Christian Bale - Best performance

[blackktieguy]

Jim Carrey could have pulled this role off perfectly.

[campkillyourself93]

The fact that he wasn't nominated for an Oscar blows my mind.

[billbenblue]

Ha ha ha, you could hear his accent slip.

You should've posted the scene where he listens to "Hip to Be Square" and kills Paul. By FAR, the best scene of the movie! Especially that little dance he does! Ha ha ha!

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

He's a great method actor indeed as long as you don't WALK AROUND IN FRONT OF THE FUCKIN CAMERA and don't be FUCKIN BULLSHITTIN AROUND THE SET! So you better STAY OFF THE FUCKIN SET, MAN! FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Or else he'll want to FUCKIN KICK YOUR FUCKIN ASS! ...seriously we're fuckin done professionally, man...

[deatonegabbard]

@NIMRODakaNIMROD Your name says it all...

[raissaborci]

That is what i call method acting..Brilliant!!

[warmaker911]

can anyone picture Nicholas Cage doing this scene?Would be fuckin' hilarious

[maya06227]

Tonight I.. hahaHAHA I JUST HAD TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE!!!!

My favorite movie line of all times.

[Baboolover]

one of the Best performance from bale so far in my opinion.

[niickbabz]

He is amazing. He is my favourite actor!!!

[lingham0623]

....Oh...My...God..that was THE FUNNIEST thing i have ever seen in my life XD

[movieaddict19]

Amazing movie, I remember watching it when it came out because I was bored and it blew me away, I knew Christian Bale had a future in films after this

[farofir]

I do NOT recall of any such great performance from any actor in long time ! Brilliant and perfect acting./ Thx for posting./

[SonofMan111234]

I used to think he said "some mexican girls in an apartment uptown" lol.

[lushgreenapple]

How can you say he was overacting? Have you ever heard a mass murderer confess to his lawyer? I am just wondering about the parameters, that's all.

[veritas0290]

Haha his accent slips a bit in places - "guhl-friend" and "duh-nut shop" love him <333

[rosee298]

ı wanna say that he ıs awesome actor!!!!!! ı love hım<33333

[DonCorleone87]

got robbed of an Oscar...

[KAMIKAZEinbound]

ITS NOT HES FAULT THERE WAS A FAGGOT WITH A DOG.

[tarvolt]

haha i love his expression while saying: "I killed an alley girl with a chainsaw (crying)... i had to!! she almost got away!" hahahaha we understand patrick, you had no choice... hahahah

[ktm5194]

soooo.... keep your eyes OPEN....

[NoMoreLiesAboutMeToo]

Who the fuck would dislike this. O.O <3

[EJR914]

One of the best movies, ever. Christian Bale did an amazing job acting.

[Special1Mourinho]

I wish to name this guy as a new 'Marlon Brando'. I know he doesn't deserve this title yet, but I assume his acting skills, his spirit, and his proud as an actor will someday make him fit for the title.

[madvegan66]

"Keep your eyes open": scary and sexy at the same time.

[coryboy345]

"and then some man, a little faggot with a dog!" hahahahaha

[tobiasaardal]

maybe he should kill 18 more people

[movieaddict19]

@tobiasaardal 19 now

[Crosaiyan]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL XD

[drawswithcrayon]

This resembles the style of Hitchcock to me for some reason.

[darroni123]

He killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face and the body is in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen?

Call Gordon Ramsay

[MrAppleby56]

@darroni123 TABLE 6, TWO STEAK, ONE SOUFFLE ...

[PufferBluntman]

You let five people die.

[MagicMushroomable]

Brilliant actor. especially in Psycho, Machinist and Prestige.

He in fact has to be a pretty sick guy to like that roles.

[doublefantasy6999]

@Smythy7 more angry than proud

[williammoseleyfan101]

Should've been nominated for a oscar.. he was brilliiant in this film!!!!

[peskytresky]

Wow....he is *totally* insane.

.....I wonder how hard it was for Christian Bale to act this out? :-P

[neilwilson557]

"and i tried to cook a little" lmfao

[MrJensen54]

his best performance was in 3:10 to Yuma



[Creeveyable]

batman is as psychotic as the joker...

[January962]

''i killed 20 people...maybe 40''....haha

20 people give or take...=)

[kabal5000]

some old FAGGOT WITH A DOG!! best part of the speech

[kitsyheartszombies]

Bale, you are BRILLIANT. ♥

[doublefantasy6999]

I guess I am pretty sick guy.. yes you are Christian.. you are everything you want to be. I think every genius is kind of sick :))

[upyerrzzz]

@doublefantasy6999 Everyone is "sick" on some level; it's the beauty/tragedy of being human.

[doublefantasy6999]

@upyerrzzz maybe.. but I was talking about being sick on "genius level" ;)) and it´s far from ordinary people

[upyerrzzz]

@doublefantasy6999 Ahhh, gotcha.

[DeAwesomeAsshole]

This is probably one of the best performances I have ever seen.

[NoMoreLiesAboutMeToo]

(x BATEMAN IS HOT ;)))

[ellocokey]

17 people wants to be fuckin' killed...!

[12thUntitled]

a lilttlebit overacting

[tohtorigyro]

@12thUntitled can you even overact a psychopathic insane mass murderer? have you read (or seen) american psycho? the dude is INSANE!

[NoMoreLiesAboutMeToo]

@12thUntitled He is CRATY and as he says he killed A LOT of PEOPLE and ATE some of their BRAINS Helloooo,its not overacting =DDDD ITS HOT xD

[luk0ski]

"I've been trying to cook a little..." :]

[headachebaby]

LOL, I ATE SOME OF THEIR BRAINS, AND I TRIED TO COOK ALITTLE

[LJITLOML]

he wouldn't have been so bad of the joker himself lol

[veritas0290]

@LJITLOML Oh my gosh you are so right. I was legitimately freaked out during this scene! He could've played incorruptible Batman and psychopathic Joker and really messed with all our heads...

[funismyaddiction]

ahahahahahaha

[bassmanjoe]

16 dislikes WTF!!!!!

[ProRanting]

Hannibal Lecter

The Joker

Patrick Bateman

Favorite serial killers.

[bleedingrosesinc]

hahaha awesome

[kokopellifan1]

Wow. He's a pretty good freak. Batman is intimidating but this guy is pure psycho.

[o0PapaMax0o]

IS THAT IVANA TRUMP!?

[Wenonimus]

"I'm not sure I can get away with it this time"

Golden.

[BountyHunter500]

well, in this movie, he definitly should be locked up in arkham asylum...! :D

[DerHalbeEuro]

Overacting idiot....sorry girls he maybe looks good but isn't a realy good actor.

[Punks1Not2Dead3You4R]

@DerHalbeEuro have you ever seen this movie? or did you come here for the sole purpose of putting christian bale down? this scene is very distictive from the rest of the movie and in no way "overacting" you sound someone in 6th grade drama

[jlalewicz]

@DerHalbeEuro Huh, guess this is why your not on the Screen Actors Guild, Oscar, Golden Globe awards decision panel. Your taste is just impecable.

[NewWorldSoldier90]

Bale is the white Denzel Washington :D both are the best actors in the world !!!

[Zimbabweland]

how does THIS clip get ads!!?!?!? AAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!

[aclock2]

I act great in Equilibrium as well. A character opposite from this one

[aclock2]

I act great in Equilibrium as well.

[QEGMJ]

i tried to cook a little lol

[kakacarmenheath]

always love christian bale!!!! batman and psycho forever!!! <3<3

[crazykenna]

oh my gosh, i want to see this movie again! Christian Bale is great at playing emotionally powerful characters because he is super charged scary in real life.

[grungzer]

@Stepanskiy23 It was just another way of showing his insanity. Sort of like the chapter, Glimpse of a Thursday Afternoon, where it just starts and stops midsentence.

[grungzer]

I have this entire monologue tacked to the wall beside my desk. I have it memorized.

[steinover]

Its just awsome when hes having sex with those prostitutes and are posing in the mirror. I love Christian Bale in this movie.

[leisurelydinner]

@DavidSalomon lol Method acting's a tad harsh. That's the crap that Nic Cage, Keanu Reeves, and Orlando Bloom do

[PunkRockPat]

I killed paul allen with an axe to the face. awesome

[ShaneMcD77]

Check out my 'Christian Bale's body transformation' vid - it shows the lengths the guy went to for his roles in American Psycho and The Machinist.

[King00000000000000]

u never know, he may even have played a better joker than heath ledger?

[pedroviolante]

@1:36 he sounds like Jim Carey in The Mask

[starshine699]

Bateman: (says whole awesome speech)

Lawyer: (voice) 'Please leave a message after the beep' (beep)

Bateman:Oh well, I guess after I bring out 'ol Axey, he wont be doing any more cases, he will be put into a case HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Lawyer:Hey Pat, just returning your call,uhh waddya want?

Bateman:Your blood, ha ha ha ha!!!

Lawyer:Ok where do you want that sent to.

(Awkard silence) Bateman puts phone down.

Lawyer:Pat, ohhhh Pat, well no blood for him. (puts phone down)

[coryboy345]

For fucks sake hes amateur!!!!

[radio213]

GIVE ME AN ANSWER!!

[1020Shane]

I had too! she almost got away :(

[koums94]

1:32 LMFAO gotta love this laugh

[TucoRamirez2]

I'm no psychologist, but I find it difficult to believe that a pyschopath would exhibit such remorse. The acting by Bale was great though.

[3eau2aniel]

@TucoRamirez2 Yeah his actual character is a bit flaky in the book too, he says at the end that he only feels greed and digust but he displays alot more emotions than that.

Still awesome though.

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@3eau2aniel Not flaky at all. Even psychopaths can break under such pressure, god I could go on but I've argued this so many times lol

[ActraiserIII]

@TucoRamirez2 it was only because he was sure he was going to get caught.

[tekergomeli]

@jeruantalon When you are in such an intense movie like Terminator Salvation, when you're 100% concentrated, when you want to give your best performance ever, and somebody walks around, and disturbes you then what should you do? Smile?

I would have scream either!

[tekergomeli]

"keep your eyes open". I love this scene. I haven't seen the movie, but I love this scene. To do this in the front of a camera, this guy can play everything. He was good as Batman, as Daniel, as John Preston, as the soldier in Harsh Times, as the little boy in The Empire Of The Sun. He can play whatever he wants, and can transform himself, once he can be a skinny crazy guy, and the other time he can be a big, strong killer.

He is one of the best actors in the world, and he is sexy too :D

[Mugsi]

@tekergomeli I really liked that film Equilibrium. I felt that he gave one of his greatest performances to that film. Also, he got to kill a lot of people there too.

[locsaretheshit]

I didn't get the ending to the movie, but I did like the movie.

[codebaloo27]

@locsaretheshit yea when me and my dad saw it we didnt either but the nding it never happen it was all in his head

[nincsjonev]

This is nothing compared to when Christian Bale freaked out on the shooting of Terminator 4. If he could do THAT in a movie, well that would be a performance!!

[PredatorMagic]

shit retarded fucked up generation kids movie

[endranesta]

I have liked Bale long before Batman and Terminator. And i even think that both batman and Terminator are far away from his best movie. But we can't expect great acting from protagonist role in those two movies. And i believe it is only for the purpose of getting fame.

[Fernyxferny]

The thing with this movie is that it has a HORRIBLE photography direction... maybe it's on purpose but that's beside the point, it does feel way bizarrely retro

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@Fernyxferny What makes you say that? The photography direction is great in every way...

[YouFightLikeACow]

this scene made me watch the whole movie. thank god i watched it. what a great movie. everything is so artificial, that everything becomes so important later... i can't really explain. great movie.

[JayJoeHey]

keep your eyes OPEN

[BabyBreezyB]

lmao omg funny but disturbing, best was the nailgun part lol

[atomspliter91]

I killed him with an ax to the face!

[killlkd]

wow best acting ive ever seen

[dalvant]

Christian Bale rules, and he's brilliant in this movie.

[JimmySteller]

Christian Bale's performance in "American Psycho" blew Russell Crowe's performance in "Gladiator" out of the water.

[ThurstonSmexyOakley]

If anyone was looking for the perfect dramatic monologue, THIS IS IT!

[bobbyandbeans]

"... and some p***k named Shane, I beat him to death with his own lights, and some ginger chick whose dad is famous and who was also standing in my lights, I think someone got that on tape or something, and this other p***k named McG or some f**king letter like that, he's dead in a ditch in New Mexico somewhere ..."

Seriously, how does anyone watch Christian do a movie like this and then get in his way? Get out of his scene and let the man work for god's sake!

[Smeggers08]

@Stepanskiy23 It's how one interprets the movie. I see it that he killed them but the culture he was in was so superficial and ignorant, nobody took notice. Nobody knows names i.e. Allen thought Bateman was Marcus Halberstram.

[murphy13295]

Love the Movie, so unappreciated when it was released. Every year it gains credibility. I watch it whenever its playing, some truly hysterical scenes,gotta love the business card scene

[Skunter]

What the fuck

[hoogys]

He's insane...His phone wasn't even hooked up.

[6400loser]

@hoogys

Is that in the movie? Because in the book he runs into his lawyer at the end, who mistakes him for someone else and tells him about the phone call thinking it was a joke.

[hoogys]

@6400loser no

[samage1337]

@hoogys how did the lawyer get the message then?

[SuperHeroMania]

@hoogys the phone was hooked up, the lawyer mentioned it the next day

[TheLobsterOfFate]

@hoogys no it was hooked up

[sherlock1225]

OMG he's the best!! sooo amazing!!!

[HeronOfHeaven]

if he didn't take the role of Batman he will be the Joker in Dark knight, and Jake Gyllenhaal as the Batman

[makado1980]

bateman /batman same difference

[TheDayfornight]

stephanie he sounds english

[rl0u8888]

WHY.SO.SERIOUS?? 

[toshimojo159]

“TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!”

[dudemusicspace]

Bale is a stunningly good actor... one of the greats.

[masondarko]

This is the only slaher movie that i laughed

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@masondarko NOT a slasher movie.

[bluetoaster8822]

"some little faggot with a dog last week" LOL

[sarahllujah]

In all honesty, I don't think I would mind being killed by him... <3

[ak74srthebest0909]

@sarahllujah With an axe to the face?

[heytheremia]

@sarahllujah that's creepy hahahaa

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@sarahllujah Sure, if you like having acid burn off your labia major and a giant, starved rat shoved into your intestines...

[SnickersxLuver]

he's an amazing actor, i can't believe he's never even had an oscar nomination

[SuperHeroMania]

@SnickersxLuver he will this year

[vanbelkom]

@SnickersxLuver

Maybe if he decides not to go postal on another D.O.P. he might just get his nomination.

[jlalewicz]

@vanbelkom Yup! 2 awards down & 1 big one to come:) He's due.

[glowster]

@SnickersxLuver until now!

[MadMarSkee]

I'd love to leave a comment, but I Have to return some videotapes

[NekoWonder]

@MadMarSkee I've heard that line before :)

[jwsavs]

this scene is SO much better in the movie then it is in the book. in the book, he just says he called his lawyer and said he was a pretty sick guy. but in the movie, like this is fucking awesome, this is a fucking great scene

[fodabonita]

can you imagine getting home after a day of grocery shopping with your kids, it says on your answering machine you have one new message, you hit the play button.....and it's this?

[blinkfan4ever]

@fodabonita HAHA I would be like "Davis wtf is with you..?" ._.

Ha :P

[sexysteveontour08]

Was american physco any good guys?

[fodabonita]

@sexysteveontour08 it's good. dramatic and intense. based on a true story. It's REALLY good if you can relate to the main character........i thought it was really good

[maya06227]

@fodabonita based on a true story..? ehm i think not...

[fodabonita]

@maya06227 it IS based on a true story, I also relate to the main character cuz i 2 am a serial killer...i read all of this on wikipedia...after posting it on wikipedia....

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

@fodabonita You read it on Wikipedia after posting it on Wikipedia? O.o

[TheOrigionalArroyo]

@maya06227 the original psycho is and unless this is not a remake you are correct.

[madhouse221]

@TheOrigionalArroyo This is not 'Psycho', its 'American Psycho', there different movies

[TheOrigionalArroyo]

@madhouse221 ok, same basic concept and storyline so its a remake.

[madhouse221]

@TheOrigionalArroyo Its not a remake. This movie is based off a book that is nothing like 'Psycho'. If you have even seen the movie, you would know

[MegalomaniacHere]

@fodabonita LOL relate to the main character... (ain't that easy)

SO u prefer axe or a chain saw?? XD

[fodabonita]

@MegalomaniacHere I prefer slow and methodical like magnolia in the tea or hemlock. it's painful but no one can trace the cause of death to murder. just a bad batch of tea. I would like to put some in Bigckek's tea...

[ToddSGallows]

@sexysteveontour08 Along with The Machinist, it's one of Christian Bale's best movies.

[doody1414]

lots of strange acting shifts really interesting to watch..

[sexysteveontour08]

Whats this movie called?

[nhenry87]

So much for Batman's rule of not killing.

[erghtrfgh]

@nhenry87 he can do what he wants to - his a goddamn batman.

[DrunkenSkunk]

With an AXE! In the FACE! Hahaha. I love it.

[matrixlone]

haha 0:24 some man some little fagot!! haha lol

[KardKaper]

Wow... Christian Bale could be the next joker. =D

[matrixlone]

@KardKaper he said tom cruise inspired him how to play bateman

[beautydaddy]

Only people who think this movie is a masterpiece are those born after 1975.or those with low I.Q's, or both.

[tikory]

get with the times old man.

[beautydaddy]

@tikory Thanks for proving my point, punk.

[SuperFriendable]

If you can't appreciate the movie or the novel, I feel sorry for you. Your opinion is just that an opinion, making a comment like such only shows that you yourself have low intelligence, so once again I feel sorry for you. Stick to your Transformers while I enjoy brilliant films like The Hurt Locker, and Moon.

[beautydaddy]

Again, the little metrosexual speaks? Silence limp dick and get back to your facials (both cosmetic and your BF).

[SpikyAd]

Christian Bale should have got a oscar for this.

"Tonight.. I err. Hahaha, Just had to kill a lot of people!" lol.

[maya06227]

the thing about this movie and christians carachter is that he can manage to be psychotic and hilarious at the same time. i love it!
