>The Edge is a 1997 American epic survival thriller film written by David Mamet and directed by Lee Tamahori starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. The plot follows wealthy businessman Charles Morse (Hopkins), photographer Bob Green (Baldwin), and assistant Stephen (Harold Perrineau), who must trek through the elements and try to survive after their plane crashes down in the Alaskan wilderness; all while being hunted by a large Kodiak bear and the men's fraying friendships.
Charles...Charles...CHARLES CHARLIE BOY...CHAMPAGNE FOR CHARLES.
Play the drinking game where you take a swig of beer everytime charles is said in this movie and you will be drunk 20 minutes in. Dont take shots or you will be dead by the time the credits roll. and yeah this is one of Hopkins best. And Alec being a loathsome douchebag in real life somehow shines in the role as a loathsome douchebag
And I wish you weren't a deranged /misc/tard, but we can't always get what we want. I take some small solace from the fact that your life is completely miserable.
While a great movie, I didn't understand Hopkins character.
He felt like he didn't belong into the entire setting - the company, billions, young wife, the friends he had, it felt as if he had those or participated in all of it out of some kind of obligation that wasn't clear.
His skills also didn't mesh with his lifestyle.
I also consider him to be the character straight up from the Meet Joe Black.
whats that movie where he plays a mathematician and it turns out he has like dementia or something and the big reveal is that all of his math work was just bullshit or what ever?
There is one that actually has Anthony Hopkins called Proof. I don't know if it's a ripoff of A Beautiful Mind or what because I haven't seen either of them.
His math isn't bullsht, he thinks he has a secret spy job because he's schizo but his math contributions are legit. Otherwise they wouldnt have made a movie about him because he'd just be some random homosexual and not le genius but tortured crazy math man
The Remains of the Day is absolutely fantastic, one of my top 20 movies I think
The Bounty, another excellent movie
The Edge, great
Howard's End, I wasn't a huge fan of this one, it was just ok to me but still worth watching
84 Charing Cross Road, this one is kind of campy but a nice time capsule of a movie and definitely worth watching

That is two times in two days I have seen someone say Brad Pitt is a bad actor and I have had it up to here with this slander. >Slander is spoken. In print it's libel.

he's pretty when he's the regular guy, or confident death. Then the woman enters the frame and the eternal being of divine nature starts jizzing his pants and not knowing how to eat.

>Remains of the Day
why do people like this movie? I watched the whole thing, but found it very boring. I like historical dramas, interesting to have the 3rd Reich twist to it, and I appreciate how old English homes of wealth were maintained by staff. But I didn't see it as a great movie.
What did I miss?
My favorite Hopkins movie is Nixon.
Several reasons, beyond it being well filmed with an a-list cast.
It's boring, yes; but most of England was at the time; especially with everyone hiding their feelings and being locked into their social classes and their performative requirements.
The movie, at its heart, is Stevens/hopkins wondering if he threw his life away. In his profession, the quality of a career is measured largely by the quality of your employer. In the case of Stevens, his greatest moment of profession triumph was marred by it being the biggest blunder of his employee's life.
Meanwhile, in support of what he sees as his duty, he doesn't go for the woman he loves (who loves him back), he forgoes morning his dead father upstairs for serving at the big conference; and even in his retirement, he can't even claim the success of his career because his old boss's name is still poison.
>and Stevens is a metaphor for England's prewar capitulation.
I'm not sure about that. If you're going in that direction, I would argue he represents: > the average man who gives his best effort; based on the belief that his leaders are intelligent; and will make the correct decisions.
The book goes into it more; but again, a lot of it is how the ranking of the servants is based on the ranking of the house. So, Stevens had high rank being the butler of a great house; at least until Lord Darlington pissed it away.
I don't know how you get so many seasons in and then cancel the show instead of finishing it. It was one season away from being finished and they just say "Nah frick you." Regardless of the show's quality I would never trust a network again if they were willing to cancel a show that had made it that close to the end. Imagine the blue balls for the people who had been keeping up with it for so long.

I rewatch hannibal more than silence of the lambs. Dunno why that got shit on when it came out. Love the atmosphere and aesthetic. Nice to see Hannibal free and traveling about
Has to be his grand-guignol performances in "Silence of the Lambs" and then "Titus". Titus is difficult to describe. You just have to watch it. I get the feeling Hopkins had fun making Titus.
Anthony Hopkins feels like the kind of actor that gets undue credit. He is well known but when the time comes to name films he's been in you only think of Silence of the Lambs and The Elephant Man where he played a supporting role.
Is Elephant Man a good starting point for Lynch, I want to get into his movies and that's one of the ones available to me at the moment. It's either that or Dune.
I don't know about Dune and IIRC Lynch himself doesn't care for Dune. The Elephant Man is great but it's very different to his other movies. Without spoiling anything it definitely isn't surrealist as his other films but it's still considered as one of his best. So I'd say you can definitely go with it as your first Lynch film.

Hopkins is an exceedingly kino actor and elevates everything he stars in
Sure, a lot would say his Lecter movies.
However, Remains of the Day is peak autism-kino. >Literally me - Except that I NEET and a 30s Emma Thompson isn't interested in me
Howards End is vaguely similar, but not as satisfying; even though those two get together.
Shadowlands is pretty good grief-kino. A lifelong incel finds love and it all goes to hell.
84 Charing Cross Road is tragic penpal-kino, but mid-50s Anne Bancroft playing a young woman is distracting.
Hopkins is certainly /OurGuy/ for aspies, loners and incels. I'd like to know more films where decades-long incels/aspies finally find a woman.
Isn't Shadowlands about C.S. Lewis? I read the Narnia books for the first time as an adult and found them pretty great for the most part, except for The Silver Chair which was an annoying slog. The final book also had perhaps the most psychotic ending I have ever seen for a children's novel and seems like a good way to scar someone for life.
I wonder if it will ever get an adaptation. None of the adaptations of Narnia have ever made it to The Last Battle, but I've always wondered if they ever do, will they make some drastic changes to how it ended, because it is not a way anyone should end a story. But the thing is you have to adapt six other books before you can get to it, and very few franchises have the staying power to last that long before the money dries up.
he's literally me
You just know.

I didn't know David Mamet wrote that. Now I know why it was so good.

The Edge is now worthless.
I wish my world view wasn't perverted by the israelites.
And I wish you weren't a deranged /misc/tard, but we can't always get what we want. I take some small solace from the fact that your life is completely miserable.
Maybe try to take a shower and Have Sex, it will get better.
>WHAT ONE MAN CAN DO, ANOTHER CAN DO
>This doesn't *feel* like blanks, Charles.
Is that an actual line from the movie? If so, we live in a simulation.
While a great movie, I didn't understand Hopkins character.

The most devastating film ever made.

There is one that actually has Anthony Hopkins called Proof. I don't know if it's a ripoff of A Beautiful Mind or what because I haven't seen either of them.
nah i just looked it up it was this hunk of shit
To think this was directed by famous football coach John Madden. I'm not sure why he decided to dabble in filmmaking.
heh. Cinemaphile crossover
His math isn't bullsht, he thinks he has a secret spy job because he's schizo but his math contributions are legit. Otherwise they wouldnt have made a movie about him because he'd just be some random homosexual and not le genius but tortured crazy math man

For me it's Meet Joe Black. Pitt actually manages to hold his own against him. And Claire Forlani in that movie might be the prettiest an actress has ever looked
why does pitt have a Black person facial aesthetic in this still?
Yeah, Forlani was a gorgeous piece of ass in that one.
>Pitt holds his own against Hopkins
Havent seen it in a while but have to disagree with you, Hopkins is god tier, and Pitt is cringe acting
Agree with you on Claire Forlani though, she looks great, she has that natural timeless enduring beauty
That is two times in two days I have seen someone say Brad Pitt is a bad actor and I have had it up to here with this slander.

Did you have to say the name of the movie four times?
> why do people like this movie?

You left out WW2. That's the dramatic engine that powers the story and Stevens is a metaphor for England's prewar capitulation.
>and Stevens is a metaphor for England's prewar capitulation.

You know a Anglo-Japanese wrote the book so all the tired cliches about WW2 may not apply

The show quickly turned into a shit-show, but Tony Hopkins was kino in it:

For me, he’ll always be Hannibal Lecter
Followed closely by “frick you, Ford”

Yes. He was a childless bachelor until mid-life.
For the sheer skill of it. The script, the line reads, the length, the monologues
