"The Corner Shop" VS "Electronic Love Letter" The real world and the letter space are inconsistent, so true love is all around you

The work of drama master Liu Bieqian, starring James Stewart and the cute and lovely Margaret Sullivan. The hero and heroine working in a corner store, competing and disagreeable colleagues, each have one The pen pal with the same mind, but I don’t know that the pen pal I admired is actually an unpleasant enemy in reality. The two people found out that Jongran had feelings for each other in a verbal battle. After some beautiful misunderstandings, the lovers finally got married. In the film, the two agreed to meet as pen pals, using carnations as a secret code. This episode was reproduced in the later remake of "Electronic Love Letters" (starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan). The electronic love letters retain the main body. The story frame and the humorous and warm style transplanted the act of letter writing to the emerging network communication, and also adapted the conflict between the two into a traditional bookstore and a new book building, which is more in line with the lifestyle and thinking logic of contemporary people. It is worth a visit. Mention is Meg Ryan's bookstore called The Corner Shop, to pay tribute to the old version of the film.

True love is just around the corner. The conflict between reality and virtual imagination makes it easy to blind yourself and you can’t find your true self. Once upon a time, such warm-hearted movies were very popular. When they were students, both TV and DVD would occupy the must-see list. China, but now it's almost extinct, it's a pity to think about it. In today's urban society, people live very hard and work unhappy. It is good to watch some warm and sweet films, but it is a pity that it is difficult to see them again. That being the case, let yourself relive the joy of chasing drama in the past in your warm home.

    The handling of exposing the truth is really daunting, really daring. Possibly the most ingenious film in which Lubitsch ridiculed the dramatization, and it was done in a complete staged space. This cunning is simply exquisite.

    4.7 The light on the faces of the characters is beautiful. The details are cute, the dialogue is interesting, and the image of the stubborn female Wenqing does not make people feel annoying, but makes people feel unrealistic and cute. Stewart's image is so good, his personality is humorous, smart and careful, and the rest of the characters are also very cute and interesting, especially the old colleague of the clerk. (My favorite line: "Hope is an ordinary and lovely girl.")
