»Christian Bale vs Keenu Reeves«

I just watched freewebs.com..., a film with many Matrix like elements in it (like gunkatta.com...). Anyway, I just couldn't get over how much the main actor, Christian Bale, resembled the main actor in the matrix (especially from RELOADED). So, twins at birth, or was it just good make-up and costumes?

Actually, I'd just seen it not long after watching sonypictures.com..., and the gun-fights and sword fights were all very similar to each other and to the Matrix films too (especially when appendages get sliced off opponents in the final battle sequences).

I agree that Reeves and Bale looks a whole lot like each other, but i think thats mainly because their characters is more or less the same "kind of" character (ex. savior of humanity, bringing our nature back to us...). So the casting crew just chose the same kind person to play the role, I dont hink they are related in any way...

From what I could see, Bale is very fit and athletic, and did most of his own stunts. A veritable acting machine!

He's also the little kid (main character) in Spielberg's movie of "Empire Of The Sun".

I thought it was the other way around. The book was very long-winded (ok, ok, ok we get it! He's a sick bastard!) and the twist wasn't very obvious. In the film it was much more fun and much less confusing at the end.

But I don't think either of us would deny that Christian Bale is great in that movie.

Really? Geez, Ican remember watching that film in the cinema when it first came out. Good adaptation of the book. I guess everyone grows up eventually.
