![]() It’s all about inner feelings and unspoken words. This film is gentle, some may say it’s slow paced, and beautiful. This internal struggle makes him closed up to love he feels disappointed and hurt. He believes a master must be morally superior. ![]() This makes the butler, Mr Stevens, increasingly uncomfortable as he finds out more about his master. ![]() The real story of the lord of the house unfolds, and it’s not pleasant. Now let me explain why this is the perfect ending to the perfect night in.īased on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, this film follows the lives of a butler, his master and a new housekeeper.Īs the housekeeper ‘Miss Kenton’ (Thompson) slowly falls in love with the very cold and insular butler (Anthony Hopkins). You know what I am doing, Miss Kenton? I am placing my thoughts elsewhere while you chatter away…Īs a fan of both Merchant Ivory productions and Emma Thompson, picking ‘The Remains of the Day’ was a no-brainer. ‘The Remains of the Day’ (James Ivory, 1993) Sound good? Make sure to also have a look at these other movies similar to ‘Jane Eyre’. There’s emotional intensity, but gently whispered. Like ‘The Notebook’, there’s parallel lives and there’s tales of loss and love. Without giving too much away, the scenes with ‘Jane’ (Mia Wasikowska) and ‘Mr Rochester’ (Michael Fassbender) are electrically charged: most of them are darkly lit so you need to squint and prick up your ears to focus on the dialogue. She is almost like a character from a different novel herself living her life locked up and cut off from the world. Lives evolve in parallel and there’s Mr Rochester’s mystery wife to deal with. Let’s expand a bit more on ‘Jane Eyre’: this version is stunning, with superb photography and paired down yet intense performances. I have already spoken very briefly about this film in another article about Michael Fassbender (any excuse to talk about him).

Plenty of sniffles throughout with a smattering of light-hearted moments courtesy of Woopy Goldberg as the medium who can channel the spirits Talking of which, more on movies to make you cry in Kerry’s article. Still, this movie has become a classic so if you haven’t watched it or maybe you hadn’t watched it in a while, you know you can have a good cry. The emotional crescendo in the film develops quite early on while the rest of the story has a bit less impact. ‘Ghost’ made lead actors Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore reach international stardom, thanks to THAT pottery scene… It’s all up here now! You want to move something, you got to move it with your mind! You got to focus, you hear what I’m sayin’?
