內容簡介

內容簡介 ★《紐約時報》即時暢銷書★ 奧斯卡金像獎得主安東尼・霍普金斯（Sir Anthony Hopkins）首次公開坦白人生、長久以來的痛苦與救贖奧斯卡影帝安東尼・霍普金斯，在這本誠實、動人、備受期待的回憶錄中，回望他輝煌的電影與劇場生涯、艱難的童年，以及走向清醒與自我救贖的道路。出生於英國威爾斯的小鎮波特塔爾博（Port Talbot）——那是一個鋼鐵工業城，在戰爭和經濟蕭條的陰影下成長。霍普金斯身邊的男人皆粗暴、壓抑情緒，以酗酒與暴力面對人生。他在學校表現掙扎，從父母到師長都認定他毫無前途，是個注定失敗的孩子。直到某個命運般的星期六夜晚，他看到了 1948 年版的《哈姆雷特》，那一刻在他內心點燃了演戲的強烈渴望，也帶領他走上一條無人能預料的道路。以一種既坦率又敏感的語氣，霍普金斯回顧生涯中的多個重要里程碑，並揭開他那些經典角色背後的創作歷程。他飾演伊阿古（Iago）的表現讓他獲得皇家戲劇藝術學院（RADA）錄取，也讓他成為勞倫斯・奧立佛（Laurence Olivier）的門生。他曾在年少時偶然遇見理查・伯頓（Richard Burton），多年後又在成名後於舞台劇《馬》（Equus）後台再次與他重逢。他詮釋漢尼拔・萊克特時，部分靈感來自貝拉・盧果西在《德古拉》中的怪異演出，以及老師那種精準到極致的指導。他也從父親與祖父的冷峻性格之中提取最深的情感，創造了令人難忘的《李爾王》。霍普金斯同樣誠實地直面自己人生的低谷。他的酗酒毀掉了他的第一段婚姻、與唯一孩子的關係，甚至差點奪走他的生命——而這最終成為他走向清醒的契機，至今已近五十年。他一生都在和內心那種「逃避人群、害怕受傷」的衝動搏鬥——正如他家族中的男性一樣。隨著年歲增長，他也開始面對死亡與未知，準備理解父親口中所說的「那個大秘密」。書中並收錄許多霍普金斯的私人珍貴照片。《We Did OK, Kid》是一部真摯、原始、深刻的回憶錄，出自一位複雜而偉大的藝術家——一位以六十年精彩演出感動世界的傳奇。INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAcademy Award–winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his illustrious film and theater career, difficult childhood, and path to sobriety in his honest, moving, and long-awaited memoir.Born and raised in Port Talbot—a small Welsh steelworks town—amid war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents, and other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path that no one could have predicted.With candor and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art teacher’s apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero. His iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy performance of Bela Lugosi in Dracula and the razor-sharp precision of his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion from the stoicism of his father and grandfather for an unforgettable performance in King Lear.Sir Anthony also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with his only child, and nearly his life—the latter ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting hurt—much like the men in his family—and as the years go by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what his father called The Big Secret.Featuring a special collection of personal photographs throughout, We Did OK, Kid is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty years.

作者介紹

作者介紹 安東尼・霍普金斯是影史上最具影響力、最受尊敬的演員之一，以驚人的角色塑造能力、極高自律與深沉細緻的表演聞名全球。1937 年出生於威爾斯的鋼鐵小鎮 Port Talbot，他自幼在戰後蕭條與家族嚴苛的文化中成長，學業成績不佳、飽受自我懷疑，被師長視為「沒有前途的孩子」。然而在 1948 年觀看到《哈姆雷特》電影改編後，他體內的藝術火焰被點燃，也讓他堅定踏入戲劇世界。霍普金斯後來考入皇家戲劇藝術學院（RADA），並受到傳奇演員羅倫斯・奧利佛（Laurence Olivier）賞識，成為其親自指導的愛徒。從舞台到電影，他以極強的專注力與爆發力逐步累積深厚聲望。1991 年，他以《沉默的羔羊》中經典角色食人魔「漢尼拔・萊克特」震撼全球，不僅僅是恐怖片中的反派，而是以冷靜、優雅、令人戰慄的演技成為文化符號，並以僅 16 分鐘戲份拿下奧斯卡最佳男主角。此後，他在《慕尼黑》、《教宗的承繼》、《父親》、《驚爆焦點》等作品中持續挑戰不同類型，二度奪得奧斯卡，成為影史最年長影帝之一。銀幕之外，他的人生同樣跌宕深刻。霍普金斯在年輕時飽受酗酒之苦，這段低谷毀掉了他的第一段婚姻，也讓他差點失去生命。他最終在 AA（戒酒互助會）協助下戒除酒癮，保持清醒至今四十多年。他同時是畫家與音樂家，晚年仍不斷創作、分享人生經驗，展現超越演技的生命韌性。如今的安東尼・霍普金斯不只是一位偉大的演員，更是跨越半世紀仍持續創造角色、啟發後輩的傳奇。他以極大誠實面對自己的脆弱、傷痛與天賦，在藝術與人生中持續探索，也透過回憶錄《We Did OK, Kid》揭示一位偉大靈魂背後最真實的旅程。
