Why was Williem Dafoe so fucking perfect in this scene?

dropped
because he's creepy yet still respectable
What's the topic of discussion?
i heard they did 2 takes, one where dafoe acted as if he suspected patrick, and another where he wasn't sure ,and they intercut it
>using the word "perfect" to describe anything about American Psycho
I suppose it would fit if you called it "The perfect movie for a subscriber to r/movies"
>>67982670
he has a bigger dick than most humans who have ever lived.
To find bigger you would have to start looking in the porn industry
>>67982670
are you descriping his flaccid penile length?
>>67982800
That's so fucking cool if true.
>>67980928
Because the director had Dafoe do three versions of the scene. One where he wasn't sure that Bateman killed Paul Allen, another where he knew Patrick Bateman killed Paul Allen and finally one where he didn't know Bateman killed Allen. The director then mashed up the takes into the final version.
This is a really clever use of storytelling and should get more praise imo.

There were days /tv/ would stream this movie weekly and you couldn't go one hour without seeing a new thread

>In each scene with Detective Donald Kimball, Harron asked Dafoe to portray the character three different ways:
>1. Kimble knew Patrick Bateman killed Paul Allen.
>2. Kimball didn't know Bateman killed Allen.
>3. Kimball wasn't sure if Bateman killed Allen.
>Harron then edited the takes together, making it hard for the audience to tell what Kimball thought of Bateman.
>>67980928
Because he's a fucking top tier actor
>>67982907
That doesn't mean it's a good movie. /tv/ isn't exactly a haven of good taste

I'm not saying it's a good movie, just you did the whole

curious what the difference is

Epic comeback good sir, have an upvote!
>>67983211
Anyone else think Dafoe is a underrated actor?
>>67982800
3 takes, there was also one where he was sure
this might be my favorite movie on the DL btw

He hired a penis double in Anticchrist because of his tiny wee-wee
>>67983281
I think >>3 meant that he had suspicions but they were unfounded.

Interesting. But in the end it doesn't really matter, right? The point of Kimball is to show that literally nobody cares, even a detective. They're all too wrapped up in making appearances, or fascinated with trivial things (like compact discs).
>>67983537
It was supposed to make the audience think about what was Kimball's impression. By splitting the scenes, it keeps the audience guessing whether he thought Bateman was the killer or not.
The interesting thing about that scene is that they did three takes. One where Dafoe acted like he knew Bateman was the killer, one where Dafoe was unsure, and one where Dafoe didnt think he was the killer. They then edited all the three different takes together creating a very interesting scene.
>eerie. really eerie
what did he mean by this?
What's really cool is the director had Dafoe do three takes for all of his scenes - one where he suspects Bateman is the killer, one where he's not sure Bateman is the killer, and one where he doesn't think Bateman is the killer. Then he spliced together the three takes to keep the viewer guessing about Kimball.

When will Bale play a bad guy again? This was his best role so far.
>>67982800
I love it when films do shit like this. Dr. Strangelove comes to mind too
One thing about this movie that I think is really cool is that the director made him do three takes for his scenes: one where he suspects Bateman is the killer, one where he's not sure if Bateman is the killer, and one where he just doesn't think he's the killer at all. The editors then put together pieces of all those different takes to add a layer of complexity to the character
>>67984288
>bad guy
but he didn't kill anyone in this movie
Do you guys happen to know any cool trivia about this scene?
>>67984429
I am pretty sure that at least 10 different people have already answered this in the thread with the same response.
>>67984398
You know what I mean
Wanna hear an interesting fact? The director made him do three takes for his scenes: one where he suspects Bateman is the killer, one where he's not sure if Bateman is the killer, and one where he just doesn't think he's the killer at all. The editors then put together pieces of all those different takes to add a layer of complexity to the character
The one really interesting thing about this scene is that they shot this scene doubly, so to speak, and get repeating shots that were then doubly intercut. Then on top of that they got another take, making it a triple scene, in other words a repeating scene, in the same way integers might repeat themselves one after another.
>>67984398
He definitely killed that homeless dude and his puppers
>>67980928
The interesting thing about that scene is that they did three takes. One where CIA acted like he knew Bane was the Masketta man, one where CIA was unsure, and one where CIA wasn't in charge here. They then edited all the three different takes together creating a very big scene.
I think the most fascinating thing about this scene is that the director actually had the scene shot thrice. Each time he instructed Dafoe to act differently, once as if he knew Bateman was a murderer, once as if he had no idea and once as if he was unsure.
Quite an interesting, and little known, bit of trivia if you ask me.
>>67980928
He makes every movie better desu
>>67983389
Actually quite the opposite, his dick was too big to make it seem like the scene wasn't comical. Check out Willem Dafoe dancing naked videos, you can see his sandworm flopping all over the place.

Jesus H. Christ, this shit is both hilarious and impressive.
Dude's flaccid and flippin' and floppin' all over the place.

Here's something neato: the actually did 3 takes for all of Dafoe's scenes: one where he thinks Bateman did it, one where he's not sure, and one where he's ripping silent, greasy burrito farts but trying to act like he isn't. Then they spliced all the scenes together to make it look like one take. Crazy, right?

have to see a movie in which he actually plays the lead role to tell. he's great in to live & die in l.a. i have to say.
Not even the director was safe from Dafoe's twisted vision.

Wow, nice dubs... Now check this!
So apparently, in this scene, the director used 3 takes. William Dafoe did three scenes, one where Dafoe knew Bateman was the killer, one where he was unsure, and one where he thought he was innocent. Afterwards, all three takes were blended together, creating one scene.
Not sure if you guys know this, but in this particular scene the director of the movie "American Psycho" - starring Christian Bale and Willem Dafoe - in fact shot this scene three separate times, and then intercut various parts of it into one whole in the final edit. The reasoning behind this is as follows: the audience is meant to watch the scene unfold through Patrick's eyes and experience the same paranoia that the protagonist feels in the moment by seemingly changing the Detective's demeanour on a whim. One cut was shot in such a way as to make it seem as though the Detective was fully suspicious of Patrick, and believed that he had in fact killed Paul Allen. The second was meant to convey that he was unsure as to the guilt or innocence of the aforementioned protagonist. The third, logically, was supposed to put forth the illusion that he suspected Bateman not one iota. It really is a fascinating bit of trivia!
i think im having a stroke
Little known fact: Willem Dafoe's scenes were filmed three times. Once where he acted like he knew Bateman was the killer, once where he wasn't sure, and once where he didn't know. The scenes were intercut to create a masterclass of pure kinographilmography which has never ever been surpassed. Bravo.
They actually shot this scene three separate times. Once where Dafoe knew that Bateman was the killer, another where he wasn't quite sure and another where he thought Bateman was innocent. Afterwards they edited parts of the 3 different takes into the final cut.
>>67985663
good cameo in pulp fiction too
>ITT: Creative Writing with /tv/
>Q: Here is a passage from a short essay, put the passage into your own words to describe the scene.
Some trivia about this scene. Dafoe actually performed three takes of it: one, where he knows Bateman killed Paul Allen, another where he didn't know, and a third scene where he couldn't be certain if Bateman was the killer. Then, the three scenes were edited together to produce a final cut that leaves the detective's thoughts unclear. Quite a novel approach, really.
So check this out, /tv/. The director actually shot this scene three times. Appearently Dafoe was told to act in three different ways in each take:
1. Being sure that Bateman is guilty
2. Not knowing that to think about Bateman
3. Being sure Bateman is innocent
Then the director interwined this to create the effect you see on the film. Pretty cool, huh?
the little-known 4th take of this scene involved Chloe Sevigny blowing Bale and Dafoe at the same time.
Why did he mean by this ?
>>67987934
I use this excuse all the time.
-tip-
Hey, I just read something really interesting. Apparently the director filmed this scene not once, not twice, but thrice. One where the detective thinks Bateman has something to do with the disappearance of Paul Allen, one where he doesn't suspect him at all, and another where he only has a suspicion! It's to create the effect of paranoia that Bateman must be feeling in the eyes of the viewer! Imagine that!
