same thing w/his ma & sister. the whole story was never released, just he blew up. there might be a reason behind it, how can anyone judge w/o knowing the full story???

was is valid for him to do this??? probably not

i honestly think this should have nothing to do with it, even though i understand your point. christian bale is a human being, equal to everyone else on the set and he should treat all others with respect. the guy wasn't yelling back at him, there was no need for bale to just consistently bash him. boy, what a morale booster

but how many of us have had a bad day and wanted to do the same exact thing??? honestly???

there's a difference in wanting and doing. in bale's case, the doing was what was highly childish and inappropriate imo

I completly agree. No matter how big a star you are you don't treat someone else like that. From listening to it it sounds like Bale was doing a scene and the guy was trying to work with one of the lights and Bale could see him. It sounded like something very petty was done and Bale just blew it.

To be perfectly honest, I can understand his frustration, but, it was taken a bit too far. The one thing that I couldn't believe was the way he was treating the director.

He must think that he's to big of a star to treat people like human beings any more. He went over the deep end this time. He just doesn't seem like a nice person.

i've been on the wrong end of some of these in the past. not to this extent obviously, but yeah, there's nothing quite like negative reinforcement.

again, i don't agree w/what he did, but i can understand why he might have. some days u just got to get stuff off of your chest, this guy just happend to be in the wrong place @ the wrong time.
