I found myself feeling surprised at Anthony Hopkins choice to play a role that suggests,
"Not to believe in a devil doesn't mean it can't get to you.."
Such concepts, I feel, can torment young minds into that perpetual corner of consciousness pseudo logic that keeps telling itself it can never get away from evil huntsmen. What crude poison!
I think it thespian effluent to portray such fictional dross as plausible reality.
Am I missing something, or is there an underlying 'religious analogy' of intellectual value that I am failing to spot Hopkins selection? Or does this reflect his positioning on theism?
Strikes me as bizarre!
