THE FATHER Q&A | TIFF 2020

[@FEARisCOLD]

I literally just finished watching this movie and my god I can’t stop crying.

[@najatm]

I sobbed like a baby

[@mrabduh]

We all do

[@brunettebeauty93]

SAME! I watched this movie last night and was uncontrollably crying. Such a beautiful and unsettling movie.

[@bettymaxwell6029]

It is a very powerful movie.The caliber of acting is INCREDIBLE!

[@candycandy759]

I understand, especially the slap scene and the ending, he was really crying badly, I have a hard time watching this movie even though Anthony hopkins it my favorite actor

[@gabrielsanabriaibieta]

Sir Anthony Hopkins is adorable... a lovely grandpa. And Olivia Colman is a queen, that's all I need to say

[@theredbus1]

Just watched The Father and Hopkins gives the best performance of his life - which is saying something. Colman is amazing as well. Marvellous film! Thank you for this interview.

[@rocios.635]

the direction of this movie is impecable, great photography and music. And of course the performance of Anthony Hopkins blow me away, it is impossible not to cry and its so natural and genuine, he deserves the Oscar for sure.

[@rayhanihsannasution4199]

I do hope this to come true

[@bulsk1]

I honestly think this is the best film I’ve ever seen. I remember thinking exactly what Sir Anthony and Olivia Colman talk about here - there was not a single point in the entire movie where the thought of these people being actors entered my mind. It was so real. Both performances deserve the Oscar, they were both masterpieces.

[@RendyLannister]

Just watched this film and i cried almost whole hour especially at the ending when Anthony get lost and broken.

[@rayhanihsannasution4199]

just watching this interview makes me want to cry... the people behind this film is so passionate, the goal to make people feel what they feel is completely successful. every person who made the film done is deserve everything, especially florian zeller, you are a genius! man, I can't stop thinking about this film, it's so frustrating that I just keep being reminded of every aspect of it, such a perfect film.

[@Sikosm]

It really is a beautiful interview

[@rayhanihsannasution4199]

@@Sikosm agree, the interviewer did a great job too

[@justChrisjones]

What a privilege for this writer to work with these particular actors. I had a dream of Anthony Hopkins last night. Lucky me!!

[@jennifergargiulo4526]

Hands down should have won the oscar for best picture. Devastating and beautiful film.

[@gloriakummer5357]

To see Anthony so genuinely interested in what the director was saying, being such an important person himself, I didn’t realize how humble of a person he is. Nothing against the director as he is obviously brilliant, but it’s Anthony Hopkins!!

[@ManojPatra_]

Look at them, how they are listening to each other. Seem like so invested and definitely the outcome is great. Probably the what makes them great.

[@uncleswing4046]

Wow. When Anthony got choked up I felt it.

[@CVVCaluVidaVerde]

is a pleasure to hear Antonhy talk about his act... i love this man - From Brazil !

[@loverox777]

The tragedy, sense of utter disorientation & helplessness of this illness was palpably conveyed in this film. So many tears. And the acting there just are no words.

[@dun8410]

This movie made me cry, in fact i called my mom.

[@Arivva777]

OMG this movie just squeezes your heart. Sir Anthony Hopkins is just treasure of the World.

[@zixiongwang9659]

had to search up a video of the legend to see that he's doing fine after watching the movie. What a haunting experience. Hope he gets that Oscar.

[@alonsoalvarez007]

*spoiler alert* He DID get the Oscar Truly deserved

[@gloriakummer5357]

It was so realistic, that I too was worried about Anthony.

[@anju04aa]

Such a wonderful stalwarts star cast...the TIFF anchor has a very pleasing personality....

[@topdawg9268]

Great movie draws you into every emotion and feeling gets all your attention. Masterpiece I’d say so. Anthony and Olivia made a hell of a film

[@jobsmine]

Wow what a tragic and heartbreaking film about a father with dementia. It highlights how our brain deteriorates with age and agonizingly loses all the memories we have. The film truly shows how it is difficult to cope with dementia. Seeing Anthony cry broke me down to tears because he was such a phenomenal actor. All aspects of the film including the editing, screenplay and score was perfect. And I’m happy that my all-time favorite actor win the Oscars, Bafta and Saga award all in one year. He is that good. 10/10.

[@uncertainsubscriber4815]

This is actually a nice interview. I am excited to watch this movie.

[@isabellemartinelli7459]

Merveilleux acteur dans ce magnifique film ! MERCI

[@gloriakummer5357]

Can’t stop crying

[@cass2303]

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

[@DoveSharma]

I've kinda fallen in love with sir Anthony and Olivia maam after this film.

[@janiekcarney5482]

I’ve spent my Life with Sir Anthony in and out of my Life. It’s like he’s a Father to me.

[@mickkev]

This is absolutely a great movie. Too bad it did not win the Best Picture Oscar Award.

[@HOELEC2]

What a dream of an interview ! Very humane, very touching.

[@CharlotteElizabeth92]

Just finished watching this film. Mindblowing performance from Anthony Hopkins.

[@lourianelay2731]

AMAZING INTERVIEW. I KNOW I'LL SEE THIS FILM MANY TIMES.

[@sarahbrown1881]

Literally can't wait for this one!!! I can hear the audacious rapturous applause now in my mind's eye. They should introduce 'TEAM OSCAR' for this one. Seriously!! No one character is greater; it's a collaboration of combined genius endeavor. It's going to be a smorgasbord of raw human expression. I love the raw explosive magic of these movies. Shadowlands was my all time favourite movie, suffering separated into pain and happiness moments in linear fashion. But consciousness always whispers into the darkness, ever increasingly calling you forward to embrace more and more happiness within every moment of now and not reflective of any outward situation. It's all the joy and happiness of life! Anthony you have the most chrismatically appealing personalities of all time. You mold into each character, personality and expression. Your drive to embrace life in human form was so enormous one character played out on the big screen of life was like a drop in the ocean of human expression and reality. You were always thirsty for more. I love you your a true humble gentlemen of heart filled love. A real rare gem.

[@robynreid7591]

So close to my own experience - so powerfully presented. I wish I had seen it before and then I would have understood my mother better.

[@Kristilleshi2014]

Congratulations to all of the great team.The film was just amazing. In the end I couldn't stop crying

[@sebastianalegria3401]

When I went to see The Father at the cinema, I thought of spending a nice time, but I got destroyed after seeing the film. Besides, sir Anthony Hopkins's performace was so brilliant and at the same time, heartbreaking especially in the ending, which made me cry quite a lot );. As a result of the movie, Hopkins won his 2nd Oscar for best actor in a deserved way.

[@HelloThereIAmAlice]

Just watched The Father yesterday at Gothenburg Film Festival (online). Amazing film. And these three people are just... terrific. Wow. Can't wait to re watch Broadchurch now, and also some of Anthony's films that I haven't already seen.

[@blackforest825]

What an actor, what a person! Such a gentleman. Wow. Speechless.

[@Noname304y2u2]

Just watched it, it was pretty hard to watch but Hopkins and Colman both deserve Oscar's.

[@justChrisjones]

I also will watch so many times.

[@cinnamontoasty9226]

just saw it at the cinema to be honest almost made me cry , great film

[@rayhanihsannasution4199]

Anyway, kudos to the interviewer, she shows genuine appreciation to them and makes the interview so dense even with only in a short duration👏

[@ItsKarenReyes]

I cant wait for this film...Looks absolutely amazing

[@da96103]

Olivia: It was easy to work with Anthony. Jodie: It was uneasy to work with Anthony.

[@ZDY66666]

Anthony Hopkins deserves a god damn oscar.

[@IsabelleDelesalle29857]

J'adore Anthony hopkins...respect sire

[@jaquelinetavares6410]

Essa foi a conversa mais fofa que já vi. 😍

[@JT-qr8lt]

Floreen is great! Having watched him from his books and his plays, exceptional artist.

[@DeLunny]

Watching this after watching the film and feeling genuine relief that Anthony Hopkins and Anthony the character are separate people.

[@marcoquack3387]

Wow, this movie is so so emotionally powerful.

[@debra13]

I just finished watching the film- so beautiful and heartbreaking. I also had watched the 2016 Olivier Awards , where the actor who played the father also won Best Actor and the actress who played Anne was in Broadchurch, so that's a nice situation. But I also feel confused by some of it and yes, I am going to have to let it go, but more importantly, to put us in that state of being was such a genius writing move. Thanks.

[@MarkNieuwenhuizen]

Watched the film and visited my father who has upcoming dementia.

[@musttydd8407]

Such great piece of art

[@faloticostefano]

The Father, not a masterpiece but a great film, obviously.

[@debra13]

I hope memorizing all those lines for decades and needing to be focused, will prevent any illness of that sort for Sir Anthony. I can't memorize a thing and I am a few months short of 70.

[@gallanonim8688]

Great Movie, fantastic AH!!!

[@justin1603]

wow this was a great talk very respectfull and smart after this and the trailer it looks like this could be a great movie

[@cece8095]

I can’t explain how much I adore & respect the wonderful Olivia Colman & Sir Anthony Hopkins:) Both are just simply gifts to the film industry. 🤍

[@rayhanihsannasution4199]

the one thing I just realize is, anthony and olivia have a veryyyy similar approach in terms of acting after olivia won the oscar for the favourite, they did some interview, and one of the interviewer asked "how do you go abot finding the tragic and absurd and complexities of queen anne?" and she humbly answered "I don't know, I truly don't know". everytime some interviewer asked her as how did she accomplish the many emotions of queen anne character, she can't answer it because she didn't prepare it, she just deliver well, the most she said is if the script is as good then you can just do it, she also mention that yorgos' direction make her feel safe and when you feel safe then you can do the best out of you. the same as anthony, when she asked him about how did he find the core of the character anthony living with dementia, he said that it's so easy, he said "I was so knocked out by the script". he also repeatedly mention florian's directional work and quite surprise as it is his debut feature. he get such a good direction and a very well script so he delivers. the same thing about those 2 I just mention is, (if I can say much of it) anthony and olivia are a true born actor. it's rare for a person to just given a work like that and deliver without trying to do much of approach. they are both not method actors, whereas method actors always try to become something they are not so they can perform well as the characters, very different from anthony and olivia when they have the skill already to act so they deliver easily. these 2 people is a very lovable british persona and legend in acting world, they are so remarkable and I love them for what they able to do, such an inspiration for other actors if I must say.

[@jayjaypen2]

Beautiful people.

[@_sparrowhawk]

Yeah incredible movie - it really felt like a play - beautifully done

[@DjXxify]

Beautiful film! If you have the chance I highly recommend you go see it

[@FutureAbe]

unbelievable film

[@Sikosm]

Brilliant film

[@Noname304y2u2]

Wow this is this guy's first movie?!

[@hassenmohamed1841]

I like how are they acting this Filim

[@shubhamvichare1658]

Very well deserve oscar 😍

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

A very good film.

[@archilarjevanidze]

IT'S HIS FIRST FILM?!?!?! oh wow

[@renato.bakaadv]

Nice interview

[@najatm]

the movie was so good

[@tibway]

@3:05 oh, so that's why Anthony kept mocking the idea of Ann going to Paris: "They don't even speak English over there" Nice one for the haters, L'Artiste !

[@moxie5915]

Anthony got a new watch! 4:30

[@ommeena8400]

beautiful

[@annamcgovern7898]

I'm not sure I'm ready to watch this as much as I love Anthony Hopkins .to close to the bone :(

[@rayhanihsannasution4199]

I didn't expect this film to hit me THIS hard, I really love it but I just can't imagine to experience watching it for the 2nd time

[@JF-NYC-NJ-Girl]

Me too 😢

[@alexwest2945]

Running for oscars next year ?

[@SCharlesDennicon]

The movie is a masterpiece, Zeller's directing blew my mind, Hopkins deserved his Oscar, Colman (AND WILLIAMS !) were sensational, and I liked their energy in this video, but... Jesus, it's the ONLY reasons it worked, because that woman was an absolute bore. "I hate that we have to cut this short" ?! Why ? It's not network TV, it's the Internet ! =__=

[@delagiasemi5706]

i had the same expirience with my mum

[@delagiasemi5706]

two years after her death i still feel i didnt offer enough

[@iamdmc]

7:21 this is where the video begins this film would be nothing without Antony Hopkins' performance

[@adolfopena7358]

Anthony sure has lost weight.

[@billbuffett2092]

He looks healthy

Holy Quran 17:23 ------------------ ۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. 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. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving. Holy Quran 17:26 ------------------ وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully. Holy Quran 17:27 ------------------ إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوا إِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفُورًا Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful. 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.

[@lepianiste4099]

on a rien compris a ton film mec XDDDD

[@Pingaheimer]

I wanted to like this movie but it kept putting me to sleep, Mortal Kombat as much better.

[@donnakuhl2419]
