“Remains of the Day”
I saw that film recently and thought it was incredibly good. I'm not sure if that many people know about it but it must be one of Hopkins' greatest roles.
I endured that movie with an ex-gf who loved it. Years later someone said "what was that about?" and I answered "Two people fall in love, do nothing about it for 20 years, while cleaning a huge beautiful house."
English butlers are sought after for their ‘calmness in the face of adversity’
...and this movie was real keen on showing that. Remember when his father died? And when he had to fire the “Joos”? I’m very surprised noone but me has mentioned the film...
I watch it quite often when it is on, I was stationed in the UK for about 3 years in the late 80s. British films/shows are an aquired taste.
