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?

A lot of child actors (and actresses) have drug and alcohol problems and come out as gay, so I wonder if they are abused!

Bingo. I just saw the movie and from a conservative standpoint it barely depicted anything objectionable. It only looks like an evil portrayal to confirmed liberals who think that every conservative policy was equivalent to the 3rd Reich. I liked the movie and except for a few obvious liberal inaccuracies it portrayed Cheney as brilliant and sincere. They just don’t know that because they think everything a conservative ever did is evil.

I wonder who else he thinks is satan, Mitch McConnell? Oh that's right, he said that.

Baleful Anti-Christian.

To be accurate, I think he was thanking Dick Cheney, while calling him Satan. He has often been called that by the left.

That in no way lessens the despicable nature of Bale’s conduct, or the nature of this hate-filled propaganda piece.

I am not, and have never been, a great fan of Dick Cheney, but this is symptomatic of the culture war against anyone conservative or Republican - anyone.

They will not stop with someone like Cheney. They are coming for all of us, and they will show us no mercy.
