my favorite detail

My favorite detail is that the male lead finally found the female lead, and the female lead said she would not go back to the manor. The two of them sat under the promenade and saw the neon lights suddenly light up in the evening, and local young people cheered and applauded. The male protagonist asked: "Why do they applaud for turning on the lights?" The female protagonist said, "The locals have always been like this, and the night is the best time for them." They are all small towns, and this town is so different from the town where the male protagonist has always lived. ——The male protagonist is restrained and conservative, and the town is warm and relaxed. The heroine has joined the town, which is a deeper reason for her reluctance to go back to Darlington. The heroine encountered difficulties emotionally, so she would naturally think of the past days and the man she once loved, so she wrote that letter. When the temporary pain is over (not just because her daughter is pregnant, the nostalgia for the past is only temporary), she will still choose to return to reality and return to her husband who has always loved her dearly.
The male protagonist also said that the period when the female protagonist was in the manor was the heyday of the manor, and it is not what it used to be now. The meaning here is that he also does not want the heroine to go back. In fact, the male protagonist has found another step for himself, showing that he is thinking about the female protagonist everywhere, even though he really hopes that the female protagonist will come back. The service personality is incurable.
The male protagonist went all the way to pick up the female protagonist with fantasies, but in the end it was nothing. At this time, it is not to blame for the male lead's repression and restraint, he has tried his best to show his love for the female lead. However, their chance to be together has passed. Don't expect a woman to be entangled with the past once she's past her fantasy period. Men who are obsessed are often men, men who regret it.

    The British people's upholding of traditions and strict adherence to self-denial and rituals have indeed reached the point of abnormality, so I am not surprised that London is the city with the highest suicide rate in the world. I respect people with self-control, but self-control to the point that I would rather sacrifice my feelings to maintain the dignity of a gentleman. That would be a complete hypocrisy. The film is only given to three stars, and there are half stars given to Hopkins' acting skills.

    8/10. This is not only a touching love story, but also a political fable in which Britain was replaced by the United States after the decline. , and the latter became accomplices in support of Nazi expansion. The ending was tearful. The Americans bought the mansion that witnessed the glorious demise of the empire. The male protagonist was still a caged bird in the mansion and no one released him.

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • 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.
