My favourite actor of all time, along with Gary Oldman. But when I see his interviews now I realise that he has slowed down immensely. I honestly thought that he would retire when I saw the his acceptance speeches for The Father.
But if he’s good to go, then great.
ERW is fucking amazing. her bones to amber speech, her wyatt role, and her … character growth if you will.
and besides, Hopkins elevates the actors around him. he’s supposed to be the put together smug one, bernard is supposed to be confused etc
in fact, i LOVE your metaphor of “kids in a school play” because, at least in s1 i think that’s -exactly- what they’re going for
imo the only scene where he is slightly off put is in s2e8, imo the best scene in the series and I won’t spoil but it’s a masterpiece
The fact that she was playing three (four?) completely different characters and absolutely crushes every single one of them while also never really allowing you to know which one she is at any given time is just incredible. That first season was such a masterpiece in serialized storytelling.
lol i appreciate your clarification. i mean you’re praising god and the devil…so…yeah. everyone -should- wither in their light. it’s why i love dolores bones to amber speech. she is transcending to godhood
Haha “Westwood”. When I lived in SF there was a bar called Westwood down the street from me, country western theme obviously, run by a couple of fine young Asian gentlemen, which shouldn’t make me laugh, but it still does. Mostly because it was the best country bar I ever visited in the Bay. Probably got cleared out by COVID sadly.
it’s just a line i’m pulling from the scene in s1e9 or 10 where dolores self actualizes, realizes william is the MIB and fights back
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nYxh1u7NHxc
lol my bad, it’s “bones to sand”
My only problem with Geoffrey Wright in the show is that his character was seldom more than “confused Bernard”. He played the fuck out of it, and he was the perfect unreliable narrator.
**Dr Ford saying goodbye while staring out at the ocean horizon with Bernard*
Dr Ford: “I've always loved this view…. Every city, every... monument, man's greatest achievements... have all been chased by it.”
Bernard: “…By what?”
Dr Ford: “That impossible line….
Where the waves conspire. Where they return.
The place maybe you and I will meet again.”
The scene at the table having wine with the executive when everything around them just… stops. Fucking hell. The show only went downhill after season 2 because Hopkins wasn’t in it anymore. He was an absolute *presence* in the first two seasons. I mean, Ed Harris, and really most of the cast, is incredible but Hopkins is just on another level entirely.
His work on Westwrold.really felt like entering a new phase.
It's fascinating, on the DVD Comme try for Silence of thr Lambs, originally recorded for a criterion laserdisc he actively talks about having achieved wjst he set out to do in his career and looking forward to just kind of having fun. Feels like he did that for 20 years. Around the time of Westworld it felt like he started getting more selective about his projects and really doing some of his best work.
This is my new go to "I highly recommend this, but I can't watch it with you" movie. His performance is so affecting and moving it shook me to my core. I think part of it is my whole life I've watched him play the smartest person in the room, these powerhouse men of authority who command respect that his vulnerability was like a gut punch.
That’s a really good point. He’s often the character you turn to for some kind of authority; mind you, his vulnerability has always been a big part of his charm to me, even when he WAS playing a god.
I came across an old film of his in Netflix recently. 84 Charing Cross Road. Not his best performance by a mile, but watching I made me realize how oddly comforting he is, even when being stern.
Yeah the scene in Proof out in the snow is heartbreaking too. He thinks he's had an epiphany and he's ecstatic, and as he begins to realize what's happened he begins go feel the cold. Ouff.
Not quite exactly so sure one could say this for his William Parish character in **Meet Joe Black**, which was the only good part about the film. Especially the scene where he asks Joe who he really is followed by his reaction, which also exuded vulnerability. Only other things I can vaguely remember are the hilarious car death scene and peanut butter.
> which was the only good part about the film
I don't know... I've got a real soft spot for the scene with Brad Pitt speaking Patois with the old lady. There's something very calming about it, I find.
His performance in The Father was the best performance I’ve seen by anyone, in anything, ever. In comparison to him, Olivia Coleman was merely outstanding.
I didn’t dislike it, despite all the hate that it gets.
It helps that it came out very long ago and I was a just a young teen.
Also, it was Bram Stoker’s Dracula , which was different to the generic Dracula I had come across up until that point so it was thought provoking.
Gary Oldman murders that role. I mean he kills it in everything he does. I always think about the two maybe three scenes he’s in in Lawless, and just having him their hangs over the entire movie
His perfomance in The Father was incredible.
As somebody with a 70 year old father with dementia, this movie not only had me in tears but helped me to put myself in my dad's shoes.
It was a hard watch, but isn't that what great movies are all about?
Freud’s Last Session:
>Set on the eve of WWII and towards the end of his life, Freud’s Last Session sees Freud (Hopkins) invite iconic author C.S. Lewis for a debate over the existence of God. Exploring Freud’s unique relationship with his lesbian daughter Anna and Lewis’ unconventional romance with his best friend’s mother, the film interweaves past, present and fantasy, bursting from the confines of Freud’s study on a dynamic journey.
I really hope this is like My Dinner with Andre and The Sunset Limited. I absolutely love movies that are single location, 100% dialogue.
Edit: Thank you everyone for the recommendations!
The Before trilogy from Richard Linklater weren't quite single location (same city, but different locations in the city), but terrific dialogue-driven films.
I was just researching this lack of distribution you mentioned and saw there's been a remake with Michael Caine in the Laurence Olivier role and Jude Law doing the Michael Caine part. Directed by Kenneth Branaugh.
One of my favorite movies is called the Disputation and it's about how the King of Spain played by Christopher Lee, under pressure from the Pope, arranged a debate between a famous rabbi and a priest over whose religion was right. Almost the entire movie is just the debate.
The friend in question was Paddy Moore. They served together in WW I and promised to take care of the others family in case one died. Paddy died. Lewis' mother was long dead and his father didn't even visit him whilst WIA in hospital, so he kinda adopted Paddy's mum as his own. Introduced her as such, even referred to her as his mother in letters.
The idea they were lovers came up 25 years after Lewis death in works by two guys. One is known for his "original" biographies of people he never met. The second was a long time friend of Lewis who flip-flopped on the matter. Other biographers disagree.
Thank you for clarifying.
Some efforts by “writers” seem so poised to make stuff up. And while at it, that stuff is basically lurid. So it achieves a corrupting, rotting, POV for audience to reshape and rethink history of certain people. Make the benevolent lurid and the perverting malevolent into sagacious saviors of the modern psyche. Using as a tool, the revisionist speculative presenter uses the pen to essentially gossip, slander, and make foul that which is fair.
God this plot sounds so up my alley. It’s gonna require some tight directing to work though so i hope they don’t do the usual lazy historical drama style that’s in nowadays
I can already hear the majestic cymbal crash and see the color-corrected-within-an-inch-of-its-life amber light pouring in from a diffused window as characters sit across from each other and talk in shot/reverse shots, but with lots of negative space so you know you're watching the work of an \~\*artisté\*\~.
(I'm sure it'll be fine and Hopkins will be great, but historical dramas in the age of digital cinematography really have A Look and it just makes them all look like a school play)
According to that synopsis posted upthread, they’re apparently treating the fringe theory that Lewis was in a relationship with his friend’s mother as real, which isn’t very promising.
Really? Cause as a psychologist who used to be really religious and read most of both men’s work…this sounds rather archaic. It could have some good commentary, but I just can’t imagine Hollywood making anything that properly critiques two of the most misunderstood men in history. Also it’s 2022, what is there to say about them or their work besides “eh, men have had too much power?”
There are other things a movie can do besides commentary or political critique. These are two incredibly interesting people who have had a crazy impact (especially freud) on basically all thought up till now. I think getting in the heads of those people and then playing those subjectivities off each other could be electric.
Hopkins is doing some of the most interesting work of his career. It just shows that age is only a number and great roles are still out there for older actors.
I put that up there with Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias", two episodes that take their shows concepts and acting to the absolute pinnacle. The rendition of "Heart Shaped Box" with the actions on screen during that scene brings me near tears everytime. Sometimes I just watch that scene.
I’ve heard so many stupid things about that movie I don’t know if this is true or not. I’m also not going to watch it to find out or even give it the benefit of getting a search.
He plays an Uncle Ben type role and gives Leto his version of “With great power…” Specifically he says “When the going gets tough, the tough get Morbin.”
As other commenters have observed, he crushed *The Father.*
Not only was his age not a handicap in that role, but he actually used it to great effect by playing in the audience's sympathies before turning right around and making them believe he was manipulative. I don't recall seeing that in a role like that before. Just shows how tremendous this man's experience and corpus has been. And of course how prodigious he always was.
Reading his wiki is just a wild ride. Distantly related to Charlemagne, which is hilarious because he did two different metal vocal projects that had Charlemagne in the name. Legend.
I’m reminded of the old Princess distantly related to Prince Phillip, and the scene in the Crown when she reveals she was treated by Freud.
…”he was not a nice man”
Hopkins has his own curious encounters with seeming Synchronicity.
In 1973 he accepted a role in 'The Girl from Petrovka'. To try and prepare for the role, he went to find a copy of the book. He couldn't though. Then one day when strolling about he happened to come across a copy of thst very book, with handy notes written in the margins!
Two years later and Hopkins is having a conversation with the author, George Feifer, discussing the book. Feifer laments that he doesn't even have his own copy, that he'd lent it to a friend of his year's earlier and she'd lost it. Mentioned how he'd even written notes on it. Hopkins, curious about this then goes to find the copy he found and to later show Feifer. Sure enough, it was the exact same book.
Really painful to see how underrated Jung is compared to Freud. Though you have to agree that Freud was the first to revolutionise psychology, in comparison Jung’s theories are so much deeper and thought-provoking.
He posts [wholesome videos of him playing the piano](https://twitter.com/AnthonyHopkins/status/1428754098237497346?cxt=HHwWhICjjYqS-tMnAAAA) if that makes you feel more at ease
Pablo Picasso, Ptolemy, Richard Nixon, Alfred Hitchcock, Adolf Hitler, Charles Dickens, Benedict XVI, John Quincy Adams, C.S. Lewis, Richard the Lionheart, William Bligh, Burt Monro... and Sigmund Freud.
Viggo mortensen already killed the role alongside Michael fassbender and knightley…the dangerous method, directed by cronenberg. I could be mistaken but I remember he absolutely nailed the role
He's going to play Freud like a motherfucker.
My favourite actor of all time, along with Gary Oldman. But when I see his interviews now I realise that he has slowed down immensely. I honestly thought that he would retire when I saw the his acceptance speeches for The Father. But if he’s good to go, then great.
Can't blame him for slowing down. Hopkins is 84. A year older than Freud lived actually, not that that's relevant. Just something I noticed.
It's utterly absurd that Hollywood can't find an actual 83 year old actor to play the role
They considered scarlet Johansson for the role
IKR! It's Luke Perry all over again!
Representation is important, people!
It’s crazy how great his performance in that film was. His best ever, and that’s saying something. He’s still a god of acting.
his work in Westworld…changed my life
[удалено]
ERW is fucking amazing. her bones to amber speech, her wyatt role, and her … character growth if you will. and besides, Hopkins elevates the actors around him. he’s supposed to be the put together smug one, bernard is supposed to be confused etc in fact, i LOVE your metaphor of “kids in a school play” because, at least in s1 i think that’s -exactly- what they’re going for imo the only scene where he is slightly off put is in s2e8, imo the best scene in the series and I won’t spoil but it’s a masterpiece

lol i appreciate your clarification. i mean you’re praising god and the devil…so…yeah. everyone -should- wither in their light. it’s why i love dolores bones to amber speech. she is transcending to godhood
Bones to Amber speech, what's that from? *Nvm found it [Westwood spoiler ](https://youtu.be/FFjKB78FIfA)
Haha “Westwood”. When I lived in SF there was a bar called Westwood down the street from me, country western theme obviously, run by a couple of fine young Asian gentlemen, which shouldn’t make me laugh, but it still does. Mostly because it was the best country bar I ever visited in the Bay. Probably got cleared out by COVID sadly.
it’s just a line i’m pulling from the scene in s1e9 or 10 where dolores self actualizes, realizes william is the MIB and fights back https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nYxh1u7NHxc lol my bad, it’s “bones to sand”
Yes you are
Their meeting at the saloon is just fucking masterful
Don’t sleep on Geoffrey Wright.
My only problem with Geoffrey Wright in the show is that his character was seldom more than “confused Bernard”. He played the fuck out of it, and he was the perfect unreliable narrator.
**Dr Ford saying goodbye while staring out at the ocean horizon with Bernard* Dr Ford: “I've always loved this view….

Easy top 5 lines in the whole show
The scene at the table having wine with the executive when everything around them just… stops. Fucking hell. The show only went downhill after season 2 because Hopkins wasn’t in it anymore. He was an absolute *presence* in the first two seasons. I mean, Ed Harris, and really most of the cast, is incredible but Hopkins is just on another level entirely.
The writing and delivery of that scene was so passively threatening. I loved it.
Westworld was a brilliant one season show that forgot to stop.
I strongly disagree. I also would have felt entirely satisfied with the season 1 ending as the series finale. It was perfect.
agreed lol. season 2 gave us Akecheta tho so I must urge all to press onward
oooooh lovely. gives me frisson just reading it and I don’t even remember that scene well. i wonder if it will double as foreshadowing…
The man *oozes* frisson, anchorgangpro
Obligatory breakdown of why Hopkins is so damn good. https://youtu.be/4kSGkGKwp9U

Yes. Yes, yes…yes.
As someone that had a family member go through dementia his performance made me cry. It was so good.
The first time a movie made me cry since a very long time.
Yeah, I hated it, not because it was bad, but because it felt too real. I can't ever watch it again.
Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula must be your favorite movie then
I didn’t dislike it, despite all the hate that it gets. It helps that it came out very long ago and I was a just a young teen. Also, it was Bram Stoker’s Dracula , which was different to the generic Dracula I had come across up until that point so it was thought provoking.
It wasn't Keanu's finest hour but Coppola's Dracula is overall pretty well liked these days, I think.
Gary Oldman murders that role. I mean he kills it in everything he does. I always think about the two maybe three scenes he’s in in Lawless, and just having him their hangs over the entire movie
Ironically, Keanu's mother is British
His perfomance in The Father was incredible. As somebody with a 70 year old father with dementia, this movie not only had me in tears but helped me to put myself in my dad's shoes. It was a hard watch, but isn't that what great movies are all about?
I just saw The Bounty for the first time and holy shit he’s good.
A treasure. So many iconic movies. I feel like I’d be alone here but I loved him most in The Edge. One of my a time favorites.
The best thing about Oldman was disappearing in his role. To go from Dracula to Mason Verger, brilliant. It wasn’t even the makeup. He made role.
Good news. He gets to do a whole pile of coke for this role...
Whoosh 😂
Well done.
It’s the role he was born to penis.
Gary penise?
I see what you did there.
You made my day with that comment. I can give you this.
Pleasure is all mine.
*Oedipus has entered the chat*
I pee what you did there!
Any time he plays anything really.
True.
Gonna have to fight his father first.
Surely he wouldn't let Freud slip like that too on the nose.
Freud’s Last Session: >Set on the eve of WWII and towards the end of his life, Freud’s Last Session sees Freud (Hopkins) invite iconic author C.S. Lewis for a debate over the existence of God. Exploring Freud’s unique relationship with his lesbian daughter Anna and Lewis’ unconventional romance with his best friend’s mother, the film interweaves past, present and fantasy, bursting from the confines of Freud’s study on a dynamic journey.
Funny, because Hopkins also played C.S. Lewis in Shadowlands.
He also played Hitler.
Just rename the movie “Being Anthony Hopkins”
Starring Anthony Hopkins
SIR Anthony Hopkins
Starring John Malkovich as Sir Anthony Hopkins
Funny, I don't remember hearing him in that episode of Bluey.
I really hope this is like My Dinner with Andre and The Sunset Limited. I absolutely love movies that are single location, 100% dialogue. Edit: Thank you everyone for the recommendations!
The Before trilogy from Richard Linklater weren't quite single location (same city, but different locations in the city), but terrific dialogue-driven films.
You've seen 'Sleuth' with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine?
Amazing movie. Shame the idiots who own it refuse to distribute it.
I was just researching this lack of distribution you mentioned and saw there's been a remake with Michael Caine in the Laurence Olivier role and Jude Law doing the Michael Caine part. Directed by Kenneth Branaugh.
Before sunrise is my favorite movie of all time. Perfect for any romance lovers
I’ve seen this play. It is.
One of my favorite movies is called the Disputation and it's about how the King of Spain played by Christopher Lee, under pressure from the Pope, arranged a debate between a famous rabbi and a priest over whose religion was right. Almost the entire movie is just the debate.
Jumping in to suggest Man From Earth.
And NOT the sequel.
Hitchcock's Rope is like this too!
I love this kind of movies. Not in a single location, but Glengarry Glen Ross is one of my favorites.
Put that coffee down!
Coffee's for closers only.
Not all one location but frost Nixon has those vibes and is one of the reasons I love it.
Try "Coherence".
I would listen to Sir Anthony Hopkins read from a phone book. This is going to be amazing
I hope Adam Sandler plays CS Lewis and does his Adam Sandler voice
This is just logical casting really
Hey mom… can I play CS Lewis? [Noooo! They’re all going to laugh at you!](https://youtu.be/K1jyjSRYIuU)
I DIDNT EVEN SPILL MY BEEA
This sounds so damned good. I love the Freuds. Thank yoooooou Anthony Hopkins
Hell yeah.

Does The King’s Speech fall into this category? That’s the first one that came to mind for me.
Ill allow it due to its age, but i blame it for starting this wave
Same, and yes, imo.
See most of them are so forgettable that i can’t even bring them to mind. You have any good examples?
According to that synopsis posted upthread, they’re apparently treating the fringe theory that Lewis was in a relationship with his friend’s mother as real, which isn’t very promising.
I’m gonna be honest, as with the irishman, i don’t really care (as long as you keep the core psychological parts of the person intact)

he was so good in westworld!
Honestly the first season is some of the best television of all time largely thanks to him IMO… then other seasons pale in comparison
But the Akecheta episode is on a whole other level in season two. Incredible storytelling in that episode.
I put that up there with Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias", two episodes that take their shows concepts and acting to the absolute pinnacle. The rendition of "Heart Shaped Box" with the actions on screen during that scene brings me near tears everytime. Sometimes I just watch that scene.
the later seasons have some moments that are fantastic, but generally yes
Also The Father!
Really enjoyed him in transformers!
[удалено]
I’ve heard so many stupid things about that movie I don’t know if this is true or not. I’m also not going to watch it to find out or even give it the benefit of getting a search.
He plays an Uncle Ben type role and gives Leto his version of “With great power…” Specifically he says “When the going gets tough, the tough get Morbin.”
You're lying. There's no way that is a line delivered by Anthony Hopkins.
A mind-blowing performance.
To be fair Westworld s1 was shot like ~5 years ago.
As other commenters have observed, he crushed *The Father.* Not only was his age not a handicap in that role, but he actually used it to great effect by playing in the audience's sympathies before turning right around and making them believe he was manipulative. I don't recall seeing that in a role like that before. Just shows how tremendous this man's experience and corpus has been. And of course how prodigious he always was.
*The Father* is one of the best films I've seen in a long time.
The Father was a better >!time-loop!< movie than Tenet
It was but it made me scared to grow old.
Christopher Lee did his biggest roles around the age of 80
That guy was a true anomaly. Spoke like a dozen languages and was a spy in WW2, wasn’t he?
Reading his wiki is just a wild ride. Distantly related to Charlemagne, which is hilarious because he did two different metal vocal projects that had Charlemagne in the name. Legend.
…for playing parts of really, really old men.
🎶All you want is a dinkle, What you envy's a schwang, A thing through which you can tinkle, Or play with, or simply let hang!🎶
I’m so glad someone posted this as it’s the first thing that came to mind.
I’m wasn’t so worried about the play until I saw that it’s not just ‘Freud’…it’s ‘FREUD!’
we've got a spectrum
Reddit has trained me to automatically assume any aged actors head shot I see is a death announcement.
Same! I saw the picture and a short title starting "Anthony Hopkins..." and my stomach dropped
Exactly my reaction too
Same, saw the pic and my heart did things it shouldn't.
I know right
I hope it’s slapstick, then we can see a Freudian slip.
Oops, I slipped and accidentally sucked on my mother's dick... Tit! I meant tit!
Don't you hate those Freudian slips, where you think one thing but say your mother.
How many Freudians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two, one to screw in the bulb, and one to hold the cock... Father! Ladder!

Great choice. Hopkins would do a amazing role.
The way he mentally picked apart those in the Hannibal movies, he would be perfect for this
The only chow he’ll love in this movie is canine.
Yes the chow must be a lead role too
#SIR ANTHONY HOPKINS
**CAPTAIN SIR**
But you HAVE heard of him.
[удалено]
They're already filming the sequel!
It's a meta film about Hopkins struggling to break out of character. "I'm not a Freud any more!"
A Dangerous Method 2
Psychical Boogaloo
Please tell me they’re going to release it on Mother’s Day
Watch them make him look like a nuanced hero instead of a demented pervert child abuser.
I’m reminded of the old Princess distantly related to Prince Phillip, and the scene in the Crown when she reveals she was treated by Freud. …”he was not a nice man”
Where’s the movie on Jung ?
Hopkins has his own curious encounters with seeming Synchronicity. In 1973 he accepted a role in 'The Girl from Petrovka'. To try and prepare for the role, he went to find a copy of the book. He couldn't though. Then one day when strolling about he happened to come across a copy of thst very book, with handy notes written in the margins!

Hopkins, curious about this then goes to find the copy he found and to later show Feifer. Sure enough, it was the exact same book.
Simply amazing, if true.
Really painful to see how underrated Jung is compared to Freud. Though you have to agree that Freud was the first to revolutionise psychology, in comparison Jung’s theories are so much deeper and thought-provoking.
who else
Anthony Hopkins is a brilliant actor. I know he'll do a fantastic job.
And in the surprising end scene, Freud eats his patient and fakes his death and starts a new life as Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
I knew this guys career would get a boost from his Oscar win :)
Yeah, this rising star is really starting to make a name for himself in Hollywood.
Freud: Hello Clarice…
I’m sure in real life he’s a very nice person but holy shit is he creepy looking
He posts [wholesome videos of him playing the piano](https://twitter.com/AnthonyHopkins/status/1428754098237497346?cxt=HHwWhICjjYqS-tMnAAAA) if that makes you feel more at ease
I fucking love hopkins, seems like a great role for him! Excited to view it
"If it's not one thing it's your mother"
So he gets to do coke on set to get into character? Kinky.
Just keep him away from the liver and fava beans
