American Psycho - Don't forget to sign in

[heyitshorse]

did anyone else find this part funny? I was laughing at his expression when he was at the revolving door and fogot to kil the caretaker. I mean i was actually roling on the floor laughing.

[rowdy8888]

@heyitshorse & that would have been a one in a million shot, to kill that Janitor.

[KingGreg7]

Best.Movie.Evah.

[SgtPepper123x]

Funniest movie of all time

[jedi01sith]

The film gives you the strong impression he didnt do it. The book leans more towards that he did. I think that Bateman was right about one thing, she was a fucking ugly bitch.

[richman360]

My personal opinion is no he didn't do what the narrative says. Being as it is found in the to be a unreliable narrative. It is left up to the viewer to decide what truly happened.

[CRAKIZGOOD]

Guys, I tried for along time to understand the ending which seemed very ambiguous, but I'm pretty sure I've got it now.

its about a mad man

[vaahtobileet]

This movie is about flowers and rainbows. You should all go return some videotapes, 'cos I got this.

[Zeta439]

This movie is about the enterily humanity. But this doesn't mean nothing. We are what we are and nothing but ourselves can't change that. We just exist and we just die.

[facecheek]

i LOVE the pen part, it's like, "and anoth....oh wait i guess not."

[rowdy8888]

@facecheek A Cross or a Montblanc, what type of pen does Christian use ?

[IKaeso]

what

the

fuck

?!?!?

[CamilaRom1997]

mr.Smith? mmm, that gives the movie a new meaning....

[Sveners50]

0:20 hilarious

[CamilaRom1997]

@Sveners50 couldn't stop laughing LOL

[Sveners50]

@CamilaRom1997 yeah lol best kill ever

[bigbrown4114493]

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

[MrAnandrocker]

He didnt kill anybody, hes not Patrick Bateman, hes name is Davis Smith.

[13thmistral]

in the book its more about patrick being the serial killer who knows it all

though his knowledge doesnt matter, just like annything else

the thing that matters the most, is there is already something that matters, are his looks

he is the halucenating deranged insane serial killer, but esencially, he is the most sane person if talking about his view on the world

noboddy knows eachother for real, noboddy realy cares about others and not about individual moral

[95beeboo]

lmaooo unpredictable people are fucking hilariousss xD

[monkeynuts76]

MR. SMITH?

[TheBMXlove]

@monkeynuts76

fake identity

[911reaper]

That man only had three more days til retirement you bastard!!

[DarkTakoshi]

3 people forgot to sign in.

[frambesbuckeye]

I fucking laughed so hard at this scene. 

[Veggieman87]

Was that the same building both times? I couldn't tell.

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

He totally forgot to sign in.

[TDurden1988]

don't try to understand the whole story with such bullshit film. read the book.

[WiseGuy5674]

Great fucking movie!..These scenes are almost Jim Carry-like!...

[hudley9]

.. ya almost got it...it is about the leaders of this country even the global economy. Corporate upperclassman ... reaching for more and more...a megalomania society ..psychopaths. These are the people leading this country and also on Wall street... not everyone is this way... only the ones getting a way with murder everyday...no accountability what so ever... it is a very scary look at these people...

[13thmistral]

@hudley9 its not at al about that

those people are the so called lucky ones in this world, the american dream

yet its a nightmare out there

[TheEloeo]

Smith?

[13thmistral]

@TheEloeo noboddy reconaises eachother for who they are, not even their names are always right

[SlashGashJokerWhore]

XD I like that he has to do a whole 360 just to shoot the janitor

[rusheena]

He trips me out how he shoots the first two guys then decides to sign in with the last guy; this movie is halarious!

[mikeMusic00]

say something negative about america you get thumbs up

[TheMintyMuffin]

Bwahahaha! I was like, "That janitor got lucky-" then BLAM! Awesome...

[mattd687]

I love how he circles around and shoots the janitor

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Guys, I tried for along time to understand the ending which seemed very ambiguous, but I'm pretty sure I've got it now.

This movie is about America, as a country, and Americans as individuals. On both levels, our idea of virtue is superficial, and our awareness of both ourselves, and others, is superficial.

Deep down, as a country, and as individuals, we ARE Bateman. We are psychotic, materialistic, and superficial, but we refuse to SEE it in ourselves.

This confession has meant nothing.

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

So, to make it really simple, it doesn't really even MATTER whether he did this or not. Ellis is telling us that this is what is in our heads-Patrick Bateman, and it is what compels us on so many levels, but as long as we hold down our jobs, try to be financially successful, beautiful, popular, socially acceptable on the OUTSIDE, then what's INSIDE JUST DOESN'T MATTER.

This movie is all about identity. Do we really know each other, do we really know ourselves....I mean, REALLY.

[MegaStuff]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder

You sure got it!

Google this: "torrent 6031617"

One thing tho; it's not only America, it applies to the whole human race.

[AmirBasson]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder I think every normal person want to look good and have a lot of money

[123ducksoup]

@AmirBasson *Spoiler

"Crazy people dont know they're crazy"

-John Locke

[pillmatik]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder He did do this. Or most of it rather, since he is the narrator of the movie and an unreliable source due to his obvious insanity. The director of the movie however, commented on this and said she never intended there to be any confusion as to whether or not PB killed anyone, that it was poor directing on her part for not making it clearer.

[darkmanddk]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder hah, sweet

[teameymelli1]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder I've always been a Bateman version of myself, I don't lie to myself. 

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

@teameymelli1

Good. I like that.

[MadameCynosure]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder Jesus, man. You really just opened my eyes with that. It was beautiful. Now that I know I'm psychotic, materialistic and superficial, I feel like I can get on with my life and, more importantly, that Yale Thing.

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

@MadameCynosure

That Yale Thing! Yes!

[TOUGHEYES]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder Jeez, you know its a satire, right? That's why I look down on Americans with a sense of amusement, though I will support Patrick Bateman quotes ftw and use them when appropriate.

[ThisIsMyFridge2]

I know it was a while ago, but...dam! That's a good analogy.

Ten thumbs up!!

[jbx7777]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder shuud up faag its about a dude who is a psycho and kills alot of ppl doouucchhee baaaggggggg.!.!..233.2

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

@jbx7777

I hope that was sarcasm. But maybe you really are that stupid.

[TheIntruders]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder

What a load of shit. America is the covenant land of the covenant people.

[ANONONTHEJEWTUBE]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder No, the ending of the movie was SUPPOSED to be ambiguous. What you're explaining is the entire movie.

[eliten100]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder We are not materialistic and superficial, and definitely not psychotic. It is very easy to think about it like this, why? Because the current indoctrination of us as individuals, promote the idea that we are invariably and irrevocably egotistical.

I know myself to such a degree that i detect the egotistical impulses, i see that i have a problem and i will become more altruistic, more honest, good.

It's so easy to write all humans off as rotten by nature

[wilky1189]

that bit with the revolving door is pure genius.

[Noroxi]

hahaha I always wondered if he was going to just sign in quietly but accidentally grabbed his gun and just went with that.

[blind51de]

WRONG FUCKING BUILDING

[SoleMan117]

3 people forgot to sign in.

[carsismeZ06]

lol wtf

[gravyhouse]

It was a stupid decision to leave Bale out of the Oscars. This acting comes up to the level of Daniel Day-Lewis and is some of the best acting I've ever seen!

[Garcian]

@gravyhouse great comment, crucial really. those british actors sure can act. i'd add Gary Oldman into that bracket too

[NJKIDDRICO973]

When I first saw this scene, I was like........WTF?

That's all I really could say.

[RaptureFilmz]

Is he dreaming it all up in the book too?

[Garcian]

@RaptureFilmz in the book, this scene is written in the third person making it seem even more detached from the rest of the books 1st person perspective. its clearly a delusion but so obviously so [cliche police shoot-out, explosions, feed me a cat] that it actually casts the rest of the killings as seeming likely in comparison to this over-wrought delusion

[screamwriter1]

@Garcian Hmm so the book he IS a killer but also having delusions interesting.

[Garcian]

@screamwriter1 not necessarily, i think the book and the film do a good job of leaving it ambiguous (naturally, moreso the book). but i am of the school of thought who thinks he did kill paul allen and got away with it due to a cold, heartless society. the fact he did kill and got away with it EVEN after admitting it is an emphasis of the critique of the 80's yuppie culture. which is what both the film and book is primarily about, less so the psychology of a serial killer. LIME?

[screamwriter1]

@Garcian I can see that not being just an 80s thing but a status thing more so even if it taking place in modern Manhattan with these Douchebags there is a social apathy that still exists. I know I have tested it as many have. : )

[Chimera1591]

@Garcian, Intresting, I thought it had to do with Bateman's ideal to fit into this society that only recognizes the surface of the a person and not what lays underneath that he fit into the society so well that no one recognizes him for who he is. He's just another guy.

It goes back to the scene where Bateman and his friends are talking about girls with good personalities. They don't care about what lies on the inside, it's all about the exterior. It's a shallow society.

[Mazdak1]

@Chimera1591 lol nothing does lie inside women, moron. they are shallow, stupid mushy holes to stick it to.

[Chimera1591]

@Mazdak1, Ok? =D

Someone hates women. 

[ShadowoOfBlood]

@RaptureFilmz

But here's the mind-fuck. Was he fantising it? Or was it cleaned up by daddy?

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

3 people dislike Phil Collins.

[LucaTurilli89]

Why is he caLLING HIM mr. Smith?!

[Necronkiller]

BOOM HEADSHOT!!!

[W0LFVISI0N]

I love how he goes out that rotating door, sees the janitor then rotates back around shoots him and goes back out again..

[tehBLAX]

LMAO PULLS OUT THE PEN BAHAHA

[theblacktippingpoint]

never call patrick bateman mr smith.

[bojanks15]

ohhh get owned

[JoeTheToucan]

I find it so funny that he goes around the revolving door twice

Not to mention that hilarious face when he whips out the pen

[gangman5]

*out the revolving door*

Whoops! missed one

*Back around, BANG, and out again*

Those things are convienient!

[AustriaDictator]

feed me a stray cat

[caspcasecasp]

I actualy feel like acting like this alot of the times.

[RYANL22]

Living proof that Patrick will stop at nothing to return his videotapes.

[Cashmaster21]

I love how it looks like he's going to pull out his gun again but instead pulls out a pen.

Pure Genius.

[serchyissexy]

this scene might have been shot in Toronto too so....

[serchyissexy]

0:27 where is this?

[coryboy345]

@serchyissexy I was about to say the old world trade centers, but they look too small to be those 2 buildings.

[dizzyisme]

the way he runs is hilarious plus the fact that he went back to shoot the janitor was funny.

[gathimest]

the reason he killed the bum was because the bum only looked up to him as a potential meal ticket instead of a person. He wouldnt have killed Al if Al had been like "Thanks for your kindness sir, what's your name"

if the Bum had tried to connect with him on a friendly level he wouldnt have killed him. A level that speaks of actual interest in who he is.

[LucaTurilli89]

@gathimest what did you mean exactly by potential meal ticket and friendly level? If the bum didn't recognized him he wouldn't killed him or what?

[gathimest]

@LucaTurilli89 Watch the Al scene again. Notice how his expression changes as soon as the bum lays a hand on him. If the bum had noticed him as a person and not just some random guy who would give him a handout, I don't think he would have been killed. Pat even says he is going to help Al out and seems really sincere about it until Al lays a hand on him.

[gathimest]

@LucaTurilli89 Instead, Al just repeated the same line over and over "you're a kind man" "thank you" "thank you"

Al didn't really care who Patrick was, all Al seemed to care about was the potential handout so that he could go get some more booze.

[Thisismytrollingface]

I admire his aim with the janitor! I would have had to fire at least 2 shots.

[iulian28ti]

now, with all those cameras, such thrills are no longer possible

[ChadBloodyHorror]

Well at least he signed in!

[TheHealthJunkie]

Patrick needed to kill a LOT of people.

[magicalpoop]

There's evidence that he didn't do it, just merely imagined it. In this scene, he shoots a few cars and they explode. He even looks at his gun in astonishment.

A few other notable ones are when he makes open dialogue about murder but nobody cares or listens. But liek you guys said, nobody wants to rock the boat.

[disengagejam]

@magicalpoop awesome name btw ... if you read the book it becomes very clear. right at the part where the 'feed stray cat to atm' scene the dialogue switches from 1st person to 3rd person - basically he is so maniacal he starts to hallucinate. It changes back before he calls his lawyer to confess. It really is very complex, yet dark satire.

If he did not commit the murders, the movie and book failed and would be a moot point (quoted from the director) Brilliant Movie - one of my favorites

[guitar19904]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH CLEANER

[p4cm4n182]

either he's schizophrenic and imagined all of this, or everyone was too into themselves to care

[XxINCHAINSxX]

@p4cm4n182 Maybe a little bit of both.

[Capri557]

lol it was funny when he was in the club and she was liek "we dont accept those anymore" lol he was like "you're such an ugly bitch, i want to stab you to death and play around in your blood." tbh she deserves that goddamn women i ahte them they think they can do whatever they want bc if the man hits her bc she hit him first he goes to jail -.-"

[schuelda]

@rage2552 you realize he never really kills anybody right? It is all in his head? Watch the ending

[DYOLFMOT]

you realize he does this because he needs to create an alibi because he was caught murdering but the guard notices him and the time he came in so he could not sign in with a fake, earlier, time without looking suspicious

[CaptainPommby]

This movies so great!

Funny too! xD

[cibot123]

Did anyone else laugh when he spun around in the door just to shoot the janitor

[supperspicy]

@cibot123 lmaooo yup! i sure did haha

[david000009]

it was very misleading when he pulled that pen out, thought it'd be his gun. hahaha Good movie love it.

[david000009]

haha I didnt expect the last guy to survive. The way Bateman pulls out the pen is hilarious!!! (exactly like the way he pulls out his gun and with that psychotic face expression hahaha)They expected the audiance to expect Bateman to kill the last guy but he didnt kill the last guy. haha

[vegnx]

0:21 - 0:25

hahaha

[triggy1]

Lol, i love this scene, and i like how he dosnt kill the last guy becuase the last guy actually thinks hes "normal" hes just killed all of them people before that and the guy at the counter just nods, as in proceed, so he thinks should i kill him or not?.. like people said before it is open to interpration so, thats mine :P

[PhantoMPhreeK92]

what... teh... fook? lmao.

[YT12345678910]

this scene is fucked up lol

[redplague]

Mr Smith?

[dannyfordisgod]

Bateman is a good fucking shot.

[littlegreengamer]

@ dannyfordisgod: that's exactly what i was thinking! you don't wanna fuck around in bateman's neighborhood past 10pm. he's got mad skills. XD

[franzferninlanddd]

BLAWO!!!

[forman208]

Notice how the securiy guard doesn't even flinch when Bateman points the gun in his face

[EmptyRifle]

i think that part was in his head when u ponit that out

[crusnikgal01]

Killers are nothing to admire.

[cmwissy]

Unless they have a point, Jigsaw, The Joker in his non-stupid roles, Etc.

[crusnikgal01]

Now Jigsaw was actually an impressive mastermind. Technically, he never killed anyone. They killed themselves. I admired his way of getting people to fight for their lives. Now THAT was admirable.

[cmwissy]

Exactly, by the Joker I mean his more Philosophical, Misanthropic, Jigsaw like roles; Not the 'Wooh I'm a scary emo' Dark Knight role.

[PhantoMPhreeK92]

Dark Knight kicked ass.

[cmwissy]

Yeah but you would think that - you're a clone of every other emo kid.

Bob Kane would strangled Heath Ledger for ruining his character.

'OH LOOK AT ME I HAVE MENTALL ILLNESS SCARY KNIVES WOOO'

[xxaclxx]

Cmwissy LOL

[PhantoMPhreeK92]

lmfao, I love the thumbs down you got on this comment. Like what you said, made sense. But the thumbs downs on it made me laugh.

[crusnikgal01]

Yeah, I know. I laugh at it too. LOL

[brutalhowl]

The question that this film dabbles in (and the book goes into great mystery over) is whether or not Patrick Bateman killed anyone, some of the people, or whether it was all a crazy hallucination

[crusnikgal01]

Huh. Now that was actually something I was wondering about as well after I watched this. I have to admit, even though I did not like the movie, that was the plus to it. I've never read the book, though.

[brutalhowl]

Well, I highly recommend the book

[crusnikgal01]

That's something I might do, actually. I always give a book a chance.

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

i dont see any sort of mystery in the book hes a killer

[brutalhowl]

Well, thats the amazing thing about great books like this, it's open to interpretation. Some believe he did everything, some believe he killed no one, i believe he did some of it.

Brett Easton Ellis (the author) publicly said that his character never killed anyone, though his fans reckon he said that to stop getting such bad press...

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

woa thats interesting that brett said that when i first read the book someone said like isnt it all in his head? and i found the book sooooo disturbing that i was looking for something to see that it was fake id like to see something in the book that would make me think it was fake, i dont understand why he wouldnt have killed the bum at least

[brutalhowl]

I think it was the fact that he got away with it all so easily that the reader was meant to assume he was making it up, that and the book itself got crazier as he did - e.g the chapters got shorter, the character starting noting stupidly wierd things, ect....i recommend read it again to see if you pick up anything that may make you doubt Patrick

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

the fact of how easy he gets away with it was the whole theme of people not wanting to rock the boat, bateman besides sneaking off an murdering someone at times, isnt even the worst in his group when i read the book i noticed how nasty price not brice and mcdermott were (i cant find my copy of AP)

[Rage2552]

I think he got away with it because everyone was so wrapped up in themselves, they had no idea. That's what I gather from the movie, as I haven't read the book. He drops hint after hint and even flat out telling people he's a psychopathic murderer, and they don't even pay any attention to it.

[gageiiiiitttt]

if he didnt kill anyone the book would be pointless, it would just be a lurid character driven steam of consciousness which there is nothing wrong if if it is compellingly written (which it arguably is).

if he did kill people then the fact that got away with it (because his colleagues were so self centered and materialistic) this would be a comment on the state morality in affluent western society.

take your pick

[dejakhalz]

@Rage2552 No. This scene, and many others, are only from his imagination. It didn't happen... duh

[CTronicz]

@Rage2552 thats because, if you read the book.. most of what hes doing is actually inside his head hence the scribbles in the book and the end scene where it turns out he didnt kill paul allen and the fact that he doesnt get caught and the blatent give away when he thinks the atm is telling him to feed it the stray cat lol

[LucaTurilli89]

@CTronicz lol the stray cat is imaginary but the author insisted that the killings where real and not in his head!

[SpinningFaithProject]

@CTronicz well if u think about a recurring theme of mistaken identity, his lawyer said he had dinner with paul 10 days ago or who HE thought was paul allen. very obvious theme and it may play a part in the question are the killings and this shootout real?

[JayJoeHey]

I cant stop laughing..hhahahaha

[masked321321]

@Rage2552

Kinda, in the book it's never made entirely that clear wheather he did it or not. The point of the killings is to establish that these people were never missed due to them effectively being scene after all the supposed murders. It depends how metaphorical you want to interpret it. That's how I see it anyway.

[LoveMichiru]

he didn't kill anyone it's not possible. then how do you explain that he didn't kill Luis Carruthers in the water closet and Jean, his secretary ?

[Mietin]

that's soooooo my new style in getting my pen from my chest pocket :D

[CAinfowarrior]

****** HEAD SHOT ******

[SusssudiO]

one of my favorite scenes :D very funny scene

[Rage2552]

I would figure you'd like the Phil Collins scene.

[Hennalex]

damn it what a film !

[GeorgeReitmann]

Oops... wrong tower lol

[fathogwrestler]

none?

[damientpcp]

I hope you're joking

[frambesbuckeye]

Never. Bateman is a hero and inspiration.

[krackerhoofd]

totally agreed

[BritishCog]

well, that's good. the ones idolizing him are lowlifes. ugly too.

the reason he is interesting is because all of you believe he has everything. materialistically. as well as beauty. we all know that those idolizing him have none, so wish to be him.

believe me, the ones i know who idolize him, have none. fucking losers. just enjoy the film. all of you who are not idolizing him, are badass mother fuckers.

[frambesbuckeye]

Actually I just want to kill a lot of people :)

[BritishCog]

that is because you are a little girl.

[frambesbuckeye]

That's fine as long as I get to kill you.

[BritishCog]

Try, as long as you have the talent fool.

I'd rather eat you. (= But then again, you're poor.

[bouncingsoul100]

you need a holiday mate

[AleksisLovesBeauty]

Hysterical

[Critchy39]

You can understand why Bateman was unhappy and had to resort to killing the poor old bastard.

In this ecenocic climate, theres alot of people on the doll. But they dont like it announced so it echos throught the whole building
