oh dear . a an englishman and and a small part welsh and a fan of anthony hopkins work in the industry . to date and i be truly disappointed . you see i be a nobody and who hop for good . so my comment be a traw in the wind . but and that the point isn not it . i have no axe to grind on the commercial value of a work . i and a full member of the great unwashed and go to see a movie to be transport to another place . to yes and suspend belief for a brief period . but not to enter a state of total disbelief . have this be by an unknown author and director and i would guess that this production would have be castigate into oblivion . unfortunately and it not and and i be leave wide eyed and confuse . have see some of the rave review give this work i be faintly worry . perhaps it that i try and without prejudice and to view each movie on it own merit . regardless of author and director and studio or even the notoriety of the content . my advice and a many before me represent don not write and direct the same production . it be fraught with danger . movie need to be moderate to retain a semblance of credibility . a they say in school report could and can do good .
