Very nice... Let's see Paul Allen's interview.
Cut to the first shot of Christian Bale in this interview.
Oh my god it even has a watermark

"All gods must die"
In those first seconds we see Bale he really looks like he's going to kill somebody
Dan Reinhardt I thought he still looked like a psycho at first to. Lol
My thoughts exactly. Lookin like he wants to kill a light technician
@@agentjackstone3543 he's not broken character
Most hilarious book I've ever read. I had never laughed hysterically to the point of tears by a book before... It was a laugh riot. Movie is also great, and reading the book AFTER seeing the film, actually made it funnier and gave the experience a big boost.
Tell me about it! I made the mistake of reading it at a coffee shop and I was holding back my laughter with full force!
When he eats the moose out of his hair I had to put the book down so I wouldn't leave wet marks from crying laughing
The fun part is the absurdity
It's amazing how many people don't realise it's a black comedy
When it was funny it was fucking funny lol
God, I always forgot that Bale is English, he does a great American accent as an actor
Not only an American accent, in the movie his specific accent is perfect for the role.
He isn't English. He's Welsh.
@@DenianArcoleo Potato potaato
@@ManicMindTrick no, they're different.
He's a method actor, so a lot of the cast and crew only ever saw him in character during the making of the movie. Then, at the premier, Bale was there as himself and many of the crew from the movie were confused as to why he was speaking with an accent.😂
"The book was called 'misogynistic and cynical'"
"It was a best-seller"
Best part
The minority can have such loud chants they sound like the majority.
"The challenge is thats there's not an obvious plot" easily describes all of Ellis' books
corrected : "the challenge is that i'm a woman."
good call!
As far as the movie goes it’s a story about a tormented psyche whether it be real or conceptual.
Bale is brilliant ever since The Empire of the sun. American Psycho, Machinist, Metroland, DKT, Prestige, The Fighter, Harsh Times - underrated, 3:10 to Yuma - fantastic western, and now Hostiles, what a great actor, really! Kudos! 10:35 - 11:07 ahaha love this entire part
Loved him in American Hustle as well!
10:45
I love his laughter there... so PB
0:36 is he still in character?
Bale is an intense guy. U dont deliver like he does without a certain intensity
@@John-qi9cj Yeah Bale could never have played the soft and meek Luis Carruthers character. The guy is so intense. That on-set screaming session that got leaked isn't too far from Bateman.
Yes i was thinking the same 😂😂😂
Resting psycho face
Great interview imo. I learned the information I was hoping to learn and I got it in such a relaxed and peaceful way. Seriously, I love how chill they all are.
Bale is amazing
Most interrupting interviewer ever
Today we got Piers Morgan
And when he doesn't get an interesting response, he keeps pushing the question.
I thought the same interviewers want to be the stars
@@lev3067 the very worst
Charlie Rose is the true American Psycho :)
Ironically this was not bales career suicide but his rise to success, Bruce Wayne exists because of Patrick Bateman in many ways.
Not at all😂 that would go to Bob Kane and Bill Finger
@@narxyz you think you're real smart with that one do ya, Punk ?!
@@angelo4726 oh no pillsberry doughboy called me punk what will I ever do
@@narxyz who is Pillsbury Doughboy
Edit : even my autocorrect suggested the name wtf
@@angelo4726mascot for Pillsbury, a baking and dessert business
so interesting how bale can talk about a character so distantly when he was the one who played it with good immersion
Amazing to think this was 20years ago.
Great upload, thank you!!! Love your channel!
Saw the movie first and loved it. The book blew my mind. Bale is gorgeous and was the perfect person to play Patrick.
Charlie Rose: Yeah yeah yeah, but what about the violence?
13:35 THANK GOD she directed this film without all that unnecessary studio intervention 💯
Three creators of American Psycho with a real life American psycho!
Just here as I'm doing some research for a A.P. podcast. Thx for uploading.
so awesome that a woman directed it
almost no male director would've got the movie so right, the book is just against the very same that now idolize american psycho because of memes
ya men r lik dum
Not sure what you're all going on about
I love American Psycho! I love Christian, but he's kinda terrifying. That glare @ 0:34, he's not a guy you'd want to be in the same room with when he gets mad lol
the movie is amazing , one of the top 5 ever to me
Any movie lover or even any story lover knows it’s not about the violence. It’s a very compelling depiction that balances between fiction and non-fiction. Personally I find humour in absurdity so naturally I enjoy this storyline. I can empathize with someone who maybe doesn’t feel that way and can be distracted by the violence but the movie is better if you can disconnect yourself from social norms.
Bale should have gotten an Oscar for playing Bateman
The one main scene for me that casts doubt as to wether it was all real or not, was when Bateman is dragging Paul Allen's body through the building's reception whilst leaving a huge trail of blood as he does so, and nobody says anything.
In fact, from what I remember ... in the next scene Bateman is putting the body into the Taxi trunk and the blood trail has then magically disappeared.
SAME, it was so out there there’s no way the people around didn’t notice
The book gives clues that Bateman doesn't actually murder anyone, he is playing out the scenarios in his mind. There are actually more scenes in the book that should have made the film but would have given Batemans mental psychopathy away.
there's quite a bit of this in movie and book . director annoyingly tries to slant the viewer toward interpreting these would be gaffs as grotesque male privilege - if you tip the matre de you can do whatever you want sort of thing . which makes it seem like she could be jealous of such a dynamic that is not present in the context she creates . then she tries to save her artistic integrity by including the other overly ambiguous lawyer/bateman phone call where the lead is told that he has indeed imagined it all . which she tries to hijack again by callously implying all of these men look so similar and are so blind that they wouldn't be able to positively identify one another without taking the other's word for it .
The Paul Allen murder was so deeply disturbing l was compelled to have my axe chrome plated.
Bret always says, “I think” and “I don’t know” the same way in every video I see him in 😅 but I love em
its almost like christian bale didnt break character
Why Patrick Bateman is acting almost like Christian Bale in this interview ?
11:53 I just realized that Bale would be a great casting choice for HP Lovecraft
He would be great Marcel Proust.
i like huey Lewis.
I'm glad the first question was if the author liked the movie because that was my biggest question lol
No way, the card scene lmao
This cannot be the same charlie rose that is supposedly one of the greatest interviewers ever...
At least he lets people talk.
He always sucked. His show was good because he had great guests in long form interviews.
@@sarahs2288No he doesn't, that's why he's terrible
0:36 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bale's voice sounds like a hot chocolate. And his native accent is so sexy. He is sexy ! His wife is one lucky woman... I remember when in the inerview for some magazine, it was GQ probably, Bale was asked how his wife endures his constant, acting transformations and his answer was she is great, she is very understanding etc., but also, that she got to sleep with so many different men (meaning his roles) - and it's so so hot ! I also read they actually eloped and got married shortly after he finished shooting American Psycho - never knew he was such a romantic in private life!
Onnng like gaaaawd sip hot like. Christian bake is Amazon in good and me assess 😍😍
it is shocking that anyone could read the book and not see the satire
I think why people believe it was a dream or all in Bateman's head is because there's a scene where blood is missing where there should be blood. From this interview it sounds like this continuity issue was unintentional.
The book gives clues that Bateman imagines each murder and his psychopathy is mental.
Corsica’s booked
Has there been a satiric novel about the hipster era, that 2004-2008 time before people started mocking hipsters and everybody who was cool read Vice magazine? I find it to be such a great landscape for an American Psycho type satire.
3:33 What is Charlie saying here?
Josh Barnes He says "Just to make a quick reference here, Bonfire of the vanities"....
what is his psychological motivation, it's a valid question.
I think one reading of the film is to look at Bateman as an more of an avatar for the attitudes and beliefs of the yuppies he's a parody of. In that reading, motivation in the deeper human sense (something informed by your beliefs and past experiences) doesn't really apply. But that's just my take
@@henryschneider9101 sorry but your response makes no sense. If he was a 'just a yuppie' then he would be happy with this lifestyle, and revel in it..... but he is not, just like Scarface for example. he is much more of an 'anti yuppie' if you really take the whole story into consideration. If Bateman is wicked and evil, then so is Scarface, and so are all the politicians and presidents who have ever engaged in war. And to be honest, I don't find the story of Bateman funny at all. - the story of bateman is sad he is confused and feeling guilty about something, and that propels his actions as a misguided and cnfused form of catharsis. He is a victim, and so are his victims. Whoever lies at the top of this chain is the real American Psycho, and that is Bret Easton Ellis and the rest of his pseudo intellectual shit author generation
that he’s a psychopath… hence the name american psycho
0:36 bahahahah his Paul Allen is showing
leonardo di caprio does look a bit like the person on the book
Celebrity media has really elevated our perception of actors. This interview perfectly captures the fact that Christian Bale is completely out of his depth when compared to Mary or Brett. Christian, without direction, sounds like a kid at the grown-ups dinner table.
I will never understand some idiotic haters of Bale here. Brilliant actor. Did you watch The Fighter 2011, Harsh Times - should be more respected, Bale was fantastic in it, Prestige or 3:10 to Yuma? plus watch interview Bret did for Larry King in 2016 - hilarious creepy and brilliant Bale was& movie also, according to Bret czcams.com/video/dNOLYL8q9yw/video.html
Why is this interviewer always interrupting everyone? Jesus
Even when she was explaining the ending, I really wanted to hear more smh
Lol Easton Ellis has such exaggerated mannerisms.
I've heard that Bret didn't like the film, strange
not true, watch interview Bret did for Larry King in 2016 - hilarious creepy and brilliant Bale was& movie also, according to Bret czcams.com/video/dNOLYL8q9yw/video.html
He likes it, he just maintains that it didn’t need to be a movie. It’s not a book that can be adapted into a conventional film without sacrificing quite a bit and watering down many elements. As a result, it doesn’t _really_ capture his own sensibility so well, but it does a great job transforming it into something more unique. Conversely, Rules of Attraction is the movie he considers the best adaptation of his work, because it manages to successfully capture his voice and his style in a way American Psycho’s movie didn’t. The flipside is that Rules of Attraction maybe isn’t quite as strong or as tight of an actual *movie* as Harron’s adaptation (even though I love it and agree with his sentiments that it’s the best adaptation of his work).
Lol they all look so comfortable yet nervous here I love it not so shappy hahaha 😂 ;3 ♡ uuuf Xd
The book gives clues that Bateman doesn't actually murder anyone and is rejecting the reality he lives in by playing out each scenario in his own mind. His confession on the answering machine and empty apartment belonging to Paul Allen give clues that he believes that he committed the murders but is left unsure if he actually did. His lawyer treating the confession like a joke and telling Bateman that he isn't capable of being a murderer, that he is in effect, a pussy.
The interviewer is awful
Huh
charlie rose is so annoying here... glad he's cancelled!
How ironic that this film is a critique of the type of male behavior that has been alleged against Charlie Rose.
Ah shit he's british??
Wow she ain’t coat hanger worthy
Has Bale been living in Hollywood the last 22 years? Because he's lost much of his accent.
comedy? so american 🤡
"typical of male behavior" - bleck - sexist much ???
just go ahead and say it , mary - "all men are fools."
love "feminists" that can't get off the ground without climbing on a man's back .
or two in this case .
come on the movie wasnt that funny... maybe subtle humor but not full on comedy
It was LAUGH RIOT 😂
I agree, the movie isn’t funny at all. The book is funny at some points but never had me rolling on the floor about to piss my pants laughing like some people say.
@@thecookj454 yeh its not the rofl kind, its more playful while trying to be serious. its a good movie
@@myfriendisaac what part did you think was funny?
Both the novel and movie are laugh riots.
czcams.com/video/n2fJxoTUnT8/video.html she says here the film may have been better 5 to 10 years after it was made. I think that is incredibly insightful, and today it's obviously become very popular.
