warm link

The rain all day and night makes people feel depressed and sad. Especially in the face of the current situation of the epidemic, the client messages that can be viewed every day are all kinds of sad, angry and powerless messages. Suddenly I saw the first recommendation and recommended the movie "Bookstore" to me, and I watched the movie quietly without being disturbed by the quilt.

Returning to the movie itself, the heroine insisted on opening a bookstore despite everyone's doubts. In such a small town, like all small towns, it is closed and secular, with beautiful scenery and women who are biting tongues. Women really like to embarrass women, and Mrs. Garmat's jealousy and disgusting methods are just because the heroine offends her high authority, and it's just because she can't control the heroine.

When the old house bookstore officially opened, I was happy for the heroine, she did it, she persevered, is she lonely? Of course it is lonely, a widow insists on a different path, and she can gossip in a small town, but she is also very happy, she knows what she wants, she knows what to do to make her full and happy. I opened the bookstore because I missed my husband. The first time they met in the bookstore, they fell in love at first sight. In the past, my husband always read aloud to her, how warm. The bookstore seems to link and continue such warmth.

The old man of the manor is considered a long-term friendship. Each has his own past, but he can chat freely. Virtue alone is not enough for a person, the most important thing is courage. The heroine did it, gave the old man some hope and established hope for himself.

I don't know why some people are always like this. They don't live very well themselves, but they can't see others live better than themselves. I hope that everyone will sink into a lifeless life like myself and will never recover.

The film's soundtrack and dialogue are beautiful, often with grass and trees swaying in the wind and the heroine alone. This also indicates the loneliness in the heroine's heart! The bookstore is her home and the only place she can place her heart. But in the end, she was driven and deprived. She touched the books over and over again, she kissed the floor of the old house, she gave these books life, she brought breath to the old house, and she left by boat in desperation

In the end, the bookstore was burned down by Christina, unfortunately. But it was better than falling into Mrs. Garmat's hands. I'd much rather have the bookstore burn down.

Christina: She achieved her dreams and was taken away, but no one can take away what she has deep inside her, her courage, what she left to me, and that courage and love of books

In a bookstore, one will never feel alone!

    It doesn't matter if the layout is small, but this story always feels that something is missing, incomplete, and some parts don't make sense, although it is indeed very delicate.

    3.5 "The town where she lived for almost decades doesn't need a bookstore", but it is enough for a book to enter a person's heart. I always felt that Emily Mortimer was the right one to play, more so than any other actor who claimed to be so fond of reading.

The Bookshop quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: For years to come, I will remember how she tried to smile looking at the book I had in my hands. Then, she realized what I had done. She had fulfilled the dream and they'd snatched it away from her. But what she possessed deep down was something no one could ever take away from her: her courage. And it was that courage and her passion for books that she bequeathed to me, along with the Chinese lacquerd tray.

    Narrator: [modern bookshop keeper closes up for the day] How right she was when she said that no one ever feels alone in a bookshop.

  • Florence Green: I learned the trade very thoroughly when I was a girl and I don't believe its changed greatly since then. And more importantly, I know - I love reading.
