After reading the original book, find a movie that is also called a classic to watch. I don't often watch old movies, and I don't think I appreciate the pictures and the clothes of the characters, but this movie doesn't. With the scenes of the old movies coming into view, the heart is easy to calm down.

The image of Hailian is not the Hailian I imagined, but she is very similar to the real Hailian.

Let’s talk about some impressive scenes.

1. Hailian finally got on the plane to London. When she finally arrived at 84 Charing Cross Street by taxi, what greeted her was not a bookstore full of books on the shelves, and there was no warm welcome. Everything It was a silent void, dusty everywhere. So far, she has not only lost the kindhearted person who found her book, but also the witness of 20 years of transnational friendship.

2. In one year, an American tourist came to the bookstore, and Frank thought it was a "long-awaited" customer. According to Hailian's character, it is hard to guarantee that there would not be a sudden surprise. He stood up from the table and walked like the figure, until the address that the tourist said was not the one that was deeply embedded in his mind, his footsteps stopped, the light in his eyes dimmed, it turned out that it was not her after all.

3. Frank's last letters "before the curtain ended" were dictated by him and Hailian across the screen. At that time, he was already dying, and the hope in his eyes was no longer there, suggesting that his life was about to come to an end, etc. Not coming to that long-awaited "guest". "Yes, we are all fine." At this point, the tears could no longer be stopped. After all, this life has passed.

"I'm here at last," Hai Lian finally said. Although she regretted it, she finally went to the appointment. May we have regrets in our youth.

84 Charing Cross Road quotes

  • Frank P. Doel: [reading "He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" by William Butler Yeats] "Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths, Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

  • Helene Hanff: Somebody gave me this book for Christmas. It's "A Great Modern Library" book. Ever seen one of those? It's less attractively bound than the "Proceedings of the New York State Assembly" and it weighs more. It was a given to me by a gent who knows I'm fond of John Donne. The title of this book is: "The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne *and* the Complete Poetry of William Blake"? The question mark is mine. Will you please tell me what those two boys have in common except - they were both English and they both wrote.
