It is said that this romantic love sketch-style movie should be based on handsome guys and beautiful girls. However, the male and female protagonists of this film are not the type to win by appearance, but this is not a problem for the two leading actors at all. Meg Ryan is kind and lovable, making people look extremely comfortable, and this comfort comes naturally from the inside out, regardless of appearance and acting skills. I think this should be temperament! It is this kind of approachable temperament that makes Meg Ryan unfavorable in the era of America's sweetheart. Her natural and pleasant performance in the film will intoxicate the audience. Who cares if she is sexy enough? Or pretty? And the male protagonist Tom Hanks is also the kind of actor who is not very handsome, but he is full of aura and natural performance. He always seems to be able to convey some kind of power to the audience in his performance, so as to shock people; Warmth makes people fall into it. It is also the cooperation of these two people that makes this skit-style film come alive. I think that's the power of great actors, they always do magic.
Another topic in the movie that interests me is bookstores. The hero and heroine in the movie each run a type of bookstore, ranging from small bookstores with distinctive features, to large-scale, chain-operated bookstores. The film seems to want to convey a certain idea to people, that is, large bookstores with a strong commercial atmosphere are cold, and cruelly crush small bookstores with human feelings, which eventually lead to the closure of small bookstores with a long history. That seems to be the only cruelty in the movie, a brutal, life-and-death rivalry. However, from my point of view, since this is the competition between the two bookstores, the brutal colors are also warmed up. Because in my opinion bookstores are so different, even those large chain bookstores, no matter how full of business atmosphere, will not appear cold, they are the warmest place in those noisy and uninteresting business districts, I think a successful There must be one, or even several bookstores in the business district, otherwise it will be a boring world.
A while ago, several brick-and-mortar bookstores in Beijing closed down. I think this can be regarded as a failure of the city, and it has lost some opportunities to avoid falling into the vulgar. In my opinion every bookstore should not go out of business, but sometimes our power is really limited.
