It happened almost a year ago, but I think it still deserves some comments and even a few further explanations. I am talking about the voice recording of Christian Bale in the set of the new Terminator movie where he tells a tecnician off for crossing the scene while the shooting is taking place. For those who never heard it, enjoy:

The recording itself is unbelievable. A guy so bigheaded to dare treat others like that. But the problem is not just his. Everybody has the right to be an asshole. But the limits of that assholeness come from outside. Try Christian’s behavior in your office or even in the street with the first guy you encounter. You will probably get kicked in the ass. Nobody would dare touch this mister, anyway, even if his childish behavior deserves a spanking. What I mean to say is that it is also our fault as consumers, because we allow this behavior, justifying or even defending it.

Some consider this man a great actor. I say you don’t need to be very good to use the same face for being angry than for having an organsm. There are thousands of good modest actors out there willing to work. Because a movie is not just about a jerk in front of a camera, you need secondary characters, extras, light operators, directors, atrezzo, dressing, planification, money, editors and a long etcetera that makes this guy look less important than we, spectators, make him. This man is there because he sells movies, well then, I suggest never to watch a film where Bale plays at the cinema. And if you really need to see his roast chicken performance, then try online or buying a pirate DVD. Changing the world starts with changing oneself. Join the cause: “Drag an asshole out from cinema”. Don’t be afraid, better actors will come if you give them the chance.

To end this post with a smile, a cut from Family Guy where they bring up the subject. Enjoy.
