Sir Anthony Hopkins takes a shot at Hollywood

Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sofia Milos

 

 

There has been a recent little trend among certain celebrities that is refreshing to see; from there endless political drivel to their self-importance plus the Hollywood fixation on sex, violence and chase scenes.

a

Anthony, ah, Sir Anthony Hopkins has joined the fray lately as he castigated the Hollywood film scene as “condescending” to the public. 

a

He said this:

a

"Audiences aren't so mindless as movie-makers think, I'm also tired of the camera moving all over the place, with car chases so cut and edited you don't know what's happening.” 

a

"It's condescending."

a

The star's latest film, The World's Fastest Indian, is a true story about a New Zealander motorcyclist who broke the land speed record.

a

Sir Anthony said of the movie, "No sex or violence, and that's refreshing." 

a

He is making a call for making movies where it is photographed and the actors tell the story the “old-fashioned way.”

a

Hopkins , 68, also said that he would no longer put up with the “tyrannical” directors any longer, the added that he really doesn’t take acting seriously any longer but considers it more of an enjoyable hobby. 

a

This is an interesting new way of behaving for Hopkins who has freely admitted that in the past he has behaved rather poorly himself. 

a

IC Wales reports that late last year he admitted, "When I was young and arrogant and pugnacious, like a lot of young actors are, I wanted to do it all myself, and in those days I thought, 'Who needs directors?' It took me some years to mellow out and gather a respect for directors."

a 

Sometimes it is hard to know if someone in the showbiz community is for real or doing the bidding of their agent. If this is real by Hopkins , it is refreshing to see someone take film stars down a notch, and to realize that they really aren’t as important as they think.
