Look

Anthony Hopkins’ eyes are complex and charming, filled with elegance, innocence, evil, anger, compassion…

Even in life, a simple glance can make people shudder.

The role that made Anthony Hopkins popular all over the world is naturally Hannibal in “The Silence of the Lambs”, known as “the most elegant demon in history.”

In the eyes of the world, Hannibal is completely a monster.

Evil and fierce, even when eating people, the heartbeat will not exceed 85.

But when the trainee police officer Clarice walked through the cells, what she saw was a decent and polite gentleman.

When Hannibal was chatting, language was a killer.

Through his eyes, he can perceive other people’s tastes and painful experiences, and then break through the opponent’s psychological defense.

When Hannibal attacked, his moves were direct and vigorous.

Killing is like walking in a leisurely court, with ease and grace.

His face and eyes can withstand the test of various scenes (close-ups, close-ups).

Watching Anthony Hopkins acting is a kind of beautiful enjoyment.

In “The Elephant Man”, Anthony Hopkins plays a young doctor.

When he saw Elephant Man (named because his face looks like an elephant’s face), he was shocked by his ugly appearance. The emotions in his eyes were very rich, panic and sympathetic.

Starring in the biopic “Nixon” is another state.

In the film, Nixon was always deliberate in politics, capable and pragmatic, but had to resign due to the Watergate incident.

Anthony Hopkins showed his fragility, helplessness and unwillingness, and his performance was three-pointers.

In “Westworld”, Anthony Hopkins plays the founder Robert, who is taciturn and unpredictable.

In addition to such works with heavy themes and profound meaning, Anthony Hopkins also often appeared in entertainment blockbusters, and his performances are still stable and delicate.

For example, the wrath of the gods in Thor.

For example, the jazz in “Transformers 5”, a character who bears the most laughs in the film, still has a very dramatic look in his eyes.

Anthony Hopkins is 83 years old and is an evergreen tree in the film industry.

In 2008, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 61st British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards. He also won the Oscar for best actor, five mentions and two.

Such a glorious addition is an unattainable dream for many actors.

But many people don’t know that it was an accident at first that he became an actor.

Death

Anthony Hopkins’ childhood was not smooth.

He was born in Wales, England, and his father was a baker, always thinking about letting him inherit the family business.

Anthony suffered from dyslexia and autism when he was a child, and his classmates often bullied him. He endured loneliness and loneliness since he was a child and grew up as a bystander.

Withdrawn, he came into contact with music and painting, and once won a scholarship from the Royal Wells Academy of Music and Drama for his piano expertise.

Later, he entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, studied under Lawrence Oliver, and honed and grew up in stage plays.

To be a less rigorous analogy, the performance to Anthony Hopkins is roughly similar to the cannibalism to Hannibal——

“Such insufficiency gave me a taste of blood. When I stop performing, I will have a desire to perform.”

In 1968, he was invited to participate in “The Lion in Winter” and collaborated with Catherine Hepburn.

With the role of Richard, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 22nd British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards.

Since then, he has been magnanimous and has created classic roles one after another.

Remuneration has also risen with the tide, reaching US$20 million at its peak.

In an interview a long time later, when Anthony Hopkins reviewed his reasons for being an actor, he mentioned a key word: death consciousness.

This keyword can link his life and acting career.

When he was young, illness and discrimination from classmates forced him into a cage.

Engaging in stage play, it is difficult to fully release his enthusiasm and energy, which makes him feel that he is at the end of the road and must break through.

After moving to film and television, many of the roles he chose were related to “death”-he always aroused people’s fear of death well.

“Hannibal” brought him a huge reputation, but it almost trapped him. After this, most of the roles he received were lunatics and villains.

Can only break the old and create the new again.

For example, in “The World’s Fastest Indian”, Anthony Hopkins performed the protagonist’s near-death experience, gaining a sense of accomplishment in sports.

For example, in “The Dresser”, Anthony Hopkins plays a man with a strong obsession. He must complete “King Lear” before his death.

Perhaps it is also related to age. Anthony Hopkins’s works are getting closer and closer to the theme of “death”.

Therefore, it seems logical to star in “The Father”.

Mutual Achievement

In the eyes of Mr. Time, Anthony Hopkins and “The Father” are mutual accomplishments.

Director Florian Zeller said frankly that when he wrote the script, the person he imagined in his mind was Anthony Hopkins.

In the movie, the actor’s name is the real name of Anthony Hopkins, and even the date of birth of the actor, December 31, 1937, is Anthony’s real birthday.

The director once said: “This story is like a maze, and the audience is in the maze and must find a way out.”

In the film, he performed the complex and multifaceted aspects of an old man, such as being extremely stubborn at times.

For example, the fear of death, the fear of being abandoned and fragile.

And the despair after learning the truth, the powerlessness after the memory disappears.

Anthony Hopkins himself also used this movie to deal with the most important proposition of life: getting along with the fear of death.

Everything is a matter of familiarity and success.

Today’s Anthony Hopkins has a more relaxed attitude towards performance and life.

During the epidemic, he played the piano and cats at home, thanked his health, and informed his fans of the recent situation.

He didn’t attend the Oscar awards ceremony. After winning the award, he even recorded a thank-you video in his hometown.

At the age of 83, he has lost the ecstasy of the past for awards.

Instead, he deliberately expressed his condolences to the “Black Panther” (Chadwick Bosman).

Those great performances of Anthony Hopkins have already left a strong mark in film history.

And “The Father” is undoubtedly the most colorful chapter among them.
