The combination of British classical and Japanese classical, restrained to make people scratch their heads

The United Kingdom and Japan seem to be small islands on the edge of the road, lacking in resources. The people here are restrained, hard-working, full of pirate spirit, and have caused storms all over the world. I watched this play because the original author Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. I haven't read any of his novels, and I've never been in love with Japanese novels. Watching a movie feels like a good choice.
The butler is a very classical and noble existence. In...

long-lasting scars

I watched Kazuo Ishiguro's "Scars on a Long Day" for nearly three hours in a cold, haha ​​private theater.

The actors, soundtrack, plot, lighting and shadows are just right. Stephens is not completely loyal. Stephens' father is. The responsibility of the housekeeper is better than life, and he has a kind of obsession. Stephens is a kind of reluctant transition. In the midst of historical evolution, regime change, and changing times, he is tangled and paranoid to perform his duties....

love is the bless of God

At the end of the film, the housekeeper said: "When I left, I didn't expect that I would really leave. In a flash, after 20 years, I didn't expect that I was married and had children..." On the

contrary, the boys seemed more lonely. He loves too. He is also alone. Quietly. (I have been watching the movie and have been guessing what zodiac sign the butler is, Scorpio? Cancer? Later, I thought that there may be such people everywhere.)

I like Kazuo Ishiguro's novels very much....

if this is the love

This is a Japanese-like film in a British frame. The plot is very jumpy, and I personally think it is a bit similar to the narrative technique of "time and space" in the novel "Wuthering Heights": the plot develops in two directions, one is about the past-flashback, and the other is the future-sequence. Constantly changing time and space, the plot gradually unfolds and plumps. At the beginning, Mr. Steven, the butler, received a letter from a colleague from 20 years ago, the housekeeper Keaton,...

The Remains of the Day (1993)

Even by British standards, the film is restrained enough - the story is not missing, the plot is fairly simple: Lord Darlington in rural London, involved in secret diplomacy with Germany before World War II, after the war was regarded by public opinion as a The traitor died in depression. Fortunately, the mansion was bought by Lewis, a former US congressman who had criticized his appeasement rhetoric before the war, and Stevens,...

The dignified and restrained academic line, although it is the same as the original work of Kazuo Ishiguro like never let me go, it is of authentic British flavor~ It is a superficial misreading to interpret the film only as love. The interweaving of special history, the comparison of various situations of master and servant, and the debates of various viewpoints that seem to have been casually taken care of~ This film is about reflection on history and life, and ambiguous love is just one of...

Thinking of "Reason and Emotion", compared to the love that forbears reason, I still appreciate vigorous and reckless love, even if it is...

Adapted from "The Long Day Will End" by the Japanese-British writer Kazuo Ishiguro, the significance of the film is largely due to the lightness of the text story. When personal emotions are suppressed under the coercion of public history, Hugo once The first sign of true love is timidity in men and bravery in women. The performances of the male and female protagonists have achieved blind loyalty, empty sincerity, and forbearance of love. At the same time, every frame of the film is full of...
