"Beijing Meets Seattle 2" brought the story of 84 Charing Cross Street to more people, but in fact, after reading the original book and watching the film, I found that the charm is far more than that.
Because I want to go to London, I want to learn about London through this movie with a very pious heart. And the story of the movie, as expected, quietly captured my heart. Hailian and Frank became attached to each other because of the book, and their emotions for more than 20 years continued in the abrupt end of the film, and the details that attracted me seemed to be the sustenance for our ideal life and emotions.
The character Heidi is an ordinary person with a difficult life. She has a dream of writing a book but has not been able to become a well-known writer. She does not know how long she will go on this road, but she loves reading, and this hobby is enough to enrich her life. . "Go and see England in English literature", "I've never seen a book with gold trim", "I'm used to white paper and hardboard covers in the United States, and I didn't expect a book to feel so pleasant"... Between the lines, Heidi's love for books can't be hidden, which is completely different from reading when we think reading is beneficial. Although she is poor, I am envious of the books in her room. She reads these books, and these books also Because her collection has her story. I agree with her idea of leaving readers’ traces on the title page. In reading, besides communicating with the author, you can also communicate with readers. The superposition of different dimensions will only make the book more flavorful (of course, the premise is that there is no contempt for random graffiti). Behavior).
This person is also very cute. From the conversation with Frank, she is very likable for the quality and persistence of the book itself, her evaluation, and her concern for the bookstore staff. And such a pure character can always be preserved on her body, perhaps because she has always been accompanied by books, without losing her insistence on truth, goodness and beauty.
Heidi didn't get to see Frank's ending in the end, but it's really a bit of a novel and movie technique. Only broken regrets can inspire beauty. But the beginning of the film echoes Heidi's joy at the end, "to do something unfinished". In fact, this regret is also filled. They are not connected because of figurative people, but because books are connected because of thoughts and love , the bookstore is not there, but the temperature is still there.
This film sheds new light on the relationship between people, and even serves as a model. The bookstore would search for Heidi's books for several years and never forget, and Heidi had a lifelong memory of wanting to go to England. For more than 20 years, accompanied by letters, until the gray hair. Above love, this kind of confidant emotion is awe-inspiring. All our lives, we are looking for people who can connect with each other and support each other at a certain point. This story of being connected by a book is really too beautiful! That's a beauty that most of us don't believe, but it's actually what happened, isn't it?
Interpreted as love, it is too narrow. Above love is the beauty of infinite extension. A rich spiritual world is really desirable.
