he has nothing

He loved his father so much, but he died; he trusted his master, Darlington, but Darlington made a political mistake; he loved Miss Kenton, but Kenton ended up marrying someone else.

So in the end he got nothing and was stuck in that mansion for the rest of his life.

"Work, work, work, this is what I have been doing in the past, now and in the future..." Apart from working faithfully and according to the rules, he did not dare to break the line, did not dare to intervene in anything, did not want to reveal his emotions, did not want to express His own love, he just worked harder when he was sad, he hurt himself, and brewed himself into a bottle of bitter but charming wine, which was smoked to the audience. But also because of this, his external indifference hurt his father, hurt Kenton, who was full of expectations for him, and finally was alone.

He drew a circle for himself and banned himself for the rest of his life. What it means to draw a dungeon into a prison, Stevens in "Leave the Days" really explained it 100%. Just like the name of the film, the traces of the past, Stevens left only a faint trace in his heart in the end, the past was, the past is gone, and the future is not much left, what a pity. At the end of the film, he looked at the flying white dove and wondered if he would shed tears gently.

How lonely it would be if he shed tears.

    Save the five stars for the future, the imagination of the text is always bigger. All the actors in the film have a show, not to mention the two leading actors. The film is filled with the breath of the old age; the end of the empire turns into an unattainable elegy of love, old-school, stable, and painful.

    The script (or the original) is very neat, and the DVD extras also help with the title: Blind Loyalty, Hollow Honor: England's Fatal Flaw. Hopkins' Butler is a metaphor for the general public, conscientiously serving only the upper class, and the upper class is all two hundred and fifty. It can be said that it is very anti-elitist. The British died and the Americans took over, but it was very realistic = =

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • Lord Darlington: Stevens, I realize this is a somewhat irregular thing to ask you to do.

    Stevens: I should very glad to be of any assistance, my Lord.

    Lord Darlington: Sorry to bring up a thing like this; but, I just can't see how on earth to make it go away. You are familiar, I take it, with the facts of life?

    Stevens: My Lord?

    Lord Darlington: The facts of life, Stevens. Birds. Bees. You are familiar, aren't you?

    Stevens: I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, sir.

    Lord Darlington: Well, let me put my cards on the table, Stevens. I'm so frightfully busy with this conference. Of course, you're very busy too! But, someone has to tell him. In a way, it would be easier for you. Less awkward. I - I find the task rather daunting, I'm afraid. In might not get around to it before Reginalds wedding day. Of course, this goes far beyond the call of duty, Stevens.

    Stevens: I - I shall do my best, my Lord.

    Lord Darlington: I'd be grateful if you even tried, Stevens. It'd be an awful lot off my mind. Look here, there's no need to make a song and dance of it. Just convey the basic facts and be done with it.

  • Stevens: I'd be lost without her - - A first rate housekeeper is essential in a house like this where great affairs are decided, between these walls.
