It's why I love this movie and his character.

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.

Fuckin disturbing scene honestly. I think about civilizations like the Roman or British empires. In this scene, and others surely, you can see he believes himself way above the homeless guy, maybe even humanity itself. "You just have a negative attitude, I don't have anything in common with you." Like he's undeserving of the same existence as himself. Don't mean to rant it's just you know its art when it makes you think. The director/writer had something to say.

Ironically like I said it gets more laughs out of me than any other film.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!"....
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
The business card scene is iconic
“Get married,have a wedding”
“No I can’t take the time off work”
Story of my life
🤔
"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…
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 panic when I realise Paul's apartment looks over the park" says the man carrying the dead Paul's body.
I honestly love his little dance that he did before he killed Paul😆😆😆
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.
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?
the relief washes over me in an awesome wave
"Insider trading? Just joking!"
(Totally serious face) "Hey Hamilton, have a holly jolly christmas"
Love that movie hahaha
"...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...?
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"
The long waited part 2
I never realized how hilarious Bale is in a lot of these scenes. It almost comes off as a comedy
"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.
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.
“Let’s get married” “I can’t take the time off of work” 😂😂😂😂
6:10 - the dog whines when Patrick reveals his bloodlust
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.
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
“Great sea urchin ceviche” most underrated line ever
“Your compliment was sufficient Lewis”
