The Father Conversation with Olivia Colman & Anthony Hopkins 

I lost my husband to Parkingson’s, Lewy Body Dementia and Cancer. I couldn’t contain my grief while watching this movie. Their performances were very real.

A supreme acting powerhouse by Anthony Hopkins. Fully deserving of his Academy Award win. Had more screen time than his previous Oscar win 30 years ago.

Anthony Hopkins is the greatest actor of all time

His performance alone shattered me in ways only life can. The way his face twitches and contorts to the vile emotions the character goes through is utter magic to view. Olivia is such a staggering support to him, amplifying his act to the greatest degree possible. I wish they get all the accolades this season.

Just listening to Sir Anthony Hopkins is a pleasure..it will be a delight to see him getting recognition for this role

Watched The Father yesterday. Having worked in care homes when I was younger, I've never seen such a brutally sad and authentic portrayal of the effects of dementia. An incredible film, and Hopkins is without a doubt the greatest actor of his or any generation. He is astoundingly brilliant in it.

Just watched The Father tonight after putting it off as I lost my Father last year to COVID. He struggled for a number of years with Dementia. My family & I cared for him 24/7. It was very, very difficult but also incredibly rewarding to have that time with my father. I wish I had him here to care for all over again. The one line in the movie that struck home hard for me. Was when Anthony said "Thank you for everything" to Anna.. Can't tell you how real it felt in that moment. Love you Dad. ❤️

That is exactly what this film does: Experience dementia from inside! Bringing Olivia Coleman and Sir Anthony Hopkins under one roof was the ultimate idea! Thank you for writing this story. I must apologize for not remembering the play, but that movie will be remembered. Thank to all actors and everybody involved!!!

It isn’t luck Sir... We very much call it talent but your humility is wonderful

I just finished watching with my father who is 84, it was deeply touching. Absolutely fantastic in every way, humanity and love and life and understanding.

Holy crap! This is maybe the best movIe Ive ever seen. The production, acting and cast is just beautiful all the way! I got chilLs during the whole movie. Ty Sir Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman for bringing true art to the screens😍😍😍

Oh gosh ... Mr Hopkins please know that my whanau (family) know this world ... Olivia, know that we are the daughters who live with this .. Wonderful Film and thank you

Anthony should win the Oscar for Best Actor.

It's easy to act when you are blessed with the enormous talent that Tony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman have. Bravo to Florian Zeller for his superb debut as a Director.

Coleman's last scene in the movie, when her father touches her face, expresses so much emotion in five seconds. And Hopkin's last five minutes are the acme of acting. Perhaps one of the greatest performances captured on film. Brilliant!!!

I absolutely agree with Florian - you begin by questioning everything and every inconsistencies Anthony witnesses. And just as Anthony ends up crying on the nurse’s shoulder, you end up letting go and accepting any reality you come across.

Antony, you distroyed me emotionally at your last seen. Even me want my mummy 😢

"sir hopkins, what kind of food to make people live long like you?" "i ate human liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." *big respect from jakarta to mr hopkins.

One of my favorite films of all time. Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman were brilliant. It is quite amazing that this was Florian Zeller's first film because he had such a sure hand on the film's direction and movement.

I needed to see this interview of him and seeing him healthy and fine after I watched "The Father".. Just to ease the pain it had caused me after watching the movie. 😭😭😭 so heartbreaking.😭💔

This was such a great interview. And to hear Sir Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman talk about the craft of acting was so refreshing. Hearing about actors being in character throughout the shoot is a bit jarring but to hear these gems talk about acting being knowing the lines and delivering it and tricking the brain was incredibly amazing. Cannot wait to watch this movie and cry my eyes out.

This is such a difficult sad subject. I'm glad that it is being told in such a great story with great actors. Caring for aging parents is extremely difficult, dementia makes it worst.

Sir Anthony Hopkins is like a superhero in acting. A fine cast. Made me cry when he said he was loosing his leaves.

What a brilliant film.

"Acting is simple"! Especially for born actors like Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman 😊

Such an amazing Actor - Anthony... He is so humble... and the simplicity in the words... blows my mind! #kudos for the crew.

Every budding actor, playwright or novelist should watch this. It is a masterclass by the best in the field!

Saw it yesterday. What a work of art!!!!! Amazing film!!

Just finished watching this film. Utterly blown away by Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman. Devastatingly believable performances.

I cried watching the trailer. I will never be able to watch the movie.

My mother-in-law had dementia and it was a tumultuous time for me and my husband. We loved my mother-in-law deeply, and always doing what was right for her in a sensitive and loving way was the map that guided us for a great and loving woman. We did identify with a lot of the scenes in the ‘Father’, thank you.

Tony Hopkins is aging so beautifully, so wisely. If I could wish for something for all human beings, I wish we all to age like Tony.

Made my heart ache…….such a deep, moving portrayal of father’s dementia and sadness, loss for he and his family.

Without realising, Anthony Hopkins just explained how the environment created by lighting created the atmosphere for his acting..... manipulation of the environment is also the way to support the person with dementia to feel comfortable and less confused.

Specifically watch the segment 18:00 to 22:00 minutes. And 26:00 to 28:00 , please.

just saw it last night. cried my eyes out. he was so good. the story was so good. it was so hard to watch and it made me ball my eyes out. My dad has dementia and this hit me like a truck.

What a beautiful story and played by antony hopkins in the role as the father he is as usual a genius in what his doing Olivia Robinson

Anthony just won Best Actor at Oscars for his Tour de Force performance. Florian won an Oscar too. So well deserved and thank goodness they are awarding on merit. (Would have loved to see Olivia win too). My mum (90)is now quite deep in dementia after a feistily independent life. The humanity oozing from every second of this film is astonishing.

It is one of the best movie I have saw in my whole life. Beautiful acting and well calculated script. I saw so many Japanese people tweeting about the same experience shared the feelings supporting parents as child. The film gave good message to them, too. Bravo.

A very moving film which is both disturbing and enlightening. Dealing with an aging and frail father is a tough situation to go through.

This film was a true horror film. And i mean that as the greatest compliment. It is arguably the best horror film ever made...

Marvelous film. Fantastic acting, as expected of course.

Great interview and the host was excellent as well. Thank you.

Anthony got another Best Actor Oscar.

This film was amazing. So happy with the Oscar win but so so disappointed that Olivia didnt bring an Oscar hoke for this. The subject matter is so sensitive and heartbreaking and the way she portrayed the daughter of someone suffering from dementia was so beautiful. Olivia is just world class. Such a lovely, beautiful person inside and out ❤️

This interview was so matter-of-fact and well-steered that it allowed the audience to gain valuable insight from three brilliant minds. Sincere thanks to Claudia for your thought-provoking questions and calm demeanor. Refreshing to see an interviewer who follows the 80/20 rule of listening

I loved Anthony Hopkins I The Father. I also loved his acting in Shadowlands, excellent performances. He is a great actor.

An absolute fantastic film so beautifuly written and acted.

Claudia Puig, great interview! I had to slow the playback speed down to 0.75 because you talk too fast for me. Lovely to listen to Olivia, Sir Anthony and Florian talking about this awesome movie. I've only watched the trailer so far and can't wait to watch the entire movie. My mum has dementia. I can't thank Florian enough for sharing this story and the wonderful actors for living the part of the characters as realistically as they did.

"sir hopkins, its art not acting for you..your gifted beyond belief ..no-one will ever be able fill your shoes..own the movie..

"AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... *Chadwi--* ANTHONY HOPKINS, in THE FATHER!"

Olivia is so eloquent and cute, love her

wow interesting interview with lots of insights on acting and dementia

Sir Anthony Hopkin's has my applaud for going to bed and not' giving a shit on awards'. I have marveled at his acting skills since a 'Lion In Winter' to 'Audrey Rose' and always appreciated the performances as genuine

Bravo to all involved. This movie is awesome.

Im an activity coordinator in a dementia care home,,😊😔😪such an amazing film,,,caint wait to see this,,2 of my favourite actors,,at 80 ,Anthony is my hero,a true living legend 🙌 ❤

Thank you all.

I loved “The Father”, but I’ve also loved Anthony Hopkins from the 1st film I’d seen him in, “International Velvet”! (1978)❤️

It's a great film, it was worth to be in the top 5 on Netflix

My mother at 73 broke her hip and had an operation. After that, she had another operation. Now she has some difficulties remembering. She tells the same story several times, also does not remember some important things. I don't suggest she has dementia. But hearing her call the knife on the table as scissors frightens you a bit. Hoping to watch this movie.

Florian ZELLER (French Playwright) He is certainly brilliant. And he explains his approach so well. Respect. DEZZ SG 2021-04-24

And I talked to him for a while at a function 4 years ago and he was wonderful-humble, articulate, kind. Everyone should see this movie before speaking out. He looks great too. I love Chadwick Bozeman too.

This movie was fantastic. I was really impressed with it.

Wonderful actors and suprisingly perfect director considering it is his first, unblelievebly so touching. You can experince together that condensed feeling and confusion and despair, not just observing . Still under the effect. Unforgettable work.

Anthony Hopkins is such a great actors, so admirable as an artist. So sad that he never gave attention to his only daughter. Very disappointing reading about his lack of interest for her, which along her life had caused a HUGE impact in his daughter’s life! Very sad!

Thank you for this interview. It’s so inspiring. Excellent acting and directing and set design and EVERYTHING!

God, how could Anthony Hopkins not mention "The Human Stain" where he was biracial professor and passed as white his whole adult life...when he was listing his favourite roles. That movie is profound!!!!

The watch is a concrete thing that he loses,but it is great symbol because Anthony also is losing time. His time, mortal time, his sanity.

Thanks sir Anthony 🙌👏🙌...

Olivia Colman is so goddamn charming.

Amazing movie! Well acted.

Very eye opening and moving film.

A fantastic interview, good job, amazing people

wonderful movie, very confusing due to Anthony's dementia , so well acted !!!

Beautiful film ❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

Jai I am looking forewards to watching Thank you

the beats, tone and production design (and needless to say the acting and screenplay) are phenomenal. The slowly dawning confusion as we learn the reality we are presented with is on par with anything ever done on the subject. Hauntingly poignant.

Dearest Sir Anthony & Olivia: Watching you in this film reminded me a great deal of my relationship with my own Father. Don't get me wrong, he's still as sharp as a whistle, but, certain scenes made me feel I was Anne. I dread this and pray it never happen. I pray my Father burry me and I shan't allow him to watch it. Sorry, I shan't because I KNOW he'll be deeply affected even if he doesn't openly manifest it. On another note, Dear Florian: I just saw THE SON. My GREATEST fear lies there. Sometimes I feel my life could turn out like your tales. I pray not, but must recognize you as an ARTIST. I won't allow my son to watch your THE SON film (he can watch THE FATHER) until he's 30. Thank you for your art, I can handle it, but some of my loved ones, I KNOW, would probably relate so much to it, well, you know the outcome.

Amazing film!!

For some reason i do not know why Anthony u deserve to be respected by all

*This movie made me fear getting dementia for the first time when I'm older. otherwise an amazing movie with great acting*

I dedicate this video titled Winner A.T.H. T. is of Tony !!! From my you tube channel Music of the world and which was uploaded to that channel on January 6, 2021 to the best actor whom I have always admired and shares his passion for music just like me, In the video he is the one who receives the Oscar for best actor being the last in a long list of actors from the 1920s onwards to the present day and receives the award at the end of the ceremony, Congratulations Sir Hopkins!

And his niece refused to register me for participating in Gazprom - RossSport jogging event quite a few tears ago... Also I was snubbed on several occasions by the family relationship of Yurij Alekseeyevich R.. Though, I am not sure whether he personally is being involved in this conspiracy...

Dear AFI: some things did become quite worrisome to me in the recent months... If You would think, that my comments are completely out of line, please, delete them. But I have decided to share with You those Tula realities...

I thought Anthony Hopkins was asleep when his name was called to receive the award for the movie The Father. I think there are two different stories about him when he won the award, so which one is true ? I would like to know was he painting, or asleep. ?????????/

Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. Holy Quran 17:24 ------------------ وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." Holy Quran 17:25 ------------------ رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ ۚ إِن تَكُونُوا صَالِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلْأَوَّابِينَ غَفُورًا Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves.

Holy Quran 17:28 ------------------ وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّيْسُورًا And if you [must] turn away from the needy awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.

Check out #magic, the 1978 film with Sir Anthony Hopkins

Sound of a motorcar 😂 Showing his age a little there!

Simplify, simplify, simplify. 10:50 - 14:35

Is Yuri Alekseeyevich R. the representative of the foreign intelligence of the Check Republic and served in Japan as the diplomat? His daughter, my cousin, asked me for my Mama's dimond ring "to wear it for some time"?..

And I am totally alone here. I don't feel well at all in Tula... I was not able to create a Jewish family... and in case of my death or incapacitation (probably, by the court decision) who would become the beneficiary?.. Yurij Alekseeyevich R.. How this cousins of mine considered it permissible to ask for my Mama's dimond ring?..

I would like to apologize to every person with the ethnic gypsy background, but do they have Damari Palestinian gypsy component present in this group?.. And I am the ethnic Jew...

...And now most likely they want my Dear Mother's Jewelry... and the works of the fine arts... which I became the heir to... In Tula it was impossible for me to create a Jewish family, or find any employment in line with my education. ...As the last twenty years very clearly indicated... Who stole my passport in Japan and made all the troubles for me in the end of 1990s in Japan, which mafia of diplomats?..

Sad to see how far down Hannibal Lecter has gone... However, even after having lost most of his marbles, he still manages to remain quite scary thanks to his constant unpredictability. Even Alzheimer does not affect the need for people around him to be on their toes at all time!

dont over act...be natural
