Some broken thoughts, the number of words exceeded, so I had to change it into a film review

It was boring at first, but once you have the patience to look into it, it will be fine. In the movie, the two of them have been holding back and not confessing, which made me anxious. In the part of grabbing the book, I thought that they would have a kiss in the end, but the result was so disappointing. I don't know why I suppress my emotions so much, maybe this is the British? There are also a lot of political parts interspersed in it, which echoes the past and the present, and can also reflect the psychological changes of the housekeeper, which is really good. Several actors are too surprised that Lizzie is still a young queen, the congressman with big eyebrows and big eyes is actually a superman, and the old manor is also the doting father of his daughter in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The godson who doesn't play much is actually Hugh Grant. what! When I just read the comments, I realized that what the old manor asked the housekeeper and godson to talk about about nature actually meant "spring is here, and it's mating season"! This is too obscure! I thought that the old village owner thought that his political ideas were at odds with himself, and planned to send him to go sightseeing, not to participate in the meeting or to interfere in political affairs.

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • 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.

  • Miss Kenton: I don't know what my future is. Ever since Katherine, my daughter, got married last year, my life has been empty. The years stretch before me and if only I knew how to fill them. But, I would like to be useful again.
