when Anthony Hopkins' C.S. Lewis and the young Douglas Gresham in the Attic after the boy's Mother had succumbed to cancer. Hopkins as C.S.Lewis puts his arm around the boy who says with deep grief that he misses her so much and they both along with myself watching them burst in to deep, gushing sobs of open hearted emotion... and to Give Sir Anthony Hopkins his due for a Trifecta of Tears in case it was not known he played the older man in the film I mentioned first;Hearts in Atlantis,his non-relationship relationship with Emma Thompson's 'Mary Kenton' in The Remains of the Day tore my heart out in several scenes first when she confronts him in his room as he reads a book, again when he is told his father has died and he thanks the bearer of this sad news and returns immediately to his serving and finally at the end when he is left standing alone in the rain as the bus carries away the Love he never let himself know... for ever.. so lost love and lost loved ones seem to be what strike me most profoundly... that or Tony Hopkins is the most genuine emotionally engrossing actor in film... or both.
