[QUOTE="Saturlight, post: 247340, member: 233652"] SPOT THE DIFFERENCE, because I was fooled 1 hour 20 minutes into the Film4 screening of Howard's End which I believed to be The Remains of the Day (1993). Confused? Let me explain. Yonks ago, I watched this period drama set in Victorian England about a butler (Anthony Hopkins) and this woman (Emma Thompson); I found it as compelling and moving as Brief Encounter (1946). For even though they had desires for one another, neither Hopkins nor Thompson made a move, neither kissing or anything. But there was a sexual tension, a desire so powerful between them, you could cut it with a knife. In the end, both separate, and on their parting neither of them have the guts or the will to say what they really feel for one another. [B]Now that film was called The Remains of the Day (1993).[/B] Go back 12 months to 1992, and we find Hopkins and Thompson playing [B]VERY SIMILAR ROLES[/B] in Howard's End, about...well, re: the above plotline for [B]The Remains of the Day[/B]...more or less exactly the same setting, characters...but a different story. Why on earth Hopkins and Thompson play opposite each other, in virtually the same characters in two films, only 12 months apart, staggers me... I was so looking forward to watching the movie in which love does not develop, but I got my Howards End mixed up with my Remains of the Day... An easy mistake to make. :-bash I mean even the film posters are virtually the same!
