[@parig5228]

honestly this was one of those moments in the film that shows Hopkins brilliance.... To go from charming and suave, to cold, cruel and the way he does it by insulting the aide and then his daughter was remarkable.

[@MTknitter22]

The daughter was devastatingly hurt here. The parent knows just what to say that hurts the most - even if they are not in their right minds. 😢

Hopkins is incredible but Olivia captured my heart. I have to laugh at myself of course but wow, such powerful incredible people here. A terrific interview, all four of you. Olivia you are a force

[@parig5228]

This scene alone the way Hopkins goes from charming, polite and humoring to establish dominance through the word inanely and then telling his daughter she's cruel, manipulative and that he will outlive is her is just astonishing. My mom went through a similar thing when she was taking care of my grandma who was ill and at one point, stated that her son treated her better than my mom did. Everything here from Hopkins movement, words and language to the horror on the face of Olivia Colman and the humiliation she and the carer experience is just a remarkable job by Florian Zeller. I'm so thrilled the academy got this right and gave Hopkins the Oscar.

[@richardgornalle4536]

Olivia Colman is wonderful and simply superb. He, of course, is brilliant and deserves his Oscar.

[@Lizy1337]

I'm not sure if I ever was scared to watch a film but I'm already sure I'll be an emotional wreck afterwards

[@Alun49]

Watching Anthony Hopkins for even a few moments is a master class in acting. Every moment is riveting. The best of the best.

[@AJolie009]

So you'd rather take a way an Oscar from someone who has given, presumably, one of the BEST performances ever given and hand it over to someone who has done a good job but passed away? That's how it works? Sentiments? Well how about you honor Anthony Hopkins for the fact that he played this character when he himself is 83! Do you have any idea how difficult that must have been, to explore the frailty of that character when they're the same age? How painful it must have been to embody those emotions and put your own mortality into questioning? HONOR THE MAN ALREADY!!!!!

[@TurkElaneE]

I really hope he pulls through, if he wins BAFTA. Chadwick wasn't even good in ma Rainey, if he were alive I doubt he'd be nominated. It's not the right way to honour his death

[@elisagiordano24]

What's more, Anthony (the character) shares the exact same birthday of Hopkins'. That must have been tough for him.

[@telectronix1368]

@@elisagiordano24 The writer only wanted Hopkins for the role, it's why the character is called Anthony, the music in the film are favourite pieces of his. 'any similarity with characters living or dead is......entirely deliberate' 😊

[@mats6022]

well they didnt

[@soniacolletto6467]

Anthony, you have been my favorite actor for many years. You are simply great

[@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.

Living through my father's decline with Parkinson's was so so difficult, and the worst part in the end the normal vocal, animated charismatic personality is trapped in the shell of the body that once could.

[@poorthing]

It's been a couple weeks since Oscars. I'm happy for Sir Phillip Anthony's record winning best actor win. Immediately cries of a 'snub' to Chadwick Boseman. He was not snubbed. He was one of 5 performances honored. A majority of Academy voters chose Hopkins performance. Each actor is still honored. Yes, Bozeman won most of the awards leading up to Oscars but there have been 'upsets' before & will again. I liked the distribution of awards in the female category, it looked like Frances early on for every award but each actress had individual wins. ( Frances happened to be my choice) Anyway, Boseman left a short but memorable collection of performances and was honored many times, he will continue to be a source of pride whether he 'won' one more or less award. All 5 actors were the chosen & nominated and that in itself is wonderful recognition for each actor.

[@yaroslavvdovenko3482]

[@TyroneBeiron]

Should have been dedicated to all the families who had to endure a similar character in their lives, an elderly family member who is animated and charming towards strangers and others, and intolerably abusive in very manipulative and subtle ways to their own family members acting as caregivers. On the other hand, in a perspective study, this film allows us to explore what one and the other genuinely feels about being treated as such: 'heartless and manipulative'. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TyroneBeiron]

@@raseloueddjilal3023 I have. And I'm not new to the topic of dementia, either. I'm also familiar with Zeller's work and his cinematic use of colour etc to evoke our understanding of the perspective of the sufferer. It's equally presumptuous of you to assume one doesn't understand the film, or the subject matter. Unfortunately illness with loved ones we care for can require one to endure a variety of abuses. Anyone who has experienced that will relate at some level with the film but not necessarily as other audience because the takeaway is very personal.
