Stevens has served Darlington House for more than 30 years as a butler pursuing perfection. In order to be a perfect housekeeper, he spared no effort in everything, even if he knew his father had passed away, he still did his duty to do his own housekeeping duties before going to see his father's body. Obviously and the female officials liked each other, but they never said it, suppressing their likes. Later, the female official's family left and married someone else. Twenty years later, he went to see the female official’s house. He thought he had a chance to start again with her, but at the dock on a rainy day, the female official’s house said that she had gradually fallen in love with her husband. Wrong choice, but now, just before she came to see him, she realized that "the place that suits me is to stay with my husband. In short, it is impossible to turn the clock back now. You can't always always Broken about things that may have been vocal in the past. You should realize that you live as well as most people, maybe much better, then you should be satisfied."
Finally, he said, "We may never We will meet again," and drove her on the leaving tram. She cried and said to her: "Take care." This is the last meeting, the last goodbye...The whole movie, only the last scene touched me.
In fact, I can't agree with the behavior and spirit of the male host at all. You can be a perfect housekeeper, but you can't sacrifice your feelings because of this spirit. He sacrifices love and family, and there is no friendship at all. What will he get in the end? Behind the loyalty, there is a blind payment. Serving for Lord Darlington for more than 30 years, he witnessed step by step how his master made political mistakes and remained indifferent, because he felt that the master was completely wrong. How similar is this spirit to the spirit of feudal scholar-bureaucrats! Blindly loyalty and dedication, without considering the meaning behind the behavior.
On his way to find the magistrate's house, facing the passers-by's evaluation of Lord Darlington, he began to reflect on his behavior, facing the magistrate's house, he began to regret his choice. Yes, he regretted it in the end, but he has no choice. The wheels of time are crushing us, and life has no choice but to move on. Even in the end, he did not tell the female officials his likes and regrets. He was depressed for a lifetime, and finally walked the rest of his life with his own depression and regrets.
However, I envy him again. Because for his goal-to be a perfect butler, he can devote so much concentration and willingly to give his life, even his family and love. A focused person is happy. Even if the onlooker disagrees with this concentration, he is immersed in the world of his own concentration. His firm spirit is what we lack now. Compared with his firmness, I feel more like a spiritual tramp.
Because I like to read books, read novels one by one, and be immersed in stories. Sometimes when I walk through rows of bookshelves and slide my hands over the back of a book, a warm current will rise in my heart for no reason. At that moment, I was thinking, As long as there are books, life is happy. Books are the only thing I love so far. When reading a book, I am immersed in the world of books, forgetting the surroundings, and completely experiencing the experience of the protagonist. After reading the book, what is the purpose of the author in writing such a book? I am immersed in this kind of world that I have created, and sometimes I feel full of happiness. But sometimes I doubt myself: What does it mean for me to spend so much time studying? Whenever I think this way, I think I should spend time reading some practical books. Looking at Schopenhauer's "The Wisdom of Life", he said that people who do not leave the book all day refuse to think. The process of reading is a process of avoiding thinking. Young people should read less novels, especially women, let alone. His point is that the stories in the novel are all untrue. If you read too much, you will think that it is the real world, which in turn will hinder your understanding of the real world. Because the great philosopher's denial of reading, especially the denial of reading novels, he decided to stop reading novels and directly borrowed two books on history.
Thinking about it now, it's just because of not being firm enough. I read a lot of books, but I didn't form my own system and lacked my own thinking. That's why I shook my spirit and became a spiritual tramp. The book still needs to be read, and the feeling will continue to be written. The only thing that needs to be changed is the purpose-you can't read the book for the sake of reading, thinking is the most important thing. As Descartes said: "I think, therefore I am."
Returning to the hero's love in the movie, apart from depression, it is regret. Obviously he liked each other, but he suppressed all his feelings and made the female official's house helplessly leave. In love, women are always passive. Most of the time, the initiative of love rests in the hands of men. So even if the two are in love with each other, as long as the man does not explain, the woman always waits passively. At the end of the day, she is first in her heart. It collapses, and there is no expectation in my heart, and women will retreat from this unknown love. This is the choice of female officials.
In fact, whether male or female, the premise is human. If the man you like is really a person who suppresses his feelings and doesn't know how to express, it doesn't matter if a woman takes the initiative. This is related to what kind of person you will be with in your life. Don't give up on the right person because of temporary entanglements or grievances. The world is big and there are many people. There may be only one or two right people. If you miss it, you will miss it. The female official said in the end that she sometimes thought to herself: "How big a mistake she made in life." Yes, she regretted it and regretted choosing another person in a hurry. He also regretted it, regretted not expressing his love at the beginning, and finally spent half his life thinking about it.
We have seen too many wrong choices, and we have seen the regrets of many people. In the end, it is our turn to still make wrong choices. The experience of life is not easy to learn. Experience is the most important. If you are still young, love, experience, and search for the only person until you find it. If you are not young, accept and change until you can live in peace with your own world.
