– Knight of Cups
The gentleman went from beating criminals to representing the excesses of Hollywood. Bale is shown here naked as a character who has a lot to do with himself. Despite receiving very negative reviews, Terence Malik It certainly launched the most honest portrait of what it means to have so much power and ego in one person. And doing so in these times has double value.
Moreover, this was his first meeting with Natalie Portman, whose paths might cross in the future. Thor: Love and Thunder† But in this case their scenes will not be so gentle.
