Absolutely brilliant acting. Hopkins is terrifying in that scene.

Absolutely brilliant acting. Hopkins is terrifying in that scene.

Yeah, I love the air of seething menace that he brought to that role.

 

[Sopwiths North]

Yeah, I love the air of seething menace that he brought to that role.

Probably the scariest scene for me in that film was the closing shot of him walking away free and blending into the giant crowd. He could be anyone. I remember leaving the theatre and feeling pretty bloody nervous for a fair while.

Apparently Jodie Foster was actually scared of him.

Some movies get better with continual viewings.

Ex Machina is one of those movies.

[The Warlord]

I can't link it, but the scene in 1917 when he gets caught out in the open by the star shells.

The soldiers, on all sides, always used to write about the star shells, and their unearthly beauty, and how they'd turn night briefly into day, and how getting caught out in them was the most terrifying thing possible.

It captured that.

It's a magnificent film, helped shape me I reckon.

It's hard to get my head around that my Pop was doing that when he was 15.

Let not Ambition mock their useful toil,
Their homely joys, and destiny obscure;
Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile
The short and simple annals of the poor.

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th' inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Can’t remember if I’ve added this one before. Anyway, it’s worth watching again

Hollywood made a passable version of "13 tzameti" with Ray Winstone & Mickey Rourke playing roles, but I recommend folks seek out the original Georgian version of the film that won the world cinema jury prize at Sundance in 2006. Excellent movie.
