I do agree. I think he only killed the woman that gave him a piece of blonde hair, and the homeless man. I feel the homeless man wasn't a planned killing, I think he was going to be nice to him and maybe even help him. But he is still filled with anger (especially after the card scene) and starts to insult and then kill him and the dog accompanying the homeless man to release the anger quickly. Him, being upper class would make sense, especially since a good amount of the people Patrick "Kills" could be lower class, such as the prostitutes and the homeless killings he admits to his lawyer. I believe Patrick only killed that homeless man to release the anger he had. What I would say, it's a mix of him being in a world where everyone is greedy, and obsessed with self-image, Schizophrenia, And his own messed up fantasy. So, I'm going to say he's killed at least 2-3 people at most. He did not kill Paul Allen; He did not kill anyone with a chainsaw. One thing I want to point out, is that one thing Patrick is passionate about is music. Music could be an escape from his insanity and his thoughts of killing. Every time I'm on the school bus, heading or leaving to school, I listen to music. And if I'm able to, I sometimes listen to music in school, or just in the car to make a trip go by faster. When he's in the limo, he's listening to music to avoid talking to Evelyn. He listens to music when he's at work. So, his love for music, and my love for music, kind of gives me the feeling we have something in common. I mean, I'll listen to a song on the school bus so I can prepare myself for going to a place I hate going, because I absolutely hate school. And on the way back, I listen to music that I enjoy heavily, and has a happier tone to it because I'm leaving school and I'm going home, and also because I am just a casual music enjoyer. Patrick uses music as an escape. I use music as an escape (sometimes). Patrick Walks down the hall to his office so he can avoid talking to people, I do the same on the bus sometimes. Of course, Patrick has a completely different taste in music. He'll be listening to Phil Collins, Genesis, Huey Luis and the news. I'll be listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Ect. So, music is the only thing we know about his hobbies I feel like. And I think music is the only part of happiness Patrick feels except for fantasizing about killing and actually killing people, and watching people suffer. Music was very well used in the movie, I don't exactly like the music he's listening to, but I do like the way music is used so we can see a glimpse into Patrick Batemans last bit of sanity. Very great character analysis, and I think you did a great job.

You mentioned Kimball isn't real? Please explain. Great content man, subbed!

Nice pfp

I cried at this comment, I'm sorry😂

He’s only in the movie for like 6 minutes

Omg he meant the joke about Paul Allen's card, obviously you haven't watched this film enough to understand the darkness.of it's humour

That is really super...how'd s nitwit like you get so tasteful?

I agree with every single word you've said haha you've spoken my mind!

Also notice how the detective stops showing up when he stops worrying about Paul Allen

Not to mention it is clearly indicated that the murder was fantasy since 3 people saw it and never questioned him the security, his friend (I forgot his name) and the lady he was with not to mention he left a blood trail and the security didn't react

oh so he DOES kill, lets say the homeless, and hookers, maybe even the old lady, but not paul allen. and his lawyer heard him, got his message, but of course he didnt kill paul allen, and his lawyer is also a "american psycho" so, he doesnt care if he killed hookers or other ppl that are irrelevant for him.

But what really blurs it is that the lawyer didn’t even recognize Bateman, so why should we assume he recognizes Paul Allen? It just as well could be real. Who knows?

Or "Bateman gets the last word", always

That was a good one.

Was it all in his head though? 🤔

if you rewatch the scene where he goes to visit paul allen’s house only for it to be renovated, I’d argue that the realter covered up the murders for her own self interest as it would greatly diminish the value of the property. Its very eerie when looking at that scene with that view.

that's not true, actually all/most murders did happen

That's definitely what that scene implied

@@verapamil07 how do you know?

@@creatommotearc346 the guy who wrote the book confirmed. All things that happened were real, maybe slighlty exhaggerated since Patrick was already mentally ill. The book is also clear that all things happened.

Yeah Christian Bale is my favorite part of this movie. He's extremely versatile and it shows perfectly in this film. Apparently DiCaprio was supposed to get the role first but his management told him to pass on it (I always wonder what that would've been like. He definitely could've been pretty amazing as well. It's an interesting thought). I'm so glad you mentioned the colors and set design, that's such a great point. I always noticed it was bland as well and it sets the tone for the film so well. It's a risky decision that really pays off here. And yes, Patrick's status has a huge effect on how people treat him. That's also a really great point. We do often ignore the glaring flaws of our heroes. Thank you so much for watching and liking, it means a lot! So glad you enjoyed!!

@@lucasblue20 happy to watch. good analysis like always

​@lucasblue20 I just read an interview where the actors working w him thought he was such a bad actor/ so cold and calculated behind his eyes /not natural and they completely took it back when they saw the entire movie. Genius

Wow that's super interesting to hear, and it really makes sense. Kimball really does seem like a very isolated character, only there for Patrick. I'm glad to hear this insight! And thank you so much, I'm really glad the analysis could introduce some new ideas. It's always a goal for me to include my most unique and personal thoughts. Thank you so much for watching!!

I think all his killings were hallucinated. Psychopaths have these thoughts but many don’t commit any murders. Psychopaths tend to be very financially successful because their lack of empathy pushes them to higher levels.

Yeah so does literally 99% of every movie ever made but that's beside the point

Yes. Plus the security/staff not noticing the blood stain while he was dragging the bag w/ body. Plus, he was not even cared at all about the blood stain too!!

Completely agree with everything you've said

This means so much! Thank you!! It's really great to hear that you connect with the videos so well because I love creating them. I'll certainly keep the weekly videos coming. Feel free to give me movie suggestions too whenever you like!! Thank you!

Thank you so much and yes, assimilate is the perfect word. He's become the culture and knows nothing more even if he tries. And yeah, I was looking closely for a description on the pill bottle but couldn't see anything specific. Like you said though, it ties in with the disorders or conditions that Patrick likely has. I love your insights! Thank you so much for watching!!

what

@@zephyrsaix8319 its clear, Patrick is a cat

Honestly somehow this makes sense.

What the fuck

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was clear and understandable, and I'm super happy to hear you loved it! It really means so much to me, thank you for watching!!

Thank you!! Yeah my classic analyses are pretty lowkey, but I'm so glad you found this one. Thank you for subscribing, feel free to suggest any new or old film you would like to see analyzed as well! I'd be happy to do it and add it to the poll.

Wow thank you so much! Yeah the videos do take some time sometimes haha but the process is so much fun! I'll keep uploading weekly, thank you, this means a lot!!

Wow thank you so much!! Chris Stuckmann is my favorite movie reviewer on KZfaq, so it means everything to me that you even mentioned his name. I'll certainly keep the videos coming every single week (except this coming Saturday because of an intense heatwave in my city that made my room unbearable to edit in haha). Thank you so much, it really means so much to me!!

It's so fulfilling to hear this, I'm so glad you enjoyed! Thank you!!

I'm so happy to hear this, thank you! It's one of the most meaningful things when someone has new ideas emerge from the video. Thank you so much for watching!!

I am so glad this was clear and concise! It's always my goal to make my analysis as understandable as possible because the movies themselves can be super confusing so thank you so much! And thank you for watching and subscribing! Feel free to recommend anything new or old!!

Thank you! Yeah this movie isn't as dense as some others like Fight Club or No Country for Old Men. A huge part of the film's appeal is it's satire and parody which are very purposefully simplistic. Thank you for watching!!

Hey, I remember telling you I was gonna watch Hard To Be A God and I watched it today. It is incredibly immersive and all of the praise makes perfect sense. I just felt like I was another person on this planet the way the camera was always in motion. The absence of music was also a great choice to heighten the immersion. Everything felt so lived in. It was really disgusting but in a good way haha it's such a unique experience. Its criticism on society and the development of civilization I still need to think about but I will certainly add this to my polls list for a full analysis. Thank you for this!!

@@lucasblue20 Disgust keeps us safe from contagious things, such as ideas.

@@IMFLondon haha very true, even fits in the context of this movie!!

@@lucasblue20 Thank you for taking the time to reply. You have been analysing films that I enjoyed dearly like Pi and The Lighthouse. Strange how they are mostly in black and white, like how a colouring book starts out before you add colour to it. Also, I noticed those 'How to Beat' videos are popular nowadays. Maybe for Hard to Be a God, you could sidetrack into How to Beat a God :) too.

Personally I think it’s a combination all especially of 2 & 3. I think they cleaned up the mess for him but he didn’t do everything he thought he did. Also everyone is hella self observed in that circle. Power and money gets a lot of people out of a lot of mess & his dad was CEO. They’ve got that silent wealth.

Thank you so much my friend! It’s so cool to hear we’re on the same page when there can be so many different interpretations. I’m so glad you enjoyed and I’ll certainly keep them coming. Thank you again!!

Than you so much! So glad you enjoyed!! And yeah apparently the book is just as great in every way. I heard it's really funny and has even more layers to it than the film. Thank you for watching!!

This means so much to me my friend! Thank you so much, I’ll keep them comin!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed because the movie is fantastic!!

So happy to hear! Thank you so much!!

Haha that's awesome! This film is definitely one to rewatch every now and then. It's so good and so much fun. Thank you so much for watching!!

Thank you so much! I'll keep uploading every week!!

Thank you so much and I’m so happy u like the videos! More to come in July!!

Thank you! We agree on pretty much everything it seems, and I'm really glad you see it all as subjective. There are so many ways to take this film because of all the details, I love it. I'm so glad you enjoyed, thank you so much for watching!!

Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!! So glad you like it!!

Haha wow thank you so much for this! I've only had this channel for a year, so I'm really glad you're enjoying! So much more to come, thank you again!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much and welcome!! Plenty more to come!

Thank you so much my friend, so happy to hear you enjoyed!

Wow this really means a lot! There are like a million KZfaq analyses on this film, so thank you so much!! And thank you for watching!!

Thank you so much!! This movie blew my mind as well especially at the end haha thank you for watching!

Thank you so much my friend! Yeah, the movie shocked me as well in a fantastic way, it’s a true classic. All the best to you, from Canada 🇨🇦

It's great

Thank you!! Yeah I agree that a perverse psychopath can't accurately analyze who they are and that's exactly the cycle that Patrick seems to be trapped in. And thank you again! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the upper class ignorance part because I was super fascinated by the symbolism of the fact that Patrick's affiliates never noticed his psychopathy. By the way, I'll be doing a poll with Dogville very soon. Can't wait to watch it!!

Thank you so much! Plenty more to come, and please feel free to suggest me anything you like!!

Thank you so much! I love the Patrick character, one of my favorites ever. And yes, this movie is most certainly a classic!!

@@lucasblue20 keep these reviews coming !

@@damianstarks3338 i most certainly will! New video tmrw morning

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed!!

This means so much! Thank you!!

I hope you enjoy! And yeah it’s all super self-aware with satirical misogyny, sexism, and stereotyping. None of it is genuine. Thank you so much for watching and I’m so glad u enjoyed!!

Wow this is so great to hear, thank you! Yeah, it's so subjective when it comes to who he's harming and why he's harming them. It makes the film so fun to watch and re-watch. Thank you so much for subscribing and watching, it means a lot!!

Thank you so much!!

I’m sorry about your mother and I’m glad you’re finding joy in being a part of your grandson’s life. He’s blessed to have you and be able to know you as a grandfather. Some of us aren’t as lucky.

Thank you my friend! I’ll be checking out this book soon, I would love to dig into the details of the novel. Thank you for watching!!

Oh nice, you have way more insight on the themes and ideas since you've read the book, so that is so great to hear!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, even though the movie is hilarious, Patrick's story is pretty tragic. Thanks so much for watching!!

@@lucasblue20 Yeah, putting aside the gruesome thing he did throughout the story, his motivation just stems from the lack of human interaction that exists in elite lifestyle, like you mentioned. I feel like Patrick could use a therapist lol Also, try checking out the book if you're interested, it's a great roller coaster ride hah. Cheers

@@sacredyveltal4688 Yeah I gotta read this book, it seems too fascinating and funny. When I have read it, I'll let you know and maybe I'll do a movie vs. book video. I think that could be cool later down the road with the channel. Thank you so much for this!

@@lucasblue20 You're welcome! A video analysis/comparison between the book and movie would be interesting! I'll be looking forward to your decision :)

I could get into more of that topic... but I have to return some videotapes

Hahahaha this made me laugh very hard after reading your theory, love your theory as well

Wow thank you! Hopefully, the video continues to grow, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it, it means so much!!

Wow, thank you so much my friend! I’ll certainly keep them comin, they’re so much fun. I’m so glad you enjoyed and thank you so much for watching!!

@@lucasblue20 no problem at all. always happy to support my fellow content creators. I am looking forward to improving on my own current video format I have uploaded and, in the future, trying to create content as good as yours in the long term.

@@KeyserTheRedBeard thank you and all the luck to you! Practice makes perfect!!

Hahahaha thank you and no I cannot, but dinner at Dorsia with Patrick would be the dream

Haha this comment actually really means a lot! My goal is always to be as clear and thorough as possible, so thank you so much!!

Thank you so much my friend! You’re the first person to request Whiplash and I actually haven’t seen that movie but I heard it’s excellent and I know the whole student vs teacher aspect would be super interesting to explore. And yeah Memento is a classic, I could do that as well. I’ve had quite a few requests on that too. I’ll put both of these in an upcoming poll (the one after the one upcoming now). Thank you so much for the suggestion and thank you for watching!!

@@lucasblue20 no problem i actually watched the clips for american psycho and then i accidentally stumbled upon your chanel watched 3 videos of classics and i see you analyze very well, i would like too message you of a cool detail about whiplash when you watch it i think it would be a good thing for the video if you want reply too me ill give you my discord or you give me mine then ill message you there

i meant yours realized i typed mine 2 times ahahah

@Robo Tiger let’s do it! The only thing is I don’t really know what discord is haha could you tell me how to connect with you on it? It would be really cool!

@@lucasblue20 okay discord is like skype but better see it on google it is now more used when you see this message tell me your nickname and # number we can connect that way ill add you then
