This is just proof he takes his art seriously as if The Machinist wasn't enough proof.

Not it doesn't. it proves he is a massive drama queen. You would NEVER get away with talking to colleagues like that in any other walk of life.

Christian Bale in The Prestige is one of the best performances by an actor in the last 10 years.

American Psycho wasn't HALF BAD either.

Agreed, he's very good. I think he's superb as Batman too.

Unfortunately from know on he'll also be known as a rather bullying insecure-sounding prima donna in real life.

I hate people saying stuff like this, acting is not just any profession the same as football or media. They are totally different environments to most jobs (I know as I work in broadcasting and my wife is an actress).

I am not condoning Bale's rant (not that he gives a shit what any of us think) but we know very little of what happened and near the end he even says that this Hulburt fella is a nice guy. He is highly charged due to the nature of his job and it seems a very emotional scene being ruined

Hahaha, try pushing over a nice chimney that a bricklayer has almost completed, or walk in wet cement next to the council worker who just floated it.

How about unplugging the office computer when a lawyer has just been putting the finishing touches to a trial dissertation.
What's your profession? Go ahead and try it in your workplace.

I'll tell you right now, you'll find a LOT of people become "drama-queens" when their hard work is destroyed by a careless moron.

I turned it off when this hurrendous NOISE came out of my speakers.

I'm not saying it isn't him just sounds like it isn't real somehow, sounds scripted and there is no background noise, very odd for a film set that is erupting into a row.. After the fuss being made I'm not sure now. However, whatever NHM says, if you act like that on set you will gradually find no-one wishing to work with you no-matter how talented you are, and while Bale has been great in some films he has put in some pretty wooden performances (Both Batman films for starters).

Director of Photography is a key role in the crew.. working closely with the director usually for the right "look"... they deal with all the lighting, the rigging (working with the "gaffer" or lighting designer and his team). Basically, Bale was saying "acting is my job, lighting is yours. You walked right across my eyeline in a very tough scene for me - how would you like it if I blocked all your lights out?"..

The role is particularly important if they are going for a particular style, for example film noir, getting the lighting and balance right is very tough..

Whoops! BBC Breakfast just started broadcasting the first three seconds of this - until it became clear someone in the editing suite had forgotten to bleep out the f-words... :lol:

Doesn't sound fake to me. I know a bit about anger and this is a guy who has tripped. An angry person can go on and on like this reigniting their anger over and over again without the need of others intervention. He knows he's lost it - he even tells the bloke he's a nice guy, but then the chap says something (could have been anything) - and off he goes again. This is totally genuine in my view - and sadly, I've been in his position in the past and am embarrassed to say that I recognise some of the behaviour patterns.

That, and everybody including all the production team are on the record as saying it is real.

I heard that too - very funny.

He's also clearly a Spinal Tap fan, with that pouty little "I'm not askin' ya, I'm tellin' ya!". I'm not sure that Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records is quite the role model he aspires to be...
