It's all over the Internet.....Christian Bale thanked his wife...his kids....and Satan....for his inspiration on this role of Dick Cheney....and this on the Lord's Day....the usual day for these type of awards. I wonder how many Christians tuned in? As most of us know by now.....Saul Alinsky dedicated his Rules For Radicals....a book that meant so much to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.....to that first rebel....Lucifer. Christian Bale thinks that this was a joke....but he's just a pawn. Are our pulpits beginning to feel a little uneasy by now? The following post is three days old:
I usually research a movie before I go to the theater to see it but did not do it this time because I just figured that it would be a liberal hit job on Dick Cheney....so I would just go to see Christian Bale's portrayal of the former Vice President which I had read was very good. Only it wasn't a 'movie'....movie....as much as it was a docu/comedy/drama/SNL skit. The film is Vice. Anyway....how bad could it be with Christian Bale? Well....it was.....pretty bad.
I nodded off once for about five minutes. Don't worry.....I don't think that I would have missed anything profound or even honest.......for what are the odds that in a 132 minute film....of which I saw about 127 minutes without anything profound or really honest....that there would have been something profound or honest during that five minute nod-off?
Bale's likeness to Dick Cheney was amazing....and some of the other actors did a good job with their characters. It really could have been a good film....parts of it were good! I don't know a whole lot about Christian Bale.....only that I like his movies.....but why he would make this film.....I can't begin to understand. Now....every time that I see him in a movie I'll not only think of Dick Cheney....but I'll think about a hit job on Bush Republicans. Just about everyone with the exceptions of Condoleeszza Rice and Colin Powell came off as power-grabbing and mean-spirited....and some of them came off as downright evil.
One other thing....(the following is somewhat of a spoiler.....but really.....there's no way to spoil this ending)....Dick Cheney....(Bale).....is interviewed at the end of the film.....almost the end.....you think the film is over but they have to come back with a short piece where a dumb redneck Republican physically attacks an intelligent Democrat....anyway....Cheney begins to answer the interviewer's tough question....then pauses....and turns to the camera....us....and starts to answer in a way where he is supposed to essentially be caught admitting the ugly truth....blowing his cover....but it kind of does the opposite....making him look....not so bad. Well if you see the film then you can make up your own mind on the closing scene.
Vice is not going to change many minds....if any....but it may further weaken any discernment left in the college crowd....but for those whose minds already operate no further than the mantras of this New Democrat Party....they will just continue on where they are at. Republicans will just get more incensed. Trumpsters may take the tact that these things would not have happened with the non-politician Donald Trump as President....but those who are not just followers of talk radio....and who are not pep rally types or CPAC types....will just....and immediately....see what's really behind a film like this.
