Based on Kazuo Ishiguro's work, the plot is no less than Marquez's "Cholera", and the connection with the times is even more than the latter. He deserves a Nobel Prize. I really like this narrative calm love story, or love regret. After 20 years of separation, old friends reunited. They talked about people and things they were familiar with, and commented on the scenes and pedestrians around them. They were "You must take good care of yourself, Mrs Benn." Right hand - Compared with "Only God knows how much I love you" and "If I can't live for love, then I'm willing to die for love" I don't know how many times it fits real life!

In addition to the main line of love between the housekeeper and the Housekeeper, the film also tells the story of the foreign affairs banquets and meetings held in the mansion. The Jazz, like Chamberlain, had a policy of appeasement towards Nazi. Not expanded here.

About love, about the past, as for me. Ich gehe nie zurück. Das ist Vergangenheit.

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.
