I think Patrick was actually desperately grasping at something real but was quickly faced with his grotesque inner personality that was attempting to overpower the whole situation. Such a brilliant study in extreme inner conflict and self torture. Such a great movie.
@@b71488 yeah. the fact that she even remotely admired and adored him was enough to throw the whole thing out of wack. one of the more interesting scenes in the whole movie. it shows that somewhere deep down, there's some degree of humanity that's still trying to be heard. like a tiny echo of a voice of reason, lost in a cavern of insanity.
It’s little moments like this I wish were in the book itself. In the book the set up is the same but with Patrick going on an unhinged rant to Jean about Huey Lewis and the News than a personal moment between the two. Of the 4 main female characters in the book - Courtney was an out of control mess not even Patrick wanted to deal with, Evelyn was untouchable, Christie was doomed and Jean was set up to be the tragic figure but with the books cruel punchline that Jean tragedy was not to be Patrick’s victim but no mater what she did in life she would always be simply mediocre in a world of wealth and success that surrounded her. This 5 minutes in the movie summed up brilliantly what took at least 2 - 3 chapters in the book to establish and gave her grace without the snickering behind her back way the book handled her.
@ The movie fine tunes a lot the satire so its…lighter(?) than the novel which can be a grueling, physically and emotionally exhausting experience at times. Also, the gore and violence in the movie is played for laughs, not so much in the book. For instance (graphic spoiler) the death of Christie in the movie has Patrick comedically drop a chainsaw down a stairwell as she tries to escape. The book she meets her end that starts with her tied spread eagle to a bed and the use of a tube, a piece of cheese and a rat Patrick had starved for days, after that it’s page after page that explicit and graphically details how to dismantle and dismember a human body. And that’s not even the worst scene in the book. So unless you’ve read or used to extreme horror, bring a strong stomach because there is a very valid reason why the book is so notorious.
@@skatepork It's the only book I ever had to put down once in a while. Reading it for more than an hour at a time really put me into a weird mental space, especially in the second half of the book. Did you also have that experience?
@@grobbert oh yeah. I flew through the book until I reached about the middle (second half) and found myself disassociating. It just became a book about how to tear people into pieces and as a person who loves extreme horror it even became too much for me. Then the last half of the book swung the curve that thing may not be what they seem to be, it pulled me right back in and became invested back into the story because now you’re like… “wait a second” and are not sure if you are in the mind of a serial killer or reading the fantasies man who is simply losing his mind. That’s what saved the book IMO
Lmao. Yea, this comment isn't what you thought it would be, or didn't sound the way you wanted. Mostly because 3 seconds before he is quoted as saying "Would you LIKE to accompany me to dinner?" Can't make this shit up😂
I haven't watched in a while, but Jean (and even Louis) are spared because they go out of their way to compliment his taste and style. People who refuse to stroke his ego are killed. Even the prostitutes insult him about his apartment not being as nice as Paul Allen's.
That nail gun would not work; it needs a compressor and a hose connection to the compressor. Besides that, he needs to press that tool against the head of the girl to be able to pull the trigger; otherwise the safety mechanism would not allow him to "fire" a nail.
I always used to think i wanted a beautiful, timid, naive woman like this when i was younger. Until i finally dated one. But she was so sensitive and so gentle that i found it annoying. She was waaay too pure for me so i ended up breaking up with her almost out of respect. Sometimes the reality of what we think we want isn't as great as the fantasy.

The way he asks questions while looking for the right weapon and right reasons
As she says, "so many possibilities"

you have a woman's head next to your ice cream yummy🤣🤣
For all of his evil deeds, I’m so glad he spared her, she was too cute and innocent 😇 to die brutally
I think he spared her because she was the first person to actually listen to him and really care about him.
@@b71488 yeah. the fact that she even remotely admired and adored him was enough to throw the whole thing out of wack. one of the more interesting scenes in the whole movie. it shows that somewhere deep down, there's some degree of humanity that's still trying to be heard. like a tiny echo of a voice of reason, lost in a cavern of insanity.
@@b71488 Truth!
It was in his head. He didn’t kill anybody.
Do you have proof?
Patrick …. “Anywhere you wanna go , just say it & I can get us in , anywhere”
Jean …. “Pizza express , Woking”
Genius. 😂😂😂😂
That was actually Evelyn, who saved her.
the head in the freezer 😭
Notice how he sits on the black couch, and she sits on the white one. Great symbolism.
Geezus 🤦🏽♂️
@@ededdandeddytv5164 Maybe, but notice that the backgrounds and clothes are also white and black.
My underwear is both white and black. Now what? Got a theory? Wanna use your film studies to use ?
She is so beautiful inside and out.
Well minus the fact she has no self respect. Going after someone that she would never be happy with only because she is that shallow.
@@NobodyQuiteLikeMeI dunno, I always found she has kind of that vacant cat lady look. To each his own, though.
She is naive that doesn't make her beautiful inside
@@condorsouthernlands4730- Lol, "vacant car lady look." No, that's the look of someone who isn't looking outward, searching for validation.

i still gotta read it. one of my favorite movies of all time.

Love the shoulder padded jacket.
The nerve she had to suggest Dorsia.
I know rite?
um... he's a serial killer... the nerve of him to serial kill.
It’s a fake restaurant 😂
The first time I saw this I was like “see he’s not a bad guy!”
Why is Batman goin around killin ppl now
How stupid are you?
hahahahhaha
Batman. Bateman. Coincidence? I think not.
He repented his previous sins, removed the e from his surname and tried to make amends by fighting crime.🤣
He was Patrick before he was Bruce..
What a scene. I've never seen this movie, but only snippets here on YT. Wild.
Definitely worth the watch. Apparently the book is better. Like always lol
The double meaning in his words shows a deeply disturbed soul filled with wanting and corruption, but seldom knowing what he needs.
She looks stoned in real life here.
"Who's Ted Bundy?"?! Really? Wow!
I cant believe Patrick was the Bay Harbour Butcher
He framed dexter lol
"Got my eye on you mothafucka..." -- Dokes
In this case, Paul Allen has to be Ice Truck Killer
"If you're not doing anything". He should have said, "If you'd like". He basically didn't give her a choice.
Lmao. Yea, this comment isn't what you thought it would be, or didn't sound the way you wanted.

Can't make this shit up😂
just remember hes deluded in his own head, its how he wants to behave, none of it happend, hes a gutless weed in the real world
1:28 so , you’ve chosen death ?
"And though it has been in no way a romantic evening, she embraces me and this time emanates a warmth I'm not familiar with."

What about the model
Has ocd but ok with splatter mess.
Where is the air compressor?
Chloe seivgny was great in this
Specifically what comment offended youtube??? Buybuy
Never forget Gonzalo Lira.
Understand what's going on.
