Gentleman of restraint

The elderly father, despite his age, still regards being a servant as his most important career. He is proud of his son.

Even when his father died, he continued to serve at the table.

Forbearance of love, the housekeeper's admirer Stevens, made several offers, but was rejected by him. There are many waves in his heart, but he bears in mind the iron law that servants must not fall in love. He was in pain, but he still refused to break the rules.

He is a representative of that old era, a gentleman of the old school. He is polite and conservative, but he is never willing to be flexible.

When the old and new eras change, between the two world wars, and in the tide of the times, how should individuals rise and fall?

    #英國領展#Review: The ups and downs of an era and the sunset of an empire are condensed into the daily life of a manor. The old-fashioned and elegant gentleman's style was defeated in the face of a new world, but it became the cage of the manor and the housekeeper. Anthony Hopkins's eyes and brows are full of drama, but his 20 years of forbearance has become the most profound memory in his life, and the final farewell in the rain is disappointing.

    The source of the film is extremely difficult to find, so I watched it slowly on the weekend afternoon. A half-life portrait of a professional butler who is unfeeling and devoted to his duties. Hope always makes it difficult for me to adapt to being a good person, and I feel that there is always a sharp weapon hidden under the owl-like face. Many servants regard the housekeeper as a lifelong goal. Hope told the servant that you have a great future as a deputy housekeeper. We think it is very grotesque after the class theory has been cleaned up. How the housekeeper could fall in love with her, I don't understand.
