Src Likely spoilers. Yeah so I have always been a pretty big fan of Christian Bale as an actor, which probably is not surprising. The guy is mega famous and has been in a ton of movies. My best memory as a kid was coming home from summer camp and my mom immediately taking me to see 'The Dark Knight'. I just had a great two weeks of summer camp and then I immediately saw that virtually flawless film I mean just think…More

Image Brad Anderson has created a truly modern masterpiece of haunting with The Machinist. Christian Bale gives possibly his most committed performance to date as Trevor Reznik, a man who disappears before our eyes in body and mind. Shot on an incredibly tight budget with a stripped-down aesthetic by cinematographer Dan Lausten, it is a harrowing and intimate character study. Kronos Quartet's haunting score k…More
In the early 21st Century, Hollywood seemed to have lost its ability to offer anything truly fresh or captivating to audiences. There are scant mainstream films that could be deemed original or exceptional, with *The Machinist*, a 2004 thriller directed by Brad Anderson, standing out as one of the rare exceptions. The film centres on Trevor Reznik (portrayed by Christian Bale), a machine shop worker plagued by insom…More

Image Good psychological drama thriller with great direction and story. What makes this movie even better is Christian Bale. Top notch acting and horrible physical transformations. According to the review he lost 60 pounds, which brought him down to around 120 pounds, which is inhuman for someone who is 6 feet 3 inches tall. Bale wanted to get down to 45, but the producers wouldn't let him because it was too…More
Not sleeping for a long time has positive and negative effects. If I look at the good side, I can say living life to the fullest. When 1/3 of the day is spent asleep, it can be considered as 8 wasted hours. When we don't sleep, it means an extra 8 hours. In a 24 hour day, who wouldn't want the extra 8 hours they can use? If we spread the calculation over the long term; In a 60-year life, 20 years of time spent with…More
Once again it is very pleasant for me to participate in another of the interesting and enjoyable contests of the film community of our platform; I think that now the crush has been practically instantaneous, because when I read this new topic about a movie, with which we identify ourselves in the workplace, it comes to my mind one of which I made a publication a year ago. I'll explain why and I hope you like it too,…More
Today's protagonist is suffering from Insomnia, his condition is so bad that he hasn't slept for one year, can you imagine? His physical condition was detouring, losing weight day by day, it was just his skeleton. I googled about how long a human can stay awake and it refers to the longest experiment so far as 11 days. I do have sleeping issues but not like these, sometimes I call myself an insomniac but after a few…More
