The Remains of the Day (1/8) Movie CLIP - The Rules of the Manor (1993) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
In a show of power, Mr. Stevens (Anthony Hopkins) reprimands Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson) for not following the protocol of the manor.

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.

HIT US UP:

[TunjungUtomo]

This movie is a study of a person imprisoned by his own sense of duty for so long, that he no longer able to discern whether it was sincere, or just a form of excuse to hide his insecurity of whether he'd be a good lover for a woman he care so deeply. I had this similar patch in my life where I chose refrain from the feeling of love for fear of conflicting it with my duties and responsibility then, but contrary to Mr.Stevens, I managed to move on, recover and able to muster the strength to be truth to my own heart when I found a new love, the one that has been together with me until today

[vinman]

To think how much talent is required for actors to effortlessly have such a conversation in such a scene...both were maybe robbed of Oscars that year I would think....

[judithmurphy]

The way he says "oh well" and gives a little chuckle at the end!

[mberg]

This movie is a billion times more elevating than Downtown Abbey.

[Llangwej]

Their accents and language are so beautiful. So gracious and civilized. Many people in Britain sort of despise this type of "hoity toity" language nowadays but it is something that people from other countries admire because it represents something about the graciousness and civility of the British themselves.

[baconlatte]

Movie is a masterpiece. Just finished the book. Masterpiece as well.

[wileywilson]

[laboremanum]

anthony is unique! watching him and listening, we can learn a lot, and that the manner that today very undamaged! Such people are there to remind us! lived anthony

[benmansfield]

His chuckle at the end says everything

[RaikenXion]

Anthony Hopkins should have played James Bond he can do cold, charming with effortless ease.

[jhavajoe]

One of the greatest romantic films ever made. Beyond the compartment of "romantic film."

[branphillips]

In those days, people took great pride in serving a family or person that they deemed "worthy". It was often the way of Royalty to measure the honor of a House by the loyalty and diligence of that House's servants.

[danielmarshall]

LOVE THIS FILM. Really really enjoy how very propper Mr Stevens is, what a very pleasant gentleman he is.

[Natedawg]

The language in this film, my god, just beautiful.

We'll never talk like this again 😔

[ADAMSIXTIES]

This should have swept the Oscars. Didn't win any; speaks volumes about them.

[dwagman]

Who else wants a Remains of the Day lunchbox? I carry my Dinner with Andre action figures around in mine🤣🤣

[darrylwynwilliams]

A work of sublime Genuis.
I Love this movie

[theuberman]

I like to think of this movie as an insight into Carson's past life.

[RobStephfanfver]

I mean, I study Remains in Literature and Stevens is nothing at all smoking and flirty gentleman...he's a total boor there in the books. Anthony makes him so...human!

"I appreciate your kindness Miss Kenton, but I prefer to keep things as they are" 0:15
They say men don't listen to women but Miss Kenton should have listened to Stevens when he said those words. He was dead serious.
