CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) discusses one of his favorite songs from Huey Lewis & the News, and then murders Paul Allen (Jared Leto) with an axe.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Bret Easton Ellis's dark and violent satire of America in the 1980s is brought to the screen in this unsettling drama with blackly comic overtones. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), the son of a wealthy Wall Street financier, is pursuing his own lucrative career with his father's firm. Bateman is the prototypical yuppie, obsessed with success, fashion, and style. He is also a serial killer who murders, rapes, and mutilates both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or reason. Donald Kimble (Willem Dafoe), a police detective, questions Bateman about the disappearance of Paul Allen (Jared Leto), whom Patrick murdered several days earlier. As Kimble stays on Bateman's trail, Bateman's mask of studied, distant cool begins to fall apart. American Psycho also features Reese Witherspoon as Bateman's girlfriend, as well as Samantha Mathis, Chloe Sevigny, and Guinevere Turner; the latter also co-authored the screenplay. Controversy followed the production from the start, when speculation that Leonardo Di Caprio would play Bateman sparked concerns that he would lure preteens to an R-rated movie. Di Caprio soon bowed out of the project, and original leading man Bale was reinstated. Later, a group of Toronto residents attempted to block filming in that city after Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo claimed that Ellis's novel inspired his murder spree.

Dude casually moonwalks his way to murder.
If you're going to kill someone, you might as well do it with style.
Like a moonpowerwalk lol
I liked your comment then unliked it just so it stays at 420
@@Chiledyz blaze it
Its not correctly performed though.
I love the way he sweetly talks to Paul like he’s talking to a child.
Paul is blasted out of his mind so he kinda has to.
Well Paul may have been drunk, lol
Bateman drugged his drink
this is one form of psychopath manipulation( the most common ).
Patrick had to ingratiate himself so as not to arouse suspicion. Namely, he introduced himself as a caring and friendly person (of course he is not).
Yeah, if you do not take it in context, it looks pretty sweet.
Aren't all drunk people like children?
The dance Christian Bale does after turning on the stereo is hilarious lol

I see it as Howl killing Morbius.
Patrick Bateman hitting Paul with an axe is a subtle hint he doesn't like him. Amazing directing.
Thats the moment that bateman turns into the american psycho
Oh really? No way
This is the moment when Bateman became Marcus Halberstram
You can tell by the way the axe just glistens and shines while resting elegantly upon the floor that you will die in style. The solid light birch handle gives it the perfect balance of style, sophistication, and masculinity while maintaining its function as a tool to tame the harshest of wildernesses. Empires have been built and destroyed with pieces like this.
I know right? Honestly quite incredible.

Bale was so committed to this role that he actually murdered Jared Leto's stunt double in this scene
XD
Actually the whole scene was improved. Bale called together the crew becouse he had a wonderful idea Leto double was drunk, but when the axe come out everyone get along with it.
Facts
@@hiperblaszter wait really?
No he didn't.
"Is that a raincoat"?
"YeS it IS!"
The way he says it rofl
He sounds so proud 😂
He sounds like he's completely disgusted by Paul but he realizes that he has to keep up the charade of being friendly, so the result comes off as a patronizing response that one might give to a child who asks an obvious question.
Sounds like Goofy
Reminds me of how Jim Carey would say it
it's hit to be square
“Is that a raincoat?”
“YeS iT IssS!”
adorable
Favorite part
He sounded so excited lol
Damn why did this get so many likes lol
He sounded like the voice in a commercial
I love the way Patrick becomes so calm when he stops swinging the axe, calm face, no remorse on his face, just him, his cigar, corpse, blood on his face, business suit and the song.
Makes sense after october 7 and Instagram genocide videos of the genocide occupation - "we have to end poverty and apartheid and arms race"- ....
Love the subtle shot at 2:00 where the bloody half of bateman’s face immediately turns to his non bloody side, showing how quickly he can snap back to seeming completely normal after a violent murder.
I LOOOVE that part. Just a perfect symbolic representation of what this movie is about
"Two Face"
Nice never noticed that before
2:17 is my favourite shot of the film; a guy in a suit casually smoking a cigar, half his face covered in blood, over a corpse.

There's something that makes me rewatch this scene again and again. It's not the violence and cruelty, but Bale's acting and 2000's movie vibe
everything about this scene is satisfying for some reason

@@caramia6681 I know it was set in the late 80's, but the way the scenes are filmed and the unique camera quality just gave it that 2000's vibe
It IS pure violence and cruelty though. Horror movie fan all my life, but here, we're shown the brutality of a murder and are expected to get behind it as well as root for the killer. Reminiscent of Serial Mom in some ways, but I don't see this movie as a form of entertainment. This movie is wrong at it's core.
@Jamie McCallum Hard to go wrong with Russell. Might just give it a shot.
I love how he called Paul before killing him. Shows that he didn't just wanted to kill him but see his last moments being terrified

@@fa14fighterjet breaking bateman
I think it’s universally accepted that Bale is a generational level actor, but when I heard that he ad-libbed that incredibly perfect goofy dance move into the scene.. I was just blown away. First off, try doing it in the mirror. Quick fact: You can’t. You’ll be able to do the motion, but it will look clunky. This guy just came outta nowhere with this and did it flawless lol. So perfect to the character too
Something tells me he probably has done this dance while making snacks in the kitchen or doing various tasks around the house.
Funny enough, Bale's moonwalking impro was the only thing that Bret Easton Ellis, the novel's writer disliked about the movie and Bale's portrayal (but even he admitted later that he's grown fond of it over time).
Christian Bale and Sean Penn, #1 and #1.5, rest of the so called actors come a billion leagues below. The worst of all time who comes another 500 trillion leagues below is Keanu Reeves
It's not that difficult of a dance, it's just swinging your hips and arms. it's impressive for improv, but it's not a very impressive dance move on its own.
@@NoName-bb2pumy man, please don’t you ever forget Daniel Day Lewis.
*Fun fact:*
In the original script, Jared Leto’s character wasn’t meant to die. However, Christian Bale was so annoyed by his presence that he decided to kill him on set. The film crew just let him continue, to afraid to stop him.
Fun fact: Same thing happened in fight club.
Bro how come in the 90's he appeared in great movies but died (good) but in later he appeared in bad movies
Cap
@@HogRidda no
The Morbious jokes have overstayed their welcome...
0:42 Flawless moonwalk. I think it really gives the scene a big boost.
Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's moon walk
Me when I'm going back to the fridge
He was moonwalking so Allen couldn't see the axe.
Commercially and artistically
That moonwalk was pretty bad to be honest lol.
"is that a raincoat?"
"yes it is 😆"
this movie is flawless
Did you catch the half-normal face & half blood face.... duality...
his little dance always makes me laugh
@@Weimerica8841 same he be like 🕺🕺
Does he never seen raincoat before 😳😭🤣🤣
Sounded like he was trying to imitate Jim Carrey
The thing that struck me about this scene is how much Christian Bale's voice, mannerisms, and overall energy remind me of peak Jim Carey.
Ironic, given that his performance was styled on the mannerisms of Tom Cruise.
Or Gavin Newsom
That’s EXACTLY what I thought when I saw this movie!! Glad someone else noticed!
the movie was released before Jim carey peak (unless you consider his pre hollywood movie era to be peak)
@@Mattiasthesecondin living color was seeing the peak beast released from the cage

Anyone else think it's something like Jim Carrey? Especially the voice reminds me of something Jim would do
@@APAMVs Yes, definitely - like a violently unhinged version of Ace Ventura.
@@mickeyscratcher yesss!
Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s dance
It's utterly terrifying how Bale just turns off the psychopathic murderer side in the blink of an eye. Seeing him, face covered in blood, just casually and blankly pull out a cigar and take a seat is so unnerving.
only one side of his face is covered. when he turns to sit and smoke, the viewer can see his personality change as he presents the "clean" side of him. the duality of man
I often wish Robert Geisel (Jeffrey Dahmer) used more of a Patrick Bateman style.
He’s such a great actor
that is what psychopathy is, being emotionless to this typa stuff
@@noided4230 Oh my god that is a nice detail
I like how he slowly expresses more and more emotion until he kills him.
Interesting fact: His little moonwalk was improvised
It was also one of the only problems Bret Easton Ellis had with the movie
@@JohnSmith-co1zv I feel like we watched the same video which had these facts 😂👌
Did you know that the moonwalk is literally evil and demonic in nature? It’s a dance representing evil and how it is upside down and backwards of anything that is civilized or normal
@@OG-Ghost33 wow, I did not know that 😂 that is interesting 👌
@@yukywookie4867 would you mind sending a link of that vid?
I love how he covers his suit but doesn't mind dirtying his face. The face, the symbol of his humanity, can be sullied and stained without any care whatsoever, but the suit, the symbol of his social role, must be preserved. His colleagues wouldn't notice bloody hands or a bloody face, and if they did, they might even celebrate them, but a bloody suit is an affront to the order of things.
I love the little details in this film about what is perceived as more important to the characters.
Another one is in the first scene when Patrick is introducing himself, he mentions where he lives before telling us his name, showing that he thinks his home is more important to his identity than who he is as a person.
hmmm, thats one way of putting it.... maybe he just likes the taste of blood
Great observation!
@@natewallis1 Either that or the face is easy to wash...whereas blood STAINS clothes. It's still fun to look deeper into thing's that weren't meant to mean much though lol.
maybe it’s easier to wash your blood covered face than your blood covered clothes
his being a pretentious, snobby music nerd about the blandest, most mainstream top 40's music was such a great personality trait for his character
You don’t get it though, he’s not actually a nerd about the music. This is rehearsed small talk for him, this is his imitation of how he thinks normal people have a conversation, down to picking the most main stream music he can. Batemen is supposed to represent someone who see’s and understand what the American dream is, and to appear like he has everything that would fulfill a person in life, but it’s all an act to hide how hollow/empty he is of emotion.
@@samadams8533 It wouldn't surprise me if Bateman actually just dislikes music in general.
@@samadams8533 that's a valid interpretation, but we know that he does, on some level, enjoy the music he gushes about. Otherwise, why would he put his headphones in and listen to it in order to drown out conversations a normal person would want to seem like they're paying attention to, like when talking to his wife or his secretary?
Blandest? I guess you are immune crazy guys with axes
@@tmrevenge I mean, it's true. Bateman himself points out this song is unironically about how cool it is to conform lol not to mention the music itself is about as "80s arena rock" as you can get.

I love how he's subtly saying _why_ he's a murderer. He doesn't do it for hatred or revenge or competition. He is simply empty inside and trapped in his reality and no one would ever understand his motives.
Interesting point. It also seems like he’s subtly telling Paul he should be paying more attention, because he’s prepping his murder scene right in front of him.
So like, is Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) Elon Musk (Mark Mylin)?
@@matthewhawking4318 no, you must be very young, this movie came out long before elon musk was even the CEO at Tesla.
Since this is all a fantasy he’s just fantasizing about killing a guy he hates
@@nochannelmusician769 The directors stated that they wanted to leave the ending ambiguous as to whether or not he did any of it. Even if he did, it's pretty obvious that the hotel went out of its way to cover up for the murders that Bateman did commit- Seeing as how a murder within the apartment would in itself tarnish their reputation. Regardless of whether or not Patrick actually did kill all those people, it doesn't really matter in the end. No one in wall street cares anyway.
Patrick Bateman reacts in the only understandable way one would after being around Jared Leto for more than five minutes

@@ingridhollmann yeah I also don't understand why so many ppl hate Jared Leto lmao

@@ingridhollmann he was known to be a horror to be around for the other actors of Suicide Squad
Have you guys noticed the closer he gets to murdering him he starts to act more wild and sound more like a commercial
Honestly!!! I thought I was the only one who thought that.
It’s the radio voice phenomenon. Mancow mueller is famous for it
Just like the song. Its "hip" or it's the right thing to do to be phony. So he's just like hey Lewis he is acting phony so much it kills him. Like huey said I use to be renegade but now I settle down so the more phony he is the more he is closer to attacking because even though huey was being more trendy he also delivers the message of hey I can be just as pop as other and make a hit.

@ch3rr Ah, make sense!
this joke was so funny it was said around 30 times in this comment section
Fun fact: Paul Allen did not actually die. He just fell asleep and his head hit a conveniently placed ketchup packet that Bateman hit instead of him. Bateman knows this, but knows he also has a concussion and therefore probably should rest instead of go to Dorsia, and the insult was just a friendly joke. The screaming was a slight panic. Bateman truly is a good friend.
I wish I had a friend like Bateman
What kind of a dark joke is this 💀
💀
@@ursidae97 💀💀💀
Fun fact: This is actually a possibility since Bateman has severe psychosis, it's also implied Paul is still alive later in the film.
I love it how he does critique on 80s music before each kill.
Or threesome...
Well the setting of the movie and book take place in the 1980s during the Wall Street boom. Movie takes place in 1988.
The writer of the book used to do music reviews, so it was his way of inserting those bits from his past work in there.
i like it better in the book, where the reviews are completely seperate from the killings.
It sounds like Bale is channeling a form of Jim Carrey energy
I love how Patrick’s emotion just shuts down after raging and murdering Paul Allen. Some movie killers were like just realizing what they’ve done or just sort of took their time to just realized what they have done. But Patrick’s emotion just SHUTS DOWN completely and takes off his raincoat with no emotion in his face whatsoever. Christian Bale’s acting performance is just brilliant
To be more specific. In the book Patrick is a sociopath who is trying everything he can to be noticed/feel something.
@@kristiankepley5944 He even murders a kid to see if it makes him feel anything

@@RonWolfHowl I was saying in the book

The disappointment in Patricks face when Paul says "they´re okay" is priceless.
I missed that. That face is hilarious. Like "yeah I'm deffinilty gunna kill you now."
Yes just another reason to kill him although he already planned to do that
Bateman’s like ‘you really had to say that, didn’t you?’
Had to rewind that like 3 times because its so funny :D
It wasn't the reservation at Dorsia that got Paul killed, Patrick was just going to paint the ceiling, but Paul made a fatal lapse in judgement by describing Huey Lewis and the News as just "okay".
- Is that a raincoat?
- Yes, it is! :D
That part kills me
@Mehmed V well, sure as hell it doesn't only kill me
Just realised that when Patrick is doing his monologue about the song he says: "a song so catchy most people probably don't even listen to the lyrics, but they should!" and that's Patrick's whole character and plot of the movie in a nutshell, a guy so charming on the surface that people dismiss all the noticeable hints that he's a murderous sociopath.
wow! never thought of that ! Brilliant observation.
Nat Kam thanks im really proud of myself for figuring it out, I used to fail my language in high school
Not necessarily, though. Was it all in Bateman’s head in the end?
Lmao I love your profile pic. Or should I say lego Dengar
Lego Jihad I think you mean Psycopath friendo
My headcanon is that Patrick hadn't fully decided to kill Paul yet until that little face he made at 0:08. Like "Oh just OKAY? JUST OKAY? That's it, mister, you just lost your living privileges"
I understood that reference
Then you're wrong
I think Paul was doomed the moment he set foot in Patrick's apartment, but it's an interesting reading. The novel plays a lot more with Patrick's emotional lability, his inappropriate emotional reactions in various situations. The film really highlights this in the business card scene, when he is profoundly unsettled by Paul Allen's card. In the book there are many more examples and his emotions run the gamut from anger to terror. So it would be in character for him to kill someone for thinking Huey Lewis and the News is only okay.
@@Monsposse Except he never actually killed anyone. It was all in his head.
@@brcsn0000 ok
The way he says "Yes it is" is so funny to me cause he's talking to Allen like he's a child. He's just so joyful in this scene while he's getting ready to kill him. Definitely the best scene in the movie
It's up there. This movie has so many great scenes. Some of Bales best work I think.
It's overjoyed with Paul for finally noticing something
Christian Bale was channeling his inner Jim Carrey
Yeah gets him drunk and unaware because of his jealousy. Hehe it’s like Patrick is killing a more pathetic version of himself 😅
I love how he doesn’t even try to make it less suspicious. Paul: “You have a dog, little chow or something?” Patrick: “ No Allen” Paul: “Is that a raincoat?” Patrick: “yes it is!:D”
@Hayes Boyd I think Paul started to catch on a bit when he saw Patrick with a raincoat. He makes like a "Wait what the hell" face when he goes to turn on the music.
Who expects someone to just start wearing a raincoat
Been admiring this point for a bit now.

2:00 The aboutface from right to left was an absolutely brilliant subtle display of directing and positioning for Bateman's duality. How one side is fresh and clean, and how the other side is drenched in blood.

I love this shot of paul at 1:26 where he says "Patrick its you, you're the American psycho" what an incredible scene.
But he didn't say that ?
@@virendra678 yeah he did
The sequel was definitely worse than the original, but I personally really liked the line “Rachel, it’s you! You’re the American Psycho II: All American Girl!?!?!?”
@@EvilMaster4002 explain
@@miacarbone1479 he said it
This dude got mad hidden talents as a music reviewer.
hol up
Anthony Fantano and Bateman have to collab soon
Actually, he memorized the reviews 💀
I do hope the hypocrisy of the scene wasnt lost on you. He's dancing to a song about it being cool to be a nonconformist, despite the fact that his physical appearance conforms to 80s society so well that he cannot be caught for even the most heinous of crimes.
@@nintendopet114 It's a song about the benefits of conformity when Patrick is the personification of the negative effects it can have
Bro sorta crazy
And the fact his business card was better than his.
@@overthehedge6392 yeah, it's kinda ridiculous, but that's what makes it so funny 😂
That’s the whole premise for the film and Bale’s character. To not realise it you’d have to have never seen the film or read the book 👀
@@carlsworldofwisewords8907 I've both watched the movie and read the book to study his psychology. He's a fragile narcissist in my opinion, meaning he believes he is the best, and if anyone defies this belief, he gets so mad that he kills them. His life also completely revolves around what people think of him, which is laughable. I am well aware that it is his mentality, and I am merely laughing at this pathetic mentality.
@@katkadospisilova got it first time 😉
Christian Bale has just incredible charm even when he plays psychotic murderer 😅💪🏿.
Christian Bale played Joker, Two-Face and the Mask in one scene. It’s like he Never though he was Gonna play Batman.
The guy's name is bateman
Don't forget ace Ventura
Maybe that was the reason he could play batman so well. Joker makes a point in a lot of stories that batman is really just like him in a lot of ways
He's the villain that lived long enough to become the hero.
😁😂😂
1:10 Fun Fact; The little dance that Christian Bale does is completely improvised. It was so unexpected that he barely made it off camera before co-writer and director Mary Harron burst out laughing.
Dam I keep repeating his little dance.🤣
Eva Ciaro Doing a funny impromptu dance is “genius”? Lol you have the lowest standards I’ve ever seen for intelligence
blkdraco2 fun fact the blink he does with his eye at 2:10 is also improvised. Was not written in the script 100% Bale just being the great actor he is
That's why he got a kind of a laugh face in the next cut lol
@@stevejobs8820 most actors do things like that to make their character real....thats not 'great' its literally acting.
Do you like Ice Nine Kills? Their early work was a little bit too "scene" for me, but when _The Silver Scream_ came out, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a refined melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest. HEY PAUL!
“To hell with good intentions… to hell is where I’ll go. But the devil makes exceptions, for all American Psychos!”
Do you like Make Them Suffer? Their earlier work was a little too extreme deathcore in my personal opinion, but when Booka Nile and Alex Reade joined the band, I think they really came into their own. The subsequent songs with those two have more of a revamped metalcore foundation that delivers a major dose of melody and brutality that is perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Jared Leto’s Joker was so bad that even Batman broke his code just to kill him.
David NAVARRO RODRIGUEZ best comment yet lol
nice profile picture
No. American Psycho came out in 2000, while Suicide Squad with Jared Leto as Joker was released in 2016. Also, Patrick Bateman and Batman are different characters.
Yippo Pochepetriken are you joking? I hope you are
Yippo Pochepetriken batman is a time traveler
"Hey Murray, how about another joke?"
"Hey Paul, AHHHHH"
Paul: I'm think had enough of your joke
It's almost halloween, becareful out there' remember' , keep the almighty christ in mind all the time
@Ryan Fox what do u mean
@Ryan Fox u like the joker reference
After all this time, Batman finally lost it, finishing up Joker once and for all.
Christopher Nolan meets Zack Snyder, so batman kills the joker. What a twist! :D
And then he takes a smoke and relaxes on the couch like: "Man, finally I am done with this Joker and his shit."
Bateman. Batman.
Coincidence? I think not.
Agreed
Bateman... Bate-man... Bat-man... Batman...
Whoa
I like how bale sounds like a commenter in the news report or in a science fair before killing paul
I love the symbolism in this scene. The red on Bateman's face is supposed to symbolize his bloodlust. Genius.
Truly genius.
It's morbin time
Also it is framed so that it at first looks like his entire face is covered in blood. But then, he turns around, sits down, and we see that the left side of his face almost clean. The symbolism is (almost) too obvious.
I read that as “Batman”
The axe is also meant to represent his desire to murder Paul Allen with an axe
I love how during this murder its almost like Patrick is throwing a childish tantrum. Really shows all his insecurity that hides behind his mask
Absolutely. I think the best scenes in the movie are when that mask slips, either because or emotions or something goes wrong. He tries to play it cool and calm, but underneath he's a wreck. He's insecure and has issues.
Sounds like me .
Literally me
This whole scene was improvised. Nobody told Christian Bale to kill Jared Leto. That's some great acting!
i don't think anybody has to be told to kill jared leto
The Reliable Source didn’t do a good enough job
Leto went on to become the worse version of the joker (I mean robin acting as joker)
EVER
lol the sarcasm nobody getting ahaha
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
kaine bolts bruv it’s a joke
What’s amazing about this scene is that the axe represents the axe, and the red fluid emoting from Paul’s battered corpse represents blood.
He took the time to put newspaper on the floor, cover his furniture, and get a rain coat but didn't close the blinds???
Ding
Benjamin Rogers
Not from the streets.
He's in New York, there are other tall buildings.
Wouldn't the windows for an apartment building like that be tinted for privacy?
That's quite a xenomorph infestation The author and Director both stated that the only thing that was in his head was the last rampage he went on. Everything else was real.
ttv0 but then how was Paul Allen Alive at the end?
If Batman had to kill any Joker, he chose the right one.
👍
👍🏿
👍🏼
👍
👍🏽
1:02 obsessed with the slight frustration/yearning/desperation when he says “yes it is!”.. acting so subtle yet perfect
Just the way he delivers his lines is so convincing. His vocal infliction is amazing
My favorite part is the little dance he does
My favorite part is when Patrick Bateman swung his axe into Paul's chest. Yummy!
White frat boys are so obsessed and envious of this character. Cringe-worthy indeed when they are cowards at heart. Any fratboy trying to act like this guy should be labeled a LOSER
Pat B what???
The same comment as above, and he even likes his own comment. What a loser.
Batman Begins : Deleted scenes
Batman Begins - director’s cut
More like Bateman begins
American Psycho - the book - is a masterpiece. Batman is just some movie.
Taking out his anger at his parents’ death.
@@Standgedicht the movie is much better than the book. It’s actually a chore to get through and overly violent at points
This is one of the most violent murders I’ve ever seen in a movie, and there’s not really any gore. It’s all in the build up and the “execution” (sorry, pun alert) but the way he’s explaining the reasons he likes “fore!” And “hip to be square” because it’s got a layered cynical commentary in it while smiling and putting his raincoat on is purely psychotic. The screamed lines as he hits him with the axe is just another example of why Christian bale is one of the best actors of all time. Oh and the little twist he does when he says “hip to be square” just completely makes it.
I read this in Bateman's voice
Seriously people could learn a lot from this movie, it's not about the destination but the journey, my heart was beating out of my chest the whole time but we barely see a thing and we didn't need to, and the build up was just unreal
The film is really brilliant, even if I would complain that it falsifies the core message of the book. Bale is still a genius and a great Patrick Bateman.
@@JDelvaMusic looks like somebody missed the whole point of the comment!
I know this has probably been said a billion times here, but what makes Christian Bale's performance so memorable to me is how QUICKLY he goes from abject rage or terror or fear to just... Nothing. So many times in this movie his entire demeanor changes in a split second. That has to be one of the most challenging things for an actor to do.
I wonder what medication he took in this scene
christian bales acting is so good in this i’m starting to think it’s not acting
Forreal😭😂
No, that's just a quality of a very good actor
He once said in an interview that the character never bothered or disturbed him specifically because he was so shallow and superficial. I think he compared it to turning off the TV, when he would drop the character between takes.
Sometimes I forget this is even Bale
Now let's see Paul Allen's acting
Can’t believe Gorr the God-Butcher killed Morbius before he could Morb-out.
That means Morbius is a god.
This is mearly a "fake" avatar, the real Morbius was planning to take over the entire omniverse's Cinema's
He didn’t morb in time
we also didn't anticipated this scene would come out
Morbin time will live on in our hearts forever. RIP marvel legend
For me the scariest part of this scene is after he kills Allen and takes off the raincoat, sits down, adjusts his hair and smokes his cigar. There’s none of the anger, but also none of the fake friendliness and charm he was projecting earlier throughout the scene. There’s literally nothing, he goes completely blank. He simply is not there.
Yes because it never actually happened.
bleets cube yes it did happen, director talked abt this; the murdering spree after is a fantasy, but this is real
The look on his face is very eerie. He accomplished his task and looks totally satisfied with himself.
It's pure evil - Dr. Loomis
Say what y'all want about bale, but he is a hell of an actor. This movie is his best performance, in my opinion
How the fuck is this movie a 7.6 on imdb? Look at Bale's acting, holy shit
I agree with you, it's pretty underrated.
I love how Christian Bale disguised his British accent and just acted American.
I'm not a big movie critic, but one actor's good performance isn't enough to give a huge rating. That, and it's imdb.
Golden Goodra IMDB and meta ratings aren't representative of the truth at all. ):
WAINBOES actaully meta is far more reliable then rt
This is almost like being killed by Anthony Fantano.
paul allen gave huey lewis & the news a light to medium 5
Some fan theories say American psycho is a yuppies beautiful dark twisted fantasy
I hate how accurate this is
@@randomhero1797 I'd consider it a more of a strong 6
I don't think Fantano is capable of lifting an axe.
This is the moment the Walter White became Heisenberg
i expected to see comments about how smooth he moved at 1:10
but instead i found people talking about batman
i'm disappointed.
Did u notice how smooth he moved at 1:10 😉
At 1:10, did you guys notice how smooth he moved
thnx guys, it's nice to see other people noticing how smoth he moved at 1:10
His little dance always makes me laugh XD
+wadis b.abdesselem ahh funny man
This is how Christian Bale felt towards Jared Leto’s Joker role.
Or is it how Bale felt towards Leto's Paul Allen role? E.g. 1:01 feels so genuine. Even Leto seems like he's not acting for a moment afterwards.
*American Psycho vs. Borat* Who's playing better? Christian Bale or Sacha Cohen?
What...no you guys can be serious
This is Bruce killing Jack Naiper in the white knight comics
16 years prior.
He was such an terrible Joker that Batman had to break his one rule out of embarrassment.
Patrick Bateman playing music loudly May signify he’s doing something that needs covering up with a loud sound. Truly marvelous directing
"Bateman, your the American Psycho?!"
He didn't say that.
@@Shaulter you didn't get the joke
@@sabranfauzan2158 no..you don't get it
“Aaa the American psycho nooooo”
@@sabranfauzan2158 you didnt get it haha
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.
Hey Paul!
@@Jun-Kyard AAAAGGGHHHH
(Axe hits Paul).
Ice Nine Kills- Hip to be scared
I'll memorize this
1:00 to 1:16
I think Cristian Bale used Jim Carrey as a reference for this scene. The voice and movements are very in line with him
He also sounds like him when he asks if he likes Huey Lewis and the news lol
all i see is check 'em
I thought I was the only one who saw the resemblance 😹
@@dharnikudal2314 I remember watching this movie for the first time, and I wasn't paying attention to the screen cause I was making popcorn, and I rushed back into the living room to see if it was him carrey I was hearing lol
Jim*
The fact that Paul's corpse is shown is a subtle hint that he was killed
What if a witch enchanted him with the curse of falling asleep anytime "Hip to be square" by Huey Lewis And the News, is played?
I love how he responds so enthusiastically when asked if what he's wearing is a raincoat.
"Yes it isss~!"
Did Batman just out-crazy the Joker?
Yup.
what0080 fuck yay he did Christian bale should be the joker next time
Not exactly.
what0080 batman did say no guns...XD
The joker cuts Alfred's hand off with an axe too, so not exactly
Patrick Bateman: goes on a killing spree and does a funny face
Internet: “OMG YOUR SO SIGMA”
(No hate to American psycho its a great movie)
His whole speech about Huey Lewis and the News sounds like something he's memorized; like something he heard somebody else say rather than something he actually understands.
Even better, it's completely nonsensical. Huey Lewis having a the bitter sense of humour compared to Costello? What?
Rote answer
The book makes it clear that Bateman reads reviews of albums, learns them by heart, and forewards their words as if he was an expert of the subject. So yes, those are somebody else's words.
@@laszlobencebari8677 - Exactly right. Those are not his thoughts -- he just read them somewhere and thought it sounded hip.
