A British World War 2 film about an old housekeeper who always sticks to his post, shows his professionalism as always, and is respected by many people. But in fact, his major also has a lot of dehumanizing points emotionally. When his father passed away, he still handled his work calmly, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to his father. minutes and in the same building. I never dare to show my love to my lover. In fact, I don't know how many people with a strong heart can do this. Admire his professionalism, but disdain his lack of affection, or have to lose affection because of his professionalism. sad, pitiful

    United Kingdom#400. Although James Ivory is handy in making heritage movies, and the audiovisual is really accurate (the opening scenes are really touching!), but... it is still not as good as the original, the first-person narrative in Ishiguro Kazuo's original is too It's stronger, and the core stalk is actually that the first person conceals information. It should be able to achieve a part of the practical multi-layer sound and picture of the whole film. It's not that the loss of this feature is the most regrettable, but the relationship between the two in the original work has become a lot weaker in this version...Of course, this version of the adaptation also has very beautiful features, the "amateur diplomacy" in the manor. -Politics and the international situation are not so obvious in the original work, but here they become a rather external part. It was quite successful in this sense.

    Dedicated to his duties for decades, strictly restrained, not leaking emotions, tenderness to pieces. Without mentioning a word of love from beginning to end, has a rock-like heart ever shaken the mountains for her? There are very few close-ups in the film, and the hands that were held at the time of parting are finally separated. It really makes people sigh with sorrow and tears.

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • Sir Geoffrey Wren: So, gentlemen, you speak of Jews and Gypsies, Negroes, and so on so forth. But one has to regard the racial laws of the Fascists as a sanitary measure much overdue, in my opinion.

    Wren's Friend: But imagine trying to enforce such a rule in this country.

    Sir Geoffrey Wren: My Lord, my Lord, you cannot run a country without a penal system. Here we call them prisons. Over there they call them concentration camps. What's the difference? Ah, Stevens, is there any meat of any kind in this soup?

  • 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.
