Christian Bale Badmouths Moses
Moses was "likely schizophrenic" and "one of the most barbaric individuals," says Christian Bale, who plays Moses in "Exodus: Gods and Kings," the latest in a series of biblically-based or inspired films. Director Ridley Scott adds that in his movie, the parting of the Red Sea will be caused by an earthquake, and not by God or Moses.
"I think the man was likely schizophrenic and was one of the most barbaric individuals that I ever read about in my life," Bale said, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which has carried his remarks about Moses made before international reporters last month at the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles.
