The Remains of the Day The Chinese translations of "Farewell to the Lovely Heaven", "The Long Day Left Marks" and "The Long Day Will End" are all beautiful.
I like the male protagonist's rigorous approach to job responsibilities, but under the training mode of a working environment that does not require subjective judgment, his feelings are also suppressed to the point of blurring. It is a rare journey in life to let go and pursue love. There are reflections on life and expectations for the future, but in the end, it is the arrangement of fate that cannot be overcome. Is the self-esteem under the love mask an elegant turn or a arrogant hypocrisy?
The film is labeled "love", but in fact the appearance of love in the film is very obscure. The broken wine bottle, the night fell, the cheers of the people under the lights of the dock, the desolate eyes behind the phrase I wonder why, the father's words before his death, "I have no feelings for your mother", the farewell hands at the rainy night station The hands that were tightened and loosened were probably all missed and regretted. The tone and rhythm of the movie are melancholy. With the curtain call of an era, the trajectory of life is so clear that it can no longer be changed. Every choice in our life is big or small, regardless of whether you realize it's meaning to life or not. Whether it's important or not determines how your life looks like. Looking back at those traces, they only stay in the bottom of my heart.
"Farewell to You Qingtian" is more tragic. It is difficult for someone to actively choose to say goodbye. I don't want to be chic, I just want to love what I love.
