This is a story of Trevor, a machinist, who has not slept in a year. Trevor(Christian Bale) is dying of insomnia for no reason that he don’t knows. His physical appearance is something that is hard to digest. I was shocked to see him in such a condition. Searching how he made to look like that i found that ” He starved himself for over four months prior to filming, as his character needed to look drastically thin. Allegedly his eating consisted of one cup of coffee and an apple (or a can of tuna) each day (approximately 275 calories).He lost 62 pounds (28 kg), reducing his body weight to 120 pounds (54.4 kg). Bale wanted to go down to 100 pounds (45.3 kg) but the filmmakers would not let him due to health concerns. He later regained the weight, plus an additional 40 pounds (18 kg) due to weightlifting, and proper eating, in preparation for his role in Batman Begins. ”
The movie is like a thriller, the suspense is kept till the end, At the end all of a sudden in 10 Minutes the truth is revealed. I found it some what disappointing at the end. But i have to appreciate him for his physical figure that he made for this movie.
Will give 7/10
