The Remains of the Day (4/8) Movie CLIP - Guilty Smile (1993) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson) teases Mr. Stevens (Anthony Hopkins) for eyeing a young housekeeper.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Filmed with the usual meticulous attention to period and detail of films from Ismail Merchant and James Ivory, The Remains of the Day is based on a novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. Anthony Hopkins plays Stevens, the "perfect" butler to a prosperous British household of the 1930s. He is so unswervingly devoted to serving his master, a well-meaning but callow British lord (James Fox), that he shuts himself off from all emotions and familial relationships. New housekeeper Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson) tries to warm him up and awaken his humanity. But when duty calls, Stevens won't even attend his own dying father's last moments on earth. The butler also refuses to acknowledge the fact that his master is showing signs of pro-Nazi sentiments. Disillusioned by Hitler's duplicity, the master dies an embittered man, and only then does Stevens come to realize how his own silence has helped bring about this sad situation. Years later, regretting his lost opportunities in life, he tries once more to make contact with Miss Kenton, the only person who'd ever cared enough to seek out the human being inside the butler's cold veneer.

People unfamiliar with acting may not appreciate the subtly and nuance layered in both performances. So satisfying to watch two titans at the top of their game.

[ne-station]

This is one of those rare moments from a rare movie that has to be watched over again and again.

[stephencarter]

Anthony Hopkins, he knows what the hell he's doing ! Note how Mr.Stevens glanced at his reflection (01:11), then caught himself, and quickly put the tray down. Smooth and subtle...and sly.

[thexxit]

God... this movie... I could watch it forever. And forever be frustrated with Mr. Stevens.

[VictoriaBlogger]

I do believe that 0:43 is one of the most frustrating moments of the whole movie. Why DOES Mr. Stevens hide his feelings? He might have said so in this moment of unguardedness, and they might have finally gotten somewhere in their relationship. But no. The maid walks in. And so the mystery continues. *heavy sigh*

[steiffbar]

Two greats of the screen together! Love them!

[NiVi]

Well, that Mr. Stevens was almost flirting! 😀

[RaikenXion]

Hes friggin class in this film, its kind of hard to work him out.

[squamish]

The happiest moment in the movie. Such a relief! Just pretend it was all uphill from here :)

[GILLYify]

Exceptional film and storyline and the acting is outstanding from all of the main players throughout

[jisa]

This is the most romantic moment between those two in the whole movie. This and the racy book moment.

[SehnsuchtYT]

My impression from the book is that Stevens' stoicism becomes cowardice. He never stands up for himself or anyone else. He claims he thought the dismissal of the Jewish girls was wrong but never said anything about it. The only time he stands up for anything is when arguing about some detail of housework. But it is a learned cowardice, not an innate one.

[jsharp]

Well, she is asking him to admit to liking Cersei Lannister. Not every guy would do that. ;) (That's a young Lena Headey as the maid)

[hanscombe]

Emma Thompson is a wonderful woman I think must be an absolute joy to spend time with. Of all things I saw an hilarious interaction with Tom cruise. He’s on the red carpet at a premiere and she comes up with a drink and gives him a big hug. Cruise smiles and says “how are you darling?” And she offers him a sip of her cocktail. What a delight!

[nicolesong]

he's so cute. i'm sorry i'm not in my right mind but -- he's so pleasant. without thinking too hard about the content of this story

[howwwwwyyyyy]

What an excellent film, I can't help thinking that many people might not be so interested because of the title

[ariplatt]

Underrated film. It belongs in the top 100 of you also me.

[jewels]

could it be that Mr. Stevens fears distraction?

[nicolesong]

0:41 bruh, rude interruption much. the head housekeeper, and the head butler is in there! have some respect
edit: no i have not seen this film

[nicolesong]

this film apparently allegedly needs more banter
