The Remains of The Day is a superb film. James Ivory's direction is great, and really stands out in the dinning room and outdoor scenes. When this movie was put out, Emma Thompson had just won her Best Actress a year before and Anthony Hopkins had won his Best Actor two years before, and they were both nominated again for this.
Hopkins discovers through interaction with outside parties that his employer is a nazi co-conspirator before the days of early World War II. He cares little about his master's affairs and just remains professional as the superb head butler. With little time for nobody, including himself, Hopkins' character realizes how he had let his life slip by, and the woman that tried to get to know him and be his friend, Emma Thompson.
This is a must see for anyone who is interested. The scenes can range from beautiful and sentimental to involvement in a thick plot. Great movie 8/10.
