Such a great (and sad) scene - brilliant acting, I really wished they'd make another film together.

[bluebell1225]

They actually do have another film together. Have you seen Howard's End? If not, that is another Merchant Ivory productions they both acted in. Another Brilliant performance. Take care :-)

Agree! Although there's no real sex in this film, the tension between the two is much more erotic than most of the sex-scenes you see in films.

The way she retreats into the shadow... gets to me.

@TheGodParticle Yes, but you see the situation you describe is what happens in every movie. They meet, they fall in love accidentally, they hold back, then they reveal their love to each other. Quite predictable. The fact that it did not happen in this film makes it all the more powerful because you suffer a little along with the charcaters. I thought it was very well done the way it was, even if I would have loved to see Stevens confess his love to Miss Kenton.

"I'd be lost without her."

Seriously this is one of the best dramas ever, I can never decide which film I like better, this one or Howards End.

@clazza01 Thats no excuse, If a woman loves a man she would normaly show him her heart and they always do in the end. This movie is simple based on a woman that held back her feelings and emotions for two decades perhaps three. And thats no foundation for a great movie. Its a great film don't don't get me wrong, but the relationship between the two is very fictional in my books. cheers people.

@TheGodParticle pride comes before a fall

[TheGodParticle]

Why she doesn't tell him her feelings escapes me. A wasted life.

What exactly did Miss Kenton find attractive about Mr Stevens? I say this as someone quite like Mr Stevens myself.

@clairegray13 You're not getting it. The film is brilliant. It's about a number of things but mostly Stevens' inability tio free himself to love Miss Kenton. The bird at the end is about feeling imprisoned, in this case, imprisoned by emotion, or lack of emotion.

[clairegray13]

what a rubbish film!! I lay in bed ill lasts night watching what I thought would be a grat period drama about upstairs and downstairs and its just went on and on with no real grit or passion. And the end bit with the pigeon, either I am not getting it or the writers were MENTAL!!!!!
