What are your favorite Christian Bale performances?

To go from the machinist to batman in 6 months, i dont think he was eating ice cream and pizza. Dude was on GEAR 😂😂😂

To be fair to Bale yelling at the cinematographer, as I understand it, the cinematographer in question had a reputation for walking around during takes and fiddling with equipment, which many actors found distracting, but they just put up with it. Bale was the first actor to call him out, and lot of people in Hollywood applauded him for it.

Christian Bale deserves to get his own biopic film.

i look like christian bale, just don't ask me which version

Another insane sign of dedication was he somehow forced one of his eyes to be lazy, to mirror Michael Burry’s glass eye in the big short

I think Christian Bale is the most dedicated actor of modern times. Other actors would have said CGI could handle them looking skin and bones, or put on a fat suit, and a fat prosthetic face to be Dick Chaney, but he actually does it to be as real as possible, otherwise people don’t buy it.

The Prestige was fantastic. Bale and Jackman made the impossible seem believable

Christian Bale gave a very compelling interview about his working style while he was filming "Vice". He said "I am not a trained actor, I don't have it in me to perform in a certain way out of nothing. Therefore I try to become the person that I play". And than he shared some experience on how weight and hunger change his mood. Following up he told that his wife liked his "vice-shape" because it made him a relaxed guy.

i don’t need to push for him to be considered one of the greatest of all time, i’m just a big fan. While he does bring a lot of physicality and emotion to his roles, he’s an example of one of those actors that disappears completely. I don’t see christian bale, just the character he is playing, and as great as his emotional outbursts in movies are, i also value an actor that just becomes the character

Never thought I'd hear "sigma male crowd" be said in a documentary-type video

So you're telling me Christian Bale could literally compete in every single men's mma weight class available?? Flyweight, Featherweight, Light, Welter, Middle, LHW and HW???? His weight movements are absolutely amazing.

His level of dedication should be admired and commended. Period. It's not like he has children who he is neglecting to do his work.

I admire his dedication because he's a real actor. Not a celebrity.

Two dedicated actors in The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale.... no wonder it's an amazing movie...🙂

A perfect example of a man who doesnt care what people say and stays dedicated to what he loves even if people dont believe in him.

I’m afraid Bale doesn’t have a Welsh accent, he was born there but his accent is very much a north London one.

I am afraid for his health but the dedication he does as an actor is insane

Christian Bale and Gary Oldman are the best actors of this era

A true master of his craft, no matter the genre, money, or the character Bale always seems to go full send and is dedicated to his performance.

Bale was.born in Wales, to English parents and grew up in Bourmouth, England. Bale's real accent is a working class Southeast England accent which is on the.other side of the UK.

Oh my god, it’s kind of cute to hear how he was so invested in his roles as a kid already. Little Christian was so smart.

He’s such an incredible actor. I love the various films he’s made and have been astonished by all of his performances, but his portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman is my favorite and even to a good extent, the best he’s done. The different personas he plays is truly well done. He nailed the three sides of Bruce Wayne. He nailed Batman amazingly, channeling the kind of anger and pain Bruce would exhume as Batman and intimidated the normal every night criminal very effectively. While people make fun of his voice, it’s smart he’d have to change it considering how Bruce Wayne is well known and people would know his voice, it also works due to the more grounded version of the character he’s playing. Also, they tweaked with his voice in the sequels as Christopher Nolan wanted Batman to sound darker, yet Bale wasn’t able to achieve what he wanted without completely losing his voice. He got the playboy version of Bruce Wayne down where he seems a bit full of himself, to where people see him as too self absorbed to be selfless enough to be Batman as well as being a very good philanthropist while being a billionaire, which also comes into his portrayal as the real Bruce that people like Alfred Fox, Rachel and eventually Blake and Selina see, where he’s able to actually be himself and not have a persona around those he’s close with. Bruce Wayne is a very selfless character in many regards and the fact so few people will ever get to see the real Bruce Wayne kinda makes it special to all those who are close to him. The fact that this one role across three films gave Bale so much to work with and he truly became Bruce Wayne/Batman in that he took it seriously and never made fun of the character, sort of like what Adam West did in the 60s where he was completely sincere in his portrayal of the character, I truly love his performance as Bruce Wayne/Batman. His portrayal of the character is what I wanted to see back in the 90s and early 2000s and I’m glad Bale auditioned and got the part. Of course the writing and direction had a good hand in what Bale did in The Dark Knight Trilogy, but he absolutely knew how to play the character from not just the script and talking to Nolan, but by also reading some comics beforehand in order to understand the character. Not only did he give a hell of a performance in all three films, but he was able to get more opportunities that may not have happened if it wasn’t for Batman. He’s a very well deserved Academy Award Winner, but should have more nominations and wins, and continues to show his versatility in whatever project he takes on. Sorry for the long comment, but this is very well done and Bale is one of my favorite actors. Also, Bales accent is English, not Welsh. He was only born in Wales, but raised predominately in England when he was young. He’s since become an American citizen, but prior to that he was English. Keep up the great work!

Nice review. Let’s see Paul Allen’s review.

A drum teacher I had while going to Musician's Institute gave private lessons to Christian for The Big Short's drum scene.

The Machinist is perfect.

Definitely the best video about Bale's career I've seen! Unlike most videos, this one goes into real detail, good job!

A true artist

I love Christian Bale very, very much. He is truly God's gift to women. To me, no other male actor can defeat his ultra amazing talent, acting skills and good looks. I find him especially spectacular in Equilibrium and Public Enemies. What a dashingly handsome, talented man. Wishing him the very best of life.

Great vid man!! He was soo good in psychoo

The Big Short was an amazing film! But I've enjoyed all of the other Bale films I've seen. What dedication. Thanks!

One of the best actors ever

This man's work ethic and dedication is second to none.

One of my favourite actors !!!!

good video mate i like your humble style

Christian Bale’s performance as Ken Mile in Ford V Ferrari was downright insurmountable, Amazing acting + Amazing story = the single greatest movie I have ever seen

Man, I was obsessed with this actor back in the day. I'm happy he's taking it slow now because of prioritizing his health. But I'm sure there will come a movie where he leaves us all speechless again. ❤

Never was a fan of actors only their roles but this Man ... well I'm just speechless.

Man i never even knew he was british it was such a surprise to hear him speak normally outside movies!!

1:00 to 3:35 had me open and open my eyes more and more and change my expression until eventually my face was just pure shock American Psycho Bale was too epic for all of those things to have happened yet apparently they did ... truly underrated im no sigma or hardcore Bale fan or anything but i still loved the movie it has a certain uniqueness to it that you don't usually see in the badassery verse Hollywood created and perpetuated for so long regarding its stars

One of my favorite actors. I really like most of his movies, they're all great, except Thor movie lol

The Prestigue is my favorite Bale acting performances. He was magical on that one

His "Equilibrium" movies performance is so underrated as well.He outperformed everyone in that movie ,he was the movie.

I just found your channel and i love it so far :)

Bloody good actor, nice bloke too, met him in Ao Nang krabi Thailand, he shook my hand, said hi and gave me his autograph. He was filming "Rescue Dawn" at the time he was there.

bro couldn’t help but include jarred leto in the video

Well made!

first saw him in Equilibrium! loved it and it defined what i feel about Bale. Now that just went up 10-fold! respect😎

Christian Bale is an amazing actor. His dedication to his craft is the quintessence of acting.

Christian Bale is my favorite Batman!

My God, I liked him already so much and to learn about all these stuff. That's such an awesome actor

Reign of Fire is an awesome movie (especially seeing it as a kid) and that's a hill I am willing to die on.

i feel like this guy would be a legendary spy in another life

No one talks about harsh times. Underrated gem of a movie.

GOATED!! ❤️

great video.

A LEGENDARY ARTIST ❤

Please do a documentary about Leonardo DiCaprio

This guy's work ethic is unreal!

I just watched him in ford v Ferrari.. stupendous

He was absolutely the best cast in my favourite film The Dark Knight Trilogy, had it been any other actor it had have not been as meaningful for me. He’s a good actor. Heath Ledger is another truly amazing actor it’s a shame he is gone for me he’ll be remembered for his masterpiece in the Dark Knight.

I always mix up Empire of the Sun with The Power of One. Both good movies, but The Power of One is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Bale deserves the whole world hes such a great actor and the best honestly

Amazing actor indeed. He was particularly amazing in Ford V Ferrari and he's doubtlessly the best Batman ever!

My fave role of his is The Prestige

He's my favorite actor by far, and certainly the greatest actor of his generation. The absurd range he has, and the commitment are astounding. The genial huckster of American Hustle and the jumpy older brother of The Fighter is so far away from the soldier of Rescue Dawn and the mentally ill protagonist of The Mechanic as to be almost comical.

He is truly amazing!

I don't subscribe much to actors, but every movie Christian Bale stars in is a fucking banger.

FilmStack making a video on the most dedicated actor as the most dedicated film UKpostsr:

My most loved movie he ever was casted on was The Dark Knight, watched this when it was new.

This gave me a newfound appreciation and respect for Bale.

He's the best actor working

this man isnt just and actor, hes a shapeshifter

Such an amazing Movie Actor🤝

Bale has incredible acting abilities. When i watch a movie with him in it i really feel like he is the character in real life.

Whatever his “process” is it works.... incredible actor 👍🧐💪

Beautiful chameleon ❤

Wow. Just, wow. I have never seen any of Christian Bale's movies, but after watching this, I think I should. This guy has way more bravery and talent than I ever could.

Never seen a Guy do what he can..this Guy is a Actor on another level.

how did I not know that he plays as Batman

Bale was born in wales yes but he is an Englishman his parents are English, he was raised in England his accent is English not welsh

Legend

he's one of the GOATs in acting!!!!!!! jst too good

Lets see paul Allen's carrier

Would have been cool if you talked about the fighter since he won the oscar

Bale's built different

He's AWESOME ❤❤❤

Swing Kids is one of my favorites

Citing rotten tomoatoes as a credible rating source instantly lost a lot of my interest from me

At 8:53 that's not Klaus Kinski. That is german comedian and imitator Max Giermann, who often imitates Kinski in his acts. The particular clip is from the ZDF Sketch History series, I don't remember the episode's number but it is about Kinski and Herzog. Anyway, great video^^

Notice how everyone hated him until he made them money? They knew he was special from the get-go. They just didn’t want him succeeding more than them.

Not that it matters, but Christian Bale doesn't speak with a Welsh accent. He was born in Wales, but wasn't raised there, and he doesn't consider himself Welsh.

ITS SIC..........ITS SUCH A CLASSIC ❤

Christian is my favourite actor, man or woman! He is just genuis and sublime at his craft!

My favorite actor of all time. God mode ☝️

Good actor but his fans think he is the best actor of all time

what an inspiring actor.

Bale, Heath, and Nolan. They were in that movie together. Together. Wow.

I love Bale, but there is one other man that is more dedicated than him. The very talented Daniel Day-Lewis.

Bale isn’t Welsh. He was born in Wales but he identifies as English. P.s. can you include metric measurements in future videos for your non-American audience, thanks.
