The first time I read "84 Charing Cross Street", I felt extremely boring, and the content of the letters back and forth was confusing and boring. It was just a matter of buying and selling books across the ocean. The Book Lover's Bible"? Then I put it down for nearly 2 months and didn't pick it up again. I didn't pick it up again until I fell asleep alone in the middle of the night and wanted to read this book to sleep well. Maybe the silent loneliness in the middle of the night suddenly made me feel the same as Helen Hanff. A look out of control.
After reading the whole book, my inner emotion has always been superficial, but I just feel that two men and women who have become attached to the book have never met each other for more than 20 years and it is a pity. But after watching the movie, when those vivid characters and stories are presented in the video, everything comes alive! At the beginning of the movie, Hailian walked into the deserted bookstore and was touched by the scene, and tears started rolling in my eyes.
Hailian is a lively and optimistic female writer. Even if she is poor, she can still draw infinite joy and vitality from her life and books, which is like the spirit of freedom and optimism in the United States; and Frank is also a gentleman. Even the way he dresses and behaves is what he thinks a gentleman should look like. It is such two people with completely different personalities, but they have the same aesthetic and understanding of books. For 20 years, they have constantly exchanged their reading lists and their feelings after reading with each other. In other words, it is very rare to be able to find a person who can intersect with one's own spiritual world, and this acquaintance is even more precious because of the long-distance letter link.
Hailian is frank and sincere, and she puts all her good and bad between the lines without any reservations. She also boldly said to Frank: "You are the only one who understands me." In fact, this is not the case for Frank. The joy when he learned that Hailian is about to embark on a journey to London, and the frustration that Hailian cannot reach. Although he still hides his emotions like an English gentleman, why can't his clear mind be different? People noticed, so after Frank's death, he mentioned in his lover's letter to Helena, "I used to be very jealous of you, because Frank loved reading your letters so much during his lifetime." If two people whose souls are so compatible, if they really meet, how will the story develop?
Hailian has never been married since then, and the bookstore at No. 84 Charing Cross Street can understand her mind. When the owner passed away, Frank passed away. When No. 84 no longer existed, a very important part of Hailian's heart was dug up. empty. The place she has been fascinated by her whole life, when she walked in, it was already a matter of people and people, and it was wireless and desolate. With the closure of No. 84, Hailian has no one to communicate with and entrust her friendship with. So far, Hailian is really alone in the world.
