What Was Hopkins Thinking?
One of the reasons I thought this would be good was because Anthony Hopkins is in it. Oscar winner and stuff, right? Yeah, maybe he's out of money or something...
None of the characters are likable. There's no one who deserves any sympathy. The kids are jerks, the teacher is an idiot, and suddenly, without any setup or backstory, the dad abuses the kids. Which reminds me that the parents are terrible people and incapable of parenting anyway.
The storyline is taking forever. I'm nearly an hour in and I'm not sure why this movie was made or the story was written. It's going nowhere. There is no reason for me to watch the last hour of this. It would be a waste of time.
Anthony Hopkins, what were you thinking? - kodaiborn-63205 - 9 July 2023
What's it about?
The title doesn't relate to the story at all. Typical young boy growing up and having challenges at school. So he wanted to be an artist and what kid actually wanted to be what his father wanted him to be? The depiction of parents all too disengaged with the kid's situation is not very exciting or novel. There might have been a story in this somewhere but it ended abruptly (I guess that the money ran out and the camerman just quit when the film ran out.
While Anthony Hopkins does well playing the grandfather, there's not much in the rest to get excited about. Again, there might have been a story but the movie stopped before the story got going. I have seen much better movies about a youngster growing up. This one doesn't merit the time spent to watch it.
