the point of the cards is that the company has a standard graphic design format they must all conform to, it's a metaphor to their entire personas, and they can only stand out in subtle ways which are only observable by them. To the outside world they are all identical. It's this pressure on the human soul that is driving him to kill.
it's way funnier to think that these cards are just indistinguishable from each other (which they kinda are) and Patrick killed jared leto for the stupidest reason imaginable
Eggshell - van Patten was obsessed with food in the book (the red snapper pizza) and it pissed Bateman off... Pale nimbus - a cloud. A white cloud, of cocaine 😉 (is that a gram?) he was shoveling Bolivian Marching Powder up his nose with Bateman in the bathroom... Subtle subtle. 😁
@@ObiWanBockobiNot exactly. Patten's looks better than Bateman's. I believe material is of better quality, letters are easier to read. Allen's is mid, frankly.
Its funny how some guys today portray Patrick as a "Sigma", the most incredible type of man and shit, while in reality, he is the most insecure guy ever.
That's the whole movie. Do yourself a favor and watch it. It's thriller, drama, suspense, horror, and above all else, hilariously exaggerated, satirical comedy.
@jpm1911 That is the opposite of what is going on here. All of these guys do the same job - they make M&A deals - they are essentially salesmen. But the people they have to "sell" are c-suite executives who often have huge egos and put an enormous value on titles and status, so back in the heyday of investment banking it became commonplace for these firms to just slap a fancy sounding but meaningless title like "vice president" on all of their deal makers so that the client would be able to tell themselves they are working with a big wig and not just a salesperson. None of them are actually people managers.
"As a vice president, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed... but with a business card? I can be tastefully thick, I can be everlasting..." "What business card?" "Something impressive, something very nice..."
I just want to watch all of his movies where he plays an American but still uses his native accent. I want to hear Patrick speak as if he just walked right out of a Dickens book 😂
It's a way of showing that everything revolves around comparison: my suit is better than yours, my restaurant is more exclusive than yours, my business card is better than yours...
all these years and I only just noticed that patrick's card is off balance because it's written "pierce &pierce", no space between the ampersand and the second pierce. wow that's weird. 1:48
This scene reminds me of me and the boys back in school 🏫 comparing our favorite Yu-Gi-Oh cards 😂😂 Someone pulls Dark Magician or Blue Eyes White Dragon, you done
I’d pull out my fake printed anime Seal Of Orichalcos… took all my friend’s souls lol. Miss being a kid. On a side note these people are insane lol, and ironically all their cards look better and more creative than Allen’s 😂
The thing is: Al is not such a good person either, he'd probably rob you or beat you or take whatever he could from anyone he sees who's in a disadvantage and he'd encounter. It just shows how fucked up this society is.
I've watch this scene probably 100 times, but right now is the first time I noticed the guy asking “Is that a gram?" when Bateman opens his cardholder, hoping to do some afternoon blow. Hilarious.

Thx now i finally underdtand the movie after 20y. No kidding
Buuuuut, Paul Allen's card looked amazing, you must admit it.
Very cool Porter, but that's nothing.
Great analysis. Do you have any recommendations on any literature or resources critiquing/analyzing this film?
it's way funnier to think that these cards are just indistinguishable from each other (which they kinda are) and Patrick killed jared leto for the stupidest reason imaginable
- "Good coloring"
- "That's bone"
Subtly eerie line, coming from a serial killer
He didn't kill anyone. The movie gives hints that he is mentally ill and his name isn't actually Patrick Bateman.
He is absolutely Patrick Bateman. @@CodeNameV13

Subtle subtle. 😁
@@CodeNameV13the medication IS clearly a HINT
All that money spent on business cards, and none of them can spell "acquisitions" correctly.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I just noticed that too after reading your comment
Blame the printers
@@hiphopguru81 It's not the printers job to proofread spelling, you tell them what you want, they send you a proof to approve, and they print it.
Because they are so obsessed with paper type, thickness and lettering that they forgot to check for spelling. They only care for their appearance.
This is the best subtle joke in the movie.
Look at the subtle intro, the tasteful volume mixing, oh my god...its even perfectly clipped
*SMACK* "...Your compliment was sufficient, Louis." lol
Even as a killer, CONSENT IS CONSENT.
The CEOs card is probably just a regular card.
They are all just regular cards. That's the point. These people are crazy.
@@ObiWanBockobiNot exactly. Patten's looks better than Bateman's. I believe material is of better quality, letters are easier to read.

It's a Pokémon card, maybe.
@@darksiders2002 no one gives a flying doodoo
It's like art. You have to have an eye for it.
I've told myself I have good taste, but I don't have any substantial evidence to back that up.
Its funny how some guys today portray Patrick as a "Sigma", the most incredible type of man and shit, while in reality, he is the most insecure guy ever.
So he is me
Never seen this film before only shorts of it on TikTok and exactly what I thought but looking at this scene alone I know it’s all wrong 😭😂
I think the Sigma edits are kind of ironic.
Some guys you mean a couple of virgins in internet
And this is the exact moment where Batman began to hate the Joker.
😱😱🤯
BATEMAN. Take out the E that’s “Batman.” Coincidence? I think not
Well... Not wanna be an asshole or nothing but American Psycho was released in 2000 and Batman Begins in 2005 so... Yeah. Coindicence
I knew it! Why has no one noticed this important connwction!!!😢
Too bad the book and movie were released years before Bale played Batman
I don’t think that’s right..
80's batman kills not like these new batmans
Venting his anger over his new business card being one upped
“Is that a gram?” 🤣
never undestood what he meant by that
Nose clams

I don't think so buddy
This is the most closeted thing I've ever witnessed amongst a group of men.
"the most closest thing". Good holy God, please, do away with the department of education. It clearly is worthless.
@dyates6380 closeted, not closest. I agree though I hate the department of education.
@@gottesurteil3201 I genuinely dont think Itd be possible to script out a better interaction than this, holy shit lol
@@dyates6380Good grief you’re a lame
@arcadema only one was gay
“Oh my god it even has a watermark” always gets me😂
This scene is legendary what's funny about is the cards all look the same
Simple minds can't see differences
@@hiphopguru81Think OP knows they're not all exactly the same, but are very similar, and that's the satire part
What's more funny is they're all vice president of the same company.
they are not the same alright? didn't you see the subtle off-white colourings? the tasteful thickness? my god.. you didn't even see the watermarks..
@@hitmonkey4726 this is pretty normal...that's why there are titles like 'senior vice president'
Never watched this movie but I always found this scene hilarious because you can tell it’s so ridiculously exaggerated through Bateman’s eyes 😂
That's the whole movie. Do yourself a favor and watch it. It's thriller, drama, suspense, horror, and above all else, hilariously exaggerated, satirical comedy.
Na it’s straight up hilarious you have to watch it lol
Stop commenting and watch it
It's pretty dark in some places (like the end of this clip). But the last 30 minutes is good satire/commentary.
When Lewis shows his card and they’re like “thats nice Lewis…” that shows how much they actually care about the subject
Impressive, very nice. Let's see Gordon Gecko's card.
Josec squash
2:34 that look he gives is perfection. Like he's afraid to unleash the card.
So many vice presidents i thought it was suppose to be just one
Well, largw companies have diferents departments and all of them could have a president and vice president
its common for corporations to inflate job titles, its a way to give status and ego to potential clients and employees without having to pay
@jpm1911 That is the opposite of what is going on here. All of these guys do the same job - they make M&A deals - they are essentially salesmen. But the people they have to "sell" are c-suite executives who often have huge egos and put an enormous value on titles and status, so back in the heyday of investment banking it became commonplace for these firms to just slap a fancy sounding but meaningless title like "vice president" on all of their deal makers so that the client would be able to tell themselves they are working with a big wig and not just a salesperson.

The true enemy is Dorsia ✌️😎🤙
The instigator.
People often forget how great actor jared leto is as well
christian bale is just so good actor
The sound design is top tier
"As a vice president, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed... but with a business card? I can be tastefully thick, I can be everlasting..."
"What business card?"
"Something impressive, something very nice..."
Excellent cross over reference.
I just want to watch all of his movies where he plays an American but still uses his native accent. I want to hear Patrick speak as if he just walked right out of a Dickens book 😂
Love how everyone puts their card away as soon as Bateman asked to see Paul's card.
They are all vicepresidents 😂😂😂
Why do they all only carry one card?
The only thing I can think of is to make it seem as though they hand them out all the time.
It's a way of showing that everything revolves around comparison: my suit is better than yours, my restaurant is more exclusive than yours, my business card is better than yours...
My guess is they keep one as pristine as possible just to show off like @geovannesilvatorres2188 said
Everyone's the Vice-President for some reason.
Them discussing business card is equivalent to girls comparing different shades of red on nail polish
Patrick Bateman had the best card imo
It’s ok he can’t hurt you
I find it funny how they're all vice president
all these years and I only just noticed that patrick's card is off balance because it's written "pierce &pierce", no space between the ampersand and the second pierce. wow that's weird. 1:48
So Gavin Belson started at Pierce & Pierce before Huli
He will be airlifting elephants in no time
And the rabbit he used was air lifted from his head
Hooli
When you have too many video tapes to return
Depends on the number of departments. In my bank there are about a 100 MDs each in commercial, in investment and so on
the fact that they all are "vice president" and wear the same way
Kind of funny that Baxter was the only one who didn’t get a new business card to show everyone
This scene reminds me of me and the boys back in school 🏫 comparing our favorite Yu-Gi-Oh cards 😂😂
Someone pulls Dark Magician or Blue Eyes White Dragon, you done
I’d pull out my fake printed anime Seal Of Orichalcos… took all my friend’s souls lol. Miss being a kid. On a side note these people are insane lol, and ironically all their cards look better and more creative than Allen’s 😂
“Is that a gram?” 😂
Impressive, very nice. Let’s see Howard Carnes’s card.
Never seen this before but i wasnt expecting the dog kicking
One of my favorite scene in a film! Great depiction of human nature lol
I refuse to believe this movie actually exists. I think the clips are the only things that were shot lol
Damn look at paul allen card, its so gorgeous
This whole scene is just one big meme and I can’t stop laughing. 😂
F...the cards: i cant have a reservation at Dorsia!!
One of the greatest movie scenes in history.
Batman and Joker in another universe 🤣
I would say "Let's see Paul Allen's Card" but we already know what it looks like now don't we?
funny enough, Ad agency executive bros are exactly like this to this day.
Getting reservations at Dorshia's is the entire plot of this movie!
The real American Dream
Scene never gets old
I know people who are the same way with MTG cards
how many VP's they got at Pierce & Pierce? 🤣
All of them
One of them is Vice Pierce
You can’t tell me Luis doesn’t look like Elijah Wood
I was waiting for the Gavin Belson Signature card. If he showed it, it would be the end of everything. 🤣
He killed that dog. 🫢
I can't believe Patrick Bateman was the Bay Harbor butcher
It was OK until he killed the poor dog 🐕
3:15 is straight out of Batman
Sea urchin ceviche 😂😂😂
I like the dog part the most
Something wrong with you.
Me seing my ex’s new boyfriend 2:55
Bruce Wayne is walking the alleys of Gotham City Hun
You Know a characther is fucking evil when he kills the dog too
Didn’t realize it was the guy who plays Gavin Belson 😂
Meanwhile anytime anyone gave youa card after 1991 you'd groan and pretend you're not going to bin it the moment they walk away
If you've ever been around narcissistic individuals you can relate.😊
Paul Allen's card is the best
Gavin Belson before his Hooli days
Bruce Wayne changed for the better after that
The thing is: Al is not such a good person either, he'd probably rob you or beat you or take whatever he could from anyone he sees who's in a disadvantage and he'd encounter. It just shows how fucked up this society is.
This is some sigma chad stuff
@5:04❤
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen help the homeless.
4:56 the solution to the homeless problem
Great movie.
Didn't know Gavin Belson was zesty
Sea urchin ceviche, Yum
Gavin before Hooli
ASMR scene
The homeless guy 😔
Is that gavin belson😮
Women scene, but played by men... action.
Beautiful direction
0:58 mmhmm
Damn shame what they did to that dog.
Who the hell ever bothered with business cards? Was this film really that long ago? 😂
I called the number it doesn’t work
Not anymore.
i don't remember this in batman
They’re all VP’s?
Every company has an army of VPs now. SVP is the real VP.
The cu5t killed the dog.
I've watch this scene probably 100 times, but right now is the first time I noticed the guy asking “Is that a gram?" when Bateman opens his cardholder, hoping to do some afternoon blow. Hilarious.
They’re all white cards or black lettering
Paul Allen is just too blonde
Those cards are so damned boring
How many homeless guys died to get that scene just right🤔
Is that a gram??
Hilarious psycho yuppie !!
OH MY GOD!
