    When Defoe shows the Huey Lewis CD, he's genuinely purchased it and likes it. Bateman is secretly raging because he's talked earlier about how much he loves that album. This breaks Bateman's fantasy that's he's unique and special. It's why he denies having heard of the album, because he doesn't want to be a sheep.

    Not in the book. And Bateman is happy to be a sheep. It's all he and his friends does. Even the opinion piece about Huey Lewis in the book is about comforting into the mainstream and how its a good thing. (Happens WAY later to the Kimball interview) Bateman is not special and he does not portray that. (In the book it's revealed that his family is actually ultra rich, so he doesn't need to work at all. He hates his brother who doesn't and instead travels all around and could easily get an reservation at Dorsia, He is seething with rage at this meeting) He is an empty husk who cant feel anything. It should have been Talking Heads album if they wanted to portray that as it is the favorite band of Patrick Bateman.

    A minor fact that I believe not many people have noticed: some of the characters' names in the film are slightly different from the novel. The ones I noticed are: Timothy Price (novel) -> Timothy Bryce (film); Paul Owen (novel) -> Paul Allen (film); Evelyn Richards (novel) -> Evelyn Williams (film). This really stuck out to me when I watched the film, as I had read the novel first.

    IMO license fee cuts. If you use book names the payout increases but if you use similar names you don't pay for the original names but only the story of the characters. I guess it is the reason because if you take international sales then many movies come without the original dialogues and other countries have to do their own voiceovers. You can also decide if you want to purchase sounds, effects, music and loops or do your own as well. The best voiceovers a country did for years was Poland - one person did all characters :D Male, female, young, old... all one person. And completely emotionless like reading a verdict of a judge :D you can try looking up older movies in polish language to see for yourself. It is crazy :D Oh and adult films were not spared from that "technique" as well :D

    I highly doubt that the designers cared one bit. They probably loved it. I would bet that it was their consultants and PR people who made the decision to publicly voice their displeasure for no reason other than fearing the non-PC optics. Even back in those days they were worried about losing money over what we now call the PC police getting triggered and trying to get people to boycott the company by shaming anyone who would wear their clothes. We know this movie triggered people with liberal sensibilities because it shines a light on those people who virtue signal with fake ideological rants. Bateman’s rant at their first group dinner at Espace was a perfect example of this.

    DiCaprio has shown many times since that he has the acting chops and I'm sure would have done a fine job but Bale was the absolute perfect casting decision. He has tremendous range and talent and amazing instincts. But it was his commitment and understanding of the vision of the screenwriter and director that really nailed it for me. I genuinely think it's one of the most perfect screen performances ever and every time I watch it I am just transfixed by Bale and the way he creates a totally believable character from something that is essentially farcical satire.

    Idk, man. Have you ever seen Man In The Iron Mask? He's absolutely dreadful in that. Even Titanic wasn't all that good a performance (great film overall, but not because Leo was great). He's come a long way in 25yrs, tho, and I think he's one of the best we have today. If we could take Leo from this past decade and cast him then? Absolutely I'd watch that! But 1997/98 Leo? Not a chance. Obviously he had the makings of greatness, but at that time he seriously lacked depth and his characters had nothing more to them than light reflected into a camera lense. Something happened tho mid-2000s. Maybe it was working with Scorcese and Deniro, growing up, not sure, but he's a real talent and pleasure to see now.

    Another unknown… when Ellis turned in the book draft to the publisher, the publisher said they could never release something like that. Way too violent. They dumped Ellis, let him keep his advance (I think $200k), and he shopped it to another publisher. The book was also found by police on the bedside table of infamous Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo.

    12:38 Bale hasn't got a Welsh accent!😂 He was born in Wales, but spent his childhood living in England. (Dorset, Bournemouth & Surrey) When being interviewed for Empire Under the Sun, as a child actor he had a pleasant standard English accent. As an adult he's lived in America longer than in Britain and now has acquired a rather affected odd "cockney" accent!🤔

    Lol I knew about the shrink wrap around the book in Australia because, surprise surprise, I am Aussie and when I went to buy the book after seeing the movie I was like wtf?? I had never even heard of a book being shrink wrapped. It still makes me laugh. At first I found the book kinda boring actually. It's so much of him describing what every single character is wearing and I was like, ok I don't care, get to what happens in this chapter please. But after persisting for a little while, suddenly I found the descriptions and all the clothing was interesting and kind of making it into a page turner for me. I knew the clothing was representative of each character etc but it got boring really fast, until it wasn't. I don't even know how to describe it but suddenly these descriptions were almost intoxicating and I wanted to know. If that isn't a sign of an amazing writer, I don't know what is. I liked the book a lot. I love the movie. And I really enjoyed this video. Good job 👍👍
