Monster

The story is about the friendship between two young boys and their interactions with their parents, their school mates and their teacher.

Liked how the film described what happened through multiple perspectives! Reminded me a bit of films by Hong Sang Soo. Great to slowly see the human side of those whom I thought were monsters initially!

The Remains of the Day

The story is about the life of a butler who served in a large English mansion from the 1930s to after the second world war.

Was thinking of watching another show when I realised that this movie was leaving Netflix soon and I wouldn't be able to catch it after that.

Liked the detailed insider look into a butler's life but it was frustrating to see his interaction with the housekeeper. Why does he keep thinking about work! I am considering reading the novel as I heard that it had a better ending.
