Tribute to the gray hair

I like to watch movies, and I prefer to watch American movies, maybe because of the oppression of strong culture. But I don't watch many movies, and compared to real movie fans, I am only a "fan". I usually follow the wind or stars when I watch movies. I usually watch new movies and movies with actors I like. I love watching movies in recent years and found that I prefer older male stars and young and beautiful actresses.
In the starry sky of Hollywood, the one I finally love is the 67-year-old British actor Anthony Hopkins. Knowing that the name is of course "The Silent Lamb." In fact, I am very resistant to watching horror movies, and I have never watched any famous or classic horror movies (so I am not a fan of the movie). An accidental opportunity to read "The Silent Lambs" I and II "Hannibal (Hannibal) [2001]" again. At that time, in addition to being amazed by Dr. Hannibal's superb killing and escape skills, he also Deeply felt a kind of warmth, that is a simple but sincere, plain but determined emotion. That cold murderous demon had such a close attitude towards the federal police officer, gentle conversation, and even superficial concern. After a few years, I can still remember that in "Silent Lambs" II, Dr. Hannibal appeared in time when the policewoman was in distress, restraining the perverted killer and rescued her that seemed a bit lingering scene. So I cannot associate the word "demon" with Dr. Hannibal, but the name Anthony Hopkins is always in my mind. Later, I watched several of his films, including "Hearts in Atlantis (2001)" and "Titus (1999)" (to be honest, this film is beyond mine. Appreciation level, I didn’t understand what I said, and I’m very distressed so far), "Meet Joe Black (1998)", "Mask of Zorro 1998", "Nixon" , "Bad Company", today I watched another film "Instinct (1999)". I looked for it for a long time. After I bought it, I stayed for a long time. I just finished watching it today.
When Anthony appeared in the camera, he had long gray hair, draped unkemptly on his shoulders. His old face and blue eyes showed fatigue, but his determination remained. His hands and feet were shackled and he was kept in prison. . . The story is about: Ethan Powell (Anthony) has been hiding an unexplained horrible secret in his heart. He is a primate zoologist and has been studying gorillas on the mountain for many years. He lives with gorillas in the wild, and the gorillas also regard him as one of them. The law enforcement officer who followed him arrested him as a suspect in the murder in Rwanda and imprisoned him in a prison full of brutality. He was found to be a criminal with schizophrenia. This highly educated expert who is old in accidents remained silent in prison for several years. Later, he was escorted to CUBA GOODING JR., a psychiatrist, who tried to uncover the dark secret hidden in the heart of the crazy old man. But what he got was a series of unexplainable mysteries, many psychologically unacceptable facts and cold answers to questions. In the end, these two men were led on a special journey of self-discovery...

The film was 8 years old since he won the Golden Man for "The Silent Lamb" in 1991, when he was 62 years old. Years old. Time seemed to be more obvious to this man who was originally a late bloomer. He became increasingly older and more swollen, perhaps because of the requirements of the character. He seemed to falter and move slowly. From the moment he appeared, he was imprisoned, suppressed, and controlled. Repeated beatings, insults, and suppressions made this old man like a lamb to be slaughtered, and made movie viewers extremely troubled. Of course, at the end of the story, Dr. Powell managed to escape from the prison and returned to his beloved African jungle. However, during the whole process, I saw a university professor who was supposed to be dressed in a suit and leather shoes, going in and out of colleges and universities. It's really not a calm thing for a big guy who is twice as big to fight. This old man chose silence in order to cherish that kind of peace and to pay tribute to his dead partner. His speechless resistance, instinctive attack, and keen insight into human nature made people admire the connotation of this role. And Anthony's interpretation of this role is also tepid, just right.
Because I like Anthony, the whole viewing process is very painful, because I clearly saw an old man suffering, but gratifyingly, I can also see a wise old man getting rid of shackles and control in a difficult situation. Enlighten others and sublimate oneself. At the same time, it also reminds me of other silver invention stars who have galloped in Hollywood over the years. Sean Connery is one of the most dazzling, the oldest 007, when he was 66 years old, starred in "The Rock" in the performance is enough to make Nicholas Cage pale; "Air Force One (" Harrison Ford in Air Force One) definitely still has the style of Indiana Jones, who was bravely crowned North America at the time; whether it is "Bodyguard" or "Dancing with Wolves", Kevin Costner's calmness and loneliness did not follow. It disappears with the passage of time, but it becomes more and more charming. There is no need to raise the comments on these people to the "high" of "Shuangxin". These well-known foreign celebrities are not three-dimensional in my opinion. They are stories and characters, but these do not affect me. The liking (although this liking has no effect on them and myself), because both the actor and the character themselves reveal the wisdom, composure, sophistication, profoundness and tolerance of an elder. These are the same as those of the protagonists. The white hair together proves the precipitation of the years and the rich return of life, all of which are grateful and exciting. . .
