Do you like Kino Corner? His early work was a little too normie for my tastes, but when Drive (2011)| Literally Me came out in '20, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole channel has a clear, crisp humour , and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the videos a big boost. He's been compared to the needle drop, but I think Kino has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '20, Kino released this, “Literally Me”, his most accomplished series. I think his undisputed masterpiece is, “American Psycho|Literally Me ", a video so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the narration. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about Kino himself.

I would also say that Patrick Bateman has become a literally me character due to how relatable it is in how he is basically not allowed to be himself to anyone. I think a lot of people feel a bit suffocated by how its expected that everyone exercise the same peppy all smiles professional personality while out in public and if they express any real emotion, opinion, or behavior then they suffer the consequences, be it unemployment or being slandered.

@@bumblingdolphin9281 This. While we do live in an age where trying to express yourself is punishable, Patrick Bateman literally goes around killing people. It's like a dark parody of a fragile male. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm not a vulnerable person, but Patrick Bateman is vulnerable to a degree that's unjustifiable because he's horribly violent. This is not a Literally Me character, this character is a type of obstacle for many Literally Me characters. Violent psychopaths who take their frustrations out on innocent people that don't deserve it. Sure, fuck Paul Allen, don't care how illegal his death is, but all the women he's killed really didn't deserve it, and his true intention is revealed. His self-expression is at the expense of others to the point that others can no longer express themselves, because they're literally fucking dead. Patrick Bateman puts others down. He's an evil person. There is no way to genuinely relate to him, especially because he makes it as clear as possible at the start of the movie that nobody can be like him, and he has no true self expression or deep message. He is a void. He is unfeeling. Sure, he expresses emotions, but look at any depressed person, they can laugh or cry but if you ask them to describe how they feel, they will say that there's nothing there. They can laugh, but there's no happiness in them. They can cry, but there's no true genuine sadness in them. No matter how "relatable" he might appear, he ultimately isn't relatable, because everybody and everything is a target for him. He's a true, genuine predator looking for some meat. He's not a Literally Me character. He's the antithesis to a Literally Me. He's the unfeeling void that bullies others and kills them, while Literally Me characters are typically victims of bullies and empty people and fight back against these types of people and concepts.

Really not sure how you relate this to cancel culture? You say its “relatable” he cant be himself, but he makes it pretty clear hes an empty husk who just wants violence, so if you relate to that get therapy maybe? He murders his co worker, like i really dont think hes too concerned with losing his job and getting “cancelled”. He pretty much says he dons the fake/peppy persona because without it theres only a void, and its like a predatory tactic to get close to people. He has no suppressed personality, because he has no personality to begin with But that being said, however, the movie itself does certainly make that case. Like you didn’t get a message that wasn’t there, it just wasn’t something Bateman himself was concerned with. Maybe thats all you were saying haha

I think something that makes people with repressed emotions relate to him is the way he masks around people, how he says the right thing at the right time with the right tone to create the impression he wants (at least if we take what happens in the movie at face value). Men tend to repress emotions a lot, but when I first watched the movie, I related to him as an autistic woman because of that ability to mask and how truly hollow he is as a person beyond the bloodlust and masking. Pretending to be someone you aren’t to survive in society can truly leave you feeling like that, and you don’t often see main characters that mask like Bateman does

So I watched this yesterday and for probably the thousandth time, but I noticed something new. When Patrick is dragging Paul’s body in his Jean Paul Gaultier bag through his buildings lobby, he’s leaving a huge blood trail with the front door in sight. When it cuts to Patrick hailing a cab with the same doors right behind him, there is no blood trail. Everything is happening in Patrick’s head.

I think Bateman is so Literally Us because he's so up front about how false he is. We feel how corrupt, upsidedown and inhuman society is and we are drawn to these sick satirical depictions that represent this to the fullest. But even more, we have dreams which cannot be quenched in such an environment, a 9-5 in the claustrophobia-inducing corridors of an office under bright sterile florescent lighting. We want to transcend our society just as Bateman wanted to, this desire so burning yet he found, unfulfillable, that he was forced into a psychic split, his only outlet his journal where his dreams for being distinct from those around him took on a distinction of a rabid violent and sexual nature. The mask that Bateman had to wear day in and day out, the hip safe mistakeable Clark Kent NPC persona, saying all the right things and emoting at all the right times, is the same mask we feel we will have to wear if we hope to fit in...and, we Batemen... we're not sure we want to. PS Hey Kino please read my feature film script! I'm also a cinephile living in Austin, TX, and I would love to make a film with you ❤️✊✌️

At the beginning you mention that the novel reads out like Baetman's diary. Having battled severe depression myself, I had a notebook that I usually wrote my twisted thoughts, and it contained a lot of murder. It's just when you are overloaded with all kinds of thoughts and emotions, all that stress builds up as anger and violence. Although one point seperating my and Baetman's twisted fanfictions is that mine focused more on the emotional side of the death and how and why it would make me feel, while Baetman is just fueled with bloodlust. And that's what seperates the "normal" human from a "psycho".

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste, but when Sports came out in ‘87, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!

What she said was more like: "he's a killer but to what extent is debatable" There's one moment in the movie that had to be imagined: the chainsaw drop. there's now way he could hit her in the side from directly above. no way!! it's back up by the scene that follows straight after. he's drawing the chainsaw/woman image on the napkin. that's because he's playing it out right there in his head while his girl is yammering on, it didn't happen for real.

It's a great story, and I would even say it's like a modern version of American Psyco.

I'm more of a fan of the book, as the violence does add a lot. It shows the true depravity of Patrick, how completely disconnected from humanity he is. There's also the part where he goes on a vacation with Evelyn, specifically when he stands over her bed, contemplating her murder, but eventually decides to not go through with it. I would like to think Evelyn was actually awake during that part, probably terrified of Bateman. Scenes like this really should've found their way into the movie, because really no part of Bateman's horrific side is actually presented in the movie. All the killings he commits are rather cartoonish, with Patrick being a raving lunatic during them compared to his silent manner in many of the book's murders. The book's representation of his crimes against humanity leaves no room for liking Patrick, which unfortunately many people online actually like him, in which I think this is the movie's fault, because the memes make him to be "Quirky and whacky" because the film makes little effort to show anything other than the comedic side of Bateman. If it made the effort to balance out the comedic and horror sides of the character, the film would've been much better, in my opinion.
@MrLukhut1

Never read the book, but I felt the same way about the movie. I wasn't much of a fan of it because of its dream-like feeling. Everytime he kills it follows a pretty sharp scene change and that led to me expecting a "it was all a dream!" type ending. Instead I was just kinda confused as to what I had just watched. Maybe Ill check out the book instead.

I think he resembles something that Erich Fromm defines in "To Have or To Be" as a marketing personality, the dominating pattern today in our constructions of ourselves, as we experience ourselves as commodities and as something to sell, always having to brand ourselves and our ego to what is on deman, hence his constant interest to what is cool on the moment, this pattern of character alienates one from its true self and emotions, from what he calls the Being existential mode of existing, as you are just a personality that Has (hence the title of the book) a lot of traits like "adventurous", "cool" or that someone that has a lot of material possessions

I haven’t read Lunar Park or Glamorama but despite or because of this I think Bret Easton Ellis is a truly great novelist, an American classic. I never before thought about trying to illuminate what his work is about through a lens of critical writing about postmodernism, but what you discuss in the final third of the video has a lot in common with Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, and The Spirit of Terrorism. I also lol’d at the Falling Down, Fight Club, Taxi Driver bit. Great video! Also the spirit of those music reviews lives on in the monologues that Ellis delivers on his podcast. I don’t subscribe, but a handful are available for free. I recommend the Owen Gleibermann episode; it begins with a great long anecdote about Ellis tweeting about some Ben Affleck Batman related hearsay in 2016 and the brief drama that ensued, proving that maybe despite his doubts, some people might still care about a movie in this day and age.

the beginning dialoge was phenomenal ! just one thing, even though many people shared their opinion, they are all a bit different. maybe its such a tiny change we cant feel it, but its there. the different life experiences, the different viewpoints. there was never someone who lived trough the same thing and saw the little detail like you had, thats the beauty of film making (or any art). we get to experience and crawl into someone elses mind for a bit and it triggers something within us. as much as there is a point of this film, everyone can take away their own importance and keep that hidden gem just for themselves, or share it with everyone else:)

I may come back and edit this comment when I finish the video but… I like the some kills are real but some fake take. However, I want to argue that the Paul Allen kill being real theoretically makes the social commentary in the film (I haven’t read the book yet, but it’s on my list) more interesting. The way I see it, if the Paul Allen murder was real then that holds the implication that his landlord discovered the bodies and cynically decided to dispose of them so to not tank the property value of prime real estate- which I think adds a lot to the criticism of yuppie culture and the upper class, with the maintenance of looking good and having monetary value and status being valued above solving brutal murders in this case. Side note I’m really enjoying this analysis!
