It is absolutely uncanny how Christain Bale looks so much like Dick Cheney in Vice. Bale takes a role and literally becomes the character. This will garnish him another Oscar nomination.
Amy Adams stars as Cheney’s wife with Sam Rockwell as President Bush and Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld.
Directed by Adam McKay who is known for writing and directing comedies with Will Ferrell, who also is one of the producers of Vice, takes on this more serious parody movie about a businessman who grew more powerful as the Vice President to George W. Bush.
There are two movie clips. One shows Cheney as a young drunk and the other as a cunning politician. Each clip captured my attention and the acting is incredible. I only posted the cunning Cheney because the young drunk clip is not embedding to the site, right now, but you can click on the young drunk movie clip at the end of movie clip.
Here are two powerful featurettes describing Lynne Cheney and the influence of Dick Cheney’s realm. With that, it is unbelievable how much Christian Bale looks like the real Cheney.
I saw Vice this week and my first impression is joking and degrading of an ignorant, evil man, who is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of people. Not to mention, he changed laws that now influence news and social media. Cheney was sneaky and worked his way into power to destroy so many lives. Sure, the movie twists with liberal influence, but those liberals in office at the time are just as responsible for the evil doing.
Christian Bale is fantastic as Cheney. Hats off to the makeup and costume designers. Amy Adams is good, but I will be surprised if she wins the Oscar. I enjoyed the cameos by Naomi Watts and Alfred Molina. Adam McKay wrote a clever screenplay, and he might when an Oscar.
The movie is hitting the streets with Blu-ray and DVD combo packs as well as streaming. The movie is filled with shocking information about our government. It’s wild and crazy to think this actually happened. Cheney is truly evil.
The special features available are worth getting the Blu-ray or DVD including Deleted Scenes, Making of the Movie, and Gallery.
