"My hope is that people will be repulsed by the character's complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism - that's what I was saying about the difference between the character's message and the film's message"

In this quote, Christian Bale expresses his hope that viewers will certainly be disgusted by the character's unethical behavior and fixation with consumerism in his movie. He stresses that there is a clear difference in between the message of the character and the film itself, suggesting that the character's actions must not be interpreted as a moral overview or backed by the movie.
