I suggest that today you disassemble the filmography of this actor and identify his best films.

Empire of the Sun (1987)

First of all, this film attracts attention by the fact that the main role in it is played by a small, twelve-year-old Christian Bale. The actor is famous for the fact that he was chosen by the director of the film himself - Steven Spielberg. The boy caught the latter his naturalness in the game and exceptional independence from other people's opinions. By the way it should be noted that the novice twelve-year-old actor managed to pass the audition among four thousand others wishing, which can not fail to impress.

American Psycho (2000)

This film was based on the novel by the American writer Ellis. The narrative in the film is about a young and rich banker named Patrick, who became a self-proclaimed maniac. The role of this brutal killer played by everyone's favourite and considered by us Christian Bale, who personally asked the film's director not to participate in the auditions, and immediately approve him for the role. Speaking of which, it is a curious fact that Bale just with the participation in this film began to responsibly approach all roles. So, for example, for a successful role in this film Christian had to adjust the diet and come into good shape. The actor also made himself a few front teeth for a perfect smile. An interesting fact is that Christian's friends and colleagues to the last hoped that he would reconsider his decision and refuse to participate. However, this did not happen.

Now let's talk a little about the plot. As mentioned above, this film was realised on the basis of an American novel. The plot of the film is a narration of the life of one inhabitant of the town - a rich young banker. His behaviour during the day is completely harmless to everyone around him. As a rule, in daylight hours it is an ordinary man with his own problems (or perfectly pretending to be an ordinary man). But as night falls, the character and behaviour of the protagonist changes dramatically. And now it is no longer that harmless banker, engaged in earning money and living like everyone else. In the dark time of the day this nice gentleman turns into a real monster, endangering the whole town. And so it happens every night. Will anyone be able to stop the protagonist?

The Machinist (2004)

The plot of the film is as follows: the main character named Trevor hasn't slept in about a year. He has also stopped eating properly, let alone the word "properly". Trevor has lost quite a bit of weight, turning into a living skeleton. He has become thin to the point where it seems like his body could fall apart in an instant. Due to lack of sleep, Trevor has actually started to confuse the real with the unreal. The man no longer sees any difference in the world around him and, one could say, balances between dream and reality. Trevor is wildly tired of watching frightening and eerie visions, especially when they began to echo in an unexpected and scary way. Will the man be able to get out of this state or will he forever remain a prisoner of his own stupidity?

The film "The Machinist" is rightly considered an outstanding psychological thriller of the early two-thousand years. By the way, the main actor, who played the role of suffering from insomnia and terrible sleep deprivation, had to lose weight by thirty kilograms. According to the film star himself, gave it to him it was not too difficult. "For four and a half months, I ate less and less, thereby gradually reducing his stomach. Drank a very large amount of fluids, in particular water, so as not to feel hungry. It wasn't easy at first. But as I lost weight, it became easier and easier to lose weight.

And by the way, during the hunger strike, I did not visit the doctor "- shares his memories Christian Bale. However, after a sharp weight loss, which is not surprising at all, Christian began to have health problems. He had to recover for a long time and gain weight back to normal. Whether the participation in the film was worth the effort and potential health risks - decide for yourself. However, after the film adaptation, Christian Bale began to receive many offers of work and cooperation. And, of course, the actor received a lot of positive feedback not only from film critics, but also from the public.
