The Father

Sandy and I watched The Father last night. It’s the story of a man suffering from dimentia. The movie was made to try to convey what the old man (Anthony Hopkins) is actually experiencing, and I think it was done pretty effectively. Sandy and I were both questioning many things throughout the movie, just as the character was in the movie. By the end, when things become just a little clearer, we thought we had it pretty much figured out, as did Anthony Hopkins. We thought it was really well done and very effective. Oddly, they used Anthony Hopkins’ actual name and birth date in the movie, but the actor himself is not actually suffering from this illness. Wow, what a great actor!
