Can't Take My Eyes Off You...Tube

看完The Dark Knight,中了Christian Bale毒,於是連日來不斷上網看他的東西。

在起底必到之地IMDB發現:「He has an uncanny ear for accents - he has used a different accent for each of his films to date.」If he plays an American character, he will use an American accent in all the interviews related to the film. He says he does this so the audience isn't confused.」這也真的太厲害了吧...

後來在wikipedia發現:「Christian Bale was born to South African-born entrepreneur, commercial pilot, and talent manager David Bale and circus clown and performer Jenny James, both of English heritage He is the youngest of four children. After leaving Wales, Bale spent his childhood in several countries, including England, Portugal, and the United States.」年紀輕輕便周遊列國,難怪對掌握口音如此得心應手。

不過,原來他不只掌握口音厲害,控制體重的能力也叫人吃驚。
這是2000年電影American Psycho中的他:

這是2004年電影The Machinist中的他:

這是2005年電影Batman Begins中的他:

很驚人吧~ =.="

據wikipedia說,拍The Machinist前,「He went without proper rest for prolonged periods, and placed himself on a crash diet of generally coffee and apples, which reduced his weight by 60 pounds (27 kilograms) in a matter of months. By the end of filming Bale weighed only 121 pounds (55 kg), a transformation he described as “very calming mentally” 」,接拍Batman Begins後,「Still fresh from The Machinist, it became necessary for Bale to bulk up to match the powerful physique of Batman. He was given a deadline of six months to do this. Bale recalled it as far from a simple accomplishment: “…when it actually came to building muscle, I was useless. I couldn’t do one push up the first day. All of the muscles were gone, so I had a real tough time rebuilding all of that.” With the help of a personal trainer, Bale succeeded in meeting the deadline, gaining a total of 100lbs (46kg) in six months. He went from about 130lbs to 230lbs. However, by the time shooting began Bale's weight had dropped to 190lbs. (Bale is 6'1" tall).」
纖體或健身公司真的應該找他當代言人...

基本起底工作完畢後,當然就是到youtube煲片,訪問、電影預告片、電影片段全部通殺,一看就看了好幾天,不計電影預告片的話,印象較深是這兩段片:


如此變態的俊臉,不可能印象不深吧...


Christian Bale版的James Bond,絕對把Daniel Craig比下去~

不過,反覆看得最多次的,是Heath Ledger的這段片:


反覆看了又看,結果原來要做的工作,拖了大半天還未開始,還瘋狂得在msn把片段send了結友人,再高呼「He was so sweet!!!」

在現實世界中的這個他也很sweet:

當年我在電視看到這段訪問時也覺得sweet死了~

還有這對可愛拍擋:





找到這片段前,才剛看完他過身前不久接受的訪問,分別真的很大,跟Christian Bale的減磅增磅一樣令人震驚,但卻還多了一份感慨。

邪氣蝙蝠俠

拖了又拖,上星期終於去看了The Dark Knight.
因為實在太遲才看,Heath Ledger演Joker的如潮好評都早已聽聞過了,所以入場看時已沒甚麼驚喜。
於是,很膚淺地,我的最大驚喜是...



Christian Bale 的西裝look!!!
看片尾時發現,他在片中的西裝,是由Giorgio Armani提供的。
Christian Bale版Bruce Wayne那麼帥氣,Armani西裝絕對應記一功。

看!不穿西裝真的差太遠了~~~
細看的話,會發現Christian Bale是有點A字膊的,所以穿T-shirt不太好看,還是西裝筆挺的打扮比較適合他。


他在Armani的廣告中真的帥呆了!!!

不過,相比他的帥氣,Christian Bale版Bruce Wayne更得我歡心的,是那份邪氣。網上有人說,Christian Bale未必是最好的Batman,但肯定是最好的Bruce Wayne,我十分認同。以前看Batman電影,我都是偏好奸角的(其實看其他電影時也常常如此),一副正氣凜然superhero模樣的主角,很難令悲觀又小心眼的我有甚麼好感。Christian Bale版Bruce Wayne正氣中帶點邪氣,倒是我杯荼。
因為沒有看過Batman Begins,所以剛開始看The Dark Knight時,對Christian Bale版Bruce Wayne沒甚麼特別感覺。直至他跟俄羅斯女伴在餐廳遇到Rachel和Harvey那幕中,他提議合併桌子但Harvey說「I'm not sure they'll let us.」時,他說「Oh, they should. I own the place.」時那意氣風發的樣子,我才開始驚嘆:「這就是Bruce Wayne!」後來他在籌款晚會那「擺明玩嘢」式的浮誇出場姿態,以及那番既挖苦又褒獎Harvey的說話,都令我覺得,神秘莫測的Dark Knight,真面目該當如此。(說起來,The Dark Knight的香港譯名「黑夜之神」實在很有問題,明明直譯做「黑暗騎士」便最恰當,卻硬要把人家神化。)
