Inspiring and entertaining
14.08.2015
I saw The Remains of the Day some weeks ago – the movie, I haven't seen it for a long time, and enjoyed it even more than I’d expected. The actors did much the same job as the narrator’s voice did in the book... I decided to see the movie because I’d just recently read the book. I enjoyed the book too. Had some good insights about emotions, regret, about human connection. I read the book because I’d read another book by the same author, Kazuo Ishiguro, earlier in the summer, and I’d enjoyed it. And I heard about the book, if the context haven't made it obvious, through an interview on Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy. So that's a lot of enjoyment derived from only one episode, and other episodes have had similar consequences... Things I've picked up from the show, followed up on. It's an inspiring podcast in that regard. Over the six-or-so months I’ve been following it, I've been served an even mix of panel discussions and interviews, covering authors, their books, recent movies, their broader themes, and general trends in the world of the fantastic. It's made me more familiar with a culture I was pretty familar with before, and as such lives well up to its name.
