A lot of people fall into the trap of being overly literal in their analysis of American Psycho and fixating on the "did he really do the murders or not?" question, and that completely misses the point of the film. A movie like this demands engagement with themes and the metaphorical. Whether Bateman really killed all those people, imagined the murders, or it was some combination of reality and fantasy by an unreliable narrator is secondary to the point of being meaningless. The point that the film is driving at is everyone around him in this hedonistic, capitalist, Wall Street shithole is more or less just like him. With rare exceptions, they're all fail sons and fail daughters awash in greed, excess, fake jobs and basically doing nothing but going to useless meetings and eating at overpriced restaurants. None of these people DO anything of note or meaning, but by circumstance of birth, they exist in the lap of luxury. Patrick Bateman and Paul Allen keep getting mistaken for other people because they're all empty vessels who mean nothing to each other. Even those who aren't psychopathic killers like Patrick are oblivious or indifferent to his murders because they're focused on the mundane, shallow, spiritually dead pursuits that make up modern consumer culture. This is the core of being an "American Psycho" and it can be argued that label applies to most of the characters we meet. There is no punishment or catharsis for Bateman (he will never be caught) because the society in which he lives is built upon letting wealthy psychopaths get away with their crimes. He is trapped in a cycle of insecurity, misanthropy, violence and self-loathing.
I agree with the analysis but it does make a difference when we 're talking about Bateman's character and his tragedy. If he didnt kill anyone and it was just fantasy then as he said he gains no knowledge, he means nothing because he cannot even act upon his desires in the world that hes trapped in. Now obvsly im not saying sb with criminal thoughts should act and the movie doesnt promote that, but it is sad to see how trapped one can be in their own world so much that at the end of all of these fantasies and actions we see throughout the movie, he simply says that this confesion meant nothing, and it seems he will continue to repeat this cycle , all in his head.
Why does this sound exactly like something Patrick Bateman would say 😭
Christian Bale was desperate to do the film as he thought it was so hilarious - 😂 - love ❤️ your reactions
It’s OK to laugh it’s a black comedy. The ending is left ambiguous for you to decide if it was real or if he made it all up in his head.
This movie was hilarious.
Fun fact: Christian Bale based his interpretation of the character on Tom Cruise after seeing an interview of him on a talk show and thinking he was "intensely friendly with nothing behind the eyes" lol
It's a mix of Tom Cruise and 90s Donald Trump. Bateman, especially in the book, is obsessed with Trump and makes multiple references to Trump in the movie. He wears the same hairstyle, trenchcoat and red tie, NY high rise business man, etc.
Bale kinda freaked out his costars a bit because apparently he can, like, sweat on command. Like in the business card scene or the lunch with the detective. I dont think Ive ever heard of anyone who can sweat on command before
Finally, someone who found the glove washing as funny as I did.
Congratulations on being the first reactor who commented on the homeless man being stabbed to death, but did not mention his dog getting stamped to death. Most reactors seemed more concerned with the dog being killed, than the homeless man.
It really is disgusting how people have more Empathy for Animals than Human Beings.
That’s usually because people can be horrible to one another & animals are completely innocent. Most people think about how the person did nothing wrong in the moment & that’s horrible, but an animal does nothing but love unconditionally, so people feel more for animals than humans most of the time.
It’s no excuse, & completely disgusting of course, but that’s how a lot of people think.
@@mistyxmarlboro It certainly seems to be the case in the real world, that most serial killers start out by torturing/killing/dismembering animals, before moving up to humans.
When you said you're not sure if he's being serious after he was talking about world hunger etc., it's not so much that he's serious or unserious, it's that he's just repeating things he's heard because he doesn't care enough to have his own opinions on anything.
My favorite reactor is back! About time lol
lol I needed a lil breaky break! But I’m back in it and in editing mode 😂
The movie is def supposed to be funny.
This has to be the greatest black comedy movie ever made, how it didnt get any oscars is beyond me.
The key to understanding the ending is Patrick's final thought, 'This confession has meant nothing.' There's no point in his confessing if everyone is guilty, if everyone is as psychotic as him. Throughout the movie, we see people cover him for no other reason than it benefits them. He left a bloody trail in his apartment's lobby to be cleaned up by the staff. His friends say he was having dinner with when Paul disappeared, likely too superficial to have remembered. The woman showing Paul's apartment knows Patrick isn't there to view the apartment. She knows what he did there because she cleaned it up, as you can't sell an apartment for full price when dozens of murders took place there. His lawyer is lying about having dinner with Paul in London because it makes him look important. Even as he realizes Patrick is insane, he continues to keep the lie up for the sake of his image. And that's when Patrick realizes his confession means nothing. At the beginning of the film, he admits he's just a façade of a human being, that there's no real depth. By the end of the film he's realized he lives in a world surrounded by people so superficial they'll abet murder. Everyone would rather look good and profit than stop him. Everyone is a psycho, Patrick's just more honest about it.
I've watched all of the American Psycho reactions, yours was by far my favorite.
This is not a Red Flag. It's a Death Sentence🤣🤣🤣
I think the ending is kinda ambiguous. Patrick is an unreliable narrorator, alot of what happens to him are his own delusions. But he's definitely a psychopathic murderer. And i think his coworkers mistake patrick for other people because they're all so similar. I think his lawer just thought he had dinner with Paul Allen in paris because he was never corrected and they all look the same
Christian Bale is one of the GOATS! I watched “The machinist” last year and I gave it a 10/10 highly recommended it!
Just found your channel today and watched a couple of your reactions. You seem lovely and I was thoroughly entertained - subscribed for more.
Welcome aboard ✨
Loved your reaction to the movie!
My fun theory is that everything actually happened but everyone is just like Bateman, everyone is covering for each other's misbehaviors because they are all hiding intense things, and everyone is mistaking everyone for someone else because yuppie culture made everyone fit the same description.
The London thing is they are all yuppies, meaning no one knows who each other are. The entire movie is a social commentary on yuppie culture being toxic, and is a black comedy.
5:40 He looks SO MUCH like Zac Efron lmfao!
TH-cam American psycho william Defoe. You'll see they filmed 3 versions of him. 1. Oblivious 2. Suspicious 3. He knew. They used all 3 in the movie, that's why his look and attitude changed line by line
At 10:44, if no one elsr has said it yet, I'll say it. "The Green Goblin" is questioning Batman about the disappearance of rhe Joker !!! ROFLMAO
heheh should check out the huey louis and weird al skit of that scene with the axe :D
Personally I've always thought that maybe its that he's able to get away with it because all these guys look alike and people are more interested in preserving the value of the apartment property than reporting people missing or dead. So because he lives in this corrupt greedy world he's able to scoot on by
This movie amazing. Kinda crazy and real gory and explicit in some scenes but overall very good with amazing acting. Christian bales acting as Patrick Bateman is some of the best acting I’ve ever seen he played the role so goood!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My playlist is vast but right now I'm obsessed with Metallica
SO...
everybody is a narcissist, nobody knows who anybody is. That's why Paul Allen's dinner with Bateman was scheduled as being with Halberstram. The lawyer didn't recognize Bateman even though he was TELLING him he was Bateman; the man the lawyer saw was clearly not Paul Allen, he just *thought* he was.
The movie is based on a book, the book was a satire. (So yes, it's *very* funny. "I have to go return some video tapes.") It's satirizing the rich in a general sense, the whole yuppie, Wall Street narcissistic parasitic culture specifically. They're never shown working because they don't work (they're leeches), they don't know who anybody is because they don't care, they're obsessed with the pecking order (hence the business card scene where they all look the same but Bateman is losing his mind because Paul Allen's card was "better").
Paul Allen's apartment was cleaned up because the realtor had 2 choices:
1 - report the murders to the police and lose income as the police investigate and nobody could move in
or
2 - clean up quickly and get the apartment back on the market, profit
And OF COURSE she chose (2). Because the movie is satirizing how Wall Street [culture] values profit over human life.
Oh you just cleared up some things I never got despite having watched this several times over the years. Thank you!
the 1980s fear of AIDS is what stops him from killing luis in the bathroom
"But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."
Fun Fact: During production, Christian Bale followed the morning routine that his character Patrick Bateman describes toward the beginning of the film.
Location Location Fact: The scene in which Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) yells at the Asian woman at the laundromat was filmed at a small cleaners on Jarvis street in Toronto, Ontario. Much of the building scenes (his escape near the finale for example) were filmed in the financial district downtown.
Distinguish Competition Fact: This film stars both Christian Bale and Jared Leto who each end up portraying DC characters. Bale would later go on to star as Bruce Wayne/Batman in The Dark Knight Trilogy and Leto would later appear as The Joker in Suicide Squad (2016). Interestingly, Batman has a no killing policy while the Joker kills with no remorse, yet fans humorously point out how in this film, Batman kills the Joker.
Music Enthusiast Fact: In 2013, Funny Or Die recreated the Hip To Be Square (1986) scene with Huey Lewis and 'Weird Al' Yankovic. Huey Lewis himself played the Patrick Bateman role and 'Weird Al' Yankovic was the Paul Allen role. In the scene, Lewis discusses the film, its controversial reception, Christian Bale's acting, and its effect on Bale's performance as Batman. Rather than listening to a song, Lewis pops in the American Psycho (2000) DVD, and at one point he points to the television while discussing Bale as Bale is shown pointing at the stereo discussing Lewis. It ends with Lewis killing Yankovic while the song I Want A New Duck (1985), a parody of the Huey Lewis And The News song I Want A New Drug (1984), plays.
It's 100% a satire first and foremost. You are supposed to laugh.
The novel is extremely violent. The movie is actually very soft compared to the book
This movie is a dark comedy, I showed it to a few of my friends and they dislike it and think it’s just terrible and over the top, that’s the point, this movie is hilarious
This women has one beautiful face and voice haha nice reaction also ! 😚
This movie is hilarious
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Idk what those monologues are about but I love them lol. My fav though is how he’s bold enough to be murdering in public, but the gay guy kisses his hand and he runs away terrified 😂
so typical of the misogynistic "alpha male" archetype. this movie is incredible
gays 🤮🤮🤮
7:25
That Dexter comparison.
BTW, in Dexter, he has an alias with the name Patrick Bateman, M.D.
Haha! Finally, I called something right !
6:58 That's okay, darling
I'm Soo happy ur watching the classic 😉
Great reaction to this great film. 👍🏿
Yes is jered leto
🎬 Yeah, it's a bit confusing, but the fact is that Paul Allen died on 15 of October 2018 in Seattle... 😉
My go to music is J Cole
Film shows Patrick's perspective. But Patrick is a psycho, so its hard to understand what was real and what was not. In the ending he literally saying - that he cant understand what happening.
Also for some dopefiend beats NPC-Scru Face Jean. Sick beat and bars on bars
Are you sure? I can always get you a lime. We all need a lime guy
its Will-em
24:20 Where is Olivia Benson? srsly made me lol
I like industrial music
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called THE BIG YEAR.
React to StarWars prequel trilogy!! :)
Can you please react to the horror thriller Stigmata Starring Patricia Arquette Oscar winner Please
He never killed Paul. At the end of the movie he admits to eating a prostitute’s brain and says “I tried to cook a little” key word is tried. Eating uncooked human brain can lead to hallucinations. He probably has killed a couple people but never killed anyone after killing the first girl. Which, to be honest, makes him even more of a psycho. Plus, the one girl sees his drawings of what we saw in the movie, implying that he wrote down his fantasies, but he never actually did them “But hey that’s just a theory, a film theory”!!!
disagree. the guy who said he saw paul had just gotten through mistaking patrick for someone else. he doesn't recognize anyone cuz all the men look the same. he didn't see paul alive.
Yeah he did. Everybody is a narcissist, nobody knows who anybody else is. The person the lawyer saw wasn't Paul, obviously... he didn't even know who Patrick Bateman was when he was staring him in the face, confessing to the crime.
You should definitely watch Society of the snow, it’s the same director as the one that made the Impossible, it’s based on a true story, and it was recently Oscar nominated. Best movie I’ve seen!
the best reaction you and your friend please we want house of dragon because it is the best 3 episodes and it will make you more excited for the upcoming seasons🤍
We just finished recording it, I’m editing it as we speak. Should have it out this week
there is an american psycho 2, it's way better than this one
"America Psycho 2: Girl Psycho"??? Um... no it isn't. It's not even really a sequel in any meaningful way.
