#石黑一雄# #The Remains of the Days#, which won the Booker Prize in 1989, wrote the life of the housekeeper in the famous British marquis house. It was adapted into a movie in 1993, starring Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
There are three episodes in the film that are impressive:
The butler played by Hopkins only shows fatigue twice in the film. One is the last dinner he was serving at an important meeting when his father died suddenly of a stroke. The host asked him what was wrong? Once, the housekeeper played by Emma Thomson told him that he was going to quit his job and get married. The master's godson asked him what happened?
The third memorable episode is that after 30 years, the big housekeeper drives to find the female housekeeper in order to make up for the mistakes of the year.
Under the historical background setting and traditional British values, he is an extremely textbook-like restraint, meticulous, rigorous and silent butler. A movie without love is hard to watch. Hopkins hides his emotions behind impeccable language and expressions, mistaking the film several times for his immobility and micro-expressions.
So, a lot of times, it's not what we want to do, but what we should do drives us forward?
