Christian Bale's Film History

Of all movie actors deserving an Oscar prize, there's one I feel has earned the award and has not gotten it, he's actor Christian Bale although it is fair to say that Oscar judges generally do a good job choosing the winners.

His big break came with the movie Batman Begins which allowed him to show his many acting faces and shooting him into stardom. Following, some of the films Bale has participated:

Dark Knight is an All American movie which surpassed all the box office and quality expectations. It really is a comic book masterpiece and it should have been nominated for best picture.

Prestige is another great movie where director Christopher Nolan makes duo with Christian Bale. Other actors like Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johannson also participate in this movie.. Bale plays a talented magician whose secret dark past is revealed towards the end of the movie.

For the low budget psychological thriller The Machinist, Christian Bale weighed just 130 pounds, an enormous loss from his Batman Begins weight of 210 pounds.

In the American Psycho, Bale gives an outstanding performance by playing a psycho New Yorker hot shot who does awful things. But the audience finds itself rooting for this villain.

Werner Herzog's Rescue Dawn is a true inspirational story where an imprisoned US pilot, played by Christian Bale, plans to escape from the Laos jungle. As with the weight issue in the Machinist, for this movie Bale had to lose a lot of pounds as well.

Besides acting in thriller movies, Bale gives a great performance in the film. This western movie is a refreshing change of scenery for the audience, for the actor Russell Crow and for Bale himself.

Removable wall decals and sconce lighting will give justice to an elegant home you've just imagined.
