There will be no more such stories. In the old days of underdeveloped information, waiting made everything more meaningful and better. I miss the days when you had to go to bookstores or bookstands to buy books. Only people in that era knew the ecstasy of receiving a book they liked, so the book became extraordinarily precious.
The movie is very beautiful. Frank, the clerk, looked for cheap but meaningful books for strangers with his heart. The right person should have the right book. At that time, the clerk loved books, understood books, and shared books. Anthony created a somewhat rigid and rich hearted book. gentleman. The writer Helen thanked the clerks for their efforts and sent the scarce living materials for everyone. Every clerk wanted to be friends with Helen. As a book friend who is a god, all this is normal. What's even better is that although Helen missed the chance to meet Frank, she went to London with gratitude and a smile after Frank's death. Perhaps, the important thing is not to meet, they have met each other, even if they are thousands of miles apart.
Letters should be an indispensable way of expression, but unfortunately people are too stingy to spend time and energy on such an emotional thing. Text messages, phone calls, WeChat, Weibo, fast and casual, not bad, but sometimes, we need to be serious and delicate in letters, and we need to wait and think.
I don't know why everyone likes to type on a typewriter, isn't the written word more emotional? However, when I see the printer, I still feel very cordial. I used to own a mechanical printer too, and in the early '90s it was too precious a gift for me. I told my parents that printers play a huge role in learning English. Now it seems that my parents are willing to buy them because they are used to their children! The printer makes me feel different, and I am especially willing to help my classmates to type the English paper. The clicking sound of mechanical keys is so textured, it seems that my life taste has improved all of a sudden. Unfortunately, after graduation, the printer was lent to a friend by my father, and was never found. It's a pity that the printer that can show my high-end life can't be placed in my living room as a souvenir.
The male and female protagonists speak to the camera. This way of shooting feels quite modern, especially making Helen look so self-sufficient and free and easy.
Everything needs a chance. For me, just after watching "The Graduate" and watching this movie, the time is just right. I see a different heroine, and I also see a melancholy time.
