English actor Christian Bale speaks to journalists during an interview on the red carpet as he arrives for an event of the Zhang Yimou-directed new movie 'The Flowers of War' in Beijing, Monday. Academy Award winner Bale, in the midst of promoting the film he made in China that some critics have called propaganda, has been stopped trying to visit a famous human rights activist living under house arrest, with a CNN camera crew in tow.
