"The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend."

Christian Bale has some novel interpretations of Moses, whom he portrays in the upcoming "Exodus: God and Kings."
"I think the man was likely schizophrenic and was one of the most barbaric individuals that I ever read about in my life," Bale said.
Hard on the heels of Noah, which took great liberties with the biblical tale, Exodus is drawing criticism from Christian websites.

"The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend."
Exodus 33:11
Sadly “Noah” made big bucks.
From Wiki....
“Noah grossed $101,200,044 in North America and $258,000,000 in other countries, making a worldwide gross of $359,200,044.”
Kind of ironic, coming from someone who is best known for his lead role in “American Psycho”.
By the way, Hollywood, please do tell when the epic about Mohammed comes out. I want to know who plays the nine year old.
It is also a beautiful prefiguration of Christ. Isaacs life was demanded by God, but God Himself provided the substitutionary sacrifice allowing Isaac to live. What a great picture of what He does for all of us.
Either a person trusts God or he doesn’t. If a person trusts God, he will recognize when he reads the account of Moses in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy that Moses was a person who trusted and obeyed God. He was one of the greatest men who ever lived. He did not thrust himself into the position of leadership. God called him. Moses actually resisted the call at first, and asked God to send someone else.
If a person doesn’t trust God, he will doubt that the Bible is true and be suspicious of the motives and actions of all believers, past and present. Bale’s comments reveal him to be of this group, and therefore he should not be making a movie about Moses. The rest of us should certainly not be watching a movie about Moses starring Christian Bale.
That's part of his job as an actor, after all.
What ones I know on that list I don’t care about anyway.
Most barbaric he ever read about in his regular life or his WHOLE life? And like his whole life and EVERYTHING, or, you know, just his REGULAR whole life and stuff?.
Is Christian Bale seven years old? Or is he, like, THIS MANY years old?
Barbaric? Why—because he led his people out of bondage in Egypt? Or maybe he is referring to the 10 plagues. However, those plagues came from G-d, not Moses. Moses was just the messenger.
Hope so.
Moses was a great hero-period.
Bales is just another dimwitted Hollyweird Prostitue.
Apparently, he thinks only perfect beings, like him, should have been depicted therein.
And who is notorious in his industry for behavior that anywhere else would get someone fired and or committed to a loony bin. In terms of his craft, however, he is a very good actor. Being bats#$% (pun intended) crazy is no bar and in fact can enhance an actor’s capabilities. Just don’t expect them to be rational or look to them for good advice or opinions on anything.
I think 101M in this age is a good showing in theater.I have not seen the flim and I won’t see Bale’s movie either.

It’s interesting that the star of “Noah”, Russell Crowe, also makes some of those similar lists. I lost all interest in seeing him onscreen when I read about his trying to beat a hotel employee with a telephone (not just the handset, the whole thing), and carping about a role he didn’t get, that the actor who was cast sucked in it, and that he himself was the greatest actor on Earth.
And I bet Bale thinks that Allah, Mohammed, and his 1400 years worth of murderous followers are just a bunch of peaceful, righteous dudes!
If Bale had said something about banks or noses Abe Foxman would have been all over him.
bale is projecting.
