Implicit and beautiful

Second brush, to make up a lot of details. Anthony's acting skills were superb that year. There was also a "Shadow Land" in the same period, but I couldn't find any good resources, which is a little regrettable.

The butler's damn subtlety is a bit pathetic, but the subtle feelings between the two are still so beautiful. The housekeeper's only "confession", l will lost without her, was to a guest, and he made up some lame cover up. When the Lord said that it was a mistake to fire two Jewish girls a year ago and hoped to make up for it, the housekeeper went to the small flower room to share the news with the hostess, with his right hand on his waist and his left on the table. His cheerful mood, on the one hand, he hopes to be the same, on the other hand, he should think that the heroine will be very happy to hear it, and he will be happy with it unconsciously. After that, when I grabbed the book in the housekeeper's small study, a real wooden person would kiss it...

Just like the first time I watched it, the most beautiful scene in the play is still the scene where the two of them sit on the sofa and talk about work after finishing work at night. Because the heroine who fired the Jewish girl was in a bad mood, she held her cheeks in front of her body and held back tears under the light. The housekeeper was as puzzled as wood in the dimly lit place a little behind, and the perspective of the light was like an oil painting.

Twenty years later, on the way to the rendezvous, when the butler was talking to passers-by about the politics before the war, he said that he had indeed made mistakes, but he was referring to missing the heroine. "l am on the way to solve it out", it can be seen that Really care over the years. The little nervousness that the butler rarely showed when they met in the restaurant tried to hide it by calling the waiter, which was revealed by the speed of turning around. The last parting at the bus stop in the rainy night, the exhortation, the reluctance of the heroine, the handling is very light, there is almost no soundtrack, it seems that there is not much regret, but it happens every day, everyone will encounter Yes, part of life.

The background of the story is set to involve the political arena in Britain and Europe before World War II. What happened in the castle is probably based on some historical facts, which makes the whole story look very full, and it is also well integrated with the stories of the male and female protagonists. I admire the brilliant handling of the director and screenwriter.

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.
