The press has such a lack of news seriously, so those of you who've heard about Christian Bales outburst this post is basically my thoughts on it.
There are two sides of me both at war really, one side is my love and respect for him as a man and an actor and the other side is my upset that he now has ruined his own professionalism and that in many cases he is in the wrong.
At first I thought it was funny and I was a little thrilled to see the usually emotionless bale freak out and go mad! But then it all got blown out of proportion, sure the bale should have handled it in a better way he is in the public eye, but people forget that he is only human and he was obviously upset not just about the fact this man ruined an emotional scene TWICE now come on he is an actor and people who are not actors obviously don't know how hard it is to get into the mood (or mojo) and I believe the bale wouldn't have freaked out unless other things had affected him, perhaps he and this guy already had a disagreement perhaps and argument with his "wife" caused him to be upset. He is ONLY A HUMAN hes not some unfeeling god who is perfect all the time (hes not keanu reeves guys) and to be honest hes not the first actor to have freaked out hes just been unlucky that people actually caught him freaking out. The whole thing has been taken out of context I found it convinent the guy on the recieving ends comments couldn't be heard well or had been cut while the Bales audio was clear. I feel even more upset that people now think hes being unprofessional and won't go and see his films, COME ON seriously your going to deprive yourself of a great actor and potential great films just because he got angry, sure the language was foul even by my fuckin standards but we all have our bad days and he had his.
My other side however is quite angry and thinking of quitting being a fan all together, he should not have gotten so angry he is in the public eye and it was bound to come out because of the violent nature of the outburst, I recently had a bad experience with a man who took his anger out on me and it left me petrified for a couple of days I subsquently moved classes to escape him. And seeing the bale act this way makes me draw comparions between the two men, both completely lost it and both behaved unprofessionally in a profession that requires it. I expect Christian will make a public apology and lets just hope that its heartfelt and he does it live for that is the only way hes going to get the public support.
