On the reasons for the failure of Ms. Florence's struggle

I can only say that I admire Ms. Florence, because she is a very courageous person, but she still lacks a little wisdom.

Why can the rich and powerful always have a dominant position? Because they have weapons in their hands that ordinary people do not have.

In this film, Ms. Ramat's weapon, without a doubt, is the law.

Ramat could justifiably clear Florence by changing the law through his connections at the top of the political circle and through "due process" to define old houses as uninhabitable houses.

In this respect, Ms. Florence can only be said to be too tender.

You don't have strong allies, you don't understand the rules of the game, and you don't have a weapon in your hands that can stand up to others. If it's a war, how can you win? !

In fact, this is also a kind of tragedy for society.

It is true that everyone is equal before the law, but in the end, the law is still serving a small number of people, but through a relatively complicated method.

In this world, only the dreams of those in power are dreams, and ordinary people do not deserve to have dreams.

    Nice adaptation. Originally shot in Northern Ireland. There is no difference between art clothing and bbc films. Although this is emily mortimer's play, I want to say that bill nighy is the soul

    2018.07.28 The feeling of a mild version of "Dogtown", although Bill Nighy has become a fine, but I really can't stand Emily Mortimer and Patricia Clarkson wearing the hat of "goddess", as always, the sloppy acting, the teenage girl Better than you two!

The Bookshop quotes

  • [first lines]

    Narrator: She told me once: "When we read a story, we inhabit it; the covers of the books are like a roof and four walls: a house." She, more than anything else in the world, loved the moment when you've finished a book and the story keeps playing like the most vivid dream in your head.

    [seagulls cawing]

  • Florence Green: What else do people think the old house could be used for? Why have they done nothing about it in the past seven years? There were birds nesting in it. Half the tiles were off the roof and it stank of rats. Wouldn't it be better to fill the place with books for people to look at?

    Mr. Keble: I read before going to sleep, and usually drift off to the Land of Nod by about the third page.

    Florence Green: So you see? Don't you realize how useful books can be?
