- Anthony is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne, encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can’t make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is unravelling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her? THE FATHER warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant - a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.

Sir Anthony Hopkins wining oscar again at the age of 83. What a legend. Its not acting its an art for him.🎩
@Guillermo Pablo is "the Father " On this too?
83 but he gave one damn fantastic performance, the best of his career since Silence Of The Lambs
@@Bjork4s I don’t know i think almost all of his performances are masterpieces. There are so many others also.
@@jimmybelc2057 well he has been in bad movies like Transformers The Last Knight but his performance, himself never disappoints. One of the greatest actors of his generation
@@Bjork4s The World's Fastest Indian is another masterpiece from him, Fracture is another
That hits close to home. I looked after my mother and father when they declined with dementia. My mother was an angelic but forgetful saint, my father was paranoid and hostile. He had always had control in his life and saw every bit of it slipping away. As hard as it was to cope with him, it made me a better person. For the first time in my life, I had to love another person unconditionally, with no emotional reward.
I love this. Sorry you lost your parents. You sound like a wonderful person.
Me, too. The most difficult, most disheartening, most painful, yet somehow rewarding job one can undertake...
My mother in law went through this before she passed. This trailer brought tears to my eyes. For good or ill, she was living with her boyfriend, who also had dementia but a bit less so. Sorry for your loss hugs and love
I am starting this journey and sometimes I want to close my eyes to it. Thank you for helping me see there is a path and it take courage to embrace.
Taking care of my Mom was one of the hardest things I have done. I felt guilty that it was so hard and that I didn't have joy in my heart all the time. I finally realized that doing it without joy in my heart was the achievement (like you are saying, with no emotional reward).
*As a person who's been around (too) many people with dementia, I am shocked by Sir Anthony Hopkins' performance: it is spot on, and by far the best depiction of dementia I've seen on camera. He really deserves his Oscar.*
Well believe it or not, there are people who are telling him how to act.
@@bobby7844 Telling an actor how to act and the actor performing it brilliantly are two different things.
@@addyadenawo5442 That's right. But we already established Anthony Hopkins could act, so your attempt at gaslighting away from my valid point isn't going to work.
People are stunned at Hopkins' ability to depict dementia. That doesn't mean they were stunned at his ability to follow an order. It means exactly what it sounds like.
@@bobby7844 'Gaslighting' does not mean what you think it means.
@@bloodymalkavian lol this Bobby guy is nuts.... what is his problem even? gaslighting? wtf, and he seems to think actors are robots and don't deserve praise when they perform well. I would guess Hopkins studied hard for the role and very likely has dementia close to home because his performance was so good the realism made me forget it was acting and it brought me to tears.
People talk about horror movie being scary. This scares me more than anything
the moment i end up like this i am just killing my self no way i will like this
It is frightening because this movie accurately depicts living with dementia for both the person with dementia and the caregiver.
@@cagdasa.798 You won't know.
@@lovinPoulsbo You may know. Robin Williams knew and he committed suicide
Yeah, that is truly a fact which brings some fear.
20 years working with dementia patients and I'll never get used to this disease it's absolutely devastating to see.
Has Joe Biden dementia too? Did you see symptoms that you saw before?
@@mrrandom1265 not, to mention Fmr President Trump, has early signs too, like Biden. 😳
:( yes it is...rip grandmaw blosser
@@mrrandom1265 how ridiculous.
This film is less of a story and more of an experience that attempts to put the viewer in the place of someone suffering from dementia. I know a lot of people don't like how it's often difficult to understand what's happening in the movie, but I personally loved that because not knowing reality from mental fabrications made me truly feel like I myself had dementia while watching the film. Also, it makes you sympathize with old people, which all too often doesn't happen in our society. This movie is a masterpiece. That's really all I can say about it.
Absolutely. People don’t like how it’s difficult to understand? That’s the whole point.
You just literally described everything i felt watching this movie, thank you so much. it is really not a story it's an experience i lived watching it. i felt all kinds of emotions the father felt, i felt weak, sad, anxious, frightened...etc and it was like i had dementia myself.
I hate it not because it is difficult to understand but it's too sad.
Para Bina Life is sad. That’s how it is.
I hated this movie because it glorifies abandoning parents
The Oscar goes to Anthony Hopkins I want him so much to win
I think both Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman will be winners. Best Actor & Best Supporting Actress
@@pharaohramon5906, Glenn Close is predicted to win next year. It would be so ironic if she loses to Olivia Colman again.
It's the least he deserves
Lance Henriksen is giving him equal competition in The Falling with Viggo Morgensen.
I think it’s going to between Hopkins and delroy lindo
I did just watch it. That last scene with the nurse is a masterpiece. Still feeling tears coming out.
I cried.
i cried myself, that last scene was so poignant.
Please indicate me where can I see the full film?
I think if you like this movie it says alot about your character, absolutely boring.
@@edwardmolloy708 I hope you never have someone in your family suffering from that sort of illness. If you're not moved by it it says alot of YOUR character.
Anthony Hopkins is king, one of the greatest actors of all time.
King of what....? Precisely King of Nine Realms..!!
This is the first time ive cried in a movie theatre, this is the most heartfelt movie i have ever,ever,ever,EVER watched! and I cannot believe all the trailers of this movie has less than 1M views. This is truly a masterpiece!
I agree 💯.
This is not a story, this is an experience that i just lived watching this masterpiece. i got frightened and scared, weak and afraid, and in the end, very sad. i can't describe how this movie was hits different than any other.
This is probably the most beautifully executed movie I have ever seen. No exposition or out-of-place dialogue was used nor needed; you can really feel this movie.
But what about the avengers
Send them their Oscars already.
Of course they will, they're white.
@@titusmccarthy no but because they're f*cking great actors regardless of their skin color.
@@dwalker1974 exactly
not black enough for that anymore
My dad works for the Oscars, I'm sure he'll vote for Hopkins
Both my parents developed dementia in their late eighties, it is truly devastating to have to completely change the way you talk to them, understand that they are not the same parents that you,ve known all your life, relate to only the things they understand, and avoid discussing things they,ve completely forgotten, eg their house being sold, their beloved cat no longer alive. It’s heartbreaking 😢
God, I completely relate to your pain! My grandma was diagnosed with alzheimer and I used to feel so sad whenever she asked me when Cici was about to come home and I had to tell her that she was at school but she'd comeback as soon as possible... I was Cici, btw! It's so bitter to think that my grandma could remind me and still love me as long as she was unable to associate me with the image of me she had in her mind... I kept wondering and worrying that she could somehow have felt abandoned for me even though I stayed by her side. As you said, a heartbreaking experience.
Suzanne Lusher that's why people created guns so you can take people with degenerative diseases out back and shoot them.
@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 ayo wtf
Yep, it is amazing how quickly you adapt to it though.
The fact that Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman are in the same film makes this a must see.
Pretty much, yeah. Two phenomenal talents.
@@JohnDoe-dj3lw Absolutely. Olivia Colman gives one of the greatest performances of all time in Tyrannosaur
@@Charliem1994 Yeah i love Hopkins in this movie but i feel like Olivia didn't get enough credit for her role here, all the spotlight seemed to got to Hopkins while Olivia was also great as Anthony's daughter
@@Bjork4s Really? I've heard nothing but praise being directed at both of the actors. Either way I'm super hyped
@@Bjork4s didn't she also get nominated for a shit ton of awards?
This reminds me of my mother who took care of my grandparents (her parents) when they both fell into dementia. I'd seen the unconditional love my mother gave to them and she even had to sacrifice her career, and you couldn't hear a single complaint from her. But despite that, she still managed to be a mother to us and helped put food on the table. Dementia is no joke. I would always see my mother cry at night as she knew her parents would never be the same again. Love your parents people!
Alvin Albaciete should have given me a call. Me and Dr. Kevorkian are willing to take the hard actions needed. A family should never drown beneath the ill health of a loved one that will never improve. They lived their lives, there is no reason the rest of you shouldn't have got to live yours. Guess I need to pick up where the good Dr. left off and help families move on from a lost cause so they can live life to the fullest.
@@tinyrockyplanet8953 Yeah just rip the bandaid off the wound and drop a rock on their head. Often people are under the delusion that people will get better and some will. Some cavemen have been shown to care for those that could not care for themselves by chewing up their food and feeding it to them and dragging them on stretchers. Some elderly have useful knowledge, this is true. But when there is no more hope of them improving and they have nothing more to teach the next generation then they are no longer useful. Have to remove the emotions from the act and kill them for the good of the tribe. it is best in life to do so. Altruism is bullshit. We help others in hopes of cultivating a society that will help us in our time of need. Wasting a family fortune and the lives of the young to care for diseased members of the family are truly wasted lives and wasted resources. Call me up and I'll put a bullet in their heads. I will do what must be done. Often a man like me is the one that has to take old yeller out back and shoot him. Animals know that when their owners get to old and weak to lead the tribe they send them off with a warriors death. I love wolf hounds for this fact. They are known to turn on their masters when their masters are too old and weak to lead the pack. It's not evil to kill the weak and diseased. It's a mercy killing. We should all be so blessed to have a warriors death.
Your mother would have no regrets in life! What a brilliant lady!♥️♥️ kudos to her
Did you watch an old man struggling with dementia? I watched an actor winning an Oscar. Respect!
God bless those who care for their elderly parents until the end!
This movie is excellent. Very cleverly done. At first we thought we were seeing flashbacks, but then realized we were experiencing what the father with dementia was experiencing. We were as confused as he was. It was an eye-opener. Dementia is about more than just getting forgetful. Anthony Hopkins deserved the Academy Award. Wow. What a performance. But warning. It's heartbreakingly sad. I now know. I have to do something to help my father.
This touched me on so many levels. Not only Sir. Anthony Hopkins is of the same age as my own father, but I had to slowly and sometimes painfully learn how my father looses grasp with the reality, while slowly decaying into dementia. Also touching is that actor, Hopkins used his own true date of birth.
Sir Anthony Hopkins might win his second Oscar for his performance in this movie!!! Fingers crossed!!!
He did it 😂
Correct score 🤭
I have something to tell u pals
It’s y’all in here talking about awards for incredible performances, while I’m having an anxiety attack about this being my future with my father, for me.
It's going to be alright. It may not be perfect but you will both be fine.
@@blaq4427 Thank you. ❤️
I will pray that it will be alright for you and your father
@@athyrmose ❤
Watch Away From Her
One of the greatest movies of all time
Masterpiece of Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman
I cried when I finished watching the movie. It made me realize how utterly fragile everything is, especially humans and the human brain/mind. You could have the most sharp and brilliant mind. But if it falters, you're even more helpless than a baby.
My Father is going through this right now.Its a horrific Disease.
The movie it 's a masterpiece . I never felt so sad , empty , confused and hopeless, it's a movie that emerges the souls in total doubt and thy mind.
It feels like my whole present it's merged with the past that is the illusion of the future . The whole movie , scene , music , actors , story , colors all blends perfect , tooo perfect . This is indeed my number one movie of all time.
The actor Anthony Hopkins in this role it's the perfect combination, not only that it make's me sad to know him getting old but it make's me happy to see him.
This movie it's a reminder for all of us to understand our parents and to be there for them even if they lost the way back home, we need to understand that even if the reality it's different than ours, a bit of compassion and empathy it's the perfect remedy.
Perfect masterpiece
Just watched the film, and Sir Anthony Hopkins's performance--if it can even be called that, because he truly seemed to transcend "performing"--was so astonishing. It was subtly and naturally sublime, from his quiet gestures to his facial expressions to the mannerisms to the sadness and confusion that seem to be embedded in his eyes. I thought I've seen great performances, but THIS was probably the best (again, it feels wrong to even categorize what he accomplished as "acting") I've ever witnessed.
Always detest the idea of someone looking after your older parents other than your children. No one can give them the care they deserve other than the blood relatives. This movie made me cry so hard man, seriously it did.
Do you have experience with this? It´s extremely exhausting. I looked after my bedridden Dad with dementia for 3 years and I don´t think I could have managed for much longer. It´s been 6 months now and I still feel so damn tired. I quit my job, asked for government support to look after him, it was morning till evening every day for 3 years. He was anxious so he wanted somebody to be with him all the time. When he was in hospital I had a few days "off" to look after my own stuff and recharge. In those 3 years about 3 weeks altogether. You still need to visit him in hospital, though. As much as possible. Because he doesn´t eat much there. And is scared and you don´t want to leave him there. Your body is so exhausted that you can´t even sleep well...
It's hard to put into words how extraordinary this film is and how remarkable Anthony Hopkins is in it. It's a work of genius that is almost operatic from humor, to drama, to pain, to horror and finally to tears. That last scene alone I was watching with my Mom and literally gasping and sobbing the whole time and it lingered with me for several days afterwards. I'm so happy that the Academy actually got this right and gave Hopkins a much overdue 2nd Oscar.
Without question: This is one of the greatest acting performances I've ever had the privilege of seeing on screen.
The Nicene Creed says,
“God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father.”
Let’s make it clear.
The direct and literal meaning of “God from God” is: God proceeds from God.
That is, God created Himself, because He proceeds from God.
He proceeds from God, but is God too.
Doesn’t it mean that God is from God?
That is, God created Himself, which is definitely a wrong interpretation.
There must be a profound meaning in this verse, rather than just what it says.
What it really means is:
At a certain point many lifetimes ago, the Christ was begotten of the Father - that is, “God from God”.
Through practice in many lifetimes, He has eradicated all sins and sinful nature, fully restored divinity and spirituality, and become one with God. So He is God.
--Light of Wisdom Church《The Trinity ｜God from God, Light from Light｜Reincarnation | I Am the way, the truth and the life 08》
My father is in the late stage of dementia caused by Lewy bodies, he suffers symptoms from both Parkinson and Alzheimer's...it's so sad to see the one you love go this way. Everyday he dies a little, everyday he forgets about something. It'll reach a point that his body is alive but he's no longer there. He passed away while his body is still alive. It's painful...
Hope Sir Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman win the oscars, saw the movie last night and it was so realistic, so true...
Really sorry to hear of your situation, my dad had the same - he died a few years ago. I can relate to how you feel, it's terrible. Hopkins was magnificent, and I cried for the first time during a movie. He surely will win the Oscar for this.
@@passy99 Thank you. We are living one day at a time.
Just watched this with my mum, a heart wrenching story everyone needs to see.
You go out there right now and hug your parents, just do it.
Or grand parents if you can
Who's here after watching Chris Stuckmann's top movies of 2020
Me , I m planning to watch this one.
Me!
me! where can you watch this movie?
me but i can't watch this movie now and i am furious
Let's just wait til it's available on one of the streaming services.
What a towering performance by Hopkins. He earned every bit of that Oscar.
I loved this movie. I believe that if you know someone going through this, you should watch it.
Just like many who may have shared this experience in real life, this movie (and the ending scene, particularly) left me emotionally devastated. I'm not even sure if watching this movie was a cathartic experience, or just a reliving of the emotional trauma me and my mother went through while taking care of our beloved grandmother.
I truly wish this movie would have come out back in 2017, when things were at their worst for us, so that I could have better sympathized with her state. We went through everything the movie has shown, and Hopkins' portrayal of the disease is uncanny. He deserves recognition for it.
But nominations and acting aside, I hope this opens up more dialogue involving dementia to the public, because it is as terrible as it seems, and everyone going through this can use as much sympathy and help as they can.
My mother did exactly the same thing. The family would hire a caregiver and my mother would end up screaming and yelling at this person end up firing them. She wanted to stay in her apartment did not want to go anywhere else. Stayed in the apartment watching television 24/7. Started to accuse everybody of stealing things as she would misplace. Anthony Hopkins did an amazing job representing this nightmare illness.
My mother 93 years old passed away just a few months ago. I'm in her place now and watched this film last night.
Very real and very depressing.
I had the same experience. Mum commited suicide and left dad on his own with worsening Alzheimer's/dementia. So I put my life on hold for 18mths and moved in to care for him 24/7. It was a fucken nightmare, but that SHOULD be The Contract behind parent child r'ship. They look after you from birth, you nurse them through the worst time of their life
I was NOT going to put him in a Home. Fuck that.
And the upside was I got to know a gentle, Sweet man way better....
But that stuff AIN'T for the faint hearted

HERE I AM
@@TheProtagonist2020 Why??? Have you seen The Father?? Chadwick was great, but Hopkins is way superior than him. He deserved it anyways. That's just a ridiculous question

HE HAD ME IN TEARS ! Wait until he starts crying out for his "Mommy" ! It's gut wrenching. He's BRILLIANT ! (as usual). A must see for anyone with elderly parents.
Lol this movie glorified abandoning parents leaving them to the mercy of hospitals, when in fact they are in their final years and need our love and care.
@@parikhan6599 How does this glorify anything? This is just a heartwrenching movie going through a very relatable and real experience. If anything, seeing anthony's confusion and breakdowns from the whole ordeal would make any sane person relate, love and appriciate people with dementia more. Just sad that's what you took away from this film. Must be extremely depressing being so pessimistic.
@@jonathan13co The person you’re reacting on just has no clue what’s she’s talking about. Better watch movies like spongebob instead of these quality movies
@@parikhan6599 if anything it actually discourages leaving them in hospitals. this movie depicted how important the feeling of safety and belonging is for people with dementia. at the end when Anne was gone he was so lost and hurt and felt so so alone. this movie actually shows the importance of looking after people with dementia.
Spoilers!! WTF?!?!
Can anyone hand them the Oscar already!!!!!!!!! My God, Olivia and Anthony, humongously talented
Just finished watching this -- What a masterpiece!. Very touching movie, I cried a lot. 10/10
The best movie about dementia ever. No words needed that Hopkins is an insanely good actor. Genius. My grandma's dementia is getting worse day by day. She's like a mother to me and it breaks my soul seeing her like that.
Bravo. This movie is a gem.
How she is now ??
This hits close to home. My father started acting this way when he was in his late 70s. Difficult times.
Same with my grandmother - my family was devastated
My grandfather, also, started acting like this in his early 80s and died 3 months from his 90th birthday from complications of Lewy body disease and dementia, which is what he was diagnosed with. He was stuck in the past, as he would call me by my mother's name and it was alright as I thought it was him believing or at least acknowledging who I belonged to. It is hard on any family that goes through this!!
sorry to hear that, I honestly feel bad for people who has dementia. the idea that a illness where makes you lose yourself and don't remember anything anymore is far worst than death. I hope you can spend time with your father as much you can.
My father has dementia. This movie hits pretty hard. He remembers mum, but everyone else is just 'mate'. So sad.
@@JayJayisOK I have been married to my husband for fifty-five years. He does not know who I am.

Man, the Best Actor race is gonna be tough. But without a doubt, Anthony Hopkins will get nominated.

Sir Hopkins is deservedly coming for his second Oscar.
It’s gonna be between Hopkins and Chadwick boseman. I’m honestly rooting for Hopkins
Lakeith stenfield as well!
@@Michaelm8508 we all know its going to be a sympathy win though
Aging is one of the harshest truths of life. Everyone want to live long, No one wants to age.
The moment he opens the supposed door to the sleeping room, ending up seeing the storage room was an absolute stunning depiction of the inner workings of the disease.
he thought he was in a hospital, and then he heard his daughter Lucy call out for him, he followed the hall, and eventually came to her room, when he saw her, he woke up, he was home with his daughter Anne; but he wasn't sure, so he went to open the double doors, and saw it was a closet instead of a hospital.
The performance of a true master, Sir Anthony Hopkins deserves the Oscar for this movie. The words sad, tragic and terrifying come to mind when watching this film.
I just watched this most brilliant performance by my favorite actor of ALL time Sir Anthony Hopkins! I have literally seen all his movies yall and this role he plays is most definitely his greatest accomplishment ever!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 and a MUCH deserved Oscar as well!! Love this man, I wish him many more
years of his acting in movies and pray for good health always..
I have watched this movie three times now, because of the tremendous performance by Anthony Hopkins and the supporting cast, it rings so true and believable, I went through this personally with my mother after she turned 88 years old, and she got progressively worse until she passed away at 91 years old.
It was an ordeal to go through, my sister wanted to put her in a nursing home, and I resisted and tried to look after her together with some part-time home care, but it became too difficult and stressful as I was still working full time as well.
The day I gave in and agreed to put her in the nursing home, was one of the worst days of my life, my mother was crying as she didn't want to leave her home of over 45 years, and my wife and I had to carry her to the car to drive her there, that day still haunts me and brings tears to my eyes when I think about it.
My wife and I both agree that we don't want to go in a nursing home ever, but as I have never had children of my own, I don't expect much support in my old age, so who knows I may have no choice in the end, I just hope that I can avoid dementia and hopefully pass away in my sleep. Nobody knows what life has in store for them and maybe that is a good thing!
Just watched the movie. Hopkins deserved the oscar. It's maybe the most honest, heartbreaking story I've ever seen.
Saw this at Sundance and yes... this is every bit amazing and powerful as the trailer makes it look. Man what a great film. Legit fighting back tears while I watched it.
A brilliant movie capturing the experience of a devastating disease. The trailer doesn't do justice in capturing the experience and emotions of the movie. Anthony Hopkins was masterful in interpreting the horrendous experience through the eyes of the inflicting. Olivia Coleman captured the complexities of a loyal supportive daughter.
I watched this movie several months before my mom condition starts getting much worse and the doctor diagnose her with dementia/Alzheimer's. Great movie, pretty much the same with what I'm going through right now. Still can't believe though that I will deal with my mother having this condition one day in my life.
My grandmother had dementia and grandfather had Alzheimer's, it's such a hard thing to deal with. RIP bobble RIP grams I love you both
If we live long enough we will.get one of those..
They are in Heaven now! Rest In Peace.
My father had dementia and Alzheimer , he died 2 years ago. It was a fight for us too. And is verry painfull to see somebody like this.
The film world will not be the same without mr. Hopkins. He is amazing.
Simply the best. He is my favourite actor..
All the best to you Sir Anthony. You did well.
This movie made one physically feel how this illness fucks up your mind. The horror is neverending. And Olivia Colman channels all the tenderness, desperation and love of the one wanting to help. Full stars.
Just watched this piece of art Yesterday.. And in my opinion this is one of the Best performance of Mr. Hopkins, you would have never seen him like this before, delivering such an incredible performance.
If want so much for him to win an Oscar.
Finally saw this brilliant masterpiece. It took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. Sir Anthony gave a performance like no other. The viewer was seeing things thru his eyes, a concept I have never seen before, and it worked. The actors were magnificent, which can only explain the man who wrote and directed the film and wanted only Hopkins for the role.
The man is a legend. Period. He is unparalleled.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.

This film is, without doubt, the best I've ever seen about dementia and what it does to the people you love. There is no sentimentality in 'The Father,' the man in question can be difficult and infuriating as well as kind and loving, but that's the nature of the disease, and it makes the film even more heart wrenching. My mother died of Alzheimer's 5 years ago and watching 'The Father' brought back all the despair and confusion and grief of that time. At one point I had to go outside and have a cry because it was so real. I can't emphasise enough how brilliant Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman are in this film of 'The Father.' (It was originally a stage play) As you can tell from my reaction to the film, it is hard to watch, especially if you have gone through the same situation, but it's so well done, I thoroughly recommend seeing it. Love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia.❤
This is a true story somewhere in the world, once a man, twice a child. We have to accept this, if it happens to you, happended to my grandfather after 78yrs of living
ROMAIN WHITE most of my heroes knew when it was time to go. They had real balls to not let a degenerative disease take their minds. Once they could no longer do their chosen vocation they ended their own lives. We should all be so brave and honorable as to not become a burden on our family members or anybody else. Hemingway, Gellhorn, Robin Williams, ...maybe Hunter S. Thompson. They all took the end of their lives into their own hands. I will follow suit when the time is right.
@@tinyrockyplanet8953 That's not true at all. Love is of little value. Plenty of creatures live on this planet without love. Love is simply a chemical formula that mammals use to stick around each other long enough to raise their young. Don't delude yourself into thinking Love has anything to do with the workings of the entire universe. Connectivity of molecules has nothing to do with love and everything to do with stability and an unstable molecular bond simply breaks apart. The necessity of life is to perpetuate life and when you are no longer a valuable asset to the community in which you exist and your body and mind become impaired or ends up in a degenerative state from which there is no return then it's time to end it all so that your molecules can be better used within the bodies of healthy beings and inanimate objects.
@@tinyrockyplanet8953 Heroic.... psh! Ending ones life is out of necessity of keeping the herd healthy and strong. Weak should not be allowed to breed. And those that have nothing to contribute to society anymore should be sacrificed to the natural world and recycled. Recycling is good. There is nothing wrong with death even if it is by your own hand taking your own life.
@@tinyrockyplanet8953 7.8 billion people on this planet. that's at least 7 billion too many. Time to weed out the sick, diseased, and stop providing healthcare to children. More children should die before reaching adulthood. It's the only way to sustain balance with the natural world. The lives of all earthlings matter, not just people. Modern living is unethical on every level from farming, to domestication of animals(slavery), nobody should be a master or a slave in a free world. Living free is the only ethical way to live. In the wild when you are no longer able to sustain ones self then it is time to crawl away to die or be thrown into the fire or into the sea to feed the natural world. So goes the circle of life.
the father hits so close to home for so many people. my grandma just passed away after suffering from dementia for the last few years. watching someone you love go through that is truly one of the most heartbreaking things
Anthony Hopkins is going to win his second Oscar for The Father, it's unimaginable to not see him one for The Father and besides, no male performers can top his performance on this one this year, that's for sure.
Delroy Lindo for Da 5 Bloods?
@@juanmanuelpousada7179 he's being campaigned as the lead and yes, Delroy and Gary Oldman are Anthony Hopkins biggest competitors but having seen The Father, Hopkins is on top.
@Juani DC having seen The Father, I was blown away by his performance, he's only competitors are Delroy Lindo and Gary Oldman, obviously, Gary Oldman just won and maybe the Academy won't give it to him for a second Oscar, I don't see anyone topping Hopkins performance in The Father, the first time I saw it, I knew it's going to be his second Oscar. And it would be very much deserving indeed. it's a performance of a lifetime. You have to see it first.
@Juani DC we'll see then, but for now, my money's on Hopkins.
Hopkins may have to “drug” Oldman again to secure the award - not to reference such a poor movie but 😂
My grandmother passed a month ago. She had dementia and me and my family took care of her for years. I went to her funeral today.
❤
So she passed away a month ago and the funeral was today?
very sorry 😞
@@englishwithsliyce1712 I think he meant to the cemetery.
I love the way this movie is filmed. They literally make you feel walking in the old man’s shoes and feel what he feels this disease is so scary I never realized it could be so bad! Wish there was a cure because decaying brain is worse than decaying flesh.
Anthony Hopkins's acting in this is beyond superb,
I really related to his predicament. My mother went
through dementia before she died so it was also
close to home.
Saw this twice in theaters (yes, during a pandemic) and let just me say, this movie is THE masterpiece of the year regardless of whether or not it wins Best Picture at the Oscars on Sunday. It also broke my top 30-50 favorites of all time, which I never thought I’d say about a 2020 film, and especially considering that I’ve seen a lot of movies in my life.
I cried fifteen minutes after the end of the movie...It was so well played...I couldn't help thinking of my grand-mother who died with dementia at 99 (not Alzheimer : there are so many illnesses that can destroy your mind...). I don't know if I would advise my mother to watch it...too painful. Hopkins and Coleman (Sewell is good too !) are simply great.
I love them both ... but just can’t imagine watching this ... SO MANY similar experiences/episodes with my Mother over the past couple of years ...it’s the absolutely most heartbreaking disease and experience of my life ... the portrayal is perfection ...
This is what scares me the most about getting old and aging. Life being uncertain frightens me the most
the final scene was incredibly sad, it was the first time in a long time my chest felt kinda heavy. brilliant acting.
I just finished watching this movie it’s such a masterpiece so heartbreaking. I couldn’t stop crying 😭 great actors always have been a fan of Anthony Hopkins
Just finished watching the TIFF premiere online. Both Hopkins and Colman are locks for Oscar nominations this year, with Hopkins having a very strong shot at even winning for Best Actor. They adapted the play and characters for the screen very well and utilized the set in such cinematic ways to help tell the story from the perspective of an old man battling dementia and just struggling to hold onto who he is. I saw Frank Langella perform the role on Broadway (who also won the Tony) many years ago and he was excellent. That final scene in the movie, just WOW! What an acting showcase for Sir Anthony Hopkins. His performance is simply devastating and heartbreaking that he made me tear up a few times . I won't spoil it for folks but do go watch the movie when it's released later this year in December.
I'm already in tears just by watching the trailer.
the director put us right under the Oldman brain and Anthony Hopkins make us believe its us in the movie
A masterclass in directing, pacing, persective and acting while exploring an important topic
This is the kind of film where from beginning until the ending, I am crying and sobbing. Sure of that.
I share the same feeling. My dad went thru this for three years as he advanced quickly into dementia and alzheimer's. I wish I knew about it earlier. My mother and I often got mad with him because we didnt understand😔
He passed away a year ago and I still feel bad for not understanding him.
I saw it and sincerely it was very painful to watch a person losing his identity, his present and days, specially the last scene I cry my eyes out!!😭
when he yelled "mommy", i glanced over to my wife (wich is a nurse), and she nodded witht he words "many people experiance that", i started breaking down, into a pile of human blubber, just thinbking about the fact that i could see my parents like that.......i started crying like a kid that lost his teddybear, ive seen a fare share of movies as a cinephile, but few broke me like this one, my deepest respect to nurses or caretakers. H A T S O F F
The ending is enough to make anyone cry. All through the movie he's adamant that he doesn't need any help and he's not ill and you can see there's still a piece of his strong personality then at the end he's completely crumbled
I can see two nominations
- Best Actor
- Best Actress in a supporting role
I can see their win already, remember my words 🤞
@@pharaohramon5906 supporting actress will be tough Glenn close vs Olivia Colman
I think it’s gonna be nominated for a lot more than that
Well it won one of those plus best adapted screenplay
Best performance of the year! Bow down to Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Hopkins flying low at 82. Oscar for him now, please
I saw my grandpa go through this. It was painful. This movie hits hard. Trully a masterpiece but I cannot watch it again, it hurts a lot.
Wow!!! I cannot even tell you how amazing this movie was! Another reason Sir Anthony Hopkins is one of the best actors alive! It left me a bit shaken. This is one not to miss!!!!
Just watched this and I was in bits crying at the end. I couldn't hold it in. What an incredible performance from everyone but Anthony is just beyond words.
My mom is 81 and has lived alone since my father died 12 years ago and
now she is going thru Dementia and this movie really hit home for me. If
we are lucky, we will live to a nice old age, but, seeing my mom go
through this, makes me so sad. I am not being mean, it
is just "she" can't remember me now and "I" am starting to forget how
vibrant and happy she once was. Prayers up to anyone going through Dementia and
those loved ones having to deal with a person that they love that can't
remember them anymore.
I can completely relate to your situation. I too have a widowed mother who is 85 and has Lewy Bodies Dementia with Parkinson’s. I have been taking care of her since her diagnosis in early 2017, but she must have began her symptoms years earlier. I too watch the movie and it drew me to emotions and tears!
@@saritgulati9676 Prayers up for you my friend!
@@G273Outdoors prayers for God’s abundant Grace and strength for you as well 🙏
I hope I remember how to use the Winchester before that happens...(tho CO is a better option)
I loved this movie and the performance of Olivia and Anthony moved me so much!
My brother recommended this movie. Not knowing much about it I pressed play. Blown the eff away!! Might be one of the best performances I've ever seen. The movie was incredible as well. They way the director REALLY puts u in the shoes of the character. I've seen this movie 3 times in the last 3 days.
Last time I was blown away by a performance was Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards.
The quickness of his reactions and delivery are nothing short of masterful.
One of the very few actors that can combine Art and realism into one.
And to think I held off on this movie bcuz I thought eh. Lol
Man, I just love Sir Anthony Hopkins so much!
Went to watch in a theatre in Antwerp, Belgium last Sunday, because a dear friend of 90 has been diagnosed with dementia. It was the matinee screening at 10 am : only four people were there ( Covid-rules had just eased a bit). After the movie all four people, sitting well apart from each other, remained seated, speechless, for +/- 10-15 minutes... A thump in the stomach! A wake-up call : this will be reality for all of us. I am thankfull I live in Belgium where I can choose when my life will end...
When my father reached his 95th birthday, sharp as a tack, I thought I was home free. Wrong -a few months later, things went wrong . He went from telling me he was a little worried because he was confused, about his medication, to a few weeks later, not knowing who I was, to five months later, dying, because his brain no longer knew how to eat or drink.
I'm sorry that happened to you. The same thing happened with my great grandmother. She was 95 too. It started with confusion and later she wouldn't recognize anyone. It's a hard thing to see your loved one go through it.
At least he was 95. Is very sad when this happens with younger people.
@@TheMrsrousse Thats true
that's unusually fast, what was his diagnosis?
The worst part of this, and anyone who's been through it knows -- the paranoia. And even when you explain it, and they seem to get it, they forget and it starts all over again. It's awful.
A perfect loneliness is when the memory also leaves us.
Hopkins will forever be a legend.
Saw it. Hopkins’ best performance since Silence of the Lambs. This movie is a real mind bender. You have to pay close attention. An unbelievable piece of gorgeous filmmaking. See it right away!!
PERFECT!! ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS ONLY ❤
This trailer actually brought tears to my eyes.
Jesus, wtf is wrong with ppl
i watch this happen to my beloved late grandma, even thought i'm not the one taking care of her seeing her forget me and my mum while we tend to her make me feel i dont want to die by the old age.
A heartbreaking performance by Hopkins. A superb cast, with Coleman's poignant portrayal of a loving daughter a standout. Zeller basically gaslights the viewer by switching colours and objects to create a feeling of unease. Brilliant!
