Those are real maggots Christian Bale is eating.
Dieter Dengler was captured not once but twice in real life. The scene where he was captured while drinking from a river is based on his second capture.
The film was shot in reverse continuity so Christian Bale, having worked hard to lose weight for the role, would appear the gauntest at the end, and then could simply gain the pounds back over the course of filming, working backwards through time so that when Bale returned to his average weight he would be filming his scenes as Dengler prior to being taken prisoner.
In a show of solidarity, as many of his actors lost weight for their roles, the director lost almost 30 pounds.
Jeremy Davies lost 33 pounds for his role.
"Dieter: Empty what is full. Fill what is empty. Scratch what itches."
"Dieter: I remember, I was in the attic with my brother. We were looking out, and we see this fighter plane, beautiful, coming right at us. And it's firing from its wings. And I see the machine gun, it's flashing and - whooosh - it goes flying past the house. It's so close. I mean, it's *feet* away from the house. And the canopy was open. And this pilot, he had his goggles up on his helmet. And I could see his eyes. And he was looking at me. Right at me. He's looking right at me. And then as he turns to go, he's starting back, he's looking right at me still. And the thing is, from that moment on, little Dieter, he needed to fly."
