I think this is fascinating and more people need to think about the result than the moment. I'm dreaming of being in front of some cams and not working with rushs. But yeah, it's awkward until you start seeing the editing process. Making a movie is such a blast.
It's really interesting to watch a scene without the correct angles, perspectives, background sounds. It's so amateur and strange to watch, but then they splice it together and it's so unreal it's real.
seriously christian bale in this movie fucking rocks. He just got everything about the character, no one could have played Pat Bateman better than him.
Although originally polarizing to audiences and critics alike, it developed a much deserved cult following when released on digital video disc, or DVD. There it found a second life, and really came into its own commercially, and artistically.
Every film ever made probably feels pathetic to actually make for the actors when they're in the moment doing it. It would literally feel like being a kid playing dress up but as a grown adult infront of a camera. It all comes off feeling pretty pathetic and embarrassing when it's not being viewed in the format of a movie. Perfect camera angles, precise editing, background noise, the right music choices. Making a film is an insane difficult process that honestly lies more in the hands of the crew than it does the actors but the actors get way more credit.
+Batman Christian Bale had to kill 20-40 people to prepare for his character in American Psycho. Some say he even had to eat brains... and he tried to cook a little.
@@FreeKentHovind Actually tho DiCaprio may even act better at the character he plays but his character range is very limited While Christian is very very versatile and ofcourse very good
tf is the point of these kind of comments? Commercial camcorders have been able to get this kind of quality since like the 80s. You are just blinded by the fact that cellphones ruined videos with their shit quality in the 2000s and early 2010s.
Yeah, its absolutely ridiculous. Thats what most amateur actors struggle with, how to fully and completely pretend its not ridiculous for a few minutes. Its actually harder than it sounds.
Veekor Considering he’s a narcissist and obsessed with his self image, I think that encounter was true. It’s humiliating and awkward enough for Bateman to not lie about it. I doubt he would’ve made it up considering how embarrassing the encounter was - especially when his nose starts bleeding and he begins to sweat.
Acting looks easy on screen but this behind the scenes footage really puts it into perspective without all the post production. You're playing pretend and have to create something out of nothing.
this comment should have more likes. people see the finished product and think it's easy to recreate. but you're right they pulled that scene from nothing and the bts shows the nature of that
Many people don't realise how much a films quality lies in perfect cinematography, screenplay and editing. You can make a good performance look terrible if those things aren't done right. Bales performance is amazing but half the reason the movie is so good is because those factors of the process of making it were perfected. Mary Harron and the rest of the crew were masters of their craft. Actors get way too much credit compared to crew.
I worked as audio editor among other things in the tv / movie industry, and it's always funny to see people's reaction to the reality of a movie compared to what comes out on screen.
look so arrogant the motion with his hand. the way he does not that he does it. But then you know he's still in the role + he dont like the smoke. love him
there's 100 production people you never see, a catering truck outside, they do take after take, they cut 90% of it, and they add the audio/crowd noise/music in post-production
Dude, yes. I don't know why that's so. I guess it's cause you realize they're all doing a job, and playing pretend? I think acting itself is kind of awkward. I could never do it.
@@iambored678 also because when you watch the movies you're watching the final product. It's not only about the acting. It's about sound design, editing, camera positioning, lighting, etc. Context matters, and all of those tools help provide context, apart from clarity.
It’s kind of funny how most people forget about sound design and how in most scenes no one is actually talking other than the main cast. Every background extra who looks like they’re conversing or music blasting overhead is just added in post. Most of the time sets are quiet. Even the actors voice might be dubbed over later via ADR.
Amazing how quotidian a scene looks without the theatricals. I wish every single movie had a backstaged-camera version released in tandem with the actual movie.
Bale is f brilliant actor ! In majority of his movies, but ppl and Oscars often care more abt movies coz of good ad campaign&box office, not the movies which are true art. If you didn't watch The Machinist, The Fighter, The Harsh Times - very underrated movie where Bale plays a war veteran with PTSD & he is brilliant - watch it. Really, fantastic actor who isn't afraid to make original choices in his career.
I want that Bale hairstyle but I have no idea how to do it without putting a shitload of gel or wax into my hair. It has that slick back style but without the excessive wet look.
I've read passages and read a lot about its infamy. Totally fair if you can't stomach the violence, but from what I understand, it's not violence for violence's sake. It's to prove a point. I think that justification is a cop out sometimes, but I think it really works well here because he's completely psychotic and the manifestations of his psychoses are so insanely over the top and yet STILL everyone's too busy being self-absorbed to notice. I think it works, but of course, to each their own.
If you look at the comments of any American psycho video you'll find paragraph comments like this one where the commenter really wants to sound posh and like a "supreme gentlemen." I honestly can't tell if these comments are attempting to sound like bale's character or if they just wear fedoras and definitely quote this movie too much in real life.
A lot of the people who go back to scenes from this film do it for analysis because of how well the film was made to convey it's message. They aren't writing paragraphs to sound posh or like a "supreme gentleman" but because they respect the film as a piece of art with meaning rather than just a popcorn flick and because this film makes for a great character study and critique on the yuppie culture.

this really captures how awkward making films feels in the moment
Exactly! It looks sooo awkward! It seems that acting in a movie is extremely difficult

Someone should ask this Bale guy to do another movie, I see potential in him, if only more people knew this guy and his talent.
Equilibrium it's a shame he's so underground he could be a heavy hitter if he tried
Christian bale...man what an underrated actor smh
I've always thought that too. Hollywood really overlooked him. Shame really.
@Stalker always one to get wooshed

I don't know who this Bale is.
But he's going to take a 'trip to Paris.'
Lol, I love it 😉😄
Hasta la vista baby
Wow... late response Mr Bateman but better late than never.wielding the old ax
What was all THAT about back in the mens room? Why'd you leave?
yap, he has some video tapes to return there.
sabrina dont just stare at it. eat it.
