history has history

The 1993 movie is about what happened in a mansion before and after the Second World War. There are a lot of things that happened in this mansion. The German ambassador, the American ambassador, and Churchill were all guests. I don't know the historical details. The subtitle version I watched was terrible. I only guessed seven or eight points. It is not too much to say that this is a historical drama.
The interesting thing is that I can see the spirit of those actors 14 years ago in this historical drama with some history. It is really timeless. Anthony Hopkins was still very spirited at the time. It seemed to be around 50 at most. The professional housekeeper has come alive; Hugh Grant didn't seem to have performed "Four Weddings and One Funeral" at that time. He was not well-known, and there were quite a lot of role plays. Compared with last year's "K Song Lover", he was more popular as a middle-aged singer. He was also in good spirits; Christopher, who played the old version of Superman, was so healthy at the time that he didn't even sit in a wheelchair.

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.
