The timeline is a bit different from the novel. The front is a little ugly, and it gradually becomes clearer. After reading a bit of the novel and then watching the movie, the novel is a bit difficult to read, but if you stick to it, there should be a sense of darkness.
Sympathy for Stevens, what makes him such a character? Going to Miss Kenton, who has been away for 20 years, with great expectations, and finally disappointed, as if this life is empty. work work work, only work.
Stevens is a bit like Ove and can be said to be inflexible. But more restrained than Ove, the restraint is almost dripping, like an emotionless machine.
When I finally parted with Miss Kenton, I finally said some warm "human words". Is it because of my age? The last emotional destination was lost, the rainy night, Mr. Stevens was crying in the car... He loves Miss Kenton, he loves his father, but he doesn't say it, doesn't reveal it, suffers for himself, and suffers for those who love him people.
Miss Kenton said it was her husband who loved her the most, but also doubted her marriage was a mistake. In the marriage, she was not happy until the arrival of her daughter. This should be the true portrayal of most people's marriages. People who marry don't love much, and they make do with their lives and eventually become a habit. Miss Kenton will probably never know that Mr. Stevens actually loves him...
Stevens looked at the flying birds, and probably just sighed that he had dedicated his life to the word "housekeeper". For Stevens, I can't say I wish him happiness, but I can only wish him peace and a good old age alone. He has only had a career in his life. Is he happy? Yes and no are not the answer. People can't be greedy for everything, right? He has love, and he can read old love stories, but career always comes first.
Do not judge him good or bad, respect his choices and respect the different personalities of different people.
