Movies
The debut film role for the 13-year-old actor was the role of Yum-yum in the film "Mio, my Mio". This Soviet-Scandinavian project was released in 1987.
The world-famous Bale made a second picture - Steven Spielberg's drama "Empire of the Sun." The film tells the story of the events that took place in China during the Second World War. Christian played an English teenager living with his parents in Shanghai. After this role, the young artist was presented with a large number of awards, one of them - the National Board of Film Critics of the United States.
The collapsed glory proved to be an unbearable burden for the teenager. Constant interviews, press conferences and presentations so oppressed Bale that he decided to stop working in the cinema for a while. Christian returned to the screens with the film "Henry V", based on the work of William Shakespeare. This was followed by the films "Treasure Island" and "The Qualitative Murder."
A new stage in Christian Bale's film career began in 1992, when the young man was 18 years old. The artist began to be trusted with "adult" roles. Later he played in the musical film "Newspaper Sellers" where the ability to sing and dance came in handy. The tape was waiting for failure, but the audience noted and remembered the charming actor. The next music tape, the drama Swingers, received high marks from critics and audiences.
Soon the big screens came the picture "Little Women." The film was immediately recognized as a bestseller and was nominated for an Academy Award three times. During this period, Bale made a lot of movies. Several projects with the participation of the actor are implemented every year. The most striking of them are "Portrait of a Lady", where Christian formed the company of Nicole Kidman, as well as the comedy film "Metroland".
Critics also note "American Psycho," where the actor had to try on the image of the brutal killer and maniac Patrick Bateman. In this thriller, Bale managed to convincingly play a man with a split personality. In addition, according to the director's plan, the actor had to significantly build muscle. The role required a lot of physical and psychological stress and a lot of work on itself. Bale's efforts paid off: he was among the most popular Hollywood stars.
In 2002, the action film "Equilibrium" appeared on the screens. The film was appreciated by critics and audiences, and the scene where christian Bale's hero shot the cleric Errol Partridge (played by Sean Bean) is recognized as one of the best in the movie.
In 2004, the artist got a difficult role Trevor in the film "Machinist" directed by Brad Anderson. For this work, the actor lost 60 pounds of weight (27 kg), turning into a "living corpse" as the plot required. The filmmakers themselves were surprised by the transformation of the body that Bale achieved at such height (Christian's height is 183 cm). In the photo, the actor is in a normal state and after losing weight - almost two different people.
But for the image of the hero from Gotham City in the film "Batman: The Beginning", released in 2005, Christian had to gain maximum weight. The bat-bat played by Bale was extremely convincing and charming. The actor was also involved in the rest of the trilogy - "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight: Revival of the Legend." Both films are in the ratings of the most profitable and the best in history, and the role is considered one of the brightest in Christian's career.
Of Christian Bale's films from the mid-2000s, critics note the drama Prestige, which featured a young magician, and the war film "Saving Dawn" about the Vietnam War. The last, for which the actor again lost 24 kg, will be called the most significant in his filmography.
In 2009, Bale appeared in the crime drama about the Colombian drug lord "Kill Pablo", based on the real story, and in the image of John Connor in the film "Terminator: May the Savior come".
At first, Christian was skeptical about the proposal to star in a film about the war of humans and robots, as he believed that the image of John Connor in McGee's vision was secondary. But then the actor got excited about the idea of making the 4th part as exciting as the second, which he really likes. At Bale's urging, Sam Worthington's character was brought to the fore and both characters were depicted on promotional posters.
The following year, He won Bale a Golden Globe award and a long-awaited Oscar for his work in "The Fighter." Christian appeared as a former boxer, coaching his younger brother. The prototype of the hero - the legend of professional boxing Mickey Ward, whose details of the biography are woven into the canvas of the plot. To convey on the screen the essence of the downed man, a drug addict, Bale again extremely lost to 65 kg. The film's partner and producer, Mark Wahlberg, admitted that his colleague's zeal was a concern for him.
The same awards were given to Christian in 2014 for his performance in the tragicomic film "America's Scam". The crime drama "Johnny D", which tells about a bank robber from the 30s, according to Bale, was shot by one of the best directors - Michael Mann. The actor played FBI agent Melvin Purvis, who led the group to catch dangerous criminals, a personality very popular with the people, which caused discontent and even envy of the head of the special services John Hoover.
In 2016, the American actor participated in the films "Weightlessness" and "The Promise." The audience was particularly interested in the latest film, which tells the story of the barbaric murder of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. Christian Bale got the role of a journalist who investigates the history of confrontation between Armenian guerrillas and Turkish troops, as well as trying to tell the world the truth at the cost of his life.
The tragic page in the history of the people is shown through a touching story about the love of a medical student and an artist. Both fall into a whirlpool of terrible events, but, losing loved ones, find each other. Prominent representatives of the world show business expressed admiration for the painting. Many Hollywood movie stars took part in the action aimed at supporting the film project.
Bale himself told the media that he knew nothing about the genocide, calling the events barbaric and horrific. According to the celebrity, what happened is a huge tragedy, which is not talked about much, because people do not have a certain level of awareness.
In 2017, the press reported that Christian Bale will play former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney. In addition to Bale, the creators of "The Power" negotiated with Amy Adams and Steve Carell, and the project was developed by Paramount Studios. The film was directed by Adam McKay, with Bale and Carell involved in the film "Game of Thrones".
Christian again, but, by his own admission, the last time, sacrificed a sports figure, having recovered 20 kg, shaved his bald head and with amazing accuracy studied the body language of the character. "Power" nominated for the Oscar in 8 nominations.
