Why Christian Bale Is A Top 5 Actor

BY: GURU JAY

In Hollywood, it only takes 1 movie to create 10,000 jobs. What is more, 1 actor can affect the whole entertainment world. Am I being a bit dramatic?
Although I am channeling soap operas, this is relevant. Christian Bale is a topnotch celebrity. He is one in a million.
I believe Bale is the best method actor of Generation X. Who else literally transforms? Like a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Christian morphs into characters.
American Hustle and The Machinist
For art’s sake, Christian Bale dramatically changed his body by gaining excessive fat for American Hustle, and losing extreme weight for The Machinist. Movie buffs must admire the celeb’s dedication to his craft. This shows he challenges his limitations more than any director or producer possibly can. Like Scarface’s song, he “pushes it to the limit.”
And that’s why the world is his.


Should Bale have won Best Actor Oscar for American Hustle? I’m on the fence, because the entire cast was perfect. And, I don’t believe an Academy Award totally defines a performer. Plus, we haven’t seen his best yet.
We’ve seen his worst- Terminator Salvation. I remember waking up in the theater shortly before the credits started rolling. Still, this showing doesn’t discount his overall career achievements.  
Top 5 Actor
I saw The Dark Knight in Imax right before my first day of class. It was a great time seeing Christian Bale and Heath Ledger go toe-to-toe as Batman versus the Joker. Isn’t it amazing how comic books come alive?
You can tell that Bale bled, sweated, and cried for this movie. The fine art of filmmaking is intricate. That’s why you need dozens of people involved in the editing process.

Would the glorious actor make a great director? Christian has it in him due to his meticulous nature. I consider him a top 5 actor, because he will go the extra distance. Without question, there are only a handful of movie stars playing in his league.
