Review of The Remains of the Day (1993) by Akhil A — 23 Sep 2009
Just watched it last night so have everythin fresh in mind...the subplots...WWII, Hopkin's father, Emma's lover, Hugh the reporter...are weak or more than subtle...project a lame storyline...I myself like slow moving stuff but with good dialogues and a solid story with a cast like this.
Being a writer myself I can see why this material might look tempting to a movie maker but execution I must say here lacks punch. I have 3-4 movies of Emma and in most of them she's tryin to runaway from love.
.Sense n Sensibility..Last Chance harvery n this one...n on top of that Hopkins carried the same look throughout the movie...made it quite a monotomous experience for me, atleast...
