Line of Events
Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud invites C.S. Professor Lewis to discuss the existence of God, Freud’s unique relationship with his daughter, and Lewis; unusual relationship with his best friend’s mother. Anthony Hopkins had previously played C.S. Lewis in the film Zemlya syena (1993).

Lewis is searching for the gospels while a woman who pretends to be his wife gets him into bed on the phone. The film is set in 1939, but Lewis did not marry Joy Davidman Gresham until 1956. The woman was actually Janie Moore, with whom Lewis lived until 1949. [last lines] Sigmund Freud: From error to error one discovers the whole truth ..

It happened in 1939, on the eve of the declaration of war in London. Lewis (Matthew Goode) invites Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins) to his invitation.
Meanwhile, the two men attack each other’s philosophical beliefs
He passes Anna Freud (Liv Lisa Fries) on her way out to a lecture and wonders if she should reveal her lesbian affair to her father. And this is the movie, two men talking, interrupted occasionally by flashbacks to their youth and an air raid to give this scene some cinematic authenticity. In this fictional scenario – although the story is about an Oxford don visiting Freud shortly before his death, the claim, as here, that it was Lewis is a fabrication of the play and the film – they argue and finally agree that that people fear death . The rest…
If God created the universe we live in, thank you very much
well, Freud’s beliefs are at the end of his life (he died three weeks after the supposed events of the film), while there are plenty of things Lewis said up to twenty years later. As for the fundamental disagreement between religion and science, it is not a conflict; like smarter people, as I stated, science is about the how, not the why. Both men are fine actors and easily translate the script into natural sounding words. I have no idea that Hopkins' the accent represents Vienna well; Kohli Calhoun is featured as a dialect coach.
