ANTHONY HOPKINS

The Remains of the Day is a very beautiful film (I can assure it since I've seen it many times!!) directed by the famous James Ivory, also known thanks to films as 'A room with a View' (from which I would recommend either the film or the book by E.D Forster).  This director relied on talented British authors as Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson to present one of Kazuo Ishiguro's most beautiful stories, from which the film received its name.

Let's read a bit about Anthony Hopkins, his best films and main triumphs in the cinema world:

Name: Anthony Hopkins
Born: 31 December 1937 (Age: 73)
Where: Port Talbot, Wales
Height: 5' 7"
Awards: Won 1 Oscar, 3 BAFTAs, 2 Emmys, 1 Golden Globe

All about this starBest known the world over for his Oscar-winning performance as Hannibal Lecter in ‘The Silence of The Lambs’ (1991), Anthony Hopkins’ diverse roles all have one thing in common – his unique ability to immerse himself totally into his character role, lending such credibility to his best movie performances, one example being his portrayal of Adolph Hitler in the film ‘The Bunker’ (1981), Hopkins filled his evenings off set, frequenting a German restaurant eating endless plates of Wiener schnitzel, whilst reading his lines and submersing himself in the hysterical ranting of the broken Fuhrer. So convincing was Hopkins playing this ‘madman’, another award-winning performance in one of Anthony Hopkins’ best movies.

Sir Anthony Hopkins is undoubtedly one of the most legendary and versatile British actors of all time and at 73 years of age, he is now in his sixth decade of film making.

Anthony Hopkins has played many different types of characters, from Presidents to Kings, psycotic killers, wealthy businessman, but one of his most loveable characters has to be Burt Munro in ‘The World’s Fastest Indian‘ (2006).  Interestingly this is one of the 2 speed record movies the actor starred in, the other being ‘Across The Lake’ (1988).

You’ll be able to read the best movie reviews spanning Anthony Hopkins’ entire film career from his first tv film ‘A Flea in Her Ear’ (1967) right through to the present day latest box office movie releases, such as ‘The Rite‘ (2011).  The movie reviews are unique and only ever written from first hand viewing experience.
