this was, I think, my first experience with a concept that grew to be one of favorite things about some movies: the lack of clarity in difference between reality and unreality. There's some strong substantiation that some/most/all of this is not real: moments like you said where he chases "Christy" through the apartment with the chainsaw and then subsequently kills her or when Patrick divulges about his homicidal behavior to the model, to Paul, to the barmaid or when he gets in that shootout with the cops because cars don't explode when shot at a couple of times with a handgun. And then there's other moments that are more subtle about their likelihood of being fantasy like him scowling at the manicurist; is that his expression in reality or just how he is feeling at that moment? The scene at the dry cleaners: did that actually happen or was that him fantasizing about being caught with something he may or may not have done in the first place? And if the second night with "Christy" never took place, what about the first with the "dirty blonde"? Finding the line between what's real and what's not makes every re-watch quite entertaining.

I would love to see you guys react to Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick!!

@alexandremclean6211 Год назад

Christian Bale is such a fine actor. Please watch The Machinist, another great psychological thriller. A much less known movie, but so rewarding.

@vincelang3779 Год назад

Second THE MACHINIST recommendation.

@theawesomer8587 Год назад

I highly recommend reading the book. The book goes into more gory detail with the murders. It also is good at portraying the materialist nature, it goes into so much detail of what people are wearing and comparing it to his wardrobe.

@tomarnold7284 Год назад

So glad you get to this movie! If you watched all the table conversations closely, you'll notice nobody was talking to nobody, everyone was so obsessed in their own world they hardly listened to what others said.

It's one of the best sleeper comedies.

@LMarti13 Год назад

Yes this isn't really a horror movie it's more of a satire on 80s reaganomics and corporate culture in general (which yeah is a form of horror I suppose). The only other movie I can think of where "the point" flies over more first-time viewers heads is Starship Troopers.

@tastyneck Год назад

I read the book. Once. More than enough for me and I'm not really that squeamish. It's infinitely worse and more depraved than the film, but also genius in it's commentary and prose. Its one of those books where you both want to, and don't want to, recommend it to people. Also, there are several ways of interpreting the film. Personally, I view it as part psychosis on the part of Bateman and like half the things are 'imagined' (feeding the ATM a kitten, etc). And the other half are either missed because people are so narcissistic (confusing people for each other; disregarding what's being said; etc), self-involved (which is why nobody in that socio-economic group ever hears or sees anything; the dry cleaners do notice the blood and his assistant notices what's in his journal) or ignored (like the lady who covers up all of the murders in that apartment because it's too valuable to keep off the market or to be devalued) because of greed. Ultimately, I think we're supposed to mirror Batemen's experience and end up not really knowing what was real and what wasn't.

@vincelang3779 Год назад

I almost gave up but in one later chapter Patrick goes on about some truly over-the-top act (I forget what) which would absolutely make so much noise that, for certain, the neighbours would have lodged a complaint with the concierge. That was the moment I realized the book was meant to be read as a (very dark!) satire. By contrast, since it does not work on that level, BLOOD MERIDIAN is one story I just couldn't finish - despite have journeyed down THE ROAD twice.

@tastyneck Год назад

@@vincelang3779 I watched the film before reading the book so I knew mostly what I was getting into. But the hooker jack o' lantern was just a bit too far for me. I finished the book but that part is the only thing I remember....unfortunately. I've seen The Road but want to read it. And now I want to read Blood Meridian, as well! lul

This movie is something else. I saw you guys were going to react to it and I watched before seeing your reaction. I had a different experience, I found it incredibly funny at time, but not in a bad way. I think that is the meme culture effect. The movie is nothing short of a different and unique experience, such a good ending as well. Ridicoulse premise, but damn I see why alot of people might be atracted to this character. That movie was great, I give it 7.8/video tapes.

@inhuman4 Год назад

Awesome reaction. Love seeing the two of you sink into the madness with Patrick. My interpretation has always been that you're seeing things through Patrick's eyes because of the scene with the ATM and that cat. But since he doesn't know what is real, we don't either. It's all intentionally ambiguous. You are not supposed to know what is real and what isn't, you're supposed to experience the world the way Patrick does. A crazy violent world where nothing makes sense, no one knows who anyone is, or what is really going on. The plot is him progressing further into madness. At the start he has that long monologue about wearing a mask. He is meticulous about maintaining appearances and fitting in. As the movie progresses the mask slips further and further. He becomes more violent and deranged. Then at the end he realises the mask has slipped completely....and it doesn't matter: "This confession has meant nothing". He's been wearing the mask to blend in but he doesn't even know what's real so what has he blending into? The mask was pointless, he can be who he really is under the mask without consequence.

That's a great reasonable explanation. Makes sense to me. 🙂

This is the movie that made Bale a star. He was relatively unknown at the time, and the director really had to fight to keep him in the movie over a bigger name.

@thomasbaker2067 Год назад

Christian Bale is so fantastic in this movie.

@The_Other_Dan Год назад

It all happened. A big part of the story is that people in that world, around Bateman are so self-obsessed that they only see and hear what they want to. They're supposed to be friends yet most of the time they can't tell each other apart. To the point where Patrick got a fake alibi because someone was mistaken for him at a party and his Lawyer thought he was joking because he had lunch with someone who his mistook for Paul Allen while in London.

@damianstarks3338 Год назад

Love this movie and you two reactions to it.

@VicMikesvideodiary Год назад

It's the ambiguity of not really knowing what is really going on that helps make the film brilliant. It's the very meaning of mental illness, to not really know what is the real truth.
