there's a moment in remains of the day (the book) when Stevens goes "of course her letter has given me extra cause to continue thinking of her as 'Miss Kenton', since it would seem, sadly, that her marriage is finally to come to an end".

that freudian use of the two adverbs (Sadly and finally) betraying his state of mind. That finally is astonishing. He hasn't spoken or written to this woman in 20 years! He had no idea of what happened to her, or how her marriage is going, where she lives or what she does. And yet he was sure it was going to fail. He was hopeful it would be fail. Just. this book.

Very good movie. Depressing. But good.
