I love Christian Bale as an actor but I really don't see him playing the Terminator. I think Arnold ruined that role for anyone who wants to step in and fill his shoes, it will never be done. Actually I see him playing the little dude that was always chasing the terminator trying to kill him!
Now I do see the Rock playing him!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
