Now let's take a look at Paul Allen's interview
He’s busy in dorsia
dorsia on a friday night, how’d he swing that
L O L 😂😂😂😂
My God... the interview even has a watermark...
😂😂
What a great idea to have the author the director and the actor in the same room at once...
True

what if they all walk into a bar

Its morbin time
I had no idea American psycho was supposed to be a comedy. It makes sense in hindsight after watching it. I was laughing more than I thought I should be.
Ofc , the card scene is hilarious
I honestly always thought of it to be partially a dark comedy...
The specific comedy is basically a dark Satire
@@shakedmizrahi1264 I didn't laugh at that, I thought it was supposed to be an explanation of how all the corporate hot shots are essentially the same person.
@@triple7marcThat's why it's funny.
That’s so nice they’re all sitting round a table. Wish they would do more interviews like this now
I know right? Its frustrating watching these old interviews because you'll see from the 60s onward interviews became shorter and shorter. We need so much more longform journalism as well as in depth interviews that aren't just about gossip.
@@Alaskan-Armadillo sensationalist quick bites are more profitable, thats the problem.
People wouldn't be able to concentrate that long
Ever heard of a podcast?
@@andrewcrawford4380 Yeah, your point? It’s nice to watch them being interviewed too which, by the way, you can’t for most podcasts.
Bale's face at the beginning lmao. He looks so evil
He must’ve still been in his role

😂🤣 lol yes
Just found out Christian Bale is British. He has one of the best fake American accents I've ever heard
Welsh

@@lady88569 no, he was born in Wales to English parents and he himself said , "I was born in Wales but I'm not Welsh-I'm English."[
He’s ridiculously handsome, Bale
yesss😫
I still to this day cannot get over the fact christian bale is british. He nailed the american accent so well. I find myself waiting for a slip up. A tiny peak of british accent coming through to no avail! brilliant brilliant actor
I mean, he does slip a little bit when Patrick calls his lawyer at the end of the film and somewhat early in " Batman Begins" but it`s barely noticeable unless you`re really listening for it.
@@aspieanarchist5439I find that british people can imitate a standard american accent with relative east and americans can imitate a british accent as well

Thanks m8
Thank you. ❤
so it’s not just me lol
I just found out today that he is British
THANK YOUUUUUUUY
The book and movie written by people in their early 30s, starring actors all in their mid to late 20s, & directed by a woman in her mid 40s. All together made an excellent satirical film.
what do their ages have to do with anything lol
@@lloydirving6209 it matters because they have different perspectives, a 20 year old will view the book/movie differently from a 40 year old
Not only did he not get stuck playing the villain, he went on to play Batman, the greatest superhero, in the greatest superhero movies ever made.
And there's a batman reference in the film. It blew my mind lol. Like we really are in a simulation
@@jenniferlane7265 where?
@@anantambisht4895 I don't remember the batman reference in the movie. Having said that, I'm almost done reading the novel & at one point, one of his colleagues calls him "batman!" rather than bateman.

ur really pretty omg
Everyone has an accent
Americans forget that they have accents like the rest of us
@@emberlayne7287 get a gf
Interviews were so genuine back then. It’s all fake these days. All publicity. Miss those old days of film and movies.
.. of course they said that back then, about how genuine the 60s and 70s had been.
it’s all trying to be funny and get viral moments for the internet nowadays
Except Charlie Rose never had the grace to just shut the fuck up and let his interviewees speak
He was just so handsome that year
Dude was 26 here! Cannot believe it.
Why?
god christian bale is fucking fit😭😭
He could always be thinner, look better

I was negative 3.
@@Gselx thank you darling!
@@elansleazebaganno hahaha you weren’t even planned yet
imagine treating Christian Bale like he never mattered to production of the film when he literally made this movie what it is. sure BEE is an absolute genius, Mary made a once in a 100 year movie but they treat Christian likes he's roadkill...Leo couldn't have done it like Christian did and I'm tired of pretending like he could have. BTW Leo turned this down for The Beach. Bale was fucking masterful and he deserves to be praised every second of every day.
Agreed, this was absolutely Bale's role. As though it was tailored for him
I’m fascinated by bales British accent. He does American so well??????
0:35 "I can't believe he had a better haircut than mine" lol
I’m not even fuckin gay but Christ alive Christian bale is attractive as fuck
You are Sir...super gay, ok? 😂
I often forget how drop dead gorgeous Christian was back in these days.
He still is, honestly. No one his age would be dropping weight & gaining it like him and still coming out looking amazing.
Lots of British actors get props for doing "great" american accents, but for a lot of them something almost always seems off, even if its just a certain word they get wrong. But with Bale, I literally didn't know he wasn't American until I was like 21.
Might be because you know they are British prior to the performance so you’re looking for potential flaws
A good example, idk if you’ve ever seen the walking dead, but Rick Grimes is British and most people don’t know
@@XXXTENTAClON227 Funnily enough Rick Grimes imo is the best example of a shitty American accent. I watched walking dead when I was like 12 so I didn't know he was British beforehand but as soon as he talked I knew something was off.
Which was probably yesterday
The majority definitely don’t slip up, it’s just that people have seen them in British films first or heard them first. A lot of the older actors definitely don’t slip up, the majority of America still don’t realise they aren’t American.
That’s one example, you said for a lot of them which isn’t true. If it wasn’t for these interviews, regular Americans wouldn’t have a clue.
“you always laugh at him, never with him” perfectly sums up Patrick Bateman
Bale just oozes masculinity at such a young age. Shame we didn't see much of him in this interview.
Christian Bale is so very talented as an actor hope there are more films to come
The interviewer acts like he doesn't like the violence, but it's all he wants to talk about
i hate this interviewer so much
Its his job. He want their view of things
Bale is one of the best actors..No one else could do this better
Bale really goes from bateman to batman
I also thought it was all a dream in the end. Finding out it wasn't is news to me.
The ending is just ambiguous is not set in stone per say
Christian bale looks pissed
He always does. Lmao
I think it's because he saw how weird Hollywood is
imagine a world where bateman wasnt played by christian bale
No
Utterly insane.
i think they were considering casting leonardo dicaprio, but i may be wrong
@@alexandras18 yes but I'm glad it's Bale who got it
It’s amazing how well he played his American accent considering he is English, props to him
Welsh, but you’ve got the spirit.
@@konradcurze8176 no he is English.
@@konradcurze8176 he was born in wales but has English parents and moved back to England at the age of two. He even said himself that he is English.
@@xplayer4431 no
@@konradcurze8176 bro just replied no 💀
It's funny to think Leo DiCaprio and Edward Norton were close to play Bateman. Maybe Leo would have been too young at the time, maybe Ed would have been great. But Christian was perfect
You do realize that Leo and Christian Bale were born the same darn year? 1974. Age had nothing to do with it. And if it did, Norton would have gotten the role since he’s older than both (born 1969).
@@tromboneman4517 Leo did look like a kid in the 90s /early 00s even though he's the same age. Titanic came in 98 and he did look like a kid, only two years to American Psycho. I know he could have but it would have been distracting to some viewers
Agreed . Ed Nortan would have been interesting he's superb
Christian bale is soo mutch better actor than Leo or Edward
No one else could do this better than him
@@jennyedling3494 Lol bale better than leo? You must be high. Bale is perfect for this role yes but leo has him beat on acting sorry.
“Well, thank you for this interview, I‘ve got to return some tapes”
Bale is so perfect
Hip to be square
Should edit the title to include the writer and the director are inteviewed also, was a much better video having all three of them interviewed.
I came here for christian bale’s voice
Christian bale is still in role in this interview
I really dislike they talk over each other. C. Bale the best.
Back when people could speak without interruption
The interviewer kept interrupting
this is one of the most egregious accounts of interrupting ive ever seen in an interview lol. guy kept putting answers in their mouths before they could even answer themselves
@@Voclain4he did but when you look at today’s interviews, they make it unwatchable with the interruptions

7:17 Patrick Bateman blending in with the skinwalkers nicely
Impressive. Very nice
i’ve seen a lot of interviews of him over the last few years and i’m kind of used to his real accent, but it’s still super weird seeing him clean shaven and younger and not sounding like patrick bateman.
why was it titled christian bale interview if he said a maximum of two sentences
Guess which of the four names is the most recognisable, there's your answer.
20 years later a movie can become memes...men turning to sigma males
2:35 starts laughing like Patrick Bateman.

@@Grizz31 impressive, very nice. Let's see Paul allen's ethnicity
I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st Street, on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do 1, 000 now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
it's like everyday people find out he is British😂, looking hot though
As a young child in the south during the 80s. I had no idea that this kind of materialism existed back then. It didn't make it down here...thank goodness...I love how everyone is a copy and wears the same thing. Everyone remembers everybody wrong it's so great.
Nice slick hair, let's go! 🙏👌👍👋😎
I'd love to see the directors cut!
thanks for having me
I completely forgot he is British! He was perfect for this role. ❤
7:17
"what do you like about patrick bateman?"
"what do i like? um, i like nothing about him i mean--"
like he's so real
Lmfaoo
I kinda see the recent popularity about this film since the movie is timeless in way, that everyone can relate. With the day and age of the internet, you clearly see the patterns.
i don't have any idea how to formulate this properly, just a headcannon of mine
What patterns?
Youre on to something.
Vanity/obsession with self image and perfection, living in affluent age, a widening gap between the rich and poor, neoliberalism and hustle culture, the fear of disease and paranoia due a recent pandemic/epidemic, celebrity culture and narcissism.
There are so many similarities are parallels with the world Ellis paints in American psycho and the world an affluent privilege member of Gen z today might find themselves in
I see it. His skin care routine sounded identical to something from a modern beauty guru
I want to read the book now.
I just read the book last week and I’m still reeling bc of just how wild it is. If you haven’t read it you def should 😭
I can't look at bale without seeing Bateman
I can't believe they noticed the Paul Allen meme in the 2000s 😂
Damn even in 2000 they realized how much of a meme the business card scene was
INTERVIEWER STOP INTERRUPTING BRET LET HIM TALK GOD I HATE IT WHEN INTERVIEWERS DO THIS IF YOU WONT LET THEM TALK DONT LET THEM ON I DONT CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH TAPE YOU HAVE IN YOUR DAMN CAMERA
Charlie rose is the worst interviewer and seducer in the world
I hear Christian Bale with a non-American accent and my brain goes "This is a lie this is fake"
a good interview with christian bale

awww
I never knew Christian was even British
People in 2000: if Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman he'll be typecast as a psycho villain forever!
People in 2019 watching Ford v. Ferrari: oh hey look, it's Batman.
Is that the guy from The Machinist??
He makes a hybrid accent.
Holy shit this interview was done on the day and year I was born
impressive, very nice. now let's see Paul Allen's interview (April 13, 2000)
God, Christian Bale is the number 1 actor I’d never want to be stuck in a room with. Not that I have anything against him at all, he’s one of my favorite actors of all time, but it’s just he gives off such a disappointed father vibe that would just make me feel like a loser compared to him
Ur weird bro if I got the chance to sit with him I'll talk with him the whole day
Back when we thought psychos were rare enough to be funny... You know before online social media where we tell everyone what we think..
Great comment, you are absolutely right. So disturbing in this day and age to be able to see that actually there are so many online and around us everywhere. The nostalgia for the rarity of it was something I hadn't considered nefore, thanks.
That look that Bale gives at :036 is either because he's still in character or he's already suspected that Charlie Rose is a pervert!
Who's Charlie Rose?
Thanks for the upload
I cant believe you guys didnt know he was bri'ish.
@@alskjlskaj 😂
Key words. “In Patrick Batemans head” The killings were all in his head 😶
Finding out Christian Bale is British is just like finding out Santa Clauss isn’t real
this is a great great interview. Even Charlie Rose doesnt screw it up
Thanks for the suporte R van
From Bateman to Batman
I think the movie makes more sense if it was mostly in Patrick Batemans head. If a person is having those dark thoughts as a result of such simple triggers, isn’t he almost as crazy as if he had acted upon those impulses?
I think what makes it works as satire is that you can't know if it was real or in his head.
They say in the movie his dad owns the company so he's a powerful man and a powerful man on Wallstreet could (relatively) easily cover up crimes, and it's just another day of doing of business.
That's why it works as a satire of 80s Wallstreet, a legitimate psycho can fit right in and nobody is the wiser.
The interview of Tom Cruise on Letterman upon which he based Bateman's manner is very interesting to watch. I believe it was Tom's first appearance on Letterman.
23 Years Later: The Sigma Mindset was born
Can that interviewer stop interrupting them? Damn…
Ikr, especially because I'm working on a project and need Christian Bale's voice
Idk where I’ve been but I never ever seen Mr Bale out of character . Therefore I had absolutely no idea that he was an Englishman. My Goodness he is soooooooo gd lookin. I wonder if it’s hard to pick up the accents of American plus all the different accents and personalities of ea state.
imo American Psycho went from a socal comedy to socal critique
The original author hated this director enough to say that women can't direct movies.
his accent is lit so hot 5:02
Darkest character why he's still in the role 😂
