gracefulily76 Review of All the Little Animals

All the Little Animals (1998)

Christian Bale is the foremost incredible actor of Gen X - completely inhabits the character Bobby.

[8/10 · 30 November 2006]

This movie is incredible. Christian Bale gives the most convincing, beautiful performance. He becomes Bobby. The story is so unique and really is for those motivated by compassion and love for the simple, and often under looked in society. The stepfather is evil incarnate, and I could almost not bear watching him. John Hurt is amazing in this as well. I loved this movie! This isn't a review, just me, expounding on my favorite actor, Christian Bale, and how in love I am with his work. He brings it every time! The scenery in this is gorgeous as well, of the English countryside. There is a scene towards the end when Bobby (Bale) starts crying over Mr. Summers and it is magnificent. He is so believable. Good triumphs over evil. It is a bit twisted at times, but you have to watch this with the spirit of justice in mind. This is a story of love, and the power of the simple, the "unpowerful" in our world's eye.
