Who would you pick in this film?
Ah. They're both perfect in my opinion. It was seriously hard to pick between the two. Smith lied to her (his own selfless reasons) and Rolfe did everything he could to make her happy.
Plus I'm a Bale and Farrell fan, so it's really hard to choose between the two.
Debra Morgan: "Goddamn pantyhose! Has anyone ever died from crotch asphyxiation?"
Christian Bale is 10 x the actor.
shareAs far as actors are concerned, each can do well in films which fit their personalities. If I were a princess in the film..... well, neither one was a good option - colonizing scum, etc - lol
As far as the actors are concerned, I'd say Farrell seems like a dude who can be trusted a bit more - I'm basing this on his eyes - not his eyebrows -
Bale's acting was crap because this role did not fit him well - he was supposed to play a charismatic fellow, but he wasn't selling it at all - he was saying kind things to the girl, but his eyes were dead of any emotion, truly reminiscent that of a psycho - hence american psycho was a remarkable fit for him. So, of the two, I'd say Farrell played the more charismatic and believable character - if he was supposed to be playing a liar though - I think the two actors should have been playing each other's role instead - Christian Bale can't sell emotion, but he can sell psycho and lying personality well.
Once again, I'm not here gaslighting Bale - but like Farrell's acting - Bale also has a limited acting ability. Farrell is better at selling emotionally distraught and overfilled character, while Bale is better at playing cold, but keen character.
Farrell was a better actor.
