Write a letter to yourself or a friend

I know that this movie originated from the little statement between distance and love in the appendix of the book "84 Charing Cross Street".
After reading it, it really feels like, Got e-mail uses network technology to express the spiritual communication between two people. However, I personally like this film better, probably because of the black and white feeling, which originally gives people a nostalgic feeling. And in this age when the Internet is developed, we lack nostalgia, because it is too late for nostalgia, and a number of new things appear in front of us. When busy dealing with new things, few people use letters to communicate in memory of the past. It may also be because I prefer the way of writing letters, because the feeling of waiting for letters, the feeling of receiving letters, so that time flies so eagerly, it makes myself feel alive, because life is full of expectations. I think this may also be the feeling that people who like "84 Charing Cross Street" will also like this movie.
In the film, the heroine lies in bed sick, the mood of receiving the letter, and the expression of reading the letter to the hero is so cute. That kind of cuteness, that kind of smile from the heart, is the magic of faith. If you have forgotten the feeling of writing, then take a long time to write a letter to a friend, maybe you can find that feeling and magic again.

    Xiaopan said that he wanted to watch something lighthearted in the new year, so he thought of this romantic comedy by Lubitsch. The departure of paper and life, the emergence of contradictory love quietly, and the super fast speech speed like shotguns, the love at that time was really classic.

    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.
