Christian Bale takes Hollywood to a new low, thanking 'Satan' in his Golden Globe award speech
American Thinker ^ | 01/07/2018 | Monica Showalter

Actor Christian Bale, in his Golden Globe award acceptance speech, decided to thank "Satan" in his acknowledgments, apparently for inspiring his portrayal of former vice president Dick Cheney in the movie Vice, as the Hollywood chi-chi crowd cheered.

According to a report in Variety:

Christian Bale had one unconventional figure to thank in his acceptance speech after winning best actor in a comedy or musical for "Vice" at Sunday night's Golden Globes.

"Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration for playing this role," he said about his character of Dick Cheney in the political satire.

Given that Satan amounts to absolute evil, it's evidence he re-created a cartoon character, not a living, breathing human he might have disagreed with on the political front.  After all, wouldn't a normal actor study Cheney to portray Cheney, assuming he wanted to do it credibly?  Bale says he preferred the devil.  He wasn't interested in being credible.  Think I will pass on this movie, given that I now know how the sausage was made.  Bale has given us too much information.

It just goes to show the contempt he feels for his audience in his crude, non-understanding, and openly admitted inspiration.

It also shows that he wanted his speech to be political – to take a shot at Cheney and spread the cultural message that Cheney, one of the principled and most popular members of the Bush administration, is a distorted monster.

If Satan was whom he imitated for Cheney, it signals he's shot his creative wad.  Whom would he turn to for inspiration in portraying Donald Trump?

Hollywood has a history of debauchery.
Faggottry,rape..and of course murder.
Its just that they were not so public about it.

I’m calling it right now: Rami Malek will win the Oscar for best actor over Bale.

Also,
Interesting that Cheney is evil.
While Satan is worthy of prayer?
Is that his point?

Just think about this.....instead of being grateful and humble for winning an award for his acting ability given to him by God, he decides to humiliate a former VP, and thank Satan. Yet, he had no problem ACCEPTING THE ROLE and thus the honor and money granted to him from SATAN. I understand his audience gave him a huge applause.......THIS IS TWISTED.

Christian Bale is foolish and stupid to publicly praise the Evil One.

We should start calling him Satan Bale. Or Beelzebub Bale.

If Bale’s goal is the Oscar, this was a brilliant move. Voting on nominees is due this week. The liberals will flock to Bale for sticking a finger in the eye of Christians. He may have even locked up the award with this stunt.

My hubby can’t understand why I don’t want to watch all the superhero movies. He likes them and I keep saying, “Don’t feed the monster. Not with your money or by giving them ratings.” He thinks I’m being too rigid.

I think what Bale is trying to drive at is this — SATAN was his inspiration for playing Vice President Cheney.

Wait a few months for the DVD to come out and chances are, it will be available in your local library.

I think his point was Cheney is so evil that in order to play him convincingly, you have to use SATAN as a model.

I'm sure you are right. That's what passes for humor among the leftists these days.

When I heard it I merely thought he was saying Cheney is satanic and evil and thanking him for a role that won the Globe. Guess I was wrong. He meant the Evil One.

Don’t forget pedophilia. Can’t wait until the lid is blown on all the pedophiles in Hollyweird, a la #MeToo.

Utter degenerates lecturing all the “little people.”

IMO he’s one of our best actors. But like DiNero and others he is full of self importance and thinks he can insult our country even though he is a Brit.

Isn’t it great how Hollyweird insists on dumping on half their ticket buyers.

Bale was always creepy. Being a child actor, could be he has early issues.
