I just finished watching this movie today.
Repeatedly thinking about one thing, confession must be the best? Does it have to be the best together?
A stereotypical English gentleman with only work, work, work in his heart, a loving and warm woman, her arrival brought flowers and sunshine to Stevens, but he never accepted no confession or even gave her. further opportunities.
What is he afraid of? What is he avoiding? Why didn't he accept it? Is it just because of work?
He is a perfectionist, what would happen if they were together? Having children, busy with life, the woman resigns and comes back to give birth to a baby, and he returns to their home every night after work to face the trivialities of firewood, rice, oil and salt? (The maid Liz fell in love with the maid, resigning and marrying is an obvious example.) Compared with such a bland and trivial life, perhaps Stevens would prefer to live under the same roof with Miss Kenton and maintain a platonic relationship. .
He cannot tolerate chaos, he cannot tolerate imperfection. Maybe he still doesn't love enough, or doesn't love deeply enough.
And she is childish, feminine, cheerful and lively, but she needs an ordinary and peaceful life. Years later, even though Ben still loves her so much, she has always felt regretful about her marriage with Ben. However, there is no way, she loves a man who is not active, but also loves a perfectionist.
There is no perfection in marriage!
The touching scene is in the study, Kenton wants to snatch Stevens' book, very ambiguous atmosphere, and finally Stevens is forced to a corner, Kenton breaks his fingers one by one and takes out the book , It turned out to be an ancient love story novel, this detail is on the verge of triggering, Stevens's tense, Kenton's heartbeat is like a drum, and his face is crimson, it is so obvious.
But, but, that's it.
The elderly Stevens and Kenton kept in touch, and he only wanted to see her on vacation. That is to say a gentleman's farewell to your young heart!
It is not difficult to understand that these two people were separated in the rain in the end.
Saying goodbye to Youqingtian, really, just saying goodbye like this is the best thing to remember!
Retaining the most beautiful emotions is not the perfection of life?
