I love how they filmed Defoe playing his part in different ways, then meshed them together so you aren't sure of his thoughts on Bateman.
I totally read that as Batman, not Bateman
Really?! That is genius!!
@@jordanodwyer6552 Yes, Dafoe played one take where he suspected Bateman, one where doesn't consider him at all, and one where he's not sure. It's genius.
Where else can you see Batman chop up Joker with axe then get interrogated by the Green Goblin.
Nice.
You guys missed one little controversy that seems to be all but forgotten. I worked as security on American Psycho from pre production until the wrap party. during pre-production the parents or Paul Bernardo's were very upset that it was being filmed in Toronto (rumor was Bernardo had a copy of the book on his nightstand) as a result we were told under no circumstances were we to tell anyone who asked us while on location what production it was.....so the security team would answer people with either it's Degrassi the next generation (years before that was actually a thing) it that it was an unnamed sequel CBC production of the beachcombers.
couple of fun facts
the first restaurant scene was filmed beside a theater....Reece Witherspoon's trailer was parked in front of it....the movie playing? Cruel Intentions and Ryan Phillippe was on set the entire time she was in the trailer with there new born baby.
Josh Lucas , who's biggest credit at that point was as "Flash" in Wing commander 3 signed his first official autograph on set...for my then 12 year old brother in law, even taped himself signing the game box with a camcorder for his grandparents.
and finally yes Christian Bale was in character as Patrick Bateman the entire time (most of us lowly grunts didn't really recognize him) my buddy had to drive him to his hotel from set one day....Christian Bale was doing the feed me a cat/I want to play with your blood but the whole time...freaked my buddy out ..I feel bad for whoever his handlers were in the Batman movies....that must have been a nightmare 🤣
Epic insights, the stories behind amazing films can be very interesting as well and increase the experience of the movie.
Where were his handlers during Terminator Salvation? I'd pay to see the shitstorm between him and the DP
That particular controversy isn't unique to this movie; it seems to happen a lot so it doesn't really seem like something the video needed to include that would've been essential to this specific movie. The phrase "fun facts" needs to die but those factoids (improved on it already) are much better video material than the controversy.
thanks man! great firsthand material
His handlers, haha. I love that.
Bateman killing the dog was absolutely traumatizing
Just hearing it screaming in pain was enough to haunt my dreams
And the worst part is that it can't tell whether the dog died instantly or if it took hours to die out
In the book, he does something to Evelyn's little dog early one morning while they're on vacation (in the Hamptons, if I remember correctly).
That, shocked me.
You guys are more sympathetic to a dog than the people who are getting killed..
@@sethgeeko867 that's because the dog suffered more than the owner
@@Zombiesnyder13 it's a dog? people are worth more than any animal?I love dogs but a human life is more important than a 🐶
@@sethgeeko867 I you really love dogs, you would say the other way around
Never knew DiCaprio was in Beaches. I did love Bette Midler in The Beach though.
lol - I did not catch that mistake in the video until after I read this.
I sat on hold for the entire duration of this movie trying to make a reservation to Dorcia
I remember watching this is the cinema. It was a fantastic movie. I interpreted the ending as his secret friends covering up his murders.
Christian Bale was phenomenal in this movie, you'd never guess that he wasn't American until you'd hear him speak in real life. Also, I like how ambiguous the ending is, in that you don't know what's real and what's not.
Yeah, they nailed the ambiguous nature of the book really well. The book is far, far, far, FAR more extreme in its depiction of violence, though, and it's probably good the movie didn't quite go there. It's the only book I've ever read where I had to put the book down a few times to "prepare myself" for what I was about to read.
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 agreed. It was brutal in places and I couldn't believe it got published.
So this movie had Batman, The Joker and The Green Goblin 🤔
"Did you Whitney Houston's debut LP has 4 hit singles on it? Did you know that Christie?" - P Bateman
If you haven't done so, read the book it's based on. It is a brilliant visceral satire on 80's greed and consumption. I read it before seeing the movie and man the film nailed it. Brilliant performance from Bale. Now I can't type anymore as I need to return some video tapes... :)
The book is terrible. One of the few examples of a film being better than the book it was based on.
@@vituperativedetritus3628 No it's not. You just didn't get it. Go look up the word 'allegory', then read it again and we'll be able to have a discussion.
It was to graphic for me but I’ll never deny it’s well written. It’s one of the few movies I prefer over the book .
I couldn't finish the book, and when I heard that it was being adapted, I couldn't imagine how they'd be able to make a faithful adaptation when so many of the scenes seemed unfilmable. But, they nailed it. To this day one of my favorite movies.
Jared Leto played himself in this movie
For some strange reason I still remember Bateman's monologue about Phil Collins and Genesis. He just goes on and on, all the while prepping for a kill.
Everything about this movie is beautiful including the conversations the way it is filmed and the acting is phenomenal
Sabrina just don't stare at it,eat it
This has been nice. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to return some videotapes.
Underrated and Underappreciated movie.
American Psycho is a What If Bruce Wayne's parents were never killed. Bruce Wayne was always insane.
Do you like Ice Nine Kills?
::Not really::
Their early work was a bit too 'scene' for me but when the Silver Scream came out, I really think they came into their own, commercially and artistically. Their whole album has a fine melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest.
HEY PAUL!!!!!!
(From 'Hip To Be Scared by Ice Nine Kills, based on American Psycho)
The book was very unsettling and very nauseating. I feel the film lived up to it. Bale was the perfect portrayal of Patrick. I can easily say this movie and se7en are two movies that left a deep feeling of uncertainty that anyone is going to live at the end.
2 words, Palm Springs
The author of the book is also basically a pedophile. He made a tweet about wanting to fuck Walter Jr from Breaking Bad years ago, at which point Walter Jr was literally playing a teenager. Actor was an adult at the time, but principal is the same. Not to mention other accounts of the author generally being a creep have come up.
Bateman also recited the laundry lists of unrelated objects in the novel. Between yucky slaughters. 😱
"Lets see Paul Allen card"
😁👍
The tasteful thickness of it
Great review! This movie really confused me a lil bit, especially the ending. But, you broke it down and I got A LOT of it.
Fantastic video! Makes me want to go and watch the movie again... for the 10th time!
I saw tons of movies like this in college thanks to the original Netflix (which had all kinds of obscure stuff they don't have anymore)
I would love to have seen David Cronenberg directing this movie.
He wouldn't have done as well imo. As much as I love his work
Patrick Bateman as Christian Bale was a laugh riot.
You're absolutely correct about the way Bateman talks about his morning routine as being similar to a "influencer".
Personally I find the outward-projecting need by people to be healthy and fit of the last ten or so years to be extremely Bateman-esque. Far, far less interestingly of course though.
Apparently the promotional emails were not written by Ellis, Bale (who did not like them) or Bateman but by a somebody in the film-companies marketing department.
IMO the best satire of the last thirty years
“I have to return some video tapes.”
The point was that the elite class allows insanity like this, because they don't want their way of life to be interrupted.
Tbh, I never read the novel. But how fortunate that Christian Bale played Patrick Bateman. Loved the movie, the cast in general, and the directing. I must have been living under a rock because I didn't even know there was a sequel..!
Anyone who thinks there is any ambiguity about his status as a killer is really missing the point.
When Bale dances around with the axe while listening to huey lewis and the news he admitted that he was channeling Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura a bit. You're welcome
No he wasnt
No. Both "Ace" movies came out way before AP
One of my favourite Bateman roles...EVER!...
Impressive, very nice... Let's see wtf happened to Paul Allen
Christian Bale should be James Bond. He is so obvious!
I think he could portray any character brilliantly 🤔
The film was shot in downtown Toronto in Canada; many scenes were shot inside and outside TD Center buildings. FYI.
I wanna see a more by the book adaptation of American Psycho, maybe a mini series for netflix.
I'd like to see that, too
Top 5 favorite movies of all time

Be sure to Like, Subscribe, and return those video tapes.
One of the best films ever made 💎
"WTF Happened To American Psycho?" I'll tell you.
It turned out fucking perfectly!
Now i'll watch the video.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time
Mine, too
A young dicaprio would of been a bad choice. I could see him playing it now a days but not then
Agreed.
The narrator would do a killer Norm MacDonald impersonation
I watched the film first, then the book. That might be the way to go, expanding upon the imagery and performance of Bale. I can see why someone who read the book first may have been let down, having first constructed their own imagery beforehand.
So many memes in one film
oh god the rat and the cheese section of the book. go read the book. you have to read a whole chapter on whitney houston but it's well worth it
Never read the book but the movie is straight up comedy to me, it has so many incredible one liners I spent the first half of the '00s asking people if they like Huey Lewis And The News.
Before I lay my big comment down.... Are you saying the American Psycho world is the same world other characters inhabit in Ellis's books ?
I think I've read about all his stuff and I don't think I ever realized that ... If that's the case
Your voice is reminiscent of a straight edge Norm McDonald 😂👍🏽
‘Beaches’ LOL
Jeremy fragrance daddy
can you do wtf happened to tusk and yes i'm talking about the kevin smith movie tusk
Classic Film n Classic Role for Bale!
He was wrong about Whitney Houston. She only had 3 #1 songs from her debut album: Saving All My Love For You, How Will I Know and Greatest Love Of All. Billboard and Casey Kasem researcher. In the movie, he says four. You Give Good Love only hit #3.
I kinda think that his lawyer is just a g and cleaned everything up that he said in his phone call, the realtor telling him to leave and now come back, she may have been paid off or sum by the lawyer to keep quite, but idk just watched this cool movie
Penelope Spheeris should have directed this, A return to her 80's roots
Excellent film, one of the best thing about it is how long it takes you to realize your suspicions that NONE of this is real is true. He killed no one, just in his mind, and it's a masterpiece.
I think you need to work on your name-pronunciations, but other than that; a very informative video! I never knew a lot of that! =)
"Beaches?"
Gloria steinem, femanist activist and journalist, protested the original release of the book. And then decades later her stepson, christian bale, played patrick bateman. True story.
Lets See Paul Allen's Retrospecive
Let's see what the fuck happened to Paul Allen.
this was excellent
Why does this dude's voice sound like he's reading a TMZ article? Completely ruins the reviews to some awesome movies. 🤐
Don't Touch The Watch!....
"Rolex" in the book
Well done, Emilie.
WTF happened to the filming of American Psycho? I'lll tell you what happened--a bunch of cool people got together and made an awesome movie, that's what happened!
Let's see Paul Allen's card.
You forgot Lunar Park.
I read the book, did the film show Patrick's favorite show "The Patty Winters Show"?
No.
I trust Joblo reviews and love the vids, but its questionable when u pronounce some of the actors names wrong.
HE'S LITERALLY ME
Impressive…very nice…let’s see wtf happened to Paul Allen’s RUclips video
It's an extremely intelligent slasher lol Maybe not really but think of the kills. It's a slasher partly.
Feed me a stray cat
So weird he would go one to be Batman and an Oscar winner down the road
What do you mean, nothing happened to it
70 pound mila kunis kills batman in the sequel
If anyone here wants to see his brother Sean Bateman, then go watch Rules Of Attraction lol. Another Brett Easton Ellis adaptation. Its his brother who would often say "Rock and Roll" that Patrick emulates at the very end of the film
Let's not boycott books or art of any kind yes?
Great Movie, always loved it!
Let's see Paul Allen's card
It's too bad the normal narrator isn't on this one...This narrator is so monotone and inflectionless it's really hard to watch.
Best Movie Ever
also Best Book Ever
and Best Batman Ever
My favorite movie 🎥
Honestly, when femenazi reee about a book or film or game, to me that's a seal of approval.
So he was like an influencer on tic tok etc
Yeah when I first saw this movie and then the twist at the end it was all in his warped entitled Yuppie imagination. I was like that was a waste of time.
Or was it.....
That is never definitively stated. The ending is ambiguous so you can't say for sure what really happened.
What happened was after the movie he ran for governor of California and then won.
Saw the movie and then read the book, for clarification on what actually happened. Turns out it all did. Always thought it would’ve been cool if Patrick Bateman could’ve been worked into Dexter as a major villain. Those two characters were just “born” to kill each other.
You're forgetting that the movie is an adaption, meaning it can deviate from the intentions of the book version. The book can be definitive in one way and the movie ambiguous at the same time. Whether you like it or not, the movie version is still left open to interpretation.
Are you deliberately saying names wrong for more "engagement"? I mean, come on My-la Kunis?? It's very cringe and doesn't really help make your channel a reputable source for movie info.
I wouldn't call this horror- there are so many funny moments that it's more dark comedy.
This is one of my all time favorites, but Jesus Christ I wanna see the Oliver Stone with DeCapprio version.
I thought this was the funniest movie ever especially when he chopped Paul Allen up listening to hip to be square Hilarious🤣🤣🤣
This is comedy and one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
🔥🔥
