Anthony Hopkins is not in "The Shipping News," but he did play an allegedly misogynist artist in the 2006 film "Fracture", where he portrays Ted Crawford, a brilliant but troubled lawyer who uses his manipulative skills to get away with murder. He is not an artist in the typical sense, but he does engage in the creation of a meticulously planned scenario, which could be considered a form of artistry.
It's worth noting that neither film explicitly portrays these characters as "misogynist" artists; the interpretations are open to discussion. However, both films explore the complexities of male characters struggling with their emotions and the potential for their actions to be hurtful to others.
