Hopkins attacks Hollywood condescension



Sir Anthony Hopkins gets it right!!!

excerpt:
Movie legend Sir Anthony Hopkins has criticised film bosses for making "condescending" films."Audiences aren't so mindless as movie-makers think", he told the Radio Times magazine.
The Hollywood star's latest film, The World's Fastest Indian, is a true story about a New Zealander motorcyclist who broke the land speed record.
Sir Anthony said of the movie: "No sex or violence, and that's refreshing."


He also criticised actors and actresses:
"I can't get caught up in the self-importance. People bow to your every wish and you forget where you come from and what you're doing," he told the magazine.
"I recently worked with two actors who wouldn't come out of their trailers for some reason."
"Can you figure that out? It's insanity. Or they complain because their trailers aren't big enough. "
"Bulls***. It's a job, like any other, so don't make a big deal. Be polite, treat the crew with respect and don't think you're different."
