      Do you have to be sympathetic?

      "Bookstore" is a cultural revival movement initiated by a woman, a despicable act of a group of people guarding the old society. Mrs. Green's assistant, little girl Christine, always said that she didn't like reading, and that she subconsciously loved books. Mrs. Green seems to see a glimmer of hope in her, Christine represents the future. Mr. Browntich lived alone in the oldest house in Harburg, out of contact with the world. Mrs. Green sent him books, came to visit, and after some...

      See the world through the window

      . If a book can arouse people's thoughts, it can be regarded as fulfilling her responsibility.

      --Inscription

      When an awakened soul, accompanied by her courage, was expelled to the unknown and vague sea, people hid behind their windows and watched her quietly through clear or hazy glass.

      The word widow (widow) is very...

      book is not alone

      I went there for the title party, "The Year-End Love in the Literary Movie, It's So Beautiful", but the end-of-year love in the story only stayed in the hand of the seaside at that moment, how I want to meet you at other moments in my life. , to be precise in another life. This seems to be the perfect commentary on all the emotions that are intolerant of worldly eyes. Because of itself, human emotions are not controlled by human beings. You can imagine that the sun is shining one second and...

      Books, no hypocrisy, no evil, move forward firmly

      Love this tune so much.

      I haven't read the original book, but a movie about a book should be like this. Time, in the movie, is like a river that has been flowing slowly. The old town and the old house have become the best footnotes of "The old house bookshop". Although, in the end, it will return to dust, but, isn't this the same as people, go to the end and disappear, this is the best ending.

      Florence, the heroine, has an air of calm, firmness. When she appeared alone, she...

      middle-aged and elderly single women who love to read

      In many movies I have seen, middle-aged and elderly women who love to read are usually either widows or never married. In short, they are all single, and they are not ordinary singles. Chun can develop into her husband's ambiguous object) grams themselves. This movie is really good, but the film is set in a small town with pleasant scenery, with sea breeze, old house, women and children in beautiful skirts, gentlemen in neat suits, and staggered parties (it feels very Austin-like)....

      1. "In a bookstore, one will never feel lonely"; 2. It's tiring to fight against the world alone; 3. No one can imitate Bill Nighy's hesitant British temperament. What's more, he is a versatile actor. 4. In the drama of the big heroine, there is something in Mortimer's eyes, which seems to be a quiet force; 5. I like physical bookstores, and I like to read paper books. The feeling of reading a paper book is incomparable to an e-book. The texture of the paper, the fragrance of the ink, a page...

      Grey sky and sea, wind-swept grass dancing. Sometimes not arguing is due to disdain, not cowardice. The courage to embrace ideals brings hope to do what you want to do. I love telling stories like this. I also want to have a manor and stay home and...

      The story is very literary and ordinary, but the two scenes between the male and female protagonists are very good, and it is embarrassing that mature acting skills can show. Although our bodies are the first time we meet, our hearts have known each other for many years. , just like the male protagonist said, "I want to meet you in another world", which is also the meaning of...

      Mrs. Gammat is a woman politician who is good at wearing heavy makeup and flamboyant clothes, but has no good intentions in her heart The widow recalled by her husband is in contrast to the heroine who is not good at dressing plainly, but has a gentle heart. The afro girl Kristin is so cute, the last sentence of the film "In the bookstore, no one is alone" T^T...

    Movie plot

    In 1959, in the British town of Harborough after World War II, every family was struggling to make ends meet, and children also worked part-time to earn change. The Bookshop had not been available in the town for more than 100 years. Years after her husband's death in World War II, Florence ( Emily Mortimer ) sells an old house that is about to fall and opens The Bookshop, which is hard-pressed but has a steady stream of good books....

    Evaluation action

    The film is meticulous in terms of props, costumes and setting, but the three actors who really support the soul of the film are Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy and Patricia Clarkson, who follow the British theatrical tradition and rely on performance. The built-up tension triangle constitutes a solid framework for the establishment of the film. Director Cosette has a great ability to coordinate the visual style, and her historical...

    Movie quotes

    • Edmund Brundish: [in a letter to Florence] I should undoubtedly visit your shop one day if I ever went out. But nowadays I rather make a point of never doing that.

    • Florence Green: [about a book recommendation] Thank you for suggesting it, I... sometimes feel the need of good advice. feel the need of good advice. You're very kind.

      Milo North: You're always making that mistake.

    • Edmund Brundish: I do not attach as much importance as you do, I dare say, to the notions of right and wrong. I have read Lolita, as you asked me to. It is a good book, and therefore I think you should try and sell it to the people of Hardborough. They won't understand it, but that's all for the best. Understanding makes the mind lazy.
