The film is adapted from the letter collection of the same name by American writer Helene Hanff. The film depicts the legendary friendship spanning 20 years between New York writer Helena and Mark's bookstore manager Del. There is not too much impetuousness, the film just tells the story of two book lovers, but after watching it, it makes people warm and fascinating.
In the 1950s, the United Kingdom was still in the recovery period after World War II. There was a lot of waste waiting to be done. The sun never set and the empire was no longer beautiful. Even food needed to be rationed. The United States was already the world's hegemon, and the British bookstore manager Frank and the American female writer Hai. It was at such a time that Lian came into contact by chance. They are all book lovers and have a near-perfect pursuit of books. Of course, they never imagined that they would be able to harvest such a warm friendship across the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In the past 20 years, they have trusted/helped each other. Although they only exchanged letters, they have gained a sincere relationship.
In our life, we always have this kind of longing and yearning for love and friendship. We always hope that the other party has the same taste as us, but we always find a balance in disappointment. Looking at each other is sometimes just a show, how can you dare to have extravagant hopes if you don't even see each other? But the reality is so ironic, it can also be said to be so romantic, no one is an island, as long as you want, you can always find a similar soul.
