The background of the story is very large. Perhaps the director and screenwriter want to tell more than just an emotional story. Let’s put aside politics for the time being. Just this "past" between Hopkins and Thompson is enough for fans. Aftertaste for a while.
Tagore said that the farthest distance in the world is not to love each other but not being able to be together, but to pretend not to care about knowing that true love is invincible...This poem is the role of Hopkins in the film Best interpretation.
This is a typical English manor. The winding path leads to the old-fashioned mansion. The lush woods on both sides can fully correspond to the imagination of the strange English manor when I read Sherlock Holmes. Of course, the manor must also have that quite a bit. Execution of the servant team.
The manor always seems to be so busy. The butler always wipes silverware, glass, etc. with a cloth in his hands. His eyes are firm. It seems that this is his most satisfactory way of life. He regards the job as a housekeeper as a lifelong career. , But in his spare time, he will also read a romantic ending romance novel, which only the housekeeper knows and understands.
Although he spent all his energy on his work, bit by bit of goodwill for the housekeeper gradually gathered in his heart, but he did not show it and pretended not to care. As a woman, the housekeeper When fragile, someone needs to reassure and understand. Although she can experience the love of a butler, the farthest distance in the world seems to be between them forever. She chose to marry and leave the manor. , Left the butler.
Time has passed and it is difficult to go back again, and 20 years have passed since we met again. The butler probably didn't want to be like the married housekeeper. He might just want the housekeeper to return to the manor. They still work together and work as they did in the past. Because even if it can’t do anything, it’s different to have her by your side and not have her by your side.
The housekeeper failed to return to the manor with the butler, because the married people would naturally have a lot of ties. The scene where they were parting was very calm. The dimly yellow lights of the bus shattered the oblique night rain. For the first time in his life, the butler verbally exhorted a few words like "Be happy". This time, I will never say "take care". In the end, reason and emotion are merged in this rain, which is said to be big and small.
The past can only be reminiscent. The butler who returned to the manor is still so dedicated. Everything in the manor is still in order. It's just that across the Gothic wooden window, the butler's eyes seem to have endless stories. , Maybe because he doesn't tell, the story will be very long, even he himself doesn't know where to start.
