There Hopkins is a professor in a small college town, actually filmed in Williamstown, MA, at the time when we lived there. The college itself is a way too liberal in real life for such a situation to occur, as happened in the film.Galina Varesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113049600313050157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-59469776374613469992007-05-09T18:44:00.000-07:002007-05-09T18:44:00.000-07:00yay Mariana!!yay Mariana!!Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649619161091885628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-9701568178441216282007-05-09T18:04:00.000-07:002007-05-09T18:04:00.000-07:00So glad you liked Mariana's review!

I'll let Mariana answer your points, hopefully she'll get a chance. Using the word autistic is questionable, I agree, but I wanted to keep Mariana's post as she wrote it, so hopefully she will address her use of that word!Sebastien Millonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384643621878633512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-90417279314450186662007-05-09T06:42:00.000-07:002007-05-09T06:42:00.000-07:00Not sure I agree with your interpretation. Hopkins...Not sure I agree with your interpretation. Hopkins plays a very English character, reserved and painfully unable to show his emotions to the world. His retort in fact displays his vulnerable side, as he utters these words on hearing about his father's death not because he has no soul, but because he is afraid to expose it.<BR/>And it would have been expected of him not to run to see his father when he died, but continue with his duty.<BR/><BR/>I also strongly object to the use of the word "autistic". Autistic does not mean cold or unemotional.<BR/>Autistic spectrum is very wide, and autistic people can be very kind, loving and affectionate.Galina Varesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113049600313050157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-18878494488366823072007-05-09T06:03:00.000-07:002007-05-09T06:03:00.000-07:00it was a sad and depressing movie..

He's one of those people who can make you feel violently uncomfortable without ever being rude or raising his voice, you know? And there's definitely no explanation for his psychosis, and that mystery is part of what makes him so interesting. Hopkins at his best.
