Review of The Remains Of The Day (Wide Screen) by avitallly

Advantages: Well acted, scripted, directed
Disadvantages: The character of Stevens will always be Antony Hopkins to anyone who has seen this film!

...film. Okay, it's not in the most obvious way, but this is the way true romantic films should be. In this adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel of the same title, Anthony Hopkins plays a Butler, Stevens, who is so loyal and dedicated to his job, that he appears almost inhuman. The film tracks his memories of his relationship with Miss Kenton, the housekeeper, played by Emma Thompson, as they carry out their daily duties in the house, unaware, or turning ...
...the Second World War begins to erupt. Although there is no physical romance, or even spoken words of love to show how close the butler and the housekeeper become, it is obvious to the viewer, and the subtle way in which their relationships is presented makes each look, facial expression and sentence ten times as meaningful as it would otherwise be. The scenery is really lovely, and captures the era well, with subtle changes in weather reflecting ... Read review

Advantages: Superb acting and brilliant storyline.
Disadvantages: None

The Remains Of The Day is a touching story of unrequited love and blind devotion to duty,based on the novel by Ishiguro Kazuo. The film actually opens in the future.

Stevens the butler (Anthony Hopkins) has stayed on. Butlering is all he knows, and all he expects to ...
...years ago he did have the chance of love with Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson), the very attractive housekeeper. The unspoken passion between them simmered as both went about their duties. But Stevens denied his feelings for the sake of duty. Miss Kenton, unable to make the first move and unsure of Stevens’ feelings, eventually leaves Darlington Hall and marries in haste. The marriage is not a happy one, and many years later, as the marriage finally breaks ... Read review

Review of The Remains Of The Day (Wide Screen) by Anyanka

Advantages: Great cast, writing, score...
Disadvantages: unfulfilling ending

...it had been stuck on the end of the tape, but I was pleasantly surprised. It stars Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins as young housekeeper Miss Kenton and respectable butler Stevens respectively, with supporting roles from James Fox and Christopher Reeve. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, it charts the growing affection between the two. When Miss Kenton leaves the household, Stevens is free to finally acknowledge his feelings for her but as she’s ... Read review

DVD Description

James Ivory directed this quietly moving film set just prior to World War II. On the large English estate of Lord Darlington (James Fox), a disciplined butler, Stevens (Anthony Hopkins), devotes himself to his duties with rigorous dedication. Like his father (Peter Vaughan) before him, Stevens lives to serve--to bring order and certainty to the estate's minutiae. Though Stevens has the opportunity to break free of this mold in the form of a romance with the spirited housekeeper, Miss Kenton (Emma Thompson), he chooses to remain within the safe structure of the household, even one that has misguided loyalties to Nazi Germany. Christopher Reeve and Hugh Grant costar as men hoping to show Lord Darlington the danger of his allegiances. THE REMAINS OF THE DAY is Merchant-Ivory's follow-up to HOWARDS END, which also starred Hopkins and Thompson; both actors were nominated for Academy Awards for their roles as dutiful servants in the later film.
