- DANNYZUKO7824 June 2025Y WAS IT SO SAD. I KNOW JONATHAN PRYCE AND HELENA BONHAM CARTER FROM THE CROWN. ANTHONY HOPKINS IS IN EVERYTHING I WATCH IT FEELS LIKE HIM AND THE CAST OF THE CROWN
- ርልዪረ8 February 2025Sir Anthony Hopkins in the story of Nicholas Winton. Who saved six hundred and sixty nine children from the Nazis. A story that didn't come out till many years later. This has two narrative strands. Johnny Flynn plays the younger Nicholas back in the day, as his first exposure to the horrors of Nazi Europe drive him to try and save as many as he can. Then Sir Anthony Hopkins as the 1980's Nicholas. You realise early on this isn't going to be a simple biopic. It's instead all about the past. How it can haunt you forever. And how to deal with it. The moment when you realise that it's doing this in the 1980's strand is so understated it really hits. The 1930's section does have to cover a fair bit of a timespan, so does a few montages. It gets in all that it needs though. It does highlight what a team effort it all was. It is emotional at times. And the way it ends will stay with you for a while. Helena Bonham Carter makes an impression as his assertive German born mother. It's in the 1980's section this really shines though. Anthony Hopkins is as amazing as you would expect. Period details are spot on. And it's very interesting to watch how the story all came out. Which confronts the theme that I mentioned. It does get very emotional. A judicious score really helps with this. I think sometimes emotion can hit harder without incidental music. It finds the right way to end also.
