prison

After watching this movie, you can deeply understand what it means to draw a dungeon as a prison. Stevenson is not without affection. A person without affection will not go through a long journey thirty years later because of a letter from the other party. Trying to salvage a long lost relationship. Before meeting, he read her letter again and again, he was so excited and jumped, nervously confirming the tea and snacks, but when Kenton told him that he couldn't go back to the manor with him again because of family ties. At the same time, you can helplessly see the flame of hope in his azure blue eyes being extinguished little by little. At this moment, he can finally understand that the past has finally passed, whether it is the glory of the past or the unspoken feelings, with time gone.

It's really hard to understand that Stevenson's repression of his feelings, the pigeon that repeatedly hits the ceiling glass at the end symbolizes Stevenson's feelings, the death of his father, the affection of his lover, regardless of his feelings He almost instinctively controlled the ups and downs, so he would never be able to fly out of the cage he set for himself.

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • Miss Kenton: [about a new housemaid] You don't like having pretty girls on the staff, I've noticed.

    [teasing]

    Miss Kenton: Might it be that our Mr Stevens fears distraction? Can it be that our Mr Stevens is flesh and blood after all and doesn't trust himself?

    Stevens: [with the faintest trace of a smile] You know what I'm doing, Miss Kenton? I'm placing my thoughts elsewhere as you chatter away.

    Miss Kenton: ...then why is that guilty smile still on your face?

    Stevens: Oh it's not a guilty smile. I'm simply amused by the sheer nonsense you sometimes talk.

    Miss Kenton: It *is* a guilty smile. You can hardly bear to look at her. That's why you didn't want to take her on, she's too pretty.

    Stevens: Well, you must be right Miss Kenton, you always are.

  • Miss Kenton: I don't know what my future is. Ever since Katherine, my daughter, got married last year, my life has been empty. The years stretch before me and if only I knew how to fill them. But, I would like to be useful again.
