Worldview Anthony Hopkins

Отрывок из книги

«I am a journalist and writer Helen Meier. I have long ago idea of creating such book. Anthony Hopkins an unusual person, one in million, something mystical sets him apart from the crowd. Public people in the interview say what another people want to hear from them, but Anthony Hopkins is now in the untouchable caste, because in the first he has already proved everything to this world and secondly, because of his age, so I asked him to answer to some questions as frankly, as it possible, tell the world what he really thinks about it. I do not know if there was mr. Hopkins is frank or he was just joking in some of his answers, but in my opinion the book turned out to be unexpected and provocative. My role in creating this book as the creator of idea and editor, I tried to structure the answers in a single book, interviews- memoirs from the first face.

I want to thank Anthony Hopkins for responsiveness and frankness.”

For example, I’ll write about cannibalism, an interesting topic, right? I understood the psyche of Cannibal, he ate people he didn’t like, but he wanted some of them, so he felt himself more human, like the ancient soldiers ate parts of the body of their enemies or friends to take possession of their strength, it was cannibalism not for food, it is symbolic cannibalism. And it seems to me that people become like what they eat, for example, if a person eats a lot of pork, then he himself becomes like a pig.

Many of us thought about the topic of cannibalism, what kind of tast have human meat, had we eaten people if we didn’t have other food? I think most people would have crossed this line humanity if they didn’t have to kill a man. I also thought about it and realized that even if human meat saves my life, this life will be defiled and it will be difficult for me to live with the realization that I am a cannibal, we are all mortal, it is better to die as a human than to live as a beast.
