  This is why casting directors deserve so much credit for the work they put in. Getting the right lead role can easily make or break a film.

  Harron and Bale were the perfect duo for this movie because they both understood how ridiculous it is. The other directors were just so eager to turn Bateman into a sympathetic character, charmer with a dark side, bad boy serial killer. But Harron and Bale understood that Patrick Bateman is nothing but a performance. A scathing satire.

  &quot;I played Bateman as if he was envisioning himself in the starring role of his own movie.&quot;<br>&quot;Ultimately, Bateman&apos;s great punishment is that no one cares enough to find him out.&quot;<br><br>Really, those two elements come together to tell you everything about the brilliance behind this. Bale was exactly on the same page as his director in a way that no one else could have been.

  Bale continuing to prepare for Bateman as a barely known actor after he was fired and then everyone on set thinking he sucked, obviously taking huge risks with the character and his performances: thats just so fucking inspiring

  &quot;At the time, Bale had only done a few minor roles in period dramas.&quot; (Shots of him playing the lead in a Steven Spielberg film, the lead in a Disney musical, a main character in a Gillian Armstrong film.)

  Good, I&apos;m glad she stood her ground. Her instincts with Bale was spot on.

  Baby faced DiCaprio simply wouldn&apos;t be able to convey the deep absurdity of this book. I&apos;d imagine it would totally go over his head as he is part of the showbiz that the book takes the piss with
