Although this film is completely loyal to Helene Hanff's "84 Charing Cross Street", I am very moved by his connection to the content of each letter. I want to say that the director feels the same about this book of readers as I do.
Because I am loyal to the original work, and the actors I choose are also very suitable for the character, and the content of the letter and the links of each part are handled very well. I am very satisfied with the love for this original work. This arrangement, the evaluation of this film It's more of a return to the original feeling.
The 20-year correspondence between Helene Hanff and Max and Frank Del, the manager of Cohen's bookstore, about buying books gives us a sense that they are in love, and refuses to say it's an illusion. Indeed, Hailian's brisk American language and love of British classical literature connect her with Frank Del, who shares her hobby. One is a fiery Aries, the other should be dull and reserved. A Virgo gentleman in London (Virgo is a guess), one is creating literature in a dilapidated apartment in the United States, and the other is collecting and selling old books at 84 Charing Cross Street in London, England. They are both lovers of books. People are also restrained and romantic people with feelings. In their 20-year correspondence with each other, there are no words about love, but tears are shed while reading, because the love that is about understanding is deeply hidden. In the cracks of this book about books, deeply repressed, understood love is not necessarily possessive, but beautiful.
After her husband died in the World War, Hailene Hanff remained unmarried. Her obsession with British classical literature made the bridges, roads and people in England accompany her in her lifelong loneliness, although she has never experienced Britain in reality. It's profound, but it feels the taste of Britain in the heavy books and classic British films. What a persistent person Helene Hanff is.
She loved Frank Del, and so did Frank. This will not be speculation of our readers, and even if it is, we hope it is a beautiful truth! We expect this kind of love that is understood and expected, and we long for the kind of relationship that never regrets. Although the two people are not together, they have not even expressed such expectations, but their love still exists.
Loving someone will be for various reasons. I prefer the impulse that comes from the heart, rather than a realistic decision after measurement, because love is beautiful! I believe in the fate in the dark, and I also look forward to the heartbeat of every encounter. Maybe the love and letters in the future will be missed, but I still hope that each other can find resonance in the books.
By then, I look forward to being able to say: Falling in love with you is the best thing I've ever done!
