@John Smith he definitely is one he is a New York elite who is all talk and make good promises and ideas of care meanwhile he ruins people and does horrible things and just tell those promises to simply break them so yes that’s basically what a democrat is.
Loool his psychopathic monologues full of memorized superficial trivia delivered in a falsely profound manner, alongside the way he starts them by asking "do you like (insert)" as if he actually gave a damn about their opinion, and the smirky smile he does while asking it... The movie is hilarious
Instantly. The point of these monologues is how the music has to fit into his trendy yuppie culture but the bands' frontmen still had the ability to carve out their identities. Bateman's totally fake, and you can tell it by his taste and views when it comes to music. His Genesis take shows exactly why.
@@mancodelepanto2696 I was thinking the music was probably added in post-production since it would probably mess with getting the audio from the actors.
I bought a copy of that Phil Collins CD for the sole purpose of pulling it out and asking my ex "Do you like Phil Collins?" the first night she slept over. True story.
Wtf are you talking about? Literally making something from nothing to sound smart. In the book it's clear, with great detail, that he's going to kill him long before this scene. But you could tell from his expression which means more than the 20 pages stating otherwise... wow you must know more than the author AND director. Very impressive 👌🏼
I love how he completely ignores Elizabeth laughing at his music taste and continues to monologue, as if her opinion doesn’t matter in the slightest. 😂😂😂
@@markrobinson9394 I know why she's laughing, in fact when we was I googled Whitey Houston just to see and it became clear to me that she thinks she's sexier and prettier than Whitney (and quite frankly, I agree with the hooker). You, I, and most likely also Patrick Bateman already knew this. What is he supposed to say though in response to her "opinion"? He's talking about empathy and how it doesn't really exist, and all she's focused on is that she's prettier and sexier. That's already obvious and Bateman was discussing something else entirely. In fact, her ignoring his topic and him ignoring hers proved Bateman's entire premise.
@@zysupra2865 I don’t think her laughing has anything to do with her thinking she’s prettier or sexier. I’d say it partially comes down to race and her feeling of superiority. If you watch throughout the film, none of the characters have any significant interactions with any black people, outside of Patrick stabbing a homeless man. The main characters all seem to be predominantly white and rich, so the the implication is that black music is not appreciated within their social circle. In addition, Whitney represents female empowerment, while Patrick is very much a misogynist. For him to follow her music is somewhat hypocritical on his part, but that’s his character to a tee. Also, it wasn’t a hooker who said it. It was Elizabeth, who appeared to be an acquaintance of Patrick. With her attitude, she very likely runs within the same social circle as Patrick. It took her getting drunk for her to willingly engage in lesbian activity, so she doesn’t appear to be someone whom Patrick has hired.
If only he was born in a different time......he’d have a RUclips channel where he could drone in and on about corny 80s music. Maybe we wouldn’t have resorted to being a killer..... that is until someone disagreed with him in the comment section.

This is still pretty impressive. I never read stuff to memorize like that. It's all the more impressive considering that Bateman probably doesn't even understand the first thing about music taste, and is simply repeating what he read from others with a somewhat convincing facade of passion and refinement. He could have done the same with a quantum physics textbook without learning a thing about quantum physics.
@Crustyprawn 157 I always interpreted it as him not having any emotion and trying to fit in as a yuppie, both because he himself says he's void of emotion and because of how all his opinions are very basic and mainstream (which makes him fit in even more).
I pronounce it as "Jook", and when I hear Americans say "Dook" it just sounds weird, same with "Dual", I pronounce it like "Jool", but Americans pronounce it as "Dool".
He is showing the ladies the CD-case of No Jacket Required by Phil Collins but the song he is playing is actually In Too Deep from the Genesis album Invisible Touch.

It isn't really a horror in any way. If we're talking about more drastic or scary ideas then it would be better described as a thriller. Still American Psycho is one of those movies that can fill the role for multiple genres by how you look at it.
It’s to emphasize that Paul couldn’t care less if he was screaming at him or having a deep philosophical exchange. Whether he’s too intoxicated or simply uninterested doesn’t matter to Bateman it’s all the same “inferior” way to interact to him. It never fails to make me laugh tho
He speaks like a narrator in an informercial every time he monologues about his favourite music. Its honestly really funny, especially in the Huey Lewis and The News scene.
"Do you like Wham, van Patten? Their early work seemed very immature to me... Club Tropicana was an undisputed hit of theirs, but I was afraid they would always be unable to take themselves seriously and would stay on the level of medium club hits. But in 1984 they released their second album, Make It Big. By this time George Michael was able to face his demons and confessed to Ridgeley that he was bisexual. That is what makes this album a masterpiece - a sense of liberation is present in all of these songs. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go...Freedom, Careless Whisper! Not to mention the ensemble cast of musicians present on these songs: Hugh Burns, Deon Estus and a drum machine! I feel that George Michael's heartfelt lyrics revealed to us what we had already known yet helped us to a deeper sense of acceptance, a sort of real liberation if you will! Another Martini, van Patten?"
Do you like Queen? Their early work was a bit too artsy, and, for a lack of a better term, all over the place, even though this proved to be a good thing sometimes, like in "Bohemian Rhapsody", which is undoubtedly the band's masterpiece and possibly the best song to come out of the 70s. It is an amazing song that combines many genres into a 6 minute masterpiece that is ecstasic to listen to. That being said, I believe they became better with the release of "News of the World", which kept the band's talent just as apparent while they went on a more commercial, radio friendly route. The album contained the simple yet extremely memorable tunes "We Will Rock You", and "We Are The Champions", which are the best sports anthems ever written. After that, they hit an even higher peak with "Jazz". This album has many catchy tunes, like "Let Me Entertain You", or "Fat Bottomed Girls", where Brian May speaks about his love for the more curvy type of women. It's masterpiece however is "Don't Stop Me Now". Everything about this song is perfect, it showcases Freddie Mercury's perfect vocals - the very highlight of the band, and piano skills along with Brian May's dynamite solo. It's fast tempo and the lyrics make you feel a sense of invincibility when you listen to it!
Do you like Radiohead Bryce? Their later work was a little too artsy for me but that 2nd album really caught my ear. Their big single with ‘creep’ was a fun little tune about the singer Thom’s anxieties which instills the listener with a sense of triumphant awkwardness. However the outcasty nature really bother me. But when that 2nd album ‘The Bends’ came out they really perfected something there. The tasteful sadness and longing, the acceptance of pain. It really called out to everyone in a way, the feeling of hope within darkness. I think that’s why they really grabbed an audience with their single ‘Fake Plastic Trees’, a phenomenal study of conformity and false faces. Hey Bryce! AAAGH
Bateman admits he didn't understand the early Genesis albums - too cerebral and intellectual. Then a few sentences later says Invisible Touch adds more meaning to the previous albums. In essence he's contracting himself. How can he say Invisible Touch adds more meaning to previous albums after admitting he didn't even understand the earlier albums? He's merely spouting intellectual-sounding observations without the self-awareness that what he's saying is utter nonsense. The hookers are too dull and stupid to comprehend his senseless words. He's merely massaging his own ego and sense of pseudo-intellectualism on two brainless lot lizards.

@@JoseEchoes378 and only deep sentimental dude from nowhere could say stuff like that? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No need to judge someone like that.
That's the joke bro. His nonchalance about everything intellectual while dissecting and elaborating on music albums like some sort of philosopher sets the tone of the irony. That's why it's funny.
I guess we should have known Patrick was not going to kill his secretary bc he didnt start it with " do u like ( insert band or singer ) nobody could have played this role better than bale.
I think that's the point. He never lies to some part of the movie; he's honest to everyone. But at some point the viewer realizes, that almost everything was fake and not real
@@jacektrzmiel8282 It's all real. All of it happened, but the point is that people are so wrapped up in themselves and able to mistake people for others (names mean nothing), that those actions are basically unseen and done with impunity, much to Bateman's chagrin. The scene between Bateman and the real estate agent illustrates this perfectly.
Did you know The Weeknd’s debut mixtape called simply, House of Balloons. Had no number-one singles on it? Did you know that chat? It’s hard to chose a favorite amongst so many great tracks… but the greatest love of all, is one of the best most powerful songs ever written, not about self preservation or dignity, this universal message crosses all boundaries, instills one that it is too late to better ourselves. Since it’s impossible in this world to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves, it’s an important message, crucial really, as beautifully stated on the album
I listened to the album Sports recently and Patrick is spot on about the clear,crisp sound. And dont even get me started on the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks,Collins and Rutherford.
agreed and that is really saying something as Bale has had a pretty great career since this film came out, with some truly top tier performances. but this is him at his best. Its a brilliant acting job, I think one of the best performances in any movie, ever. Up there is Brando and Day Lewis and De Niro at their peak.
I always took these scenes as Bateman finally getting to talk about something he's passionate about and truly believe in. It's like these are his best moments but the people he opens up to all kinda dismiss and laugh at him.
I think you’re missing the point. Bateman said it himself that nothing about him is real. He is making superficial and agreeable comments on music that was already popular in the 80s. He is attempting to act like a “real” person by making conversation, though in Bateman style it comes off as pretentious and snooty.
@@andrewpereira888 yeah but even in the restaurant he brings up music and it wasn't agree-able. I get your angle that his trying to be normal and failing. But he also kept talking about music once those girls laughed on his face. I don't condone or side with Bateman but when I watched the movie I was begging for the girls to pretend to be interested in the music and his opinion. The only one that was smart enough to do that was his secretary and she did it on accident just cause she's a good person
I know exactly what you mean. I find music tastes to be an intimate part of someone when getting to know them. It’s like exploring them inside and outside. Watching their expressions when they listen to something they enjoy vs. something you enjoy, enjoying the silence you both have while experiencing the music together, and ultimately growing as different people after sharing something so deep. Simply dissecting a song and telling the other person what it means to you is such a great connection
These monologues really added of the movie because they feel deeply rehearsed like he wrote the speech ahead of time which he probably did cuz he's a sociopath
As a Genesis fan, this scene it's really interesting too analyze, because it provides a wider scenario to understand Bateman's personality. He clearly stated that he "did not understand" the early works of Genesis as he found them "too artsy and intellectual". Early Genesis was a magnificent progressive project with topics related from religion to cultural observations about the British Culture. I wasn't born in the 80's but my parents lived that era, Phil Collins was everywhere at the time, right after Michael Jackson, you could easily listen one of Phil Collins songs in a supermarket. Patrick was so cultured and passionate about music, yet so selfish and shallow at the same time. The script is just amazing.
I used to talk about music just as passionate as Patrick, I also hate people touching me, if only I was rich and beautiful I could totally be Patrick Bateman female version.
You like The Weeknd? His early work was a little too, RnB for my taste, but when Starboy came out in ‘16 I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically, the whole album has a clear crisp sound and a new sheen of pop and professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Michael Jackson but I think Abel has a far more bitter, cynical sense of love. In 2020 Abel released this, After Hours, his most accomplished album, I think his undisputed masterpiece is After Hours, a song so catchy most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics, but they should because it’s not just about the insane beat drop and the importance of love, it’s also a personal statement about Abel himself
These reviews are very genius. His acting and word choice comes across as comical, but the reviews themselves accurately resemble his character, for example listening to the lyrics in Hip to be Square and in the third, his hope to better himself and only being able to empathize with himself
@@timotheuspeter734 If you listen to the lyrics especially at the end you realise that the song is mocking the yuppie culture of the 80s. And how the baby boomers abandoned their goals in the 60s to become conservative pro-Reaganites in the 80s.Basically the song is mocking Bateman.
@@florinivan6907 Alright! Thanks for your clarification, that helped me a lot - I realize that I might be too young to understand some of these "undertones", since I don't know the "culture" and socio-economical background of the yuppie "milieu" you are referring to very well. Could you also write a short note on Bateman's interpretation of The greatest love of all?
It was contemporary pop. All of it. Not very impressive. Just very well written insofar as Bateman's twisted view of what the music was actually about.
I think that Bateman likes music so much and memorizes so much trivial facts about it is because when he listens/talks about it is that even if for just a moment… he feels sane
It still bothers me that they used “In Too Deep” while showing off the album cover to No Jacket Required even though that song was on Invisible Touch...I guess they needed a transition to Sussudio but still...it’s the principle of the thing...it’s principalities!!!

It’s to emphasize that Paul couldn’t care less if he was screaming at him or having a deep philosophical exchange. Whether he’s too intoxicated or simply uninterested doesn’t matter to Bateman it’s all the same “inferior” way to interact to him.
It never fails to make me laugh tho
It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great clips...
He speaks like a narrator in an informercial every time he monologues about his favourite music. Its honestly really funny, especially in the Huey Lewis and The News scene.
"Do you like Wham, van Patten?
Their early work seemed very immature to me... Club Tropicana was an undisputed hit of theirs, but I was afraid they would always be unable to take themselves seriously and would stay on the level of medium club hits.
But in 1984 they released their second album, Make It Big.
By this time George Michael was able to face his demons and confessed to Ridgeley that he was bisexual. That is what makes this album a masterpiece - a sense of liberation is present in all of these songs. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go...Freedom, Careless Whisper! Not to mention the ensemble cast of musicians present on these songs: Hugh Burns, Deon Estus and a drum machine!
I feel that George Michael's heartfelt lyrics revealed to us what we had already known yet helped us to a deeper sense of acceptance, a sort of real liberation if you will!
Another Martini, van Patten?"
Hahaha that’s brilliant!
Fabulous writing!! More!!
Nice.
Do you like Queen? Their early work was a bit too artsy, and, for a lack of a better term, all over the place, even though this proved to be a good thing sometimes, like in "Bohemian Rhapsody", which is undoubtedly the band's masterpiece and possibly the best song to come out of the 70s. It is an amazing song that combines many genres into a 6 minute masterpiece that is ecstasic to listen to. That being said, I believe they became better with the release of "News of the World", which kept the band's talent just as apparent while they went on a more commercial, radio friendly route. The album contained the simple yet extremely memorable tunes "We Will Rock You", and "We Are The Champions", which are the best sports anthems ever written. After that, they hit an even higher peak with "Jazz". This album has many catchy tunes, like "Let Me Entertain You", or "Fat Bottomed Girls", where Brian May speaks about his love for the more curvy type of women. It's masterpiece however is "Don't Stop Me Now". Everything about this song is perfect, it showcases Freddie Mercury's perfect vocals - the very highlight of the band, and piano skills along with Brian May's dynamite solo. It's fast tempo and the lyrics make you feel a sense of invincibility when you listen to it!
Do you like Radiohead Bryce? Their later work was a little too artsy for me but that 2nd album really caught my ear. Their big single with ‘creep’ was a fun little tune about the singer Thom’s anxieties which instills the listener with a sense of triumphant awkwardness. However the outcasty nature really bother me. But when that 2nd album ‘The Bends’ came out they really perfected something there. The tasteful sadness and longing, the acceptance of pain. It really called out to everyone in a way, the feeling of hope within darkness. I think that’s why they really grabbed an audience with their single ‘Fake Plastic Trees’, a phenomenal study of conformity and false faces. Hey Bryce! AAAGH
The real horror on this scene is Patrick's claimings about Genesis
i beg to differ with Patrick, I prefer Genesis's prog years, Wind and Wuthering is amazing.
The worst thing that Patrick Bateman ever did was implying that pop Genesis is better than prog Genesis
@@nigelpisswater484 Peter Gabriel era of Genesis is the best.
@@pgarande23 The era where Gabriel and Collins are together is the best imo
Bateman admits he didn't understand the early Genesis albums - too cerebral and intellectual. Then a few sentences later says Invisible Touch adds more meaning to the previous albums. In essence he's contracting himself. How can he say Invisible Touch adds more meaning to previous albums after admitting he didn't even understand the earlier albums? He's merely spouting intellectual-sounding observations without the self-awareness that what he's saying is utter nonsense. The hookers are too dull and stupid to comprehend his senseless words. He's merely massaging his own ego and sense of pseudo-intellectualism on two brainless lot lizards.
I find the killings less horrifying than the statement “invisibile touch is a genesis undisputed masterpiece”
Absolute masterpiece of a film.

the fact that he didn't understand the band genesis until their 80s album is so fucking funny
I love that this movie is both really 80s and early 00s at the same time. I specifically bought the Huey Lewis Fore CD just to reference this when a yuppie friend comes over.
He lost all my respect when he said 70's Genesis was too artsy
he's not wrong
@@DGP406 deeply wrong. Only a shallow psychopath like him could say stuff like that.
@@JoseEchoes378 and only deep sentimental dude from nowhere could say stuff like that? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No need to judge someone like that.
@@mzdfzk bruh you're no fun
That's the joke bro. His nonchalance about everything intellectual while dissecting and elaborating on music albums like some sort of philosopher sets the tone of the irony. That's why it's funny.
His opinions on early Genesis is a bigger red-flag than anything else he's ever said in this entire film
I guess we should have known Patrick was not going to kill his secretary bc he didnt start it with " do u like ( insert band or singer ) nobody could have played this role better than bale.
Ironically he's not wrong about some of what he says
I think that's the point. He never lies to some part of the movie; he's honest to everyone. But at some point the viewer realizes, that almost everything was fake and not real
He's wrong about Peter Gabriel's Genesis, though.
Prog Genesis > Pop Genesis
He’s wrong about Huey Lewis and Whitney Houston too. Hahaha
@@jacektrzmiel8282 It's all real. All of it happened, but the point is that people are so wrapped up in themselves and able to mistake people for others (names mean nothing), that those actions are basically unseen and done with impunity, much to Bateman's chagrin. The scene between Bateman and the real estate agent illustrates this perfectly.
movie looks very good. positive.
The little look he makes after Paul Allen says “theyre ok” is everything
1:21 hey paul!
AAAAAHH-
You like phil colins?
It’s such a great transition.
“A song so cahhhhtchy” (does little dance) 😂
Did you know The Weeknd’s debut mixtape called simply, House of Balloons. Had no number-one singles on it? Did you know that chat? It’s hard to chose a favorite amongst so many great tracks… but the greatest love of all, is one of the best most powerful songs ever written, not about self preservation or dignity, this universal message crosses all boundaries, instills one that it is too late to better ourselves. Since it’s impossible in this world to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves, it’s an important message, crucial really, as beautifully stated on the album
You can tell this guy really loves music
Christie: "Let me get this straight, you actually think Whitney Houston's music is good?"
Bateman: "I do, and I'm tired of pretending it's not."
I love that in the book there are entire chapters of Patrick just talking about musical artists.
I listened to the album Sports recently and Patrick is spot on about the clear,crisp sound.
And dont even get me started on the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks,Collins and Rutherford.
Damn Anthony Fantano fell off the deep end
looool, he'd just ramble about the melon song
Yeah, he's been really quiet since this came out
“Did you know that I am a Genesis fan?”
Should he ever reprise this role, I'd love to hear him eloquently explain the Thong Song.
pffff.... he should try with Anaconda instead.
He should try to explain all mumble rappers out there too
@@eduardocardenas8392 yes!!
@@eduardocardenas8392 Seeing him do a monologue of the importance of Sir Playboi Carti's Sophomore Album 'Die Lit' would be amazing.
Or Milkshake by Kelis.
This was his best movie. The acting was absolute perfection.
agreed and that is really saying something as Bale has had a pretty great career since this film came out, with some truly top tier performances. but this is him at his best. Its a brilliant acting job, I think one of the best performances in any movie, ever. Up there is Brando and Day Lewis and De Niro at their peak.
I always took these scenes as Bateman finally getting to talk about something he's passionate about and truly believe in.
It's like these are his best moments but the people he opens up to all kinda dismiss and laugh at him.
I think you’re missing the point. Bateman said it himself that nothing about him is real. He is making superficial and agreeable comments on music that was already popular in the 80s. He is attempting to act like a “real” person by making conversation, though in Bateman style it comes off as pretentious and snooty.
@@andrewpereira888 yeah but even in the restaurant he brings up music and it wasn't agree-able. I get your angle that his trying to be normal and failing. But he also kept talking about music once those girls laughed on his face. I don't condone or side with Bateman but when I watched the movie I was begging for the girls to pretend to be interested in the music and his opinion. The only one that was smart enough to do that was his secretary and she did it on accident just cause she's a good person
@@XxBloodSteamxX good eye.
Thanks for shielding my virgin eyes from the killing. When I click Psycho clips, that means I'm not in the mood for anything too sassy
The Whitney monologue was definitely my favorite.
Anybody wanna return some video tapes?
Bateman's true calling was to be a music critic, but Dorsia's and Paul Allen got in the way.
What a nice man that's very passionate about music. I sure do hope he doesn't hide anything.
….as beautifully stated on the album.
lowkey its fun af to do this
I know exactly what you mean. I find music tastes to be an intimate part of someone when getting to know them. It’s like exploring them inside and outside. Watching their expressions when they listen to something they enjoy vs. something you enjoy, enjoying the silence you both have while experiencing the music together, and ultimately growing as different people after sharing something so deep. Simply dissecting a song and telling the other person what it means to you is such a great connection
These monologues really added of the movie because they feel deeply rehearsed like he wrote the speech ahead of time which he probably did cuz he's a sociopath
@1:24 Do you like Phil Collins?
Why I’m here
1:07 his dance always crack me up XD
I love how he says in the first two that he didn't like them until they became mainstream.
As a Genesis fan, this scene it's really interesting too analyze, because it provides a wider scenario to understand Bateman's personality. He clearly stated that he "did not understand" the early works of Genesis as he found them "too artsy and intellectual". Early Genesis was a magnificent progressive project with topics related from religion to cultural observations about the British Culture. I wasn't born in the 80's but my parents lived that era, Phil Collins was everywhere at the time, right after Michael Jackson, you could easily listen one of Phil Collins songs in a supermarket. Patrick was so cultured and passionate about music, yet so selfish and shallow at the same time. The script is just amazing.
He probably liked the music but wasn't that passionate about it. He was just probably reciting a script
I used to talk about music just as passionate as Patrick, I also hate people touching me, if only I was rich and beautiful I could totally be Patrick Bateman female version.
Your music monologue is sufficient Melissa.
You like The Weeknd? His early work was a little too, RnB for my taste, but when Starboy came out in ‘16 I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically, the whole album has a clear crisp sound and a new sheen of pop and professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.
He’s been compared to Michael Jackson but I think Abel has a far more bitter, cynical sense of love.
In 2020 Abel released this, After Hours, his most accomplished album, I think his undisputed masterpiece is After Hours, a song so catchy most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics, but they should because it’s not just about the insane beat drop and the importance of love, it’s also a personal statement about Abel himself
it is never too late to better ourselves.... beautiful
These reviews are very genius. His acting and word choice comes across as comical, but the reviews themselves accurately resemble his character, for example listening to the lyrics in Hip to be Square and in the third, his hope to better himself and only being able to empathize with himself
"...I give the album a 7 out of 10."
Patthony Batetano
He was the blueprint for all modern youtube music reviewers
So basically he is speaking his own thoughts hiding behind reviewing songs.
Patrick Bateman got me into Huey Lewis, Phil Collins and Whitney Houston, yes, Whitney Houston.
Same the man has a killer taste in music
What a sweet gentleman, how passionate about music.
1:08 awesome dance 🤣😂😅
Somehow this movie gets funnier as time goes on
He’s very Jim Carrey in that first scene
sounds very much like him too
And a little sheldon
I completely forgot how incredibly funny this movie is
0:34. His whole facial expression, his eyes… chilling.
He was fully focused on the job & task@hand
For some reason, I was praying he'd pull out Welcome to the Jungle just to see him do the Axl Rose shimmy.
It's hard to choose a favourite amongst so many great tracks.
He just needs a flannel square shirt and it's like being killed by Fantano.
I'm certain that these are regurgitations of other people's reviews that Patrick has read...
Man i love this movie so much
Its funny to think that he completely misinterprets 'Hip to be square'.Then again thats how it is with most songs when people listen to them.
Well that IS the whole point. Batemen misinterprets every song he talks about but is trying to sound informed.
What exactly is the message of the song Hip to be square? I don’t know the band very well; is it meant ironically?
@@timotheuspeter734 If you listen to the lyrics especially at the end you realise that the song is mocking the yuppie culture of the 80s. And how the baby boomers abandoned their goals in the 60s to become conservative pro-Reaganites in the 80s.Basically the song is mocking Bateman.
@@florinivan6907 Alright! Thanks for your clarification, that helped me a lot - I realize that I might be too young to understand some of these "undertones", since I don't know the "culture" and socio-economical background of the yuppie "milieu" you are referring to very well.
Could you also write a short note on Bateman's interpretation of The greatest love of all?
It's not his interpretation. He probably memorized an article about it to make himself look intellectual and profound.
I gotta rewatch this brilliant masterpiece.
I love how he pronounces the name of Genesis’ 1980 album…Duke.
same
He still would’ve gotten away with the Allen murder because Allen thought he was Halberstram, not Bateman.
His talking is ASMR
I don't know what impressed me his knowledge about music or the movie itself
It was contemporary pop. All of it. Not very impressive. Just very well written insofar as Bateman's twisted view of what the music was actually about.
when you realize that Patrick turned the volume up so that no one would hear Paul Allen's screams.
I think that Bateman likes music so much and memorizes so much trivial facts about it is because when he listens/talks about it is that even if for just a moment… he feels sane
Me talking to strangers about 90's grunge, 00's alt rock while i'm intoxicated at an after work and no one's asking about it
It still bothers me that they used “In Too Deep” while showing off the album cover to No Jacket Required even though that song was on Invisible Touch...I guess they needed a transition to Sussudio but still...it’s the principle of the thing...it’s principalities!!!
I love how patrick just completely ignores someone laughing at him and continues on with his glorious monologue anyways
