I absolutely LOVE this movie. So many quotable lines, it's so hilarious. Christian Bale was born to play Patrick Bateman. I don't know how many times I have quoted the Huey Lewis scene to anyone who will listen.

[@lonelydog97]

The Robert Downey Jr clip gets me every time 😂 Also what you said about young guys seeking male validation, especially through drinking and what not, is soooo true. I’ve encountered it so much and I hate it

[@HauntedHippie]

It’s impossible to escape the male drinking culture it’s true

[@westsideweirdo3908]

i had no idea christian bale was so young in the movie. Being 25 now, i also feel like a little baby person so that blows my mind.

ty so much for that Downey clip, made my day !!

[@BB13131313]

I think I'll always be unsure about how I feel about the ending, but I never questioned if it was all in his head.. I just love how Mary and Bale had a vision and knew exactly what the film should be despite a million different road blocks.. I love how Bale passed on a bunch of roles for almost a year knowing DiCaprio would eventually pull out.. I love how the suits wouldn't even talk to Mary after she and Bale got their way, the final product is the ultimate "see I told you so!".. I understand not wanting to take a chance on an unknown actor, but still.. and yes Bale deserved all of the awards.. Patrick Bateman is a great character, obviously not one that should be idolized, but he's simply a riveting and captivating character.. the film is simply lightning in a bottle!

[@ParUhDroyd]

You converted me from team dream to team reality. So much more depth to the story when considering the points you made.

Kylie I gotta say, this has to be my favorite deep dive of American Psycho that I’ve seen. Obviously I haven’t seen every single video available but from the ones I’ve seen, easily the best one. Always love the deep dives. Great work! It was very informative and entertaining.

American Psycho is my favorite horror comedy, I place it at 9 for my favorite horror movies of all time!

[@parthoroy9141]

Awesome Deep Dive, K. I loved "American Psycho" when it came out in the movie theatre; I had just started grad school and remember all of the MBA-type douchebags around town turning into the next Patrick Bateman's LOL. Lots of quotable lines to this day. My sister-in-law lended me her copy of the novel, which was so much more violent and shocking! But the director Mary Harron made the film version her own; much more satirical in nature

[@HauntedHippie]

I think most of us who have been to college have met way too many Batemans

[@MovieFanatic4500]

Yet another fantastic Deep Dive, also, did you know that the movie Rules of Attraction is a mild followup to American Psycho. It stars James Van Der Beek as Sean Bateman, a drug dealer from Berlin, New Hampshire (the character is the younger brother of Patrick Bateman, the main character of American Psycho)

[@EternalLunar180]

I did not thing we would get a deep dive today and on this movie. But like with all your deep dives, I loved it! This movie is incredible and I had no idea that it was based on a book. Learn something new each time I watch your deep dives. I loved your analysis and giving a female perspective on this as I think the only other people I've seen review this movie are filmbros. I may have seen one or two other women who have reviewed this. Thanks again for another awesome deep dive/review Kylie!

[@msalisbury]

I already love this video concept: deep dives into the films that FilmBros think they know everything about, but they’re only scratching the surface (maybe). Fight Club next?

[@HauntedHippie]

Hahahah wait 👀

[@WrestlingandFilmReviews]

I used to watch American Psycho and Halloween H20 for VHS. From those times I also remember Deep Blue Sea. I was born in 1989 and I was 11 years old in 2000, when I saw all 3 movies, I was talking about. 1 movie popped in my mind: Hollow Man (2000), saw that as well for VHS.

[@filmwitchpod]

So glad you came around on this one!

[@jkcrawl]

I have to tell a story regarding the upstaging over trivial bullshit that men do. That scene when Bateman sweats is comical, but realistic. My brother-in-law always tries to reel me in to that competitive bullshit and the last time he did it he was trying to brag about going on vacation and smugly asked me if I've ever traveled. After I told him the furthest Ive been was the Bajamas he hot red and sweaty and angrily asked me how I got there. It was so fucking weird. This dude thinks Im an asshole because I stopped talking to him, but I stopped talking to him because every single conversation was a competition over stupid shit.

[@HauntedHippie]

Hahaha sounds about right

[@anie8148]

Mmmm I’m kinda anti sequel on this one. Feel like it says all it needs to say

[@pattysanderson4437]

That scene where Bateman meets a woman on the street and the crosswalk says DON'T WALK..., WALK still scares me. Great review!

[@TheHorrorMavrik-bt8nx]

Awesome video!!! My ex and i first watched this late one night. We we're both sick in bed flipping around cable and fell in love with it. We probably watched it 10 times over a couple of weeks. Then every time we came across it on tv, we had to turn it on. One day we looked at each other, and basically at the same time said "is there something wrong with us"? Lol. We always viewed it as a black comedy. Bale is just amazing in it. Classic!

[@cavaughngrace1488]

I never even knew there was an American Psycho 2 lol. I'm pretty sure it'll be bad but the only reason I kind of want to see it is because of Mila Kunis. I used to have a massive crush on her ( that 70's show)and I'm curious to see how she portrays a psycho.

[@strummerrr]

Everyone who likes American Psycho should check out Vampire's Kiss (yes, that Nicolas Cage movie).

[@HauntedHippie]

I second

[@shybard]

This movie was neither directed by nor produced by Michael Bay. And it really shows. In terms of the dream or reality debate, it never even occurred to me to interpret it as a dream until I heard people debating it. My first time watching it, I interpreted it as real. And re-watching it, I still can't agree with the dream interpretation. But it probably doesn't matter either way. The commentary, themes, and general message of the movie still remain the same.

[@HauntedHippie]

Bingo

[@hermitboi6622]

Great video. Big fan of the film and book, can’t really see anyone else besides Bale in the role, though Pitt would have been interesting. Cronenberg as director could have been good, but Mary Heron is underrated so glad she got the gig. Also you were a great host and look stunning as always ❤🔥

[@BluRayAddict1]

Great video. This is one of my favorite films of all time. Christian Bale delivers arguably his best performance as Patrick Bateman. It's so quotable and I love the dark humor.

[@ahmedgunner15]

The Patrick Bateman sigma grindset memes are ironically hilarious

[@thomaswoodcock6017]

Great choice for a deep dive this is one of my favourite films 🎥👌

[@persephonestudy]

I remember when American Psycho became popular in 2020. As soon as I saw that it was recurring in groups of sigma men and anti-progressives I gave it the cold shoulder. However, seeing how the film has become popular among feminists and queer people has made me reevaluate it. A film with such a broad spectrum and discussion deserves to be seen.

[@deathfab]

Just enjoy the film and book if you want to or don't if you don't like it. Chill with the bs.

[@jkcrawl]

It's the Fight Club effect "Alpha" male bros who completely missed the point praise it. It's not that the movie is bad, it's that a large portion of its fans are stupid.

Feed Me A Cat

[@tilobutah]

I’ve been meaning to revisit this movie and some else comes up. I have seen it before but that was probably when it came out. Right now I’m debating watching this deep dive before I see it again. I’m just finishing a Holiday vacation. But I feel like watching it anyway, it may help on my rewatch to give me better insight.

[@HauntedHippie]

It would probably help! But it also might spoil some parts of the movie haha

[@tilobutah]

Ok, I broke down and decided to view this deep dive before watching this movie again since it has been awhile. The first thing that struck me that I did not know is that it was directed by a woman. Oh now you’re thinking I’m going to make some comment about women in the work place, bah bah bah. No, damn a women directing a psycho male killing people. Interesting 🤔 Don’t get me wrong in two marriages I do have four sons 😊 such a keen prospective on so many things. Makes me feel I know so much about women. But let’s get real I’m just scratching the surface. 😉 Who directed the movie watching your channel and your deep dives has help me better to appreciate those that contributed to making a good movie and why. I always look at directors as the person looking through the lens of the camera and saying this is what I want people to see. Yes, I feel that watching this deep dive of the film will give me a greater insight when I watch it again real soon. Thanks, great job.

[@getdrippy4416]

Best part is toward the end. He shoots a car (I think it's a cop car) and it immediately blows up. He looks at the gun with confusion. Comedy gold. When I was a kid I watched this as a serious serial killer flick. Even then though, I knew all the wallstreet culture and materialism in the movie was satire. Now I watch it as it's intended, fucking comedy. I read the book as well. And I can see how some people in the early 90's got the descriptive gore comedy of it wrong. Still I have to imagine a lot of these people read these things out of context. I was still on social media when I read it. And I would post little passages out of context intentionally. I'm sure there's still someone out there thinking about "fucking cardboard women." 😎

[@kroagw06]

When it comes to American Psycho, the movie really is the way to go. The book, in my opinion, is way too unwieldy. It’s not bad by any means, but you’re spending 400 pages with Bateman as your narrator, and at a certain point you’re like, “Okay! I get it.” The movie is absolutely true to the spirit of book but feels like a tighter, more easily digestible edit of Bret Easton Ellis.

[@HauntedHippie]

Seems like even Bret would agree with this take

[@kroagw06]

@@HauntedHippie I’d love to see a fan edit of the novel where only the parts of the book that correspond to the movie are included. There is so much great stuff in there, the best stuff in the movie is from the book, but it’s just an exhausting read. A couple of pages of hilarious vapid conversation is one thing… dozens and dozens of it is another 😅

[@borednow5838]

Also this came out same day as Scream 3 in the UK saw them both the same day.

[@mykeadelic]

great deep dive-- awesome clips and thorough research! i feel like fight club is comparable in that a lot of people romanticize the text and don't understand the subtext lol. and a lot of the greatest endings are ambiguous-- some people love to argue for closure, the sopranos has a classic ambiguous ending and people are still arguing about what it means haha. there's a great short story called the lady or the tiger with an ambiguous ending. ambiguous endings. subtext. media literacy is important! there's a great video from final girl studios called Why American Psycho is More Relevant Than Ever (And Why Women Love It), that's the only other video i feel like adds to the conversation in a not film-bro-y way haha.

[@user-zr8nx4wi5p]

I read the novel by Bret Easton Ellis years ago. Found it deeply disturbing. Bret Easton Ellis said it was a polemic against Reaganism. Ellis interviewed guys on Wall Street for the novel -- back in the late 80s. And I remember that Ellis talked about how these Wall St. traders were obsessed with Don the con Trump. And Ellis, as he points out in the interview, said they didn't want to talk about their jobs. But their status, their cars, their homes etc. These guys in the financial sector are very shallow, very superficial. Sociopathic, One could even point out that Patrick Bateman is Don the Con Trump.

Wanna give the musical a shout out too - it’s fun, great poppy score, and the production was bloody but so chic.

My sister got my dad to watch the movie with him knowing anything, he was traumatized

[@anthonywheeler2082]

It doesn't matter to me if Patrick Bateman killed people or not, either way he's still out of his freaking mind haha I recommend reading the book too. It has such a specific feel to it. In the book, Patrick Bateman is more of a concept than a character. The story is filtered through him even though there's not much to him on purpose. It's like he exists and doesn't exist at the same time. That's why I love the line, "I'm just not there" from the movie. It completely captures everything about him in one line.

[@royalhorror]

Finally watched this video. I really enjoyed this film cause of the incredible social commentary and I completely agree , it was only right that a woman directed this cause the scenes involving the female victims had to be weird , imagine if someone like Eli Roth had directed this lol . If there is ever a remake or sequel, either the same director or another woman should be on charge

[@cashthecurator666]

Mary Harron is a brilliant director, I think she did a great job directing this film. It’s so fucked up, but also really hilarious. Then again, I have a very dark sense of humor, so I guess that has something to do with it. I think Patrick Bateman is the ultimate cautionary tale for men. The movie is practically screaming at the audience that you should never admire this guy. As hilarious as Christian Bale’s performance is, I have a really personal disgust for Patrick Bateman. I absolutely despise toxic masculinity, and Patrick is the poster boy for it. He’s an arrogant, pretentious, sadistic, and incredibly pathetic narcissist who struts around to hide how weak he really is. In other words, he’s the perfect example of a toxic masculinity fanboy.

From my experience with people watching this movie, they don't understand what this movie is AT ALL. Not everyone, but certainly most. They expect a thriller/ horror almost, and the tone of it throws them off. What's funny just seems strange or awkward, because they don't know it's supposed to be funny/ satire. 'It was ok' is a very common reaction I get to this flawless fucking movie.

As with all your deep dives, I love just how well-researched these are and each time I watch these I learn something new all the time. I keep forgetting that Mary Harron directed this and wrote the movie with Guinevere Turner. And that the movie was based on a book of the same name. Much like you, I didn't really get it until I watched the movie a second time. I'm so glad you put in the Robert Downey Jr. clip and mentioning male validation cause what Rob says in the clip is exactly how I felt around a lot of the guys I knew. I hated it so much and still hate being around guys like that. It's also kind of funny to me seeing Christian Bale play someone like Bateman and also later play Batman/Bruce Wayne, who would definitely beat the hell out of someone like Bateman.
