Do you like Kino Corner? His early work was a little too normie for my tastes, but when Drive (2011)| Literally Me came out in '20, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole channel has a clear, crisp humour , and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the videos a big boost. He's been compared to the needle drop, but I think Kino has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '20, Kino released this, “Literally Me”, his most accomplished series. I think his undisputed masterpiece is, “American Psycho|Literally Me ", a video so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the narration. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about Kino himself.

I would also say that Patrick Bateman has become a literally me character due to how relatable it is in how he is basically not allowed to be himself to anyone. I think a lot of people feel a bit suffocated by how its expected that everyone exercise the same peppy all smiles professional personality while out in public and if they express any real emotion, opinion, or behavior then they suffer the consequences, be it unemployment or being slandered.

@@bumblingdolphin9281 This. While we do live in an age where trying to express yourself is punishable, Patrick Bateman literally goes around killing people. It's like a dark parody of a fragile male. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm not a vulnerable person, but Patrick Bateman is vulnerable to a degree that's unjustifiable because he's horribly violent. This is not a Literally Me character, this character is a type of obstacle for many Literally Me characters. Violent psychopaths who take their frustrations out on innocent people that don't deserve it. Sure, fuck Paul Allen, don't care how illegal his death is, but all the women he's killed really didn't deserve it, and his true intention is revealed. His self-expression is at the expense of others to the point that others can no longer express themselves, because they're literally fucking dead. Patrick Bateman puts others down. He's an evil person. There is no way to genuinely relate to him, especially because he makes it as clear as possible at the start of the movie that nobody can be like him, and he has no true self expression or deep message. He is a void. He is unfeeling. Sure, he expresses emotions, but look at any depressed person, they can laugh or cry but if you ask them to describe how they feel, they will say that there's nothing there. They can laugh, but there's no happiness in them. They can cry, but there's no true genuine sadness in them. No matter how "relatable" he might appear, he ultimately isn't relatable, because everybody and everything is a target for him. He's a true, genuine predator looking for some meat. He's not a Literally Me character. He's the antithesis to a Literally Me. He's the unfeeling void that bullies others and kills them, while Literally Me characters are typically victims of bullies and empty people and fight back against these types of people and concepts.

Really not sure how you relate this to cancel culture? You say its “relatable” he cant be himself, but he makes it pretty clear hes an empty husk who just wants violence, so if you relate to that get therapy maybe? He murders his co worker, like i really dont think hes too concerned with losing his job and getting “cancelled”. He pretty much says he dons the fake/peppy persona because without it theres only a void, and its like a predatory tactic to get close to people. He has no suppressed personality, because he has no personality to begin with But that being said, however, the movie itself does certainly make that case. Like you didn’t get a message that wasn’t there, it just wasn’t something Bateman himself was concerned with. Maybe thats all you were saying haha

I think something that makes people with repressed emotions relate to him is the way he masks around people, how he says the right thing at the right time with the right tone to create the impression he wants (at least if we take what happens in the movie at face value). Men tend to repress emotions a lot, but when I first watched the movie, I related to him as an autistic woman because of that ability to mask and how truly hollow he is as a person beyond the bloodlust and masking. Pretending to be someone you aren’t to survive in society can truly leave you feeling like that, and you don’t often see main characters that mask like Bateman does

I think Bateman is so Literally Us because he's so up front about how false he is. We feel how corrupt, upsidedown and inhuman society is and we are drawn to these sick satirical depictions that represent this to the fullest. But even more, we have dreams which cannot be quenched in such an environment, a 9-5 in the claustrophobia-inducing corridors of an office under bright sterile florescent lighting. We want to transcend our society just as Bateman wanted to, this desire so burning yet he found, unfulfillable, that he was forced into a psychic split, his only outlet his journal where his dreams for being distinct from those around him took on a distinction of a rabid violent and sexual nature. The mask that Bateman had to wear day in and day out, the hip safe mistakeable Clark Kent NPC persona, saying all the right things and emoting at all the right times, is the same mask we feel we will have to wear if we hope to fit in...and, we Batemen... we're not sure we want to.

At the beginning you mention that the novel reads out like Baetman's diary. Having battled severe depression myself, I had a notebook that I usually wrote my twisted thoughts, and it contained a lot of murder. It's just when you are overloaded with all kinds of thoughts and emotions, all that stress builds up as anger and violence. Although one point seperating my and Baetman's twisted fanfictions is that mine focused more on the emotional side of the death and how and why it would make me feel, while Baetman is just fueled with bloodlust. And that's what seperates the "normal" human from a "psycho".

I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.

I may come back and edit this comment when I finish the video but… I like the some kills are real but some fake take. However, I want to argue that the Paul Allen kill being real theoretically makes the social commentary in the film (I haven’t read the book yet, but it’s on my list) more interesting. The way I see it, if the Paul Allen murder was real then that holds the implication that his landlord discovered the bodies and cynically decided to dispose of them so to not tank the property value of prime real estate- which I think adds a lot to the criticism of yuppie culture and the upper class, with the maintenance of looking good and having monetary value and status being valued above solving brutal murders in this case. Side note I’m really enjoying this analysis!

In terms of the hallucinations/ "did he actually kill anyone" - almost all the weapons he uses have weird incongruities that dont quite make sense, for example: The nailgun he points at the girls head is a pneumatic nailgun, it cannot fire without being attached by a hose to an air compressor The axe he kills Paul with - where are you going to get a chome plated axe in NYC? Did he do the chrome plating himself? Chainsaw- if you let go of a chainsaw it wont keep running Glock- its essentially impossible to blow up a car by firing 9mm rounds at it Point being, all of these scenes are fantasies of someone that has never actually used those weapons.

I'm more of a fan of the book, as the violence does add a lot. It shows the true depravity of Patrick, how completely disconnected from humanity he is. There's also the part where he goes on a vacation with Evelyn, specifically when he stands over her bed, contemplating her murder, but eventually decides to not go through with it. I would like to think Evelyn was actually awake during that part, probably terrified of Bateman. Scenes like this really should've found their way into the movie, because really no part of Bateman's horrific side is actually presented in the movie. All the killings he commits are rather cartoonish, with Patrick being a raving lunatic during them compared to his silent manner in many of the book's murders. The book's representation of his crimes against humanity leaves no room for liking Patrick, which unfortunately many people online actually like him, in which I think this is the movie's fault, because the memes make him to be "Quirky and whacky" because the film makes little effort to show anything other than the comedic side of Bateman. If it made the effort to balance out the comedic and horror sides of the character, the film would've been much better, in my opinion.

American Psycho is my favorite film. I think I must have watched it upwards of 20 times now. I cannot speak for everyone else that enjoys the memes and the "mythos" of Patrick Bateman, but what I find so compelling about Patrick as a character is that his personality as a psychopath oozes out of every moment he is on screen. You can tell exactly what everything around Patrick means to him, how every situation he finds himself in is an exercise in optimizing his appearance to others within the rules of social norm. He is acutely aware of what is "right" and even understands why, however the essence of "right" is secondary, what's important is how he can use it for his own gain. Because everything to Patrick becomes a variable in his "optimization" game, none of it ever becomes real. His apartment is not real because all it resembles is the value that occupies the variable "quality of living place". His suits aren't real because all they resemble is "quality of attire". Even his body itself is not "real" because it is just another variable for him to optimize. Patrick wants to be THE best, the optimal, the most desirable, the most prestigious. The state of the world and society, the current social norms, the current fashion, the high end restaurants, the expensive watches, the expensive apartments, none of it matters and isn't real. The world could make it the social norm to eat dog shit and Patrick would find a way to be the one that eats the most prestigious dog shit. Patrick, contrary to what I hear others say, is not materialistic. He does not care for material things, not really, only by proxy. He doesn't care about spirituality / the metaphysical either, only by proxy. That's why he characterizes himself as an "idea", because there's no way to talk about "Patrick" in a genuine way other than "he wants you to see him as the best one with the best everything". Imagine a scene where a very desirable man has two women over and he eloquently delivers a speech about the musical quality and deeper meanings of Phil Collins songs, as the girls get turned on and start eating each other out, waiting for him to come and pleasure them. That reads like a description of a romantic setting by a very socially maladjusted autistic teenage boy, like something I'd expect Chris-chan to have thought up, and it's almost impossible to imagine EVER taking place. Patrick has this fantasy going on in his head. HE is the desirable man, HE delivers a deep speech about Phil Collins music that displays his sophistication and deepness of soul, HE woos the women because he is just that desirable and they have sex all night. He films these scenarios because that's the real pleasure he derives. watching himself (also why he watches himself in the mirror while having sex) in a narrative that confirms that he is just that desirable. But again, this is so detached from any reality. Concerning whether he actually commits all the evil he does, I think yes. I think he kills for a number of reasons, but that they boil down to either impulsive need to resolve frustration or pleasure, very possibly both at the same time. His rampage is hard to interpret but I again think that most of what happens is real. I find it interesting how Patrick has this completely lost and agonized facial expression, as if it is actually bothered by what he is doing, but I don't think that accurate. I think Patrick knows that the jig is up, that he can't control himself to keep his psychopathy contained and it will lead to his exposure as such. Something that still bugs me is why he choses to spare Jean, and I don't really buy the explanation that she's not shallow like the others in his environment. He was gonna shoot her with a nail gun right up until the moment his lover leaves a message on his phone, putting him in an embarrassing situation in front of Jean, he simply tells her she should leave because he does not think he will be able to control himself. That together with him breaking up with his girlfriend, citing he does not know if will be able to control himself, paints an interesting picture that Patrick does not actually WANT to kill, but is compelled to do it regardless.

I need more videos, Kino. We need a Blue Velvet video (meaning “I” need Blue Velvet). Wonderful job on this video though! Absolutely brilliant as always. I admire your hard work that you put into each video you create. We all appreciate it so much. Much love to you. And very Merry Christmas to you! ❤️

the beginning dialoge was phenomenal ! just one thing, even though many people shared their opinion, they are all a bit different. maybe its such a tiny change we cant feel it, but its there. the different life experiences, the different viewpoints. there was never someone who lived trough the same thing and saw the little detail like you had, thats the beauty of film making (or any art). we get to experience and crawl into someone elses mind for a bit and it triggers something within us. as much as there is a point of this film, everyone can take away their own importance and keep that hidden gem just for themselves, or share it with everyone else:)

I loved this film when I was younger because I always felt like it was a warning about living such a materialist snobby and entitled life
