Defend life, defend dreams.

From the "Dictionary" and "The Book of the Boat" to this OED editor "Legend", I really have no resistance to this movie. Behind the turmoil of the great era, the dictionaries loaded with national traditions are no longer shelved, penetrating the nostalgia of generations, and spanning historical time and space. Will we still be touched by a piece of sweet fragrance? Of course, what is intensively presented on the screen are those editors who have been forgotten or even unknown. Their bright heads and perseverance, resistance or silence, in today’s context are more like an interpretation of the "old world" civilization. The lyrical elegy that is spread by the fire, the tune is always revolving with the phrase "It lives on". I couldn't help thinking of Lu Lao Shenxian and the "English-Chinese Dictionary", as well as the dictionary editors who raced against time day and night.

I have seen a lot of movies adapted from novels, but for various reasons, I always see the movie first before I am interested in the original. This is the first time I first read a book and then discovered a movie, and I finally understand why all film adaptations disappoint readers of the novel. Coincidentally, I watched the movie less than half a month after reading the novel, so I was deeply impressed. I don't like all the adaptations of this movie, and Sean Penn's character creation is disappointing. Without further ado, if the audience is interested in this story, please read the novel, I sincerely recommend it.
