"Farewell to Love" movie review
Summer 2022-03-25 09:01:10
This film tells the story of an old housekeeper who is too dedicated to his duties. In order to be a good housekeeper, he does not fall in love (burying deep feelings in his heart), and never expresses his views on things in front of the master (only the master's order). is from), never commenting on the owner in front of others. With a new master, he still serves the new master faithfully and faithfully, and he is really tired. In short, this film is nothing to watch, the story is not strong, the theme is not too interesting, and it does not arouse my deep thinking. Personal score 3.5 points.

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.
