This is a British gentleman's film. The film itself is like a traditional British gentleman, with beautiful pictures, traditional expressions, and rigorous structure... The story is also very gentle, describing a very traditional housekeeper Stevenson's respect and love for his profession has reached an almost pedantic level.
Another leading actor in the film is Lord Darlington, who compromised with the Nazis for the sake of British peace before World War II.
Use the story of a small person as the main line, the big event as the background, and the sub-line to make the film look good.
In the film, the housekeeper is loyal to his profession and even sacrifices his love, which makes contemporary Chinese nanny laugh until his stomach hurts. It is a common phenomenon to find a nanny who is not dedicated to the customer, and it is not uncommon to beat the employer. In Hangzhou, the nanny even set fire to kill the employer.
The style of the film is calm, and there are no stunts to fool the audience, making contemporary Chinese directors laugh when they see it. Our films have fantastic plots, garish photography, bizarre structures... they just can't express the slightest bit of human and human nature.
"The Remains of the Day 1993" is not as accurate and elegant as other translations such as "The Long Day Will End" and "Leave Traces of the Past Day".
