he has a lisp

That becoming extremely proficient in mathematics can get you mad dollars.

>Also what was the underlying message of this movie?
GAS THE BANKERS, CLASS WAR NOW

Two actors with way more range than Christian Bale:
>Gary Oldman
>Tom Hardy

So, no, he's not the greatest actor of our time.

You should add Daniel Day Lewis to that list

Is there a single actress that is even in the conversation for top 5 best actors of the past 20 years?

Amy Adams

Every twenty years or so, every nation worth its salt should do that.

>Tom Hardy
>more range

get a job, you useless commie

There isn't one actress in history who'd be among the best actors of her respective generation.
Women almost never get challenging roles, and when they do, they suck in it.

I wouldn't say way more, but I agree. I have Fassbender, Hardy, Pitt, Gylenhaal, Bale, and Depp in my upper tier with Leo a little below them.

DDL and Oldman are above all. I'm only talking living actors here and I know I'm still missing some too.

>Tom Hardy

Ah, still playing the Tom Hardy is a good actor meme, m'lad?

One day you will come to the realisation that pensively staring out into the distance, and speaking with a slow mumble is not good acting.

Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, and maybe Charlize Theron.

>Lawless
>TDKR
>Layer Cake
>Locke
>The Revenant
>Star Trek: Nemesis
>Band of Brothers
>RocknRolla
>Bronson
>Inception
>Mad Max: Fury Road
>Taboo

All very different roles.

>One day you will come to the realisation that pensively staring out into the distance, and speaking with a slow mumble is not good acting.
Literally only did that in Locke because the role required.

they'll understand soon

Gary Oldman plays the same fucking character in every movie lmao

Bale has done everything from autistic banker to generic action hero to sociopathic serial killer

In almost all of those movies he plays a gruff outsider badass with a deep mumbling voice.

Hardy has nowhere near the range that Bale has.

Bale can go from autistic math genius, to suave psychopath banker, to gritty action hero and you wouldn't even know it was the same actor.

Russel Crowe has more range than Bale.

>not listing Warrior

Bale is great but he needs to more selective with his roles in order to really shine.
American Psycho. The Fighter. The Prestige.
American Hustle. Big Short.

All great examples of his talent

There are many male actors leagues beyond these.

>wallstreet is bad
>capitalism is bad

He played Pantera drums much better than even Vinnie Paul did. Amazing.

Both are fucking memes at this point.

Oldman is great, but I think Hardy overacts. Or he's had too much overexposure. Either way/

For you
