@emmabennett76992 жыл бұрын
@@cananary I think we have smart actors now. Like Adam Driver for example. However even during this era, you had films like Fight Club which contains similar themes about capitalism and how feel about their lives and in the interviews with the actors the only thing they ever talked about was how "crazy" it was, never really acknowledging the themes. Not to mention nowadays the media industry is way, way more commercial and saturated. Everyone's always trying to appeal to the masses so they have to vague and the really big projects they do don't give the actors much room to actually talk about layered meanings like this. Not that there aren't any more creatives who are witty and smart it's just that they aren't getting the funding to make what they want to make.

When Christian arrived on set, he was surprised and slightly disheartened that there were no birds to be found. Undeterred, Mr. Bale proceeded to give a performance of a lifetime (which, in worm-years, is up to nine years).

I went through a massive state of depression when the machinist came out and I weighed close to 90 lbs and stopped sleeping for over 120 hours. I will never forget the connection I made with the character, my guilt wasn't so heavy but it weighed enough to cause me to almost quit. I'm aware Christian will never see this but he really gave me something to relate to and admire and I needed that in that time. Thank you Christian.

I actually don't ever think of Christian Bale as a single role and he is maybe one of the few actors I feel that way about. He has been in so many really good movies and such a variety of roles that I can think of several.

@Yepmyaccount2 жыл бұрын
I think a lot of it has to do with him having the ability to change his appearance so thoroughly for each role that a lot of other actors just don't have. Most actors look pretty much the same role to role, so it can ruin the immersion by your brain just acknowledging it's that actor instead of that character.

My suspicion is that, whenever they skip an obvious movie, it's because the actor didn't want to talk about it. Which is understandable, I'm sure not every film shoot goes smoothly, with the actor getting along with everybody, loving their co-stars and directors etc. Which makes these videos kinda dishonest in a way, cos all we ever hear about is the ones that went well. But hearing actors say nice things about each other is nicer than gossip, so I don't mind.

What he said about playing Batman was incredible, and I wish more actors / actresses thought that way. Just because you play a timeless part in a movie franchise doesn't mean you can't be a great character in a totally different film!

But what he said about having the skill to act around that is also very true. Like as much as I love him as an actor Ryan Reynolds will always be Deadpool his standard humor and delivery of how he speaks is what made Deadpool so great but that being said he would have to completely change the way he acts and speaks to make me think of something else.
