the fighter (2010). directed by david o. russell.

i know christian bale walked off with the best supporting actor oscar, but my surprise-good-acting-award goes to amy adams.

  1. this film haunted me long after i watched it. the gaunt-looking bale was simply too great to just get a supporting actor honor.
    too bad not many i know appreciate this movie.

  2. mizkookoo: plot wise and direction is pretty much tried and tested, but bale being bale brought a new level of intensity. have you seen the machinist (2004)? that kind of dedication and intensity deserves a lot of respect when most actors opted to play boyfriends in mindless romcoms.

  3. oh yes - i did! the machinist blew me away. a bit slow at times but his character was mesmerising - in a depressing way that is cool.
