Okay, I give you an example of how powerful an actor Sir Anthony Hopkins is. I thought this was Sir Anthony at an actual AA meeting! I had no idea he was an actor delivering lines in a movie! You don't get more realistic, believable, convincing, and authentic than that. IMHO, he is better than the great Olivier, Brando, or many others. I place him in the hallowed company of comparable thespians as Peter O'Toole, Michael Caine, Dame Judy Dench, and Dame Maggie Smith. His voice is hypnotic. Bravo!
@Momcat_maggiefelinefan Жыл бұрын
I thought this was a real testimonial until the end. The others said ”Thank you, John.” My father was an AA member for many years. He said they used first names only, and in this snippet they thank John. Knew the great actor was a sober man though.

I would say that a great actor doesn't say the lines as if they were his own thoughts. He says them as if they were the own thoughts of the character. I think the problem with Hopkins is that he does what you say. They sound like lines AH actually thinks. There are some comments down below that argue whether the scene is from a movie or from an AA meeting. What creates this confusion? The fact that Antony Hopkins is often indistinguishable from the characters he plays. They become him rather than the other way around.

God Bless you Sir Anthony Hopkins! To my beloved friend Tianna 🙏🫂 Every day including now I've been praying 🙏 tirelessly for your recovery 🙏🤧. Not a day goes by where I haven't thought about you 🫂 and my concern for your safety! I miss you and keep praying you'll see your children grow up and walk across that stage, exchange 💱 their marriage vows etc..I pray always that we'll get to talk again where you're safe and fully recovered. May the Man above continue 🙏😇 to hear my prayers 🙏 good vibes, and petitions on her behalf. Thank you Anthony Hopkins for giving me hope for the people I love most.

Seek help.AA can,clergy,pastor any number of health professionals is better than alone and toilets. My tools didn't work for this problem. Like mechanical tools on a aircraft.

I'm a member of a 12-step fellowship and I have heard thousands of "shares" - although this was a scene from a movie, it none-the-less is powerful and will resonate with anyone in recovery. Not just in the words spoken but the way it was spoken. Whoever wrote it understands the fundamental necessity of absolute, complete moral honesty required to recover in any 12-step fellowship. Mr. Hopkins understands too. Every "good" share should embarrass the person sharing to some degree. If it doesn't, you're not being totally honest. Every day I try to practice the principles in all my affairs.

I felt each line as he was saying it. That's great acting.

What is this film called? Very powerful acting. I love Anthony, one of the greatest if not "the" greatest of all time.

He did this so well. Tricky to do, but he did it and did it wonderfully.

Anthony Hopkins has hugged the cactus tree of sobriety, that's his greatest accomplishment.
