New version of the American Psycho analysis. I really started to hate it or if nothing else, the comments people were making. So I decided to go back to the original project and edit it more attuned to the last few videos I've made. Hopefully I'm much clearer. Thanks for baring with me.
A thematic analysis of American Psycho. If you have a question please ask below and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you disagree with my interpretation please be polite and state your case with examples. This is a learning experience for everyone and I am happy to be proven incorrect if that be the case. Thank you!

There are people in this world who can’t exist without others. Not because they care about people, or need interaction in the nurturing sense, but because without other’s they can’t take from them. Some people are so narcissistic, they can’t develop anything resembling a personality unless they have a mirror image to try and best. When this leeched group is comprised of people with nothing but time and infinite resources, how does one top it?
2
By having more. By flaunting what they have, or what they are. By being better, for appearance sake, or not. By having more clout, in simplistic terms, gloating terms or superiority terms. By riding of positive emotions or understanding of inherently good things, by latching them to something that can be distanced. By killing those above them, eliminating the competition when it gets too far ahead. By preying on the weak, because they’re easy, and a cheap high. By looking out for #1 and #1 only.
3
All these things paint the picture of someone so naracissistic, unempathetic and unfeeling. Someone you would never want or have the desire to be, even with the positives… Having no point to life after achieving what many would claim to be their endgame, especially without having actually earned or worked for it, must be painful. This person would cake on more and more layers of something they originally weren’t(decency), weather the things they do to make this happen are real or ultimately fake. These things are just built up around a form the person wouldn’t be able to handle. So trying to push past it, to some new plateau of human desire is probably the only thing one can do. How do you make a mountain bigger? By pushing everything else to the earth.
4
And in the end? Well, there is no end, it will go on and on. Racing to a point that is forever in the distance. Unceasing cruelty, greed, spitefulness, and pointlessness. What would be the final point of excess. Thank you.

@WillCarter1976 8 лет назад

Nice Video. The only bit I would add, is that the movie makes a a strong characterization of Bateman's Ego as the only real enemy in his life. All his perceived rivals are in fact just an externalization of his own internal flaws and are simply a way for the Ego to focus his consciousness elsewhere instead of inward where any rational mind would inevitably lead after the heinous acts he commits. The fact that he is surrounded by people just like him is more proof that his environment and his own narcissism reinforce each other, and displays the subconscious contempt he has for himself, even though his Ego prevents any introspection and convinces him that others instead possess all the flaws he hates, while the viewer can clearly see that he too has all these same flaws. At the end, as you say, he can't even reach a point of self-loathing or remorse because from a psychological standpoint, he can no longer tell reality from a dream because his ego is almost in complete control of his conscious psyche.

@theconstipator 8 лет назад

+What it all Meant Hey man, these videos are pretty good and I'd like to see you channel improve, so would you mind if I gave you some feedback? Your points are a little too conceptual, I think if you spoke less vaguely these essays would be more accessible and interesting to watch. What you're doing now is great, but I think instead of simply starting an idea and only showing the evidence on the screen, more explanation behind these ideas (actually spoken aloud) would work better. The quotes and scenes you show on the screen back your points up well, but the videos would be better if you verbally explained these points. Its an easy fix too, all you have to do is this; Instead of "Eliminating the competition before it gets too far ahead ('Defames paul even after murder' shows on screen." Simply say "Eliminating the competition before it gets too far ahead, for example, he defeames Paul even after murdering him." I understand that you have a lot of evidence you'd like to use to back up your ideas but I think refining some of it to only the best pieces and then speaking them aloud would be a better way of structuring these videos, and this is the way that some of the best movie analysis channels do it as well (Every Frame a Painting, Channel Criswell, etc.) I still think your videos are well made and interesting to watch, but this simple change would, in my opinion, make your channel into something great.

@BENSTER489 8 лет назад

+What it all Meant Far better analysis! Good work!

@WhatitallMeant 8 лет назад

theconstipator I've thought about doing it that way, I just really like this style and it helps me get things out much faster. I really want to do these and then have a longer form series that does exactly what you're saying but with everything in there. Of course that would make them very long, but I feel being somewhere in the middle is the worst place to be. It mostly just comes down to time though. Since doing them with the quotes and notes, I've been able to do a lot more. I just have too many responsibilities. If I ever got to do this full time things would be different, but unfortunately this is just a passion right now. Thanks a lot though, I always try to mark comments like this so I can make improvements as I go.

@theconstipator 8 лет назад

Fair enough. Keep doing what you're doing man, I look forward to the long form series.

To be honest I can't stay focused on your voice while there are scenes and captions simultaneously hitting my eyes. I do enjoy the little tidbits I pick up on from your videos though.

@WhatitallMeant 8 лет назад

+spoocyguy It's better than those two and clip cut aways. If it's a short caption then sorry. I usually gauge it on reading it fairly quickly. The longer captions I try to leave spaces for at the end though.

@beatrizmedeirosnoleto9391 8 лет назад

+spoocyguy Me neither, it is even worse because I am not native english speaker, I process both the voice and captions slower, I have to back lots of times and the video doesn't flow, I don't get the emotion it is supposed to convey.

Still tricky reading one thing and hearing another. Might be because I have the brain capacity of a 7 year old though...

@OhHelloSugar 8 лет назад

American Psycho is one of my favorite films and this is a very strong and accurate description of Patrick Bateman's character, but for a video titled "What It All Meant", there was very little if any actual analysis of either the character or the film. You've described who Bateman is to a T, but didn't analyze WHY he is the way he is or delve into the themes of narcissism, materialism, existentialism, and nihilism (any other "isms" we can throw in there? lol) that are the real undertow of the film. Very good video, but it did leave me feeling like there was so much more that could be said.

What it all Meant Mate as much as your videos look and produced well. Your analysis of what these movies are about / what it all meant . Is quite awful. Seems most your videos consist of the horror of capitalism.

@kathrynfisher2982 4 года назад

Love this! Objective achieved! I especially enjoy the captions and commentary and how you show the contradiction between his ego and his inner child or conscientious self, and how by following what your ego wants, is foolish. How his ego isn’t his friend, or anybody else’s! I love your videos. I think you do absolutely 100% perfect job on all of these! Keep doing these PLEASE! They are very appreciated and helpful. It’s difficult I’m sure to find the right scenes and to get the meaning out but you do it fluidly and make it very understandable for the viewer! You, yourself are a professional filmmaker naturally. Really. Your videos are more authentic and deep than movies that make box office hits. You have a lot of talent and thank you for using it for good, and helpful insights to help others see that there is a deeper meaning, and that it’s important to read between the lines! Most seem to not do this. Please continue with these insightful interpretations 😊🙏🌎🌟

What did this mean in the movie?

@TranzparentMethods 8 лет назад

Patrick Bateman was a narcissist, not a psychopath. He never actually committed any of the murders, the last 20 minutes of the film back that up. He calls his lawyer and confesses and when he meets the lawyer he laughs and then gets his name confused. The lawyer laughs, Bateman goes to Paul Allen's apartment, it's being shown to future clients and at the end of the film he's still sitting with his buddies, who are just as narcissistic as he is. It's all a fabrication because he doesn't have the power he WANTS. Jeanie looks through his planner there are drawings of his "murders". He wanted to murder people but never had the balls to do so. Patrick Bateman was a coward who only looked at how much "better" other people lives were. The novel by Bret Easton Ellis, has a similar ending.

@toikissa8734 8 лет назад

Wrong. Eben the filmmaker and the writer said that the murders did indeed happen. Everything presented was real though sometimes overdone.

@taylor2449 7 лет назад

When looking at just the movie it does appear as though the ending is saying that it was all in his head, but this is not the case. The director herself said she felt that this was a failure on her part, and she should have left it more open ended, and that to her it was not all his imagination. Maybe some didn't happen, or in his mind, things played out a bit differently but he is most certainly a murderer.

@johnmilner3030 7 лет назад

perhaps there's more than just yes or no. at east we never really know, if he commited any of the murders or not, no matter what the director may have said. both in the novel and the movie, some murders are clearly just over the top, for example that chainsaw scene at the staircase. i doubt that really happened. perhaps slippy jones is right, he was a coward and it was all written in his mind. however, the murder of the homeless guy may have been real as it would match his personality. who knows?

@LetsRetry 7 лет назад

i dont get it if he really did kill people.......how come it doesn't make sense??? like him using a chainsaw and no one hears it or how he killed cops and blew up a car and no one saw it what about the pedestrians he killed along the way, how come no one noticed what about the the confession with his lawyer and the helicopter was tracking him....how come his office wasn't breached HOW HASN'T HE BEEN CAUGHT it only makes sense is if it was all in his head....if that was the case, the execution in the film made it perfect and made it a great film but i cant take it seriously if he really did do all that and all that absurdity reasons that he is still not in jail please someone give me an accurate answer.

@DonnieDaniels 7 лет назад

No. It makes sense, but as Taylor says, she made mistakes. The reality is that "no one hears it," "no one saw it," or "how come no one notices" boils down to *no one cares.* Patrick Bateman is a self-aware reflection of our narcissistic and materialistic society. He mimics everyone else to blend in, because he's so mentally distant from everyone else. "I'm simply not there." Ironically - as twisted as it sounds - he becomes more human than everyone he is surrounded by at the end of the film with this realization; as everyone else behaves like windup dolls. Nobody remembers each other by name, but remembers them by the products they wear (and those products are remembered vividly by name). They judge each other by how they look or where they eat, recognize this as the norm and shape their selves to be judged in the same, yet higher standard for validation. People care so much about presentation over substance. To give a few good examples, think about that scene where they show each other their business card. Their names are staring each other in the face, but that's not as important as the eggshell texture or the fancy font. "Nobody remembers each other by name;" but by presentation. Here's another one: "What do you do?" "I'm into murders and executions." "Do you like it?" "Well, that depends. Why?" "Most guys I know who works in mergers and acquisitions really don't like it." ... Was somebody listening? I don't think so. Re-watch the film and take note of the many times Patrick says something with substance - whether it be right or wrong - and take note of everyone's reaction. It doesn't seem like anyone is really paying attention. There is one big flaw on the director's behalf that has added to the confusion that is, "Is this real?" I'll explain. Remember the scene where he goes to Paul Allen's apartment and it was all clean? He tried to find all evidence of his being there as a realtor was trying to sell it? What happened there was that she knew that he knew what had happened there and wanted him to leave because of it. She was trying to keep the murders under wraps, because that would have effected the property value. She cared about reputation and personal gain. In this world, people like Patrick Bateman get away with murder all the time.

@AlexConley 8 лет назад

I subscribed to your channel after your first upload of American Psycho; I've been a big fan since. I think that this video shows that you've grown a lot and I really appreciate how much you've invested in this series because I think your analysis is always insightful and well-developed. Specifically, I really enjoy how in this second upload you've cut the movie audio as it can be distracting between reading text in the video and your analysis. Just an observation, but I think it was a smart decision. I really look forward to see where you go from here. Hopefully it's only going to keep going up! Thank you again for the videos!

@WhatitallMeant 8 лет назад

+AlexConley Thanks, hopefully so! I'm trying to improve as much as possible. I don't want to hinder anyone, just help someone understand these things I love or have a good discussion with those who already do. Also I'm doing No Country For Old Men next

@SaraStar7373 8 лет назад

This is really really good! Thanks for also having the transcript in he description, it's cool to read along. And also thanks for not having a really bland matter of fact voice like many analysis type you tubers do, your voice is great to listen to, especially with the music in the background instead of silence. Great work!

@SaraStar7373 8 лет назад

Also, I'm not sure if you've seen the movie Enemy? It's got Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon and it's directed by Denis Villeneuve, the guy who made the thriller Prisoners, (if you've seen that). Enemy is very symbolistic and has a lot of hidden messages in it. I think you'd really enjoy the film, and it'd be cool to see your interpretation of it, and of its symbols and messages.

@1Insurgency1 6 лет назад

So, I don't think Patrick has good inside of him. I think the Reagan comparison was wrong - since I think Patrick tried to elicit the impression he's a decent guy throughout most of the events of AP, despite being an utterly sinister type of evil. I don't think there's even any point aside from the superficial nature of Bateman that he truly represents any inkling of good.

@dramallama456 4 года назад

This analysis is a mini movie in itself. Dramatic.. stylistic.. but I can't get your point as four things happen at once: 1. You narrate your dramatic and complex analysis 2. You give single one lined subtitles which links the storyline to your dramatic and complex analysis 3. You give multiple visuals which links your single one lined subtitles to your dramatic and complex analysis 4. You overlay all of this with music.

I just discovered your channel and I think it is great, i think a good movie to analyze would be "requiem for a dream" or the new animate film "the little prince"; they both have very layered thematic content.

@bobpolo2964 8 лет назад

Here's my thoughts: I remember the first one being jarring because of the clash of text and vocal. So I expected different on this one. After my first viewing of the new one, I felt the same way except with even more anger. But after reading many of the comments, I learned that alotta people thought it was an improvement, so I gave it a second viewing. I instantly discovered that you are actually doing something unique. Because you are speaking clear as possible and saying something significant, the addition of text made me want to WORK to follow the text while listening at the same time. Felt like I was watching a short analytical movie that you gotta pay close attention to or else you'll miss something. The unique thing about this video essay is it plays on the viewer's memory of the film because if you haven't seen the movie, you won't fully understand the scene references being shown. It's like you created some kinda awesome private language for the fans of the movie. 10/10. This was great. All before I got my afternoon started. Good job, my friend.

@WhatitallMeant 8 лет назад

+bob polo Yeah. I mean I want everyone to be able to read everything along with what I'm saying and I try to give space for that. However, if someone already knows the scene they should be able to realize why I have it up like you say. In a sense you could just listen to what I'm saying and disregard the notes if you know the film enough. Either way I'm glad you turned around on how you felt. I like how these turn out and its always nice to see someone appreciate it and actually follow it as opposed to just wanting casual interpretation or entertainment.

@bobpolo2964 8 лет назад

What it all Meant my suggestion is that you continue this path of video presentation because it largely sets you apart from A GROWING number of film critics already on RU-vid, plus, creatively speaking, you will eventually map out new forms of presentation based on how you've developed your current mode of presentation. Hope I didn't confuse you

@WhatitallMeant 8 лет назад

bob polo I like this format way more. The only thing I might change is the length of breaks and I might fade the text in as opposed to having it just pop up so as to make it a little less distracting

@boss-ej4dp 3 года назад

His life is a mess, he is a child of divorce, forced into doing a job at his father's company. The movie starts with him being human and normal but as it progresses he starts losing himself trying to be what other expect of him yet still falling low, he wants to kill his boss. He wants to be real, he doesn't want to be a guy who smiles on the outside and there is nothing inside. So his mind lets him think he did so those murders, what he did was kill the air. Yes he hired prostitute. Never killed anyone though. In the end he becomes one of them, like most of the Americans with no feelings other than greed and sadness.

+MpowerdAPE Thanks. I purposefully try to avoid that or conspiracy theories in the things like 2001. They aren't what the film is about, they're just side conversations or details. Which is fine, but sometimes its really bad to take one scene out of context and give it meaning when it's part of a bigger whole. Just look at how many versions of christianity there are to see why.

is it sad that this describes me personally. i was diagnosed with ODD as a child and then ASPD also on the test i scored very much above the average for psychotic thoughts. i like people or women who i think are happier than me because i believe i can some how take or get some of their happiness. i like/ hate people like me because i always want to be better. at first i though it was cool to be this way but now I'm feeling very empty and hollow i just wanna know if others feel this way or if i am just crazy or as patrick put it a sick guy. that last little line was humorous but i dont want people to think I'm joking.

+Starfire media -chris At least you see it in yourself and thus can counteract it. The worst thing in the the word is to lack introspection.

@christopherceasar5353 8 лет назад

What it all Meant also really good video i remeber when i first watched this movie i completely missed the point it was making. yes. I have moments of introspection and then others of grandeous self inflation. Haha but that is life i guess we all have our problems.

I kinda liked the older one, but, no worries.

+Max Stirner It's not going anywhere and other people found it confusing. It didn't take much time either so it won't detract form me finishing the next new video.

So, was the movie trying to tell us that we're all psychopaths in our own way?

@WhatitallMeant 8 лет назад

Not exactly, but any narrative can give you empathy or introspection so in a sense if it helps you to understand yourself or helps you understand someone else, yes.

What ended up happening to your Birdman video? :(

Either I am just older than you or we think alike, but these things about American Psycho that are facts seem obvious. Putting piano music behind you does not make your words more sage.

i kinda miss the ambiguity of the end, whether it was all in his head or partially or not at all.

it seemed more like a poem than analysis.

Personally, I prefer to have sound quotes from the movie, but great video either way.

@WhatitallMeant 8 лет назад

+Peter Marohl I'm thinking I might do longer form videos at some point with the old editing system. The problem with the old American Psycho video was me trying to force my script, all sorts of text, different length clips, and SO many examples into a short format. In this longer form video I'd probably delve into everything and talk more during clips like the Plinket reviews. I just don't want to sacrifice being concise at the moment.
