Hello everyone, I'm in Alaska with glasses and a microphone, tablet.
Speaking of Hannibal, many people think of this face:
But the real old movie fans think of a different face.
The owner of this face is called Anthony Hopkins.
His appearance in "The Silence of the Lambs" made Hannibal, the ogre, a nightmare on the silver screen.
So it stands to reason that he was the founder of Hannibal's image.
Hopkins also won an Oscar for the film.
What I want to talk to you about today is a new work of this movie emperor.
Douban score 8.8, it is said that this year's Oscar film emperor if he wants to get it, many fans will smash the computer.
The name of this new work is called "Father Trapped in Time".
*The film is possible to introduce
Its story is simple, mainly describing the old man's old age.
Specially, the old man suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Commonly known as "Alzheimer's disease".
In the film, the director uses the confusion of time and space to express the impact of this disease on people.
The old man played by Hopkins often wakes up and does not know where he is.
He will lose part of his memory, but he will be impressed by another part of his memory.
He had two daughters, but the younger daughter died in a car accident, which he could not accept.
The eldest daughter carries everything alone and tries to take care of her father's living.
Father and daughter travel through time and suffer.
But the daughter has her own life and will not be with her knees forever.
The dramatic conflict in the film is that the daughter wants to send her father to a nursing home.
The father, on the other hand, stubbornly does not want to leave, afraid of being abandoned.
The director disrupts the timeline of the story, creating a sense of time loss after the elderly are ill;
It also made him end up where his final destination was, becoming a "puzzle" that could not bear to let people break the window paper.
Because "Father Trapped in Time" is not a movie with the plot as the core, in fact, its story has so much capacity.
But I have to say that Hopkins' performance is moving in the movie.
He showed the complex psychology of the elderly to the fullest.
The movie "Father Trapped in Time" is basically a collection of Hopkins's one-man shows.
He fuses the helplessness, humility, and sexual introversion of people into their twilight years into the character's every move.
The occasional dazedness on his face, like a baby who can no longer control his body, is in place.
"Father Trapped in Time" was shortlisted for six Oscars in 2021.
Many people who have watched the movie feel that the crown of the film emperor will be taken away by Hopkins again.
In the 84-year-old life of the old man, he has actually won an Oscar at present.
That was 1992's The Silence of the Lambs.
It's been 29 years.
In The Silence of the Lambs, Hopkins gives Hannibal a soul of absolute elegance and extreme indifference.
He was slow and methodical, even polite.
Usually gentle like a high-level intellectual, he likes to talk about it the most.
But once the dark gate was opened, he would violently reveal his fangs.
His eyes were clear at first glance.
But after a long time of staring, you will gradually have a cold feeling.
You will suddenly find that the man opposite is not a gentle lamb at all.
It's a ferocious beast.
"The Silence of the Lambs" put Hopkins at the pinnacle of acting.
Since then, he has also played many wonderful roles, but every time he has passed by the movie emperor.
For example, the year after the release of "The Silence of the Lambs", he starred in another film nominated for the film Emperor, "Farewell to love".
In this film, Hopkins plays a butler.
In his master's villa, he witnessed the historical changes of World War II.
Also harvested a fruitless love.
This movie is a kind of "stuffy film" in the eyes of ordinary movie fans.
There are no ups and downs of the plot, only the years that flow like water.
*Hugh Grant's shadow also appears in the film
After "Farewell to Love", Hopkins starred as a celebrity tycoon to hone his acting skills.
For example, U.S. President Richard Nixon, who is difficult to interpret.
For example, hitchcock, the controversial master of suspense.
Even the Pope acted it out.
Speaking of this pope, 2019's "Succession of the Pope" almost sent the old man to the throne of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
It's really a step away (the supporting actor who won the supporting actor award that year was Brad Pitt, who starred in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood").
In the film, the actor who plays with the old man is the "cannabis sparrow" in "Game of Thrones".
Both of them are actors among the ashes-
The scenes of the two are actually very heavy.
Hopkins' character, based on the real-life archetype of the former Pope Benedict XVI.
In 2013, Pope Benedict XVI was under great pressure because of various scandals in the Christian church.
The world criticized his conservatism and shielded the demons in the church (bishops and priests who sexually assaulted boys).
The greatest punishment many of these errant church members faced at the time was simply to transfer out of the parish.
*The Oscar-winning "Spotlight" is about this scandal (2015)
Under the pressure of public opinion, Benedict XVI was also doubting himself, wondering if he had done something wrong.
In the end, he decided to resign voluntarily in order to bear the mistakes he had committed.
He was replaced by Francis, who was more enterprising, played by the Cannabis Sparrow.
Benedict XVI in the film has many details of human nature, transforming him from pope to ordinary man.
For example, he likes to eat alone, and dinner is just two potato balls.
For example, when he is bored, his favorite leisure activity is to play the piano.
In order to become pope, he tried to lobby everywhere and increase his support.
Also because of the church scandal, he doubted that he had lost the ability to enlighten himself and fell into self-denial.
Francis, who succeeded Benedict XVI, is also very three-dimensional in the film.
Don't look at him full of free thought, but also carry the fault.
When he was young, he was caught in a storm because of political movements.
He wanted to save the parishioners, but he suffered from lack of power, and no one listened to him.
Revolutionary parishioners, bent on rebelling against power, called Francis a coward.
"The Succession of the Pope" portrays two such imperfect spokesmen of God.
That's the beauty of movies.
It uses light and shadow to turn each person into a unique individual as much as possible—perfect, but inhuman.
The depth of the so-called divinity is the complexity of human nature and the determination of this complexity.
Hopkins' performance is stuck between complexity and determination.
Having said all that, Hopkins also had a time to pick up the eye.
Especially 2017's Transformers V: The Last Knight.
According to my colleague:
The whole film is actually on Hopkins acting skills online, but it is energetic in the integration of the plot, hard performance.
The rest of the people, all paddling.
There's also 2016's Top of the Speed.
I've seen this movie, but I can't remember the plot at all.
I also forgot what role the old man played.
These two films became a stain on Hopkins' acting career.
He was also nominated for the 38th Golden Plum Worst Supporting Actor Award (both films nominated together).
The former was pulled into the water by pig teammates, and the latter was a complete failure to take over the play.
* And this inexplicable tiger wolf word
As an old drama bone, the most important thing is to not turn over at the dusk of life.
Fortunately, "Father Trapped in Time" proves that the old man's sword is not old.
It even has more power than ever before.
As I mentioned earlier, it is possible that this film will be introduced.
When the time comes, I will definitely go to the big screen to see the old man's old and strong style!
If you also like this old drama bone, please like him and support him!

Let's talk about it today.
Bye bye bye.
