It's something real investigators do. They change their style of speaking, they go from inqusitive to accusatory, from soft to loud, etc... they do this to keep the target uncomfortable and in their discomfort the target might let something slip by accident. They don't usually change their tactics from minute to minute (unless they think it would help) but changing tactics within an interrogation is key.
@@poindextertunes How do you know ? Have you met the guy because I have and he was very friendly . Not many actors of his status would give you the time of day.
"Very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes..." Anthony Starr (aka Homelander) now OWNS that description. when you look at him doing interviews, he seems more like Homelander than he does his own self irl.
Of being super friendly and nice 👍 I’ve met him when he was with Nicole in Sydney Australia. He was the first to run across to the middle of the road to help a lady that dropped her shopping bag. Do you know he actually saved people from drowning from a yacht that was sinking. Stop listening to all the jealous haters.
@@MrWeareone777Once when he was staying in hotel and they were serving breakfast, Tom Cruise demanded that the hotel clears breakfast room from all other guests so he can eat alone. Hotel obviously said no to him and he threw a tantrum from it. Yeah he is a really nice guy!
pyshopaths can be good people we are just mundane fearless careless and have a hard time understanding other people and our emotions i try to act super friendly and use logic to guide myself through not being an asshole because i have no moral compass but that doesnt mean all psychos are serial killers we just will kill more easily without our heart skipping a beat@@MrWeareone777
i first saw the movie. Then years after i read the book and watched the movie again and even tho the movie is fantastic the book is so fuckin great that the movie seemed like a letdown :D one of my favorite book and movie
It couldn't have been on Dave Letterman show. Tom Cruise did that interview in 2004, and American Psycho came out in 2000. Christian Bale must be mistaken, he must've seen Tom Cruise on something else.
Knowing now that that's how Defoe playing that role make s so much sense. When I first watched this movie I was convinced it was all in Bateman's head. The biggest reason the erratic responses from Defoe.
@@ultraashy It sounds like they filmed each interview 3 times with dafoe having different levels of suspicion. Then for the movie they spliced clips from all 3 of these takes for EACH interview. So in the movie each interview had pieces of each of the 3 takes.
@@rrbcraftergames3361 It’s hard to describe but i basically focus on something extremely meticulously almost to the point i make myself anxious about that one thing I first found i can do it while getting ready for a big hockey game, running scenario in my head of what could happen
Theres a great scene in the book when Bateman gets caught in the elevator with Cruise. Bateman's like "I really liked you in Bartender" and Cruise is like "uhh it's called Cocktail". Bateman's nose spontaneously started bleeding lol
While the movie is about as great as an adaptation as there could be, I’ll never not wish they had somehow included the Bono scene. That scene was just amazing and a true standout. Ellis taking one of the most pious rock stars and turning that completely on its head to mimic and comment on Bateman’s psychosis is just brilliant.
@@TheBeardedProfessor i agree but some of the scenes were a little too brutal for me. Peeling off layers of eyeballs and stuff. I especially didn't like the poor little dog getting stomped to death. The book really made me feel sorry for it. Funny detail though...Bateman buys his brother Sean a tie and says "I hope he hangs himself with it" and he does in Rules of Attraction
@@johnbowyer8266 oh I know. And I love that he’s Sean’s brother. Rules Of Attraction is one of my absolute favorite books of all time and it makes so much sense that they’re siblings. The way so much of Ellis’ work interweaves and connects is one of my favorite things about reading his stuff.
Damn Bale actually picked that up and knew about it perhaps before a lot of us did. I just remember Tom’s smile. It’s like a wall or a shield that while supposedly being a welcoming gesture is more like telling everyone that he’s not going to let them in.
Its bizarre the sympathetic "broken winged bird who cannot fly" narrative that people ascribe to people like Tom, the fact is, if youre around him, you're already as "in" as he's capable of letting you be. That is all that exists for him. The only resistence he might meet in life is in him being unable to convincingly pull off neurotypical behavior for people who, for whatever reason, are more intuitive than most.
Bateman meets Tom Cruise in an elevator in the book. Tells him his favorite movie is "Bartender." Tom corrects him that it was "Cocktail" and points out that Patrick's nose is bleeding
I really don't know if that's the case. Bale's Bateman is at the same time, a psychopath, but very human. He shows A LOT his emotions throughout the movie although he tries to sell himself as elegant and indifferent to other people. I don't know if Tom Cruise would be able to pull a performance like that as he already looks like a psychopath
@@th.araujo Tom Cruise is very much capable of pulling off many performances. He's a versatile actor. Not as versatile as Bale but don't act like he's as flat as Owen Wilson or Sandler. Cruise has proved himself with a lot of incredible performances.
In the book Tom actually meets Patrick Bateman they both live in the same building. Bateman humiliated himself when talking to him after giving one of his monologues about toms movies only to get the title wrong showing he has actually never seen it.
From how i understand it, i think youre slightly misrepresenting the brilliance of the william defoe splicing. The scene spliced was the interview with bateman in his office. The uncanniness is unbearable as each time defoe speaks his demeanour seems to change entirely. Here it more so seems you’re implying that he is acting differently between scenes in both the restaurant and the office.
That is what it seemed like the narrator was implying. i knew that about the office scene, but if i hadn't i probably wouldve assumed what you commented.
Well Narcissism and Psychopathy largely overlap to the point that even experts have trouble distinguishing the diagnosis. A fair number of celebrities are narcissistic as are a fair number of politicians, we tend to reward overconfidence to our detriment. Corporate top executives have a much larger percentage of Psychopaths within their ranks than in the general population. We need to structure society to better recognize and not reward such behavior.
No, they do not overlap at all. Sure malignant narcissists may at first glance appear similar but a professional will not have trouble diagnosing. Psychopaths don’t have an emotional center and Narcissists are all about emotions, manipulating emotions, hiding or showing emotions. Narcissists are actually emotionally weak that’s why they manipulate their environment to make themselves feel good while Psychopaths truly couldn’t care less as they don’t properly feel like normal human beings do. You could easily break a narcissist, once you see through them, but not a psychopath.
Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
Could you imagine being such a phenomenal actor that you can fking sweat on cue? Lol. That’s nuts. “American psycho” is easily one of the best dark comedies ever put on screen
