Anyone who's ever revisited a meaningful place years after they were last there will know how poignant it can Categoriesbe.

The surroundings are familiar, but that often only serves to draw attention to how much time has passed in between.

On Sunday, actor Anthony Hopkins shared a video from a filming location featured in the 1993 movie Shadowlands.

"So this is where we started the film Shadowlands, and 23 years ago I sat here," says Hopkins. "Ted Hardwicke sat here, he's dead and gone, I sat over there. Debra Winger came in over there. That was the first day filming.

"The happiness then. The pain now. That's the deal."

That final sentence really is a gut-punch, isn't it? It's actually a play on a line spoken by Winger's character Joy Gresham to Hopkins' character Jack Lewis in the film: "The pain then is part of the happiness now."

Actor Maurice LaMarche's reaction to Hopkins' video probably summed it up best.

The very definition, indeed.
