American Psycho - What's the Difference?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2018
- This 4th of July let's take a minute to reflect on how truly Psycho some Americans can be! Bret Easton Ellis' incredibly graphic novel and Mary Harron's just as bonkers adaptation of American Psycho are just as relevant now as when they were made. So with no restraint on spoilers (but some restraint on the gore) it's time to ask What's the Difference?!?

He said rare, not only
Willem Dafoe said they shot that scene of him interviewing Bateman 3 distinctively different ways. One where he's absolutely sure that he's talking to the killer, one where he doesn't have the slightest clue that he's talking to the killer, and one where he's on the fence about it. And they used pieces from every version in the final product. It's fun trying to spot which remarks come from which version.
I once watched the movie at a party after everyone fell asleep, I downloaded it on the party organizers PC. That scene fucked with my head. Thought I was not in a normal condition.
Huh.. Really? Fascinating, that's really cool to know,. Cheers, thanks!
The only one I'd bet on is his "do you feel like you're being cross examined?" both the words and tone, definitely knew there lol.
When I watched that scene my automatic guess was that he knew he was the killer
that explains how fucking weird i felt watching that scene. i thought that the detective was playing some serious mindgames because he seemed to switch moods every cut lmao

Although originally polarizing to audiences and critics alike, it developed a much deserved cult following when released on digital video disc, or DVD. There it found a second life and really came into its own commercially, and artistically.

Known fact:In the book, Patrick endlessly lists and describes his suits, stereo equipment, shampoo & everything else ad nauseum. This often (myself included) caused many readers to skip entire sections out of sheer boredom. This continues until Patrick can’t hold back anymore and starts killing. The murders are shocking, over the top & graphic. But soon enough, these are described as nauseum as well, WAY too over-detailed.
I couldn’t figure out until later that this was deliberate; Patrick’s mundane image-based lifestyle was being juxtaposed with his lust for extreme violence. The point was to Patrick, choosing a Richard James or Hugo Boss suit to hang out at the Yale Club was no different than having a three-way with a model or eating a human brain with expensive mustard. He felt nothing. Along with the fact that he’s a wealthy materialistic investment banker on Wall Street (basically making him untouchable to the law) made him the perfect bad guy, a “Psycho”.
His lifestyle & status are also his prison. He needs, deep down inside, to be caught & known, but knows he never will. Hence the final line in the book “THIS IS NOT AN EXIT”.
Pat meeting Tom Cruise was pretty damn funny though. Should have been in the movie.
EDIT: forgot about this. Christian Bale based his portrayal of Patrick on this. He said it was perfect, “an intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes”.
ua-cam.com/video/Jc1gHIitXg4/v-deo.html
Pauly I did the exact same thing. Entire chapters focused on Whitney Houston, Huey Lewis and Genesis and the constant descriptions of suits and shoes.
Tom cruise has a joyless laugh. Makes sense
well i've watched the movie and have been reading the book, so far what i have gathered is that murder is an escape for bateman. he surrounds himself with people as equally distasteful as him, giving the readers head to toe descriptions, although it is exhausting i do read all of those scenes because he looks at the brands as money and he judges their income based on it. we see a lot more homophobia, sexist, and racial material throughout the book to highlight the the lifestyle of a white rich male in his 20's. in all reality bateman is actually a heavily boring person. No one can remember him and mistake him for others, he's an outcast, i think thats what is so interesting about the novel. hes an outsider. if we were reading in price's pov or Courtney's pov the lack of attention bateman gets wouldnt be as bad with those two. but overall i think both the book and the movie could stand without the other, both classics, both masterpieces.
Easton Ellis confirms that you are meant to start skimming through those passages, not read every word.
Pauly It gets more horrifying when you realize it's transgressive literature and not high-concept symbolism at all. Pat is based on Ellis. At first he couldn't even admit that because it was too horrifying a realization. He said it was easier to displace those issues in himself onto his father and the business world but really Wall-street is just window-dressing here. That's kinda why Pat refers to it as a confession at the end.
I don't think the Happiness Filter is helping. I don't know.
Bryce Mckenzie its making it sooooooo much worst lol
The happiness filter was not funny and was stupid. We're not weak willed snowflakes.
They gotta get that coin
blackrazer22 it’s so they don’t get demonetized by UA-cam.
These are animated scenes. They control how gory they are. They would not get demonetized. There are gorier things on youtube that still get monetized. This is just dumb S**t.
I read that if you know about clothing items you would realize that in the book the characters are wearing combinations that would look ridiculous IRL.
Subjectively speaking, of course.
Yup, because the people in this world don't actually care about looking good, only to be ''hip''.
You forgot to talk about Price. I the movie he's just another one of Patrick's friends, but in the book he disappears really early on (after the club scene) and he doesn't come back until almost the very end. That's because in the book Price symbolizes Patrick's sanity, and he only starts losing it when Price isn't there/ is almost completely back to normal when Price reappears.
I never noticed this, thank you for the insight (and hope you are doing well in the 5 years you posted this comment)!
The book also implies that the violence is all in his head. In the book he keeps taking his bloody sheets to the dry cleaner and the dry cleaner never reacts.
Diane W also he never seems to age although the novel supposedly takes place over a course of 2 and a half to 3 years
As does the movie.
Both are completely ambiguous and clearly state that Bateman is insane, but is he insane for doing these things or for thinking that he's doing them?
Abe Garfield Patrick appears in multiple Brent Ellis books actually, and many books after that one confirm he’s a nutcase
No. Regarding the book, you can make an equally strong argument on both interpretations..
Regarding the movie. The director's intention was that the killings are real and nobody cares..
@MrDX1118 Actually there is a theory that jared leto is actually the Rothschild guy that was mentioned in patrick and "allens" conversations and that the real paul allen is the guy in the back of the restaurant that Patrick says is paul Allen but we're lead to believe that's a lie, but in truth that guy is in fact the real paul allen. Now Rothschild (leto) actually passes himself off as paul allen while the real one is in london. So Patrick ends up killing Rothschild and it just so happens that the cover is that he went to London just like the real paul allen, which is why the lawyer says paul allen is alive, because he saw the actual Paul allen in london.
Do you like Phil Collins?
I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism.
Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
Dedication. Nice
I would disagree with your assessment that the movie has a serial killer in the right place at the right time, whereas the book’s killer was a product of the City and culture. Because the book is longer it can make more time to develop the influence of the city on Bateman. But this is still the same case in the film. Even though it is not as long, the book demonstrates how the culture of NY influences Bateman. His nightly bloodlust flows into his days bc of the hollow characters around him, the inability to get caught, and the lack of morals and subliminal pursuit of wealth and excess.
That and he's an unreliable narrator.
A better argument IMHO would be that a psicho like Bateman would find a welcoming and fertile soil in that specific combination of culture+city+time to not only diguise himself but also thrive behind suits, routines and social conventions
The author specifically said, without being coy, that he didn't know if Bateman killed anyone or if it was all in his head. He's definitely sociopathic and at best has very dangerous fantasies and is perhaps schizophrenic of some kind, but he's also not the only sociopath in his family. One of the scenes left out of the film is his meeting with his younger brother, Sean, who James Van Der Beek played in Rules of Attraction. They're both sociopaths and there's a lot of 'nurture' involved in their personality disorders based on where they grew up and the culture there. And then Patrick may just have a bit more 'nature' in the mix making him even worse...though perhaps never having killed anyone and just bat shit crazy but more or less high enough functioning to maintain the illusion of a normalcy with those around him.
He's definitely one of the least reliable narrators you could ever hope to find.
Thank you Patrick, very cool!
Very nice, now let's see Paul Allen's comments on it.
"that rat was so hungry" is probably the best way to close that video omg. I laughed, I'm a monster
the drill scene is what still gets me. "he felt a need to hurry, and started tearing"
I listened to this scene while running in the early morning. I dry heaved through most of that scene, lol. Still a great book.
I wonder how the “happy filter” would be for all the SAW movies?
Imagine how much more true to the book this movie could have been if it had been made *after* SAW??

@@chadwells2042 Haha that's probably very likely
@@Stigmatix666 there are scenes in the book that are unfilmable. SAW is nothing compared to what happens in this book. Nothing at all.
@@SeanCC I know Saw is tame, it was simply the example I used since most people are clueless about more extreme horror movies than that
The animated Patric looks like Archer.
I mean, if i had to pick an animated character to play Patrick, I'd pick Archer.
Diarra Harris Archers drug fueled rampages and fine suits and luxury items make him the American psycho of spy shows

I've read the book several times, and this is one case where I find the movie to be equal to, and better at some parts, than the novel.
Movie does a good job, but the stomach churning graphic details are missing.
Interesting fact they left out is that in the movie, most (if not all) of his kills are featured in his sketches.
I liked that little bit in the movie. I think it was a good way to show the violence from the book, without playing them out, which I think would have been a bit too much for the MPAA. All in all, one of my favorite books, and for once, a movie adaptation that didn't murder the source material (yeah yeah no pun intended)
IKMNification I feel that movie is a much better story than the book. Maybe the original message is dulled without the grotesque details but what the movie is trying to do is much more effective than whatever the author was trying to do. Not only that but the book was INCREDIBLY BORING. Whether that was intentional by the author or not, it is honestly just tedious to get through the whole thing, where the movie is much more enthralling as a dark comedy.
Fight Club is another one of those movies
Gta? More like Gtgay! the movie better than the book?
The book features a typo, "Daisy, what in god's name are you doing with a stud like Batman?"
(Foreshadowing much)
IKMNification they actually call Bateman "batman" couple of times, it's his nickname.
@@nonespecial200 oh I get it, young rich man by day, dark and violent sociopath by night. Parallels.

3:23 Massive props for including the misspelling of acquisitions on the business card!!
Can you please do one on the book vs. the film of "Hannibal" (the sequel to "silence of the lambs")?
AnnaMGPierce Sounds good
Include manhunter as well
n crocs, that would be Red Dragon, not Hannibal. There are 4 different books.
Or, he could do a review on the entire series
Honestly, the last half of season 3 that covered Red Dragon was amazing. It would be an amazing WTD compared to the "hey, let's only pretend Anthony Hopkins is 30 years younger and 30 pounds lighter" remake.
I would leave a comment but i have to return some video tapes....
i like video tapes, but i'm into murders and executions, mostly.
you work in mergers and acquisitions ?
i like to dissect girls. did you know i'm utterly insane?
so I’ve read the book. And I have to say it is my all time favourite book. The reason for that is that it encompasses the psyche of a psychopath so well. He is so incredibly demented and dark and I find myself frequently captivated by the authors atmospheric sculpturing and the train of thought from this fictional character is so real. In my opinion this will always be Christian bales best performance as an actor as he emulates the character so well. It is a very profound and eerie book discussing themes of american consumerism and obsessions with violence. Patrick Bateman IS American society. It is something rare and special to witness.
I gotta return some videotapes...

Thank you for the happy version! My kids love this video!
Um?
I always thought that the movie adaptation missed out on one of the central themes of the book. The way that all of Bateman's colleagues confuse each other since they all act, dress, and look the same was more important in the book and was less involved in the movie. The rampage scene and conclusion in the movie didn't do the book justice since it misses out on the fact that all of Bateman's crimes were being attributed to Marcus since they both looked the same and were frequently confused with each other. I do think that the movie was great though and the book too is an American classic
Yeah, the super white modern apartment was enough to give me the heebiejeebies. If somebody is that specific about their living space, what's going on in their head? *shudder* If a guy has a huge stack of porn hidden under a tarp when a lady comes over, that totally makes normal sense to me. If a guy has a bunch of video game stuff everywhere, I'm sold. Bateman's place says "Nice and clean", trying too hard to be normal. That scares me.
Jessica Jayes I agree that the apartment was actually better in the movies because it was more alarming
Can't argue with that. I'd love to have a house as clean and tidy as Patrick's. Good luck bloody maintaining that though lol way too much work
In my opinion, the book makes nearly every character a worse person, not just Patrick, but his friends and also some of the random people. But I also felt more sympathy towards Patrick by the end. Yes, he's a horrible person, but he's clearly insane, but can't get any help from anyone. The book also satirizes the yuppie lifestyle much more than the movie. The yuppie lifestyle is what Patrick hides behind, but it might also be a big reason for his insanity.
Fun fact: that scene in the movie where you can see all of Patrick’s disturbing drawings of his murders?
Yeah pretty much all of them appear in the book. And they are VERY. VERY. DETAILED. Like be thankful the guy in this video stopped before he could talk about the rat.
Is funny Because the first Time i saw the movie, i allways mispronunced ''Patrick Bateman'' with Patrick Batman... And then Chris Bale was the lead in Batman Begins. Coincidence?
Nicolás Riveros you're a prophet.
Or just an idiot for getting wrong in the first place!
There are interviews with Christian Bale about that. He was actually chosen for his portrayal in A. Psycho because Nolan wanted a darker version of batman.
Yeah...
I THINK NOT
I hope they make a remake of this movie just so they can cast Glenn Howerton as Patrick Bateman.
I mean to be fair all we have to do is watch Always Sunny since Dennis is definitely a serial killer in that ;)
I'd be happy to watch both Dennis' and Glenn's version
I hope they make a remake so they can include the over the top gory parts.. After the resurgence of splatter films (which people now idiotically refer to as "torture porn") I actually think they could get away with being way closer to the graphicness of the book
It's when batman's parents didn't die and he became bateman
damn the happy fitler made my laugh real hard. "this time theyre pretending the models eyes are birthday candles"
In the 1991 book Bateman idolizes Donald Trump. Nothing about that in the movie...
Bateman actually references Trump a few times in the movie but they're just throwaway lines, I remember a scene where he's in a car with his girlfriend and he gets distracted because he thinks he saw Donald Trump's limo behind them
I think Bateman at least mention's Donald's first wife, Ivana Trump, in the movie as a way of impressing Paul Allen.
Supprised Trump didn't make one of his famous movie cameos in American Psycho.
Donald apparently met the author and there is a picture of them together. The author stated that it was not to make Donald look negatively though. The obsession with Donald Trump is the obsession with a Rich lifestyle and over access that they have. Everyone is trying to be Donald Trump that is why everyone looks the same and dresses the same. My interpretation was it was trying to say that psychopaths are attracted to being powerful enough to get away with anything and they are all pretending to be something they are not anyway.
Therealmadkong great interpretation. This movie is so carefully detailed portrait of the 'yippie' lifestyle. Perfect movie imo.
I like the happy filter. I'm into mergers and acquisitions not murders and executions.
Read this book front to back when it first came out. Wished they would have done the movie in the 90's and have always thought James Spader would have played this role perfectly.
Eric Pitt Christian Bale was already good but James Spader would be waaay more unsettling.
Wish this movie would have been made *after* Saw & Hostel.. Just imagine how much they could have gotten away with in that case, and how much more true to the book it would have been?
I watched the movie because the book is too gruesome. But even the movie makes me sick. Amazing performance by Bale 👏
I had to turn my eyes from the book a few times to calm my nausea but I'm glad I powered through. Great book.
Monica Lawhorn,
It's not an easy read
but more than the violence and debauchery, parts were written to be boring on purpose (usually when Pat's talking about music or fashion) as not to make the reader too fond of Bateman.
A technique I haven't seen before or since.
Fun fact: The book was banned in Germany until 2011 due to being too violent.
@@Donnerbalken28 Germany is heavy on censorship..
@@Stigmatix666 do you blame em though. They don't want another Hitler
That book was the most gory thing I have ever experienced
There were many times I was ready to just stop and not go on. I read it on Audible and it's the most vile descriptions I'd ever experienced. Until Mindhunter, the book that the Netflix series is based on. I know that Thomas Harris had access to the FBI files and much of what he writes about taking place in his books is straight out of actual killers and what they did. Almost to the point of plagiarism. Thankfully Mindhunter doesn't dwell on the descriptions but there's still passages in there that make me think that Bret may have also gained access to the FBI files for research purposes, because some of the killers they caught did things just as vile as *book* Patrick Bateman. Chilling.
@@SeanCC oh jeez that sounds awful. I had to stop reading the book after the car battery scene bc it was too graphic. I cant imagine how graphic the descriptions in Mindhunter are considering what some serial killers do.
@@toxiclaw7591 Lol, there were times I'd be listening during my commute and I'd have to be conscious about the volume. So bad.

Just found this channel, been binging for a couple of days. Excellent
I suggest Forst Gump. Nothing like the movie at all. Or Live By Night. The movie did the book no justice at all.
Having read "Live By Night" I would really like to see a What's The Difference.
jliller The movie left out of key points in the book. Didn't explain his motivations. How he got his connections. When he did time in prison which was a great chapter in the book.
"Your dad practically owns the company I don't know why you don't quit your job"
"Because I just want to fit in"
Nice summary. Would love to see the happy filter on the rat and cheese scene. Also, a lot of the murders he commits in the books are shown as doodles in his notepad.
I rewatched this literally yesterday and went searching out a CineFix What's the Difference video. Guess I was just a day early!
😆 Oh my gosh, I LOVE the Happy Filter!!
The "happy birthday~" made me laugh out loud
Your videos are addictive I can't stop.
Yes! Been waitin on this one forever!
The "happy filter" ruins this.
Theres a brilliant scene in the book where Bateman runs into Tom Cruise who lives in his building and awkwardly tries to talk to him before freaking him out with a nose bleed.
Loved the book,movie and this video! Good job guys
Thanks for doing this in a way that mocks UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
*I LOVE THE HAPPY-FILTER MURDER SCENES. MORE OF THAT PLEASE! I LAUGHED SO HARD!*
idk i prefer it to not be a thing
hellpander but it's so funny!
The happy filter was annoying and not even funny
patrick is not a product of his environment, but is a psychopath in the right place at the right time. PERFECT. we still get to see the products of excess wealth and privilege set as a detail/ background for the story. the interesting dynamic is seeing how these greedy yuppies live lives that are based entirely on both status and materialistic one-upmanship excesses with patrick taking this to a whole other depraved and psychotic level.
Queenie Isn't Here let's see Paul Allen's card
Alice's Rabbit you don't understand the allegorical nature of the book, then, if that's your conclusion because Bateman is, most definitely, an archetype of the typical overweening, selfish, vacuous Wall Streeter from the 80s.

Fascinating movie. The first time I saw it I was appalled by it; the second time I was fascinated by it. Like “Vertigo,” each viewing over the years makes me see things I missed before.
You know a movie and book might be a bit too much is when there’s a happy filter.
That being said I enjoyed this video as always
Really like this book. The discriptions of everything eighties is just so mind numbingly tedious that I can barely stand to read it for any lenght of time, not to mention the graphic nature of the violence, but it's still captivating in it's own way and always sticks in my mind for ages. It's like a painting of hell and all the worst things in existence, done in incredible detail by a truly talented hand.
I thought the stock photos in the previous episodes were funnier than the cartoon animations in this one, but still an all-in-all fantastic installment.
"hey remember when that rat eats his way through..."
damn. i do.
Thanks. I now may not be able to sleep for 3 days.
What I love about the book’s description of what everyone is wearing is that they’re actually terribly mismatched and no one with a sense of fashion or good taste would wear them. Supposedly. I’m far from an expert on fashion.
do a video on the best sci fi horror movies
this video is great, thank you guys
Very nice.
Let's see Paul Alan's What's the Difference?
A good point was the difference of time spent on details. I never felt like it was all in his head in the movie but a few scenes do stand out. When he physically confronts his lawyer who mistakes him for someone else then Bateman acts confused can seem confusing. That's another yuppie thing. I think that Bateman could've even mistaken Allen so he's unsure that he even killed him and killed someone else instead or that everyone else was mistaking someone else for Allen. Another scene is Bateman's gun spree but even that to me is just a showcase of his psychotic persona and despair for catharsis clashing with the harsh reality. He could have delusions but the focus of the story in both pieces is still the culture satire that everything is self-centered and no one cares.
Incredible classics like this are what happens when you actually pay attention to the book and use the dialogue/messages from it. Take notes Hollywood
Hearing you guys talk about the book makes me want to go read it! Do what's the difference for Red Sparrow.
The weirdest thing is that until recently I thought the song "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" was by Huey Lewis & The News.Turns out it's by a band called Timbuk 3.

No can do, got an 8:30 rez at Dorcia. Great Sea Urchin Ceviche.
WHY DON'T WE GET ANYMORE ART OF THE SCENE? ! Last time you even put the video down to not answer me, so now i want answers
Because after 1,000 different BTS videos the average viewer now knows more than they ever wanted to about making movies
Keeping it within the same universe (and family), I'd love to see 'The Rules of Attraction' get a "What's the Difference".
i wish more of these videos got more recognizing. They are just as good as the past ones.
I could have sworn I read American Psycho at some point but turns out I didn't. Now I'm trying to think of what I actually read that I my brain decided was American Psycho and I can't and it's very frustrating. So I hope you guys are happy.
I've had that happen too. Worst part is it's probably not even similar too it so by the end of your search you'll be as lost if not more than in the beginning.
Yep sounds about right
Those "happy time" inserts were pretty annoying
Unless you're willing to personally donate the lump sum of what this video earned its creator to allow for a more graphic description, suck it up, cupcake. Take it up with UA-cam- not the creators therein.
Impressed that you even mentioned the rat. Disappointed you didn't mention Evelyn's fancy dessert.
The chapter on The Police is great because that's where I noticed Bateman keeps messing up the names of the band members. Even his music enthusiasm is a front.
I love that your cartoon version of Patrick doesn't look like Cristian Bale, but still looks like he could be Bruce Wayne.
Hey! When you gonna do Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy?
Technically, they would have to also compare the Book, the TV show from the 70's, and then the Movie itself.
the movie was awful.
J Sailer Don't forget the radio series. The radio series was how it started, the book was an adaptation. The radio series is also the best incarnation of Hitchhiker's, in my opinion.
Lol they gotta do the radio show book tv series and nothing else
I like everything else about the film but the whole 'is she the one' thing is so forced idk i like the actress too don't really care that much about all other complaints people have its an adaption of an adaption so
Screw UA-cam for this demonetisations. We want raw and uncut entertainment
That's what Best Gore is for.
Then watch something else
@@bibniebt NO! WE WANY EXPLICIT
Been waitin' for this. Next I wanna see Showpiecer
Your compliment was sufficient Cinefix.
