Yes. Ted Bundy did that EXACT SAME momentary "devil eyes" expression when Dr James Dobson asked him about Kimberly Leach. It was that same ridiculous interview where Ted Bundy claimed that p**n made him a serial killer.
I never realized that at the end of the meeting he says he's got a lunch appointment with Cliff Huxtable... that's Bill Cosby's character on the Bill Cosby Show lol
The fact he knows every answer to the questions on Paul, shows how obsessed he was with being better than him. Couldn’t look more guilty if he wanted to lol
The beautiful thing about this scene is that he played it off so well. There's nothing the detective can do to further interrogate him, barring new evidence. As further evidenced by Batemans hand gestures throughout the scene.
He should have just slapped the cuffs on him the second he said "the world just opens up, and swallows them whole" I couldn't imagine a single situation where a person saying that is innocent.
You know, if Bateman wanted admiration and attention, he really should've considered stand-up. I can't tell if it's accidental or on purpose, but he's strangely hilarious.
It reminds me of every single talking head I see saying the words "social distancing." Every time I hear "social distancing," or "contact tracing," I see Patrick Bateman's smiling face.
The director had Defoe play each of Kimble's meetings with Bateman in three different ways: first that Kimble knew that Patrick had done the killings, second that he didn't know but suspected, and third that he didn't suspect Patrick at all. Those three takes were cut together as one scene. It's especially noticeable at 4:53. His demeanor changes between the cut to Patrick then back to him. The purpose was to keep the scene extremely tense yet completely uncertain for the audience.
It's always makes me laugh how he hides the stuff in his desk hoping Kimball won't see it and when he nearly freaks out that there is no coaster under the glass of water.
Interesting trivia on this scene, Kimbel actually acted out this scene 3 times, one neutral to Bateman, one suspicious of Bateman and one sympathetic. And afterwards they mixed them all up.
It complements the psychotic, "out-of-touch with reality" theme of the character that is Patrick Bateman. Since Bateman is progressively going insane, or psycho, as the film progresses, he looses sight of the situations he may (or may actually not) be situated in.
+Chris Basically Bateman feels like he's getting interrogated and feels nervous, so he suggestively accuses Kimball of examining him (too harshly) to have him back off a little. When Kimball asks if (and why) Bateman might feel like he's being examined, Bateman realizes that he doesn't want to look nervous and backs off. Saying that he doesn't feel like he's being examined at all, even though he just asked about it in the first place. Basically Bateman acts very oddly in his anxiety.
He's actually just a really paranoid defensive person, desperately trying to be best and noticed; as he isn't the most social person, dismissing people he runs into in public. We're seeing the point of view of Patrick during the interrogations, he's interprets these simple almost meaningless questions way serious. It's what happens in psychosis, you can't make any type of productive social contact, you're mad at the most dumbest things and you take everything personal even though what you're angry over is meaningless. I suffer from the same thing, it's a bad experience and requires five medications a day just to keep me stable aka "normal"..

Fun fact: Dafoe's scenes were recorded in 3 different styles to confuse the audience: 1. He was in love with Bateman 2. He had to take a fat shit 3. He had reservations at 4 Seasons in 20 minutes
One small art direction touch I always loved was the obviously fake city background. The camera is angled up but the buildings slope down in every office scene in an unrealistic way. And the lighting is so theatrical and clean it all feels like a poorly constructed theatre play, which I took to be a metaphor for Bateman's entire life in the office
From him being completely feeling that 80s R&B, pretending to be on the phone, faking every part of the conversation, the director puts us in Patrick's shoes, so you feel like Kimble is on to you but he really isn't at all. So brilliant, I can't believe Christian Bale actually played this role, he's a completely terrifying psychopath
It's certainly a strong argument for the effectiveness of method acting, though I've only read he's a method actor and don't know what particular means of getting into character he used for this role.
i really can't believe this only hasa 68 on rotten tomatoes.. This movie has one of the most effectively suspenseful and interesting atmospheres and twists. Seriously one of my favourite movies ever
Bernard It doesn’t conform to the norm of successful movies, which is a real shame since it’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen. To idiotic critics however, it was too violent and confusing to be a “good” horror film and not artsy enough to be a “good” film in general. It certainly is bigger than anything normally presented in film though, and really surpasses most films in the genre.
This shit was criminally underrated. Everything about this film was, in my humble opinion. Casting was near perfect. William Dafoe is 99.7% flawless in most everything. And Christian Bale is spot the Fk on here.
I love how barren and "sloppy" the set design is in this movie. Really nails in the theme of a psychopath - putting on a mask of charming normalcy that seems somehow off to onlookers, but they can't name a particular thing that's strange. Just that the overall arrangement is off.
@@yeezyszn7208 Hey there mate, you seem to be speaking pretty lightly about something you clearly do not suffer. Maybe try being quiet yourself?. Thanks.
While it might seem like a lot of this movie is Bateman's imagination, I think he really did do all of those despicable things but the yuppie culture he exists in is so self obsessed and convoluted that he simply gets away with it all.
@@crossfadeSB7 Good eye, that's subtle. I had noticed the scribbles but not in that detail with the chainsaw and writing. Now I feel like watching it in full screen again to look for more details I might have missed.
Yeaaaaah I loved it too ! His ''thanks !" is already brilliant but the forced going back to a serious expression is amazing, he's just acting so well the dude who acts bad. And Dafoe facing him is awesome too, this whole "Hmm, nice, very nice... Thanks !" exchange is an anthology of acting.
I love how Patrick Bateman's idea of 'looking busy' is rambling on about suits and tipping instead of, well, literally anything else relating to his job. Come to think of it, what is his job? EDIT - wow, I forgot this comment even existed. Now UA-cam notifies me only now of the latest comment 2 years after and i find this is probably my highest comment ever. Thanks to all you guys out there...
"Now, John...you've got to wear clothes in proportion to your physique. There are definite dos and don'ts, good buddy, of wearing a bold-striped shirt. A bold-striped shirt calls for solid colored or discreetly patterned suits and ties...And a shirt with a high yarn count means it's more durable than one that doesn't..Yes, I know...But to determine this you've got to examine the material's weave....Tightly woven fabric is created not only by using a lot of yarn but by using yarn of high-quality fibers, both long and thin, which...yes...which are...which fabricate a close weave as opposed to short and stubby fibers, like those found in tweed. And loosely woven fabrics such as knits are extremely delicate and should be treated with great care...Right, and ...yes, John, right. And...yes, always tip the stylist fifteen percent...No, the owner of the salon shouldn't be tipped...The girl who washes the hair? It depends. I'd say a dollar or two...Depends on what she looks like....And yeah, what else she washes...Listen, John I've to go. T. Boone Pickens just walked in...Just joking...No, don't tip the owner of the salon...Okay, John...right, got it. Sorry about that."
The first 30 seconds of this scene beautifully illustrates all the hard work and dedication required for Bateman to move through the ranks and ultimately become Vice President of his father's company. Very impressive!!
When I watch this movie all the way through, a lot of the comedy flies right over my head, but when I come back and watch parts of it, I realize how hilarious it is.
Its crazy looking back at this now after the roles they've been in, we got Bale who was Batman, Dafoe who was Green Goblin, and they're talking about the disappearance of Jared Leto who played The Joker lol.
All I can think is Batman talking with the Green Goblin about the disappearance of the joker!!! Also want to commend the writer on being so true to the novel in the dialogue.
I just noticed something. All the 'VPs" have the same clothes, same hair style. You can't tell them apart from the back at all, which I guess is the point. They're all interchangeable with each other.
manco82 that’s why people like Kimble confuse them, they even get confused themselves... Paul Allen confusing Patrick with Halberstrand, and Steven Hughes confusing Paul with Herbert Ainsworth
I really feel that the best parts aren't when patrick is killing or screaming his head off. The best parts are the very small tiny details of Patrick's insanity. Like when he says "thanks" over his area, it's almost like you can't tell if this is a superficial emotion, or if this is a real genuine pride shifting back to cold calculation. I think the abrupt shift means he was slipping into real human emotion and i think that's why honestly, it's the crispest, most pleasant "thanks" I've ever heard. It both tickles my brain and scares me at the same time.
Honest to god my favorite scene in the movie by far. Everything he says and does and his small changes in expression shows very well even when he's not on the prowl he's really not quite right in the head. Lying at almost every turn in a conversation that was meant to be deceptive from the moment he realized he couldn't just make the detective go away. The immediate and clumsy maneuver he does the second he notices the detective looking at the porn magazines and Walkman on his desk and the part where his expression goes from beaming to dead serious right after the detective compliments his housing showing he was either genuinely pleased by someone being impressed by one of his status symbols or reflecting the detectives expression of brevity and friendliness due him not having the emotional aptitude to actually have those feeling in that context.

Christ died for your sins and rose on the third day, showing that anyone who trusts in him for salvation, will have everlasting life.
(John 11:25-26) "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
(John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Fun fact: Dafoe's scenes were recorded in 3 different styles to confuse the audience:
1. He was in love with Bateman
2. He had to take a fat shit
3. He had reservations at 4 Seasons in 20 minutes
One small art direction touch I always loved was the obviously fake city background. The camera is angled up but the buildings slope down in every office scene in an unrealistic way. And the lighting is so theatrical and clean it all feels like a poorly constructed theatre play, which I took to be a metaphor for Bateman's entire life in the office
The fake background becomes very apparent in the scene when Patrick confesses to his lawyer
From him being completely feeling that 80s R&B, pretending to be on the phone, faking every part of the conversation, the director puts us in Patrick's shoes, so you feel like Kimble is on to you but he really isn't at all. So brilliant, I can't believe Christian Bale actually played this role, he's a completely terrifying psychopath
It's certainly a strong argument for the effectiveness of method acting, though I've only read he's a method actor and don't know what particular means of getting into character he used for this role.
R&B? Ehh
@@Hextator his own personality Bateman then Batman now Chaney he's great at playing phychopathic people
@@Hextator he said in an interview he based the character off of Tom Cruise
Lady in red is more soft rock than r&b
i really can't believe this only hasa 68 on rotten tomatoes.. This movie has one of the most effectively suspenseful and interesting atmospheres and twists. Seriously one of my favourite movies ever
Bernard It doesn’t conform to the norm of successful movies, which is a real shame since it’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen. To idiotic critics however, it was too violent and confusing to be a “good” horror film and not artsy enough to be a “good” film in general. It certainly is bigger than anything normally presented in film though, and really surpasses most films in the genre.
@@Koifishie222 sad truth
The Last Jedi has like a 90 on Rotten Tomatoes. That site is a joke. A bad, desperate joke.
Khajiit Thundercat wow I didnt know that. For me rotten tomatoes Is a joke from now on.
darklordster What...?
This shit was criminally underrated. Everything about this film was, in my humble opinion. Casting was near perfect. William Dafoe is 99.7% flawless in most everything. And Christian Bale is spot the Fk on here.
The purest and blue perfomance of William Dafoe
I don't think you can call it underrated anymore. The memes alone from the past 10 years have given it life.
I love how barren and "sloppy" the set design is in this movie. Really nails in the theme of a psychopath - putting on a mask of charming normalcy that seems somehow off to onlookers, but they can't name a particular thing that's strange. Just that the overall arrangement is off.
There's an amount of unresolved tension in this scene that's too much for my anxiety. This movie is a piece of modern gold.
The exhalation they sound in the background when he asks certain questions really adds to the tensions.

eerie, really eerie.
I read this just before he said it and then I thought to myself... eerie. Really eerie.
I remember Dafoe's look lol
Eeerie music started up in the background...
What do you mean Yale thing?
ebolaKuriboh I read your comnent 2 seconds before he said that! '......eerie
I love how he says you’ve got to wear discreet ties with bold pattern shirts, and at the same time wearing both extremely loud shirt and tie.
"I have a lunch meeting with Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons" had me rolling.
3:49
Dafoe is seriously amazing in this movie, the delivery and facial expression makes me feel nervous in my seat
amazing. notice how the background sound gets louder at that moment aswell
Yeah, who’s the real psycho here?
Isn't he amazing in every movie?
Also at 5:00
Kimble is an amazing troll in this scene, so so good
How is he a troll?
he knows Bateman is being liberal with truth/being fake but Kimble goes along with it
While it might seem like a lot of this movie is Bateman's imagination, I think he really did do all of those despicable things but the yuppie culture he exists in is so self obsessed and convoluted that he simply gets away with it all.
Agreed
He didn't kill the guy in his apartment though.
The cast in this movie was perfect
I burst out laughing when he quickly shoved his porno mags and Walkman in the draw 🤣 1:40
Pause that part. He drew a shotgun, a knife and a chainsaw, wrote "DIE BITCH" and crossed out the eyes of the girl in the cover.
@@crossfadeSB7 Holy shit that's subtle as fuck, you're probably the only one to find out about that one
I think they're fitness magazines
@@crossfadeSB7 Good eye, that's subtle. I had noticed the scribbles but not in that detail with the chainsaw and writing. Now I feel like watching it in full screen again to look for more details I might have missed.
Love the slight change in Bale's expression at 2:57 just before it cuts
Yeaaaaah I loved it too ! His ''thanks !" is already brilliant but the forced going back to a serious expression is amazing, he's just acting so well the dude who acts bad. And Dafoe facing him is awesome too, this whole "Hmm, nice, very nice... Thanks !" exchange is an anthology of acting.
Me too!
@@EugeneOneguine interesting observation. It's little sprinkles like that example which adds substance, just like a bass guitar in music
damn, thanks. I missed that detail before!
For some reason I found that as the funniest part throughout the whole film haha.
A dark movie that changes to a comedy after you've seen it a dozen times. After that you start to realize that Bale is a damn genius.
Great scene, I love how the power keeps exchanging between the two. Keeps the audience hooked
I love how Patrick Bateman's idea of 'looking busy' is rambling on about suits and tipping instead of, well, literally anything else relating to his job. Come to think of it, what is his job?
EDIT - wow, I forgot this comment even existed. Now UA-cam notifies me only now of the latest comment 2 years after and i find this is probably my highest comment ever. Thanks to all you guys out there...
His dad is the CEO his "job" is being there
He doesn't even know lol
Murders and executions mostly
@@connorchapman1232 underrated reply
Nathan Francis it’s intentionally kept vague.
"Now, John...you've got to wear clothes in proportion to your physique. There are definite dos and don'ts, good buddy, of wearing a bold-striped shirt. A bold-striped shirt calls for solid colored or discreetly patterned suits and ties...And a shirt with a high yarn count means it's more durable than one that doesn't..Yes, I know...But to determine this you've got to examine the material's weave....Tightly woven fabric is created not only by using a lot of yarn but by using yarn of high-quality fibers, both long and thin, which...yes...which are...which fabricate a close weave as opposed to short and stubby fibers, like those found in tweed. And loosely woven fabrics such as knits are extremely delicate and should be treated with great care...Right, and ...yes, John, right. And...yes, always tip the stylist fifteen percent...No, the owner of the salon shouldn't be tipped...The girl who washes the hair? It depends. I'd say a dollar or two...Depends on what she looks like....And yeah, what else she washes...Listen, John I've to go. T. Boone Pickens just walked in...Just joking...No, don't tip the owner of the salon...Okay, John...right, got it. Sorry about that."
Thanks for the transcript.
Hey
@@tommym321 whatt
Is that from the book? Haven’t read it yet.
1:53. “I see yeah…… Paul’s disappearance yeah.” ROFL
He does such a good impression of a human.
Tell him I'm at lunch!!
Patrick it's only 10:30 in the morning. Lol
Well no shit. You have breakfast in the morning, have lunch in the afternoon, and then dinner in the evening. That made perfect sense.
Green Goblin talking to Gorr about the disappearance of Dr Michael Morbius
Lol
The first 30 seconds of this scene beautifully illustrates all the hard work and dedication required for Bateman to move through the ranks and ultimately become Vice President of his father's company. Very impressive!!
Let’s see Paul Allen’s 30 seconds! I
Bet he can make it to Mars!
"Send him in, I guess."
Gotta love how Bateman pretending to work is him giving fashion advice. And I have to admit it’s convincing.
Also, he can always get you a lime.
When I watch this movie all the way through, a lot of the comedy flies right over my head, but when I come back and watch parts of it, I realize how hilarious it is.
Christian bale is the man.
he is..after seeing this, and "the Prestige" ..he rocketed up to my top 3
he's not just a man, HE'S A BATMAN!
hes not A batman.. he is just batman! its not like there are lots of batmen. There is one batman.. and its him.
BatEman.. guys
OH GOOOOOD FOR YOUUU!
27?
*Takes a look in the mirror, thinks about his job and bank account, sighs.
Seaside Strangler hey at least you aren't a demented psychopath who can never find any peace and hates himself
Oh, and it's fictional character
Luffy san wow you're right, now I feel worse.
Christian was only 25, actually. This was filmed right after he played Jesus in Mary, Mother of Jesus.
Patrick Bateman was also born into wealth unlike you where you can actually become self made my guy. You can do it bro I believe in you
Its crazy looking back at this now after the roles they've been in, we got Bale who was Batman, Dafoe who was Green Goblin, and they're talking about the disappearance of Jared Leto who played The Joker lol.
3:03 pills appear out of nowhere, 4:09 glass dish appears out of nowhere
ME AND YOU CAN RULE THIS CITY BATEMAN
Tremendous 🌴
You and I*
😂 hahaha
“No I can’t take the time off work”.
misery misery misery thats what you have chosen, I offered you friendship and you spat in my face
All I can think is Batman talking with the Green Goblin about the disappearance of the joker!!!
Also want to commend the writer on being so true to the novel in the dialogue.
The Joker? Please, don't embarrass yourself with saying that Jared Ledo could actually play that role.
+Miss Vampirella but he did?
Chris Sloan if you’re a fake fan who doesn’t read comics, then sure!
+Miss Vampirella I'm not even a fan of comics. I just thought you were unaware that Jared Leto was the Joker in 2016 in Suicide Squad
Chris Sloan not the real joker.
Patrick hired this guy to make him feel like he actually killed paul Allen.
😮
The thumbnail is forever cursed to me bc I’ve seen the buff version too many times
I love the fact that Bateman smiles at the compliment of his home lol
I just noticed something. All the 'VPs" have the same clothes, same hair style. You can't tell them apart from the back at all, which I guess is the point. They're all interchangeable with each other.
manco82 that’s why people like Kimble confuse them, they even get confused themselves... Paul Allen confusing Patrick with Halberstrand, and Steven Hughes confusing Paul with Herbert Ainsworth
Bryce is the only one who looks different
This is a deliberate, running joke in the book and movie.
Nice one columbo 👍
Willem's performance honestly is great here
Norman Osborn interrogates Bruce Wayne on the disappearance of Dr. Michael Morbius
So what's the topic of discussion?
The disappearance of Paul Allen
nothing big deal, just you put an axe on Paul Allen's face.
well wtf were you doing down here???? watch the fucking video!!
Such a clinical sentence. It's a perfect line for Patrick Bateman to say.
I hope I'm not being cross examined here.
1:34 when you have to friendly introduce yourself but you’re dead inside.
Everytime 😩
I really feel that the best parts aren't when patrick is killing or screaming his head off.
The best parts are the very small tiny details of Patrick's insanity.
Like when he says "thanks" over his area, it's almost like you can't tell if this is a superficial emotion, or if this is a real genuine pride shifting back to cold calculation.
I think the abrupt shift means he was slipping into real human emotion and i think that's why honestly, it's the crispest, most pleasant "thanks" I've ever heard.
It both tickles my brain and scares me at the same time.
Green Goblin interrogates Gorr about the death of Morbius
Listen you'll have to excuse me....I've gotta return some video tapes
2:54-2:57 makes me laugh so damn much
It's like an L.A. Noire cutscene.
Every cs go teammates
"nice cock"
@@yamd8114 2:57
Amazed that this film survived the test of time, its 2021 and still its a winner
The way he is just so much more aggressive at parts like 1:39 and 2:24 just make him so much more suspicious 😆
Acting is so good in this movie, flawless everyone
Finally a film where both the hero and the villain look equally creepy!
The part at 2:55 gets me every time. He has no semblance of humanity so he resorts to automatic facial gestures, which have probably been rehearsed
Honest to god my favorite scene in the movie by far. Everything he says and does and his small changes in expression shows very well even when he's not on the prowl he's really not quite right in the head. Lying at almost every turn in a conversation that was meant to be deceptive from the moment he realized he couldn't just make the detective go away. The immediate and clumsy maneuver he does the second he notices the detective looking at the porn magazines and Walkman on his desk and the part where his expression goes from beaming to dead serious right after the detective compliments his housing showing he was either genuinely pleased by someone being impressed by one of his status symbols or reflecting the detectives expression of brevity and friendliness due him not having the emotional aptitude to actually have those feeling in that context.
I love Christian Bale, especially in this movie. He pulls off the sociopathic pathological lying serial killer persona disturbingly well lol
Funny that he doesn't list dorsia among the places where Paul used to hang out
Dorsia? Nobody goes there anymore.
He’s trying to downgrade
