#片片# Finally finished the novel and the movie. Because of the film's own advantages, some plots of the original novel were well presented, especially the scene where MISS KENTON wanted to read the title of the book was full of tension. Some of the novels made me a little confused. The passages are also clearer in the film. He has always preferred the reserved and restrained British style. Because of his "dignity" as an excellent housekeeper, STEVENS has imprisoned his heart and prevented others from entering, thus losing his normal family affection and causing MISS KENTON to give up himself because of his indifference. love for him. Compared with passionate love, rational and implicit love is obviously more beautiful, but for the sake of one's own career, is it worth it to almost strictly require oneself to restrain all the feelings that ordinary people should have? STENVENS in the novel finally tries to make himself have some sense of humor, although I have no hope for this, but maybe he wants to try to live for himself and make himself happier, but in the movie he returns to the house and repeats past life. (ps: The cast is very strong, and the acting is also very strong, not to mention the male and female protagonists, the supporting roles HUGE GRANT, Uncle REEVE, and Cersei's soy sauce)

Mr.Stevens's deepest love was completely released in his eyes when Miss Kenton forcibly broke his finger holding the book, but unfortunately he restrained his emotions in the end, leaving a lifetime of regrets. The farewell at the station, everything is in the eyes of the two. PSReeve is really very eye-catching and handsome.

Telling a subtle and restrained love story in the context of World War II, Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson interpret the beauty of restraint in love with elegant and sincere performances: affection escalates in every provocation confrontation, and hovers at the critical point of full but not overflowing. In the end there was nothing but melancholy. Director James Ivory delicately restores Kazuo Ishiguro's delicate depiction of psychological activities in the film.

Miss Kenton: I so often think of the good old days when I was the housekeeper at Darlington Hall. It was certainly hard work and I've certainly known butlers easier to please than our Mr. Stevens; but, I remember those years as among the happiest of my life.

Lewis: Burned again?
Stevens: Yes, I'm sorry sir. The rule of the kitchen here has always been that the cook cooks the cook's breakfast while her assistant toast's the toast.
Lewis: Well, why don't we just get her a popup toaster?
Stevens: Mr Lewis, we need not a new gadget, but, a revised staff plan, sir.
