    Compared with the 96 version, the story is simpler, and more brush and ink are used on the characters to make the characters fuller. Such a story is so...

    What a fine classic christmas romantic film! Lubitsch's storytelling is so top-notch that you can't stop for a second. Sometimes the audience knows what's going on, but just wants to see how he does it. In 1998, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's "Electronic Love" was the revival of this story in the age of interconnected information. A Good Story That Worth...

    When Stewart was young, he was tall, thin, and a little hunchbacked, but he had a handsome face and looked silly and well-behaved. He was so...

    4.7 The light on the faces of the characters is beautiful. The details are cute, the dialogue is interesting, and the image of the stubborn female Wenqing does not make people feel annoying, but makes people feel unrealistic and cute. Stewart's image is so good, his personality is humorous, smart and careful, and the rest of the characters are also very cute and interesting, especially the old colleague of the clerk. (My favorite line: "Hope is an ordinary and lovely...

    I finally saw this movie, it was even better than I imagined! The male lead has the most beautiful eyes in the world :) In addition, the street scene of "Budapest" is very similar to Harbin's Central...

    "Our daily life is boring enough. There are so many wonderful and great things in the world worth discussing. It's a waste of precious time to tell each other how to make a living, so let's not do...

    2021.09.20 Revisit "Vertigo" → James Stewart → 2021.11.08 Watch "The Corner Store": I didn't expect it to be a romantic comedy story of happy friends, and I didn't expect to see Tom Hanks and May by chance The original story of "Electronic Love Letters" starring Greg Ryan (I learned that the movie I watched many years ago was based on this film). Relatively limited space, several characters with different personalities, dramatic plot development and performance forms... Is the movie a bit like a

    The first Lubitsch was a lot worse than I expected. It should be the RomCom that I would like to kill and love, but it doesn't seem to poke me. Especially at the end, the male protagonist is still making fun of the female protagonist. If it weren't for Stewart, normal women would definitely fight when he played like a fool like this! "Electronic Love Letter" seems to have borrowed a setting, and there are quite a few changes in the remake. Except for not dealing with each other but being cloud...

    One of the favorite comedy movies. Family viewing at Christmas exceeds "Good Day"

    Due to the promulgation of the American film censorship law, Heiscode, Liu Bieqian can no longer be as comfortable as he did in the early 1930s to shoot a comedy that portrays the dark side of human nature with strong sexual implications like the "Heaven Trap" style. The production of "The Merry...

    The Mother of Electronic Love Letters

    Recently, I began to like Lubitsch's comedies, and I turned to the black-and-white comedy "Pen pals" in the 1940s to see. Seeing the English name The Shop Around The Corner reminds me of You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan, translated as "Electronic Love Letter". Meg Ryan's Katherine runs a small...

The Shop Around the Corner quotes

  • Alfred Kralik: Well, that's very nicely put. Yes, comparing my intellect with a cigarette lighter that doesn't work. That's a very interesting mixture of... poetry and meanness.

  • Alfred Kralik: Now let me tell you something, Miss Novak: You may have very beautiful thoughts, but you certainly hide them. As far as your actions are concerned, you're cold and snippy like an old maid. And you're gonna have a tough time getting a man to fall in love with you.

    Klara Novak (Miss Novak): I, an old maid? So, no man could fall in love with me. Really, Mr. Kralik you're getting funnier every minute. Why, I could show you letters that would open your eyes. No, I guess not, you probably wouldn't understand what's in them. They're written by a type of man so far superior to you that it isn't even funny. Ha! I have to laugh when I think of you calling me an old maid. You! You little insignificant clerk.
