The long day is coming to an end, only to find that this day is meaningless, the tragedy of life is nothing like this!

Movies are better than novels.

remains means “remains” and “remains”. The translation is good, but I think it is more appropriate to translate it as “the days will end” in combination with the plot of the movie and novel, because there is not much time left in life. , all the good are missed, so it has a more sad meaning.

In fact, it's not just love. The protagonist is a loyal, meticulous, and conscientious butler. The whole meaning of his life is to serve his master well. The master's status and achievements are also his achievements - his own so-called "dignity" , and he always thought that his master was engaged in the great cause of promoting justice and peace in the world. But the reality is just the opposite. The master has become a traitor who has been spurned by the world. It is conceivable that his so-called "dignity" has long ceased to exist (he dared not mention to others that he was Lord Darlington's housekeeper), His past life has become meaningless, a feeling of disillusionment, and he has also missed father and son love, missed love, a complete tragedy.

In the novel, he always excuses himself and refuses to admit the reality, until finally, after meeting with Miss Kenton, on the bench by the sea, he finally repents of what life is for, but the days are coming to an end. At the end of the year, there is not much time left. He said to Miss Kenton: "For the rest of your life, try to be as happy as you can," as he should.

    The plot has a high degree of reduction, but the story is still a bit disadvantageous when used as a film carrier. What needs to be told slowly, no matter how slow the film is, it still takes a limited time to tell the story. The music is a bit negative, and when I read the book, I feel a little sad, but I don't feel sad. Anthony Hopkins' eyes are too bright, and there are individual scenes that suddenly remind of the Silence of the Lambs. .

    The old butler was restrained and restrained, hiding his feelings under the appearance of a gentleman. Because of this, I missed a lot, including love, and when I wanted to make amends, I found that the long day was coming. There are many things in the world that can't be repaired. The old club and the old housekeeper also died in depression. Maybe life is dead, and nothing can be taken away. Time makes the result even more sad. I thought of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, a story similar to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that Chinese people can understand better.

  • Lord Darlington: Stevens, I realize this is a somewhat irregular thing to ask you to do.

    Stevens: I should very glad to be of any assistance, my Lord.

    Lord Darlington: Sorry to bring up a thing like this; but, I just can't see how on earth to make it go away. You are familiar, I take it, with the facts of life?

    Stevens: My Lord?

    Lord Darlington: The facts of life, Stevens. Birds. Bees. You are familiar, aren't you?

    Stevens: I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, sir.

    Lord Darlington: Well, let me put my cards on the table, Stevens. I'm so frightfully busy with this conference. Of course, you're very busy too! But, someone has to tell him. In a way, it would be easier for you. Less awkward. I - I find the task rather daunting, I'm afraid. In might not get around to it before Reginalds wedding day. Of course, this goes far beyond the call of duty, Stevens.

    Stevens: I - I shall do my best, my Lord.

    Lord Darlington: I'd be grateful if you even tried, Stevens. It'd be an awful lot off my mind. Look here, there's no need to make a song and dance of it. Just convey the basic facts and be done with it.

  • Stevens: I'd be lost without her - - A first rate housekeeper is essential in a house like this where great affairs are decided, between these walls.
