Stephen Colbert, thank you for giving Anthony time to talk and not only allowing him like 2 minutes! He deserves the respect you showed him.

[@Lassenissen]

This! When Hopkins is talking, you shut up and listen.

[@peglamphier4745]

That's exactly what I was thinking... so many talk show hosts would have felt compelled to talk over Hopkins. Steve knows to shut the hell up.

[@DonnaSnyder]

I found it disrespectful to constantly call him Tony, several times in a single sentence. They aren't on the same level of experience, age, talent, or skill.

It was amazing and he even wished my mother a Happy Thanksgiving. Just an amazing man.

The fact that he just refers back to the script and doesn’t have all this pomp and circumstance while discussing his approach to acting shows how truly talented he really is. None of the Hollywood bs, a true actor who does it for the craft, not the lifestyle.

[@telectronix1368]

Fun fact: the pieces of music in the film were chosen by Hopkins himself. The character was even named Anthony because the writer had Hopkins (and only Hopkins) in mind for the role.

[@nskid]

Stephen is right on all counts. "The Father" is heartbreaking. It is also profoundly disorienting and beautifully made, and Sir Anthony's performance is simply astonishing. I have no doubt, Anthony Hopkins is our greatest actor today.

[@Shylade]

This movie will be required to all my nursing staff once it can be streamed or bought on DVD. Many reasons to why but one thing stuck out. The entire movie you don’t know what is real. You experience it like he experiences his reality. By the last scene you are mentally exhausted and never really get a good resolution. The end scene, if we saw it first, would be typical thing for my nurses. An old man regressing and broken. But when it’s last, you’ve been on the ride together you see a man who was fighting harder and stronger than any of us have to in our daily lives. He is losing his mind but his strength is extraordinary. It can help my staff give these patients the respect they deserve as they aren’t pathetic, they are merely exhausted after their daily long battle.

[@happydays59]

Very true. I had cared for many dementia patients over the years and everyone of them deserve respect and caring. Families and care givers should see this movie.

[@freshname]

That's something so profoundly truthful. We tend to forget that those people have been fighting dementia for ages, they've gone through hell and now they are just terribly exhausted. Yes, they lost their battle. But not before they put a fight. And the battle they lost is the battle everybody loses. There's no way of winning it.

[@Light-tc8xc]

As a nurse, I’m totally on board with this. Wish it had been available 10 years ago when I first began working as a nurse.

[@dyanspeaks6010]

My mom too. I have a hard time being around her because she’s so changed.

[@suzannetodaro5494]

@@dyanspeaks6010 I can relate my Mother too. And it is hard to see her disappear before my eyes and turn into someone I don't know anymore. She is not cruel or angry just different, then she gets moments of clarity like the sun coming out from behind a cloud and tells you she loves you. It's all worth it then, all the empathetic pain I feel of witnessing the slow loss of herself, it leaves me drained, hence reluctance to visit. But I will go because I love her. :(

[@dorothysay8327]

Both my parents had it. My advice: love and embrace them for what and who they are *now*, not simply remembering the past. Because eventually she will be fully restored and THEN some ...and you will be together. There’s no ‘darkness’ at the end, only LIFE. Nothing slips away, nothing is truly lost. That is only termporary....God gets us all in the end.

[@lewilewis3944]

Spoiler alert; A truly amazing film, super intelligent and clever. The creeping changes to the set, the main characters being played by more than one actor to add to Tony's confusion. Olivia Coleman is just as good as his long suffering daughter at her wits end. The final scene where Tony has regressed to being a young child just wanting his mum was one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen.

As a nurse who worked in a nursing home several years ago and now works in the hospital but still comes across dementia patients often, I wish I could’ve seen this movie earlier. It’s one thing to learn about dementia from books and even from an outside perspective, but to feel like I was in the mind of someone with dementia…I really feel like this will actually change how I work with my patients and will remind me to be more patient with them and to be more empathetic but also not infantilize them, because many of them have already lived an entire life. These are things we already know to do, but the fast paced nature of the job leads to improper behaviors in care that aren’t beneficial for the patient. My heart is broken.

My father had Alzheimer’s. Watching a parent I cared about deteriorate and suffer as he did, while my abusive and uncaring mother did what she could to “hurry along” the process to get his money and benefits faster, made me sick, made me cry, and made me feel horrible and guilty that I could not do more. Dad’s last smile to me, as he somehow recognized me before he died, made me realize that no matter how much the part of the brain death occurring in that part that remembers and knows, there is a part somewhere that has the memory of love and knowing of the person’s child. I will never forget my dad’s smile of recognition and love. And I will never be able to watch a movie about anyone suffering from Any kind of dementia if I can help it, as it’s just to painful!

[@Demoiselle21]

I feel your pain about your Mother, and am so glad for you that your Dad recognised you and could clearly sense your bond. Sending you love and hugs.

[@ravedandall]

I fully appreciate your choice not to watch the film, i too wondered if it was a good idea. I have read several reviews from others who have experienced the trauma first hand like us, the same gut wrenching sadness of watching the deterioration. They mentioned that watching the perspective of ‘The Father’ actually gave them a telling and relatable experience that somehow offered some peace from the trauma. People really do need to see this film about reality. I hope that he gets an Oscar.

[@JRRLewis]

​@@ravedandall I found the film deeply disturbing, but in a way cathartic and certainly brilliant. I think the film will mean the most to people with personal experience of this sort of thing, but not everyone will be able to deal with it. I would encourage people to give it a try though if they think they can handle the subject matter. And Hopkins deserves an Oscar for this portrayal more than most people who have won an Oscar before, but he's sadly not favored to win to the (potential) disgrace of the Academy.

[@FreakieFan]

In my eyes, The Father is the best, most impressive and most affecting movie of the year, by far. I wish Hopkins would deservedly win (Stephen is correct in saying that this is his greatest performance) but unfortunately I doubt anyone has a shot against Chadwick Boseman this year.

[@PretentiousStuff]

Academy, please understand that by giving the Oscar to Chadwick Boseman out of sentimentality, you're not honoring him, you are disrespecting his legacy. You wouldn't want your tombstone to say that you invented or discovered something that you didn't because that would be undeserving and disrespectful to your first and foremost. There are plenty of other ways to honor Chadwick, and he will forever live in our hearts as one of the greatest actors of all time. But this year it is Sir Anthony Hopkins who gave the best Lead Actor performance and Chadwick would be the first to graciously admit that himself if he were alive now and were able to see the magnificent film that The Father was. Please don't let the great 90+ year old tradition of rewarding the best achievements in movie history fail on April 25th. Do the right thing. Do the noble thing. That's what Chadwick would want you to do, too.
