The thing that moved me so much about this movie was the unspoken love in the play. This is not forbearance, forbearance exists in wives and daughters. For complicated reasons such as family tradition, occupational habits, personal character, social class, etc., Mr. Stevens is accustomed to hiding his feelings, and even regards it as a philosophy of life that he is not fully aware of. For him, two important moments in his life coincided with two meetings of the host family over the fate of the country and Europe, the first, the death of his father, and the second, the engagement of Miss Kenton. Mr. Stevens was as methodical as ever without going into details. What really interested me was the shock he felt inside the moment he accidentally broke the bottle; and when he recalled the two meetings, he would Put them where they are in life. How important he placed the stakes of the two meetings, but was silent on the content and impact of the meetings, and it is easy to believe that his performance showed his attitude.
It's hard to forget the last scene, the tram slowly started, Mr. Stevens and Miss Kenton's hands slowly let go, the reluctance is the reminiscence of the old memories, and for Mr. Steven, the only time in his life is the heart. Thrilling nostalgia. However, this is the only time that in such a subtle and silent way, there is no suspense on the end of life.
