The most underrated clip in this movie is him threatening to kill the laundry lady, her gasping, then going back to arguing with her like it never happened lol.
I had a very similar conversation with a person once calling me Mr Lewis and was like huh ? who ????? no I'm not Mr Lewis no haha . Never thought nothing about it until a yr more? after it all happened, haha I got like a photo graphic memory and stuff haha and I remember meaningless info all the time haha it makes people mad too I think ? haha , people don't like me pointing this out it seems haha.
I love how he murders Paul Allen, goes to his apartment right after, and says "as I walk into Paul Allen's apartment, I have a moment of sheer panic....when I realize his apartment overlooks central park; it's better than mine". Fucking classic.
Lexington Deville84 IS that in A.P. #1 or #2? I own A.P. #1, and I don't remember any girl eating a rat! I've seen the movie maybe 10x so... have a nice night!
Dor fuller I meant to say two separate chapters in the book. One is where Bateman kills a girl by using a rat in the most gruesome way possible. And the other one is where he cooks another dead girl and tries to eat her intestines.
I remember an interesting interview, in which a psychopath explained he assumed everyone was faking emotions, emulating empathy and acting out appropriate responses, until they reached a certain age in childhood and realised everyone else was actually doing it for real. I think the chap being interviewed said his epiphany was around the 8 or 9 years old mark.
A lot of psychopaths actually can feel emotions and so on It’s just that they are also really good at faking/controlling them, like to the point where they do it as a normal habit.
Don Winslow Actually when Bale was sent Batman Begins’ script he thought he was sent the script of American Psycho’s prequel named “Bateman Begins”. True story
Personally I'm more inclined to believe that Patrick's awful deeds (atleast most of them) were actually real. It emphasises just how self absorbed the world around him is that they didn't even notice. Having them be in his imagination sort of takes away that aspect of the film.

At the same time I struggle to watch it all the way through, I think because I find it so empty and crushing on the mind and soul.

Ironically like I said it gets more laughs out of me than any other film.
i like how later on in the movie, his main excuse for leaving is that he had to return some videotapes. we see it when patrick attempts to strangle luis, minutes later when he is back in his office being questioned by detective kimball, and lastly when he breaks up with evelyn. also another short running joke i liked was that in the beginning of the movie when bateman had to leave, the other person would say, "oh you’re going to _____ isn’t that uptown/downtown?"
After watching Worst Acting Compilations and then these clips, I realized that if it were any one else half of these scenes could have ended up there. He really delivers.
I think his most versatile scene, besides the climax where Bateman is confessing on the phone, has got to be in the dry cleaners. He goes from frantic to angry to calmly psychopathic, back to angry to livid to gobsmacked to defeat to masking himself as a timid, yet friendly person to aprehensive while giving on mild expressions of still being livid all in 30 seconds. Fucking brilliant.
Patrick Bateman is a sociopath and doesn't understand basic human interaction, let alone possess any ounce of empathy. When communication fails, he tries all the means he can think of, one by one, like a broken record, in the hope that one of these approaches will work.
Nothing compares to the watermark scene. Not Paul Allens untimely axing, not twirling a chainsaw down the halls in his birthday suit, or even checking himself out while forking those two babes. Look at that subtle white colouring.
Patrick scowling at the pig while wearing reindeer antlers talking to a stuffed polar bear with a thick German accent and gaily ringing a bell while rocking on an antique rocking horse is one of my favourite frames.
Long Schnozzed Tribesman You’re splitting hairs here. Neither are fucking justifiable, and racism is a pretty clear sign of psychopathy. The cognitive dissonance required to be racist isn’t indicative of sanity.
Victor Velocity most people don’t listen to the lyrics but they should because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and importance of friends but about the band itself
It's part of his character that he can't make good excuses but nobody fucking cares because everybody is interchangeable and too self-absorbed. Maked you realize more how much more genius this movie is. Now if you'll excuse me I have to return some video tapes.
Love how patrick stops lewises compliment because he doesnt understand that everyone doesnt just compliment each other out of getting a higher position or doing it for social obligation he actually does like bateman and the suit.
This movie feels like the opposite end of fight club to me. Like they exist on the same spectrum as extremely polar opposites but still connected in many ways
Psychopaths are known for getting highly upset over petty things, like a sunny day suddenly turning overcast while they are hacking to bits what had been a human being.
I've used the phrase "i have to return some videotapes" hundreds of times since i saw this movie, worked everytime accept on one occasion when this american girl immediately answered with "what are you, a serial killer ?"
The laundry shop lady said "so dirty so dirty so dirty, so troubled (cleaning process), need to breach, so dirty so dirty.." til Bale said in 1:45 "I'll kill you" the lady reply "Ai ya (toughly translated like "what the hell...."), Then replied "Mr., Mr., I want to tell you, Mr, Mr, ..." Until Bale replied " I don't understand you!!"....
To break up some awkward silence during a client meeting, I decided to spark some laughter and did the business card scene when clients handed over the card....let's just say that there was 30 sec of just stare and silence and it was yeah more awkward
I still do. Initially it did not go down well because they didnt get it then during the follow up, I mentioned this clip and they wrote back.....at least you didnt enter with a bat, nail gun and murder us. My manager didnt get it and thought I was being inappropriate but I told him.....work shouldnt be all doom and gloom.
@@wym5311 - I always thought that “company culture” stuff in college was bs. But it’s actually incredibly important. I can’t stand working with a bunch of stiffs who act like everything is the end of the world and have no sense of humor.

I can’t grind auditing hedge funds day in day out when everyone acts like tomorrow is the deadline year round and everyone’s mom just died. It’s toxic, burns people out and doesn’t promote comradery.

Nah mate I’m utterly insane
Same, I adore this movie but I find that scene so hard to watch, it's so disturbing
That's the whole point
@@Naruto_from_the_Naruto_show yea I know that’s the point, doesn’t make it less hard to watch for me
@@rileyhawkins9777 I know it doesn't, it is terrible. The book is even more cruel
"I LIKE TO DISSECT GIRLS. DID YOU KNOW I'M UTTERLY INSANE? “ 😂
4:05 - I like Bryce's card holder. Idk why, just something slick about it even though it's not even fully shown.
: "O my god . . . It even has a watermark." LOL
impressive... most impressive
Mike M. omg love that part. too funny.
Hahaha
HAHHAHA
You know what a fucking loser you are?
Nothing compares to the watermark scene. Not Paul Allens untimely axing, not twirling a chainsaw down the halls in his birthday suit, or even checking himself out while forking those two babes. Look at that subtle white colouring.
VivaMessico What a disgusting human being. You’re pathetic.
this comment thread is supremely confusing
@@thehomierasputin5471 Cool it with the anti-semitic remarks
I just have to return some video tapes
Lol forking.
4:29 notice how he takes the glasses off after he asks to see Paul Allen’s card almost like he’s taking off the sane mask he had on before.
I honestly love his little dance that he did before he killed Paul😆😆😆
That moment when you realize Batman chops down the Joker with an axe LOL
BatEman*
Batman: I never kill…
Also Batman: Hey Paul, try getting a reservation at Dorsia now, you f***ing stupid bastard!
@wellbz bruh
@wellbz bruh
Wait...
Wich joker did he played?
Patrick scowling at the pig while wearing reindeer antlers is one of my favorite frames in any movie.
Someone put them on his head.
Without him knowing
Mine is when he scrounches his face up when Paul allen comments on cecilia's ass
Patrick scowling at the pig while wearing reindeer antlers talking to a stuffed polar bear with a thick German accent and gaily ringing a bell while rocking on an antique rocking horse is one of my favourite frames.
He’s a good Muslim, mashallah.
this movie is a legit masterpiece i watched it so many times
8:19 - I love his lil dance he does when he mentions 'Hip To Be Square'! It slays my ass EVERYTIME!!! 😂🤣
"I've been here this whole time you just didn't see me" this is like the whole plot of the movie, it's thrown there like a grain of salt i love it.
Don't you love how he sounds like a radio DJ whenever he gets crazy?
Laura Zaetz yeah
True🌹
Haha! ...I never noticed.
“There’s a moment of sheer *panic* when I realize Paul’s apartment overlooks the park… it’s *obviously* more expensive than mine.”
I like how Luis is the only one who notices when Patrick is sweating, or interested and vaguely emotional..
"is that a gram!?" LMFAO that character is always taking about coke
Lol he's my favorite character. I heard he went to rehab
I mean you can't have a movie about yuppies without at least 1 coke head.
@@raspberrycrowns9494 I heard he went to Dorsia? Gotta great bathroom there…
I love Bale's delivery of "No, just cool it with the Anti-Semitic remarks..."
Also rather hypocritical.
He may be a psychopath but at least he’s not a racist
@Chandler Burse dude just cuz he throws insults around, doesnt mean he actually gives a fuck.
@@williampoole1742 nigerians
Long Schnozzed Tribesman You’re splitting hairs here. Neither are fucking justifiable, and racism is a pretty clear sign of psychopathy. The cognitive dissonance required to be racist isn’t indicative of sanity.
"Your compliment was sufficient Louis" kills me every time
Haha yer name?
"there's a moment of panic when I realise Paul's apartment looks over the park" says the man carrying the dead Paul's body.
You know you're obsessed with this movie when you can recite the whole "Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?" speech to random strangers at the bar.
Victor Velocity most people don’t listen to the lyrics but they should because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and importance of friends but about the band itself
Blue Cheese I'm pretty sure he said the importance of trends
"...oh, it's cranberry juice-- cranapple" WINE! You could've said WINE, Patrick!
+Jonny Lupus It's a dove bar
Yeah cuz blood is a LOT like wine 🍷
It's part of his character that he can't make good excuses but nobody fucking cares because everybody is interchangeable and too self-absorbed. Maked you realize more how much more genius this movie is. Now if you'll excuse me I have to return some video tapes.
@@gabe-a-ghoul691 Yeah get him, stab an axe through his head. Grrgh.
That’s the point same with how he always says he has to return videotapes...?
Love how patrick stops lewises compliment because he doesnt understand that everyone doesnt just compliment each other out of getting a higher position or doing it for social obligation he actually does like bateman and the suit.
This movie feels like the opposite end of fight club to me. Like they exist on the same spectrum as extremely polar opposites but still connected in many ways
Christian Bale's performance was amazing in this. Think he'd actually make a pretty amazing Joker xD
That would've been hilarious if he also played the Joker in the dark Knight
+Rogelio Tobias if he played both batman and the joker xD would've been like an Eddie Murphy film
+AFMakers or Adam Sandler
Rogelio Tobias Has Adam Sandler done that? Would be good to watch
+AFMakers no no it's not, "jack and Jill"
Did anyone else find it absolutely hilarious when he would get mad over the business cards? I don't know why I was dying of laughter 😂
Yes! LMAO
haha great flick
G4nst4Ch33se that was hilarious too.. idk why he was always going into every detail about the music lmfao
LETS SEE PAUL ALLEN'S CARD 😂😂😂😂😂
Psychopaths are known for getting highly upset over petty things, like a sunny day suddenly turning overcast while they are hacking to bits what had been a human being.
I've used the phrase "i have to return some videotapes" hundreds of times since i saw this movie, worked everytime accept on one occasion when this american girl immediately answered with "what are you, a serial killer ?"
"No Luis, It's not me. You're mistaken." i love that line
The laundry shop lady said "so dirty so dirty so dirty, so troubled (cleaning process), need to breach, so dirty so dirty.." til Bale said in 1:45 "I'll kill you" the lady reply "Ai ya (toughly translated like "what the hell...."),
Then replied "Mr., Mr., I want to tell you, Mr, Mr, ..." Until Bale replied " I don't understand you!!"....
Thanks!!!
Thank you my friend. What language was it? It was hard to tell
@@kkeanie Cantonese, one of the southern dialect of Chinese.
@@kawangkwok5262 thank you! 谢谢，我的朋友
I wish they had subtitles for it in the movie.
To break up some awkward silence during a client meeting, I decided to spark some laughter and did the business card scene when clients handed over the card....let's just say that there was 30 sec of just stare and silence and it was yeah more awkward
Do you still have that job? 🤣
I still do. Initially it did not go down well because they didnt get it then during the follow up, I mentioned this clip and they wrote back.....at least you didnt enter with a bat, nail gun and murder us. My manager didnt get it and thought I was being inappropriate but I told him.....work shouldnt be all doom and gloom.
Ohhhhhh thats cringe
@@wym5311 - I always thought that “company culture” stuff in college was bs. But it’s actually incredibly important. I can’t stand working with a bunch of stiffs who act like everything is the end of the world and have no sense of humor. I understand work is important, but I personally need some casualness, joking and a friendly atmosphere. I can’t grind auditing hedge funds day in day out when everyone acts like tomorrow is the deadline year round and everyone’s mom just died. It’s toxic, burns people out and doesn’t promote comradery.
same here...stiff and serious just make things depressing
I love the desperation in seeing Paul Alan’s card and the fact Paul played it off like he didn’t have the best card
