American Psycho - Intro Scene

[katzwestie]

At 0:39, brains and an arm saran wrapped in his freezer?

[cwwcs]

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.

[cwwcs]

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.

[cwwcs]

I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st street, on the eleventh floor. My name is Patrick Bateman, I am 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 a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser.

[derokojohn]

17 people are going to have a late night dinner with Patrick Bateman! I have some feeling Pat would later go to return some video tapes.

[Jeeves574]

Does anyone know the piano music?

[TheBomblee]

too much fucking work

[opppoc]

This makes me laugh so much. I'd say far too many people can relate to this life

[frustratedgamerguy]

This is the best motivational video I've ever seen.

Its all about Being Good looking through Diet, Exercising everyday and using Skin products to have a smooth and beautiful skin without any pimples.

[tommywoodcock]

@frustratedgamerguy hahaha your joking right? like your being sarcastic?

[FCB87]

@frustratedgamerguy actually its all about being empty and rotten inside, just like bateman is. psychotic emtpy asshole. but god i love how funny the satire is. and bale is fucking awesome. classy acting!

[gears5336]

hey fellow guys if you want to get laid a lot take notes

[AHCrusader]

Do you think this is what goes through Christian Bale's mind every morning?

"I live in my humble Welsh abode on te outskirts of Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.

My name is Christian Bale.

Every morning I wake up to my wife, the precious Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "The Fighter".

I then immediately have sex with my wife to the song "Lux Aeterna" from Clint Mansell's score of Requiem for a Dream", through a tight hole I grafted through the base of my wife."

[DJSuicidalTendencies]

I tried this routine once. Took me 3 days o_O

[Calcasporgenze]

17 dislike. I'LL KILL YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARDS!

[coscientology]

followed by one of the best songs of all time

[theblaquebaastid]

1:30 onwards... Chills.. every.. motherfucking.. time

[Tjinuski]

i feel like bateman when i brush my teeth in the shower.

[TenWhoWereTaken]

I simply... Am not...  There.

[tranhype]

This scene is just incredible. Gives me the inner urge to distance myself from all of life's complexities, and just withdraw.

[pqstr]

@tranhype in other words u agree with this psycho's narcissism? it's too much at this point, you know.

[CPTGuyana]

You Suck Chocolate Mango!

[kwanhui22]

Nice ass...

[dustbowl193139]

I want such an apartment.

[NoHeartAnthony]

[caccapylly1]

[Raford146]

@caccapylly1 Nothing inspires people more than a psychopathic yuppie!

[superflunker87]

RIPPED

[johnmalory26]

It's important to look good

[sa79296]

[cjbirk]

[europeandancer]

@cjbirk I couldnt agree more! "christian zealot faggot" haha.. Very well said.. Christians are the reasons we live in such a world today.

[pqstr]

@europeandancer wat u talkin about?

[europeandancer]

@pqstr Are u christians ?

[pqstr]

@europeandancer obviously not because I am only one person but yes I am a christian, so?

[nvaspider]

wait. does he put the mosturizer and anti aging eye cream on top of the facial mask!? someone let me know!!

[bastianskaye]

@nvaspider no. he takes the mask off before putting those on.

[Xell3010]

there is no real me ! one of the best intros i've ever seen pat bateman rocks

[coryboy345]

You're a fuckin' ugly bitch, i wanna stab you to death and play with your blood.

[teamanki]

Flagging this clip because of Christian Bales awesome ass is a crime against humanity.

[Wwukan]

I simply am not ther ...

[jakeappleby]

Haha i did this routine once

[dudefrom1989]

"Hi. Pat Bateman," I say, offering my hand, noticing my reflection in a mirror hung on the wall---and smiling at how good I look.

[muottaaja]

Most honest scene ever.

[elppa284]

that's gotta be one of the creepiest intro ever

[maclovindotca]

very powerful

[yarray007]

what is the song's name?

it is a great movie!!

[kc1921]

Why would a man have a Les Mis print in their bathroom?

[Devianto]

I simply am not there.

[Devianto]

I simple am not there.

[ares12790]

click me

[WildHorse123456]

After seeing this movie I started to like guys who are kind, bold and have big bellies. Before this movie I liked those well educated, good lucking, handsome guys with six pack and money. Nowdays I hate that materialistic, narsistic and superficial world that this movie and the book are telling about. But the movie is brilliant and so is the book too :)

[superflunker87]

@WildHorse123456

Yea, I also love guys who don't exercise, don't have any money, and are not well-educated.

[Zanderklocke]

@superflunker87 Well said, heh.

[ares12790]

@WildHorse123456 im a narcissistic young 22 year old lawyer without a six pack and im good looking and im rich!!!!! will you date me

[VannevarBush]

@WildHorse123456

Do you date guys who are well-educated, mediocre-looking, kind and the opposite of self-serving?

[yogi94bear]

he looks like fernando torres maaaaaaaaaan, lol

[diegolas666]

amazing. just amazing lines

[johanssonhenrik92]

That routine fucking sucks.

Just wash your face with a mild cleanser and moisturize morning and evening and peel once a week and your skin will be just as good as him.

[ceedrake]

water-activated gel cleanser

[crazypiernasjr]

wanna be like him hahaha

[Oyvind21]

Well dont we all! :D

[nativesurf13]

i'm going to try this routine... its brought his success.

[Koyukonn]

[tylerPdorian]

[Gasser877]

[dannee543]

[BoyOfSteel101]

[corriest123]

[SpankingDmonkey]

whats the name of this song? i want to use it as my alarm music.

[kajaDenmark]

Good idea :)

[uRRonin]

It is called "Suicide" by John Cale. Now when you know the name of the song maybe you dont want to wake up to it...

[Oyvind21]

lol.

[BleedingSunday]

@uRRonin

Why would you? Who would ever like this movie and be afraid of waking up to a song titled 'suicide'.. Thats just not right!

[surobakianinpo]

hey paul!

[daflsaurus]

[diztanguy]

[doobeedoobeedooo]

YOU MUST BE PROUD MAN! I kill more than him a day, WOW HA?

[pimpstress16]

Bale is so fine! Especially in this movie

[XOXISSIMO]

while I lived in France everybody looked ar me like a freak If I brusjed my teeth before coffee...

I want him as a bf! lol

[Alexander1991]

Why would you brush your teeth before drinking coffee? Atleast do it AFTER coffee?

[Bellingham1997]

you suck!

[PursuingKnowledge]

Because the acidity level in the coffee is high, therefore possibly thinning your enamel... which is the protection layer, which is bad news. Unless you wait an hour or two after that, but the bacteria would have started housing already anyway.

[DavidAames2000]

@PursuingKnowledge

I have to go return some video tapes

[deefromott]

you mean you want to be carried out in a rolled carpet and thrown into the back of a taxi?

[gabisagabbingabber]

best. movie. ever.

[fitnessmaniac5]

i. absolutely. agree.

[anotherstalker]

i. have. herpes.

[DatNiggaFrizzy]

this mother fucker got some smooth skin !

[toddpinkstonisgod]

Not the face, not the fucking face you piece of bitch trash!

[Serial101Killer]

Wow he must never be at work on time lol

[toystradamus]

His dad owns the company, he doesn't have to be lol

[toystradamus]

It's funny how no one notices they don't show him brushing his teeth, or maybe that just isn't part of his morning routine lol.

[UedoJP]

In the book, he actually brushes his teeth two or three times with different brands of sonic brushers.

[soulmman]

@UedoJP Jesus Christ.

[Potre91]

@UedoJP now that is really psycho

[DenshoGiallo]

@UedoJP and rince with 3 different mouthwashes, i think it's Listerine, Plax and Sepacol. Pretty crazy for someone who enjoys eating human flesh.

[cloudwalker08]

He plays a killer.. I know.. but My God!! what a turn on when he showers.

[Latalia]

American Psycho 2 is hard to take seriously when u used to watch the 70's show;

it's Jackie man!

[wonderfulfuckyou]

American Psycho 2 was a joke...

[DodecahedronIM]

part 2 is some kinda stupid joke with this movie

[Magnolia296]

Nice movie but I always wondered when some people find it classic or masterpiece. It was good but not superb thriller.

American Psycho 2 was no less impressive

[ThomsenKA]

Good old narcissistic Bateman ;)

[JameelaRoxs]

Batemen does really strike me as the type to have a collection of lotions and potions in the back of a cabinet that he doesn't use...

Or maybe it's because it came into style and he bought them to be like everyone else?

Or does he use them and we just don't see?

:/

xJRx

[JEGERKLOG2]

I hate Paul Allen

[4CaroCat4]

wow,christian's a gorgeous and very handsome man,and this body...like Adonis!!!

[johnmalory26]

I believe of taking care of myself too

It's important!

[RavenMichaels]

I simply am not there...

[xxaclxx]

There's also Phyto Men.

[MADAMEOCTA07]

om nom nom ....  yummy

[MsBuddyboy23]

He has got the most flawless skin... and the perfect body... and gorgeous hair... lol, I almost want to hate him...

[ak47krank]

or fuck him

[MsBuddyboy23]

lol. It's like you read my mind :-)))

[meligonlan]

God I just love those metrosexual males that take care of themselves aka David Bekham !!!!

[Eixoh]

I know what you mean man.

[Zergo89]

Perfect Intro great film

[starsandbarsforever]

hey! i have been meaning to ask. just what exactly does that face mask thing do anyway? why put it on your face for 10 minuets? is there a set time limit? looks like it hurts peeling off, like a band aid stuck to a scab.

[Couragegirl76]

clean the pores and skin. in also makes your face look younger, softer. no they dont hurt to take off been using them for years. :)

[BoyOfSteel101]

The herb mint facial mask unclogs pores, the 10 minutes is to ensure proper bonding to the grime in your pores, whilst the mint rehydrates the skin by being absorbed into the tissue, filling lines and wrinkles.

[starsandbarsforever]

just seems like a lot of work for beauty. but then again...i am ugly anyway ha ha ha.

[toystradamus]

Please what products would you advise and where could I lay my hands on such products. Thanks so much for taking the time.

[xxaclxx]

He uses L'occitane facial products for men, including the body wash/scrub. Also noticable is the Yves Saint Laurent cologne.

[europeandancer]

@xxaclxx L'occitane products are a fine line I must admit.

[KingRoanMoore]

if you take the E out of patrick bateman its "patrick batman"

[Rammsteinn8Italia]

if you made bateman "bates" and he had servants at his house they would be calling him "master bates", until he killed them of course

don't ask, they did that on cyanide and happiness some time back

[shatterstarbox]

He has no acne lol.

[SpankingDmonkey]

ITS CALLED washing your face, using special expensive facial cleansing treatments and makeup.

[drzsexistmami]

dude and this is why i love christian bale... he is sooo fucking hot and talented to boot....

[joemclean90]

this intro scene is simply fantastic.

[kcherry9]

ugh...at 1:01 nothing but beauty, and i am sure he has other fine qualities like killing people and freezing their heads, but my god look at that ass!

[MsBuddyboy23]

Hate to be the one to state the obvious but, GODDAMN HE LOOKS GOOD!!!!!

[atohandtorz]

Anybody knowing the intro-melody or song?

[hungryjoe1]

love it

[Richard20TRILLION]

'I simply am not there'

[gremlin05]

Don't women do this?

[masondarko]

a person so devoted to herself has to be a psycho

[killzone10]

name of song anyone?

[Dotseoem]

It's by John Cale. Youtube it.

[scattt]

"Suicide" by John Cale

[midnitetoker01]

and to keep my sanity ..

i enjoy hearing this piano piece

[Dungerly]

Brilliant Movie!

[NowDanceFuckerDance]

JUST SAY NO!!

[NowDanceFuckerDance]

Best movie ever!!!

[OS253]

Men in real life never take care of themselves. It's only in the movie. This actor looks good because he's in the public eye.

[southparkguy]

I JUST HAVE TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE!
