He was absolutely brilliant as a kid in EMPIRE OF THE SUN, I'm still shocked he didn't get an Oscar for that one. But then again he deserved an OSCAR for so many other roles too.DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-49803022399474245072011-11-14T12:00:30.890+01:002011-11-14T12:00:30.890+01:00New to your blog (got here via my Oirish mate Angr...New to your blog (got here via my Oirish mate Angry!) and I'm likin' it alot! Zhang Yimou is one of the finest action directors working today - few do action better IMO - and 'Flowers of War' looks the goods. <br /><br />While some have criticised Bale as too wooden but I think he brings an awe-inspiring intensity to his work. And he's going back to the familiar with this as it all started with 'Empire of the Sun' - itself an extraordinary performance from a child - and how has he now matured as an actor? Bale has quite a range. <br /><br />Zhang does us all a service in highlighting a little known aspect (the war in China) of an otherwise well covered (in film) period of history - WWII. Really looking forward to seeing this one. Thanks for finding and posting the trailer - brilliant!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-74774070695592170822011-10-23T18:16:02.698+02:002011-10-23T18:16:02.698+02:00@Melsy

That's why they wanted Keanu or even Tom Cruise. <br />I like Bale, but I totally understand what you are saying, since those are the reasons I can't stand Sean Penn, Al Pacino, Ryan Gosling and similar actors<br /><br />@Vics<br />for research? :PPPDEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-64533167099969312002011-10-21T14:28:20.312+02:002011-10-21T14:28:20.312+02:00@Pesos
