the machinist
man, christian bale was damn emaciated in this film... i dunno if it was legit or CGI, but bale was really thin in this...
a psychological thriller in the vein of memento... but it is different not only because it's narrative structure is mostly linear and the protagonist instead of reminding himself of the events that put him in his situation, bale's character tries incessantly to suppress it from which he becomes an insomniac...
as with other indies, the film isn't really a technical marvel... but what it lacks in technicalities, it makes up for it's cinematic prowess... the screenplay is superb... the filmmaker succeeds in getting and sustaining attention through a weird oddyssey within trevor reznik's guilt ridden and fantasy creating psyche...
