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.

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.
I love how he gets cheerier and wackier as he gets closer to killing him
Only time he feels like himself
@@shnpio he doesn’t feel anything
@@joshlangstaff4834 nah when he’s killing you can tell he enjoys it
Idk why but it feels a lot like some sort of comedy scene because of that.
@@captainspino9021 its a dark comedy film
I Just love Bale's delivery of "No, Allen" and "Yes, It is!"
The "yes, it is!" Sends me every time 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
He sounds like a news reporter when he said that lmao
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this loll
It's perfect 🤣
Lol it sounds like he's trying to impersonate Jim Carrey
Incredible acting. At around 1:35 you can actually hear Patrick say the F word. Another subtle hint indicating he might not like Paul
1:34
brilliant!
Why you copying comments? Attention starved clown.
He loves Paul Allen.
Why are you stealing the top comment? Attention starved kid. Your username suits you well.
The dance Christian Bale does after turning on the stereo is hilarious lol
Alaskan Tundra Wolf I know lol I love it I keep replaying it thank goodness for the gif of the dance!
Alaskan Tundra Wolf That’s my favorite part
YES IT IS!
I dance exactly like that
It's like Rohan dance
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.
"A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics"
Always hits straight to home.
Is it the delivery or the dance?
@@legodemonrockstar I think because there's truth in that statement people didn't know how pervey "all about that bass" was
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey Or how Stalkerish half the pop songs in the 80s were.
Pumped up kicks be like
@Craig Ward You clearly haven’t watched the whole movie or haven’t gotten the message.
I love when Patrick says to Paul: "I was the American Psycho all along!" right before splitting his head open with an axe
Drunk Paul: Wtf are you talking about Marcus
Then he americaned and psychoed all over the place. Truly a masterpiece.
Truly one of the movie moments ever
And then Walt enters the room and says to Patrick “so you’ve also been Breaking Bad” that was also great dialogue
At the end when he tells Irene "Its America Psychoing time" is the moment of this movie, i really it!
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?
This scene is - by far - still the funniest, yet most unnerving murder scene that wasn’t passed off as cringey or gimmicky in film history. Bale is a fantastic actor
@Joe Mama And there isn't "Hip to be Square" :(
I like your style woman!
before watching the movie and heard this dialogue i laughed. After i watched the movie i laughed far more. Love this scene.
So true. I was in absolute awe of Mary Harron for pulling such a dark and funny yet sinister and psychological atmosphere off. This movie switches genres so well
I agree, it´s one of the most funniest yet horrendous murderous scene i ever watched.
You know he's really insane when he gets Paul's attention at the last second so he can spend his last moments in fear
In the novel it’s even worse. He cuts his head in half and then there’s a line saying it took 5 minutes for him to finally die and another 30 to stop bleeding.
@@antonchigurh4305.... Holy crap 😳
@@antonchigurh4305 which is way more accurate than dying after one hit
@@antonchigurh4305 and that's tame compared to most other kills in the book
The book is so much worse... I read it in highschool before the movie's release. The book's content resulted in my avoidance of the movie for a looooong time even though gore, violence, etc. had little impact on me in those days. I loved reading disturbing horror (still do, especially Junji Ito) and could handle blood, guts, and violence in film or television (now it depends on context). Yet despite my strong stomach this book made me feel *deeply* uncomfortable. The torture/death scenes were *beyond* disturbing and I _did not_ want to see them onscreen.
Eventually I realized certain parts of the book couldn't be in a movie with an "R" rating, even considering America's comfort with gratuitous violence (no offense intended: I'm 'Merican myself).
When I watched the movie I found it to be surprisingly hilarious! The onscreen violence and disturbing moments were nothin' compared to countless passages in the book (the sewer rat scene, the chainsaw torture while the woman stays conscious, cannibalism, the car battery hooked up to Christine, necrophilia... there's a lot more but I'll stop here).
Bale was *amazing* in the film: menacing and funny at the same time, and also able to switch between the two in an instant. I'm glad his role wasn't written _or_ performed so he'd simply be a live version of the book's Bateman.
Edited because: i duz spelin an Grammer realy reely gud.! 🙃
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
Dude casually moonwalks his way to murder.
If you're going to kill someone, you might as well do it with style.

And that 8:30 res at Dorsia. Great sea urchin ceviche.
I love the small dance Bateman does right before he kills Allen.
😂
It shows his excitement in taking his rival's life.
that was improvised by bale. makes it even better.
I read that as Batman lol but either way it wouldn't have been wrong
@@fidelgarcia2224 true
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.
back in those days we called it the art of filming Harvey DENT likes your KOMMENT
“Patrick, it’s you! You’re the American Psycho!”
Best line in the film
He didn't say that.
"Murphy, it's you"
“What are we? Some kinda...American Psycho?”
What is this a play on??
when？
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"- ....
imagine dying and the last thing you ever hear is that song
Cheese Yourself At least it’s a good song, could be worse
Feasty: hip to be square, most people don’t listen to the lyrics... but they should!
Enigma 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!

"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

Everything about Bale's performance is so precise, calculated, and reeks of artifice yet it's always believable. Ugh, so good.
Plot twist he's actually a serial killer he's just been acting like he's an actor
It’s funny because his co-stars (back when it was filmed and released) said he was the worst actor in the movie and that his acting was atrocious. They ate their words and even one of the actors told Bale they all thought he was bad and they apologized because Bale ended up becoming an incredible actor.
@@lionmountain804 his performance was astonishing. That's the problem with critics, they have an opinion which they're entitled to. However if you start believing their opinions you could truly hurt yourself.
he is the best method actor of our time
@@lionmountain804 Guess you didn't see him as a kid in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V (1989).
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

@@captaincolt1611 Woah... I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
@@captaincolt1611 you know what is a fact? This is a goddamn joke
I like how he slowly expresses more and more emotion until he kills him.
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.

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.

@@fa14fighterjet breaking bateman
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've always loved how the blood only covers one half of his face. He even turns around so that we literally see the two sides of him: the civilised veneer, and the violent rage.
Oh.... we have a smart one here.

He was to drunk to tell
You like David Bowie? His early work was a little too psychedelic for my taste, but when Hunky Dory came out in '71, I think he really came into the mainstream, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a huge kaleidoscopic array of pop styles, and a more intelligent approach to songwriting that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Freddie Mercury and Gary Numan, but I think Bowie had a far more flamboyant , androgynous sense of style. In '72, Bowie released this, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spider From Mars, his most critically acclaimed album. I think his undisputed masterpieces are "Suffragette city" and "Starman." The songs are so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because they're not just about Bowie's alien alter ego, they're also iconic signature tunes in the world of glam rock!

it was just in movie dude
1:16
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.
1:10 his wiggle is too human!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found this scene funny as hell. The way he prances with an axe to his hip, his whole chaotic energy, screaming at him about Dorsia as he's chopping him up. I was feeling bad for Paul when I realized he was gonna die but then I couldn't stop laughing at his actual death
Dorsia was the reall bad guy in this movie hahaha
It's even funnier when you find out that Jared Leto wasn't even given a script for this scene, so he had no idea as to what was going on.
Yeah he actually dies in this scene. Totally amazing improv
Bad things happening to Jared Leto, real or not, will always be funny.
Im morbin out
No paul youre not.
In this scene, Christian Bale asked Jared Leto if he can really slash him with an axe to make it seem more real.
they're into method acting, so Leto let Bale hit him with a real axe.

aziz huseyin way ahead of you bro
Bale's maturity & brilliance in this role are not that surprising if you know a little bit about Bale's life. Christian had very unusual parents and upbringing, his family has seen quite a few things. This means that the child has contact with various, exciting people and different environments from the beginning, and can analyze the entire spectrum of human behaviors.
His grandfather was an RAF pilot, and his father, who was born in South Africa, for a time a commercial pilot, then he had his own businesses, then he was also an activist in various fields. The whole family moved around the world and had a nomadic lifestyle. Christian's mother was a circus dancer and clown. Christian grew up in a circus.
Bale almost NEVER talks about it, but he did maybe 2-3 times, including a few years ago, at the time of the Vice movie premiere, on the HappySadConfused movie podcast, and it was fascinating to listen to him talk about his life in a circus!! In a circus you have contact with acting all the time, it's all about performance, and you live with interesting people who know life. Acting appears to be Bale's destiny. He simply changed one circus for another, one stage for a larger and more spectacular one - the world of film and Hollywood!!
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
Patrick Bateman reacts in the only understandable way one would after being around Jared Leto for more than five minutes
Nice one
Why? What’s wrong with Jared?
@@cybergulag2 yeah I also don't understand why so many ppl hate Jared Leto lmao
@@mikeyylol0 welp. I actually didn't find his joker that bad. Yes he was quite cringey but not like unbearable to watch. I think it wasn't solely his fault that his joker flopped, the film crew is also at fault pretty much
@@cybergulag2 he was known to be a horror to be around for the other actors of Suicide Squad
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 😅
And as he is starting to vaguely project why he feels unhappy, he kills the person that is essentially captive by drunkenness.
Fun fact: According to the director Jared Leto’s reaction to seeing Christian Bale with an axe was actually genuine because he didn’t actually know Bale was gonna run up to him holding it
I hope that’s true, because it was such a great reaction haha
*"Is that a rain coat?"*
*"YES IT IS! :D"*
Maybe it isn't 😱
Fun little fact. Bale was so much in to this role that he actually murdered those people for authenticity. The director liked it so much that she left it in the movie. It's all about the realism. The things those actors do!
American psycho was directed by a women
@ch3rr No no! Go look it up. Bale really killed people for this role.
@ch3rr How old are you? LeL
@ch3rr Ah, make sense!
this joke was so funny it was said around 30 times in this comment section
Fun fact: this scene was actually meant to end with the 2 friends going out in the rain to chop firewood, but Bale hated the comment Leto made about the chow so much he just decided to improvise and kill Leto without warning. It was eventually written into the story and the movie was renamed from ‘American Business Man’ to ‘American Psycho’. The more you know!
Thank God!
But the movie is based, I thought, on Bret Easton Ellis's book named American Psycho, so what's the big deal about them naming the movie after the book?

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.
That was actually completely accidental, they had very limited shots for the blood spray scene and it happened to just cover one half of his face

Have you not seen/read Dark Knight Returns lol
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
You kidding? He’s obviously getting off on it.
@@RonWolfHowl I was saying in the book
@@kristiankepley5944 Oh interesting. I got a different feel from the movie. Maybe I’ll give the book a try as well! :P
Patrick Bateman playing music loudly May signify he’s doing something that needs covering up with a loud sound. Truly marvelous directing
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
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
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.
😅😅
I’m ctfu! Right! He Dgaf! 🥴😂😂😂
I like how bale sounds like a commenter in the news report or in a science fair before killing paul
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
Even with the wacky music and the brutal murder, the one thing i cant get off my mind is the perfectly chrome polished axe. Another subtle detail about patrick being a psychopath wanting everything to be perfect
its probably not intentional, fake axes just look like that
@@SamuelChac0n everything in movies as highly-level directed as this have meaning. There’s an old quote from a Russian theatre director: “if there is a gun hanging on the wall of chapter 2, it must be used by the end of the play”.
People like urself would use a weird looking axe bcoz u have no talent or taste, but in movies like this there is distinct purpose for literally every single thing.
I’d say in this case the OP is right but it’s always up for debate lol
@@DonRoyalX Yes Chekhov’s gun is well known. If you over analyze everything you can find meaning in everything. Since you like “old quotes” I’m going to apply Occam’s razor here and say the axe is just an axe.
But yes, we’ll never know for sure unless the director says it himself.
@@SamuelChac0n oh so u know :) indeed it’s well known, for a reason. The close up camera shot of that axe and it’s OBVIOUSLY peculiar look would, and should, indicate that it’s completely on purpose. The people who wrote and directed this movie were not idiots who would put in such an obvious “prop” for professional critics to tear apart.
Occam’s razor has sadly been used by people like u to downplay and simplify extraordinary things. Even things as extraordinarily simple as this example
@@SamuelChac0n I can imagine urself directing a movie and putting an obviously plastic g-word in the hands of a bank robber. But that’s u, not people who have dedicated their entire lives to creating feature films. Anyway, adios :)
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
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.
Jared Letos face of shock is real. They started filming without telling him and he didnt know that that was going to happen

This scene is proof that even Christian Bale could play the Joker better than Leto
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. Most fratboys have the opposite psychological profile of this character.
You like Prince? His early work was a little too R&B for my taste, but when 1999 came out in '82, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a fusion of electronic funk-rock,and a strong theme of motivation, that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to both Michael Jackson and Madonna, but I think Prince had a more eclectic,ambitious, and whimsical sense and display of raw talent. In '84, Prince released this,Purple Rain, his definitive magnum opus album. I think one of his undisputed masterpieces is "Baby I'm a Star", a song so catchy and so joyous, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about self-empowerment and being rich on personality, it's also a clear statement of Prince being a truly confident and independent artist!
Sounds like you're jealous...
John Smithee leto was the worst joker
John Smithee yup
This is the moment Patrick Bateman became The American Psychoberg
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.

Not exactly, it would describe it. "I might think I'm crazy, but you don't even care"
@@lovelyyolk9066 Exactly, it's the other way around.
In the book Bateman sometimes straight up mentions to his colleges that he murdered people, but they're so self absorbed that they don't even register what he's saying. Really the only thing his fellow yuppies register during conversations are restaurants, attractive women, physiques, new appliances, apartments and business related stuff.
@@nikolakaravida9670 , okay, but Bateman doesn’t even care if he’s crazy as well.

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".
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
