I've not seen the movie, but a friend has made this comment very strongly, and where better to turn than to our DU community to ask. LOL

TYIA!



On Edit: I do not believe the person who had made this comment was speaking of physical appearance. Rather beardo's "vibe," and his demeanor.

1. A comedian said...

Except for the beard, he looks like he just stole Pee Wee Herman’s bicycle.

3. LOL

Thanks for weighing in.

2. Christian Bale played the killer in A/P

Vance looks nothing like Bale, with or without a beard.

4. It was not the physical appearance the person was referring to.

My apologies if I misrepresented what the person stated.

I'm sure the person was referring to his "vibe," his capacity to do bad things.

5. The character Patrick Bateman is obsessed with Donald Trump. There are about 25 references to him in the book

Trump's book, Trump Tower, Trump Plaza, Ivana, Trump's yacht, Trump's parties etc.

Ivanka was quite the fan of Bale.

In her 20s, [Ivanka] said her ideal man, the one she had fantasies about, was Christian Bale in American Psycho playing Patrick Bateman, who is, of course, an ’80s scenester just like her father was back then—suspenders, slicked-back hair, chops up women for a hobby.

🤮

JD strikes me as a different kind of character. I think he'll say or do anything to get power and he thinks he is smarter than everyone else in the room. And he is holier-than-thou of course.
