Based on Arianna biography what movie depicts Anthony Hopkins as an allegedly misogynist artist?

The movie you're thinking of is "The Shipping News" (2001), which stars Kevin Spacey as Quoyle, a man who moves to a small fishing village in Newfoundland after his wife's death. While he is not an artist in the traditional sense, he becomes obsessed with writing about his experiences, much to the chagrin of his wife's sister, played by Julianne Moore. Quoyle is indeed portrayed as a man struggling with his emotions and dealing with the grief and trauma of his past, which leads to him making decisions that could be considered misogynistic.

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.
