A cup of warm English black tea on an April evening

"Jumped" 5 movies and stopped me at the very beginning. Helen was sitting in a taxi, turning her head and looking at "Britain in English Literature" with a smile on her face - accurate, appropriate, and beautiful "84 Charing Cross Street", just one word after reading, warm . It's not about love, but it must be love. friendship between people. Never met, separated thousands of miles, communicated friendship for more than 20 years. This is of course part of real life, part of reality. My favorite treatment is the last communication of the film, not facing the stationery, but looking at each other and saying that the UK in 1949 was already a high-rise building and a double-decker bus. "Supply system", each person only provides one egg. . . Seeing how happy Helen is every time she receives a letter and package? Thinking of how she used to go to the post office to fill in the form, send money, and wait for the letter to be sent back to the address in the magazine in her junior high school days. No more~ Later, in order to collect books from authors I like, I also like to buy old books, so I can understand Helen's saying, "I hate that kind of dead white paper. I feel very comfortable just touching it. I know the books from the past. The Lord also has the same understanding and likes.” After years and years, there are very few letters left~~ But the things written on the “disappeared” letters, the color of the paper, and the mood when reading are more than What remains is clearer, deeper, and can't forget people. It's really interesting~ Finally, standing in an empty room and saying "I'm here, Frank, I'm finally here", Helen's several consecutive expressions are all my feelings. . . . It’s so accurate. It seemed to rain at night in April, thinking about Changle Road, the Sunken Plaza in No. 8 Courtyard, and the small shops on Fuxing West Road. . . Perhaps, I also have the same mood as Helen. Every time, I want to sneak in and take a look, without revealing my identity, and then sneak out [When the weather is good, go again~

    1949-1969, 20 years of correspondence. It originated from the search for old books, but saw the establishment of a long-lasting friendship. After the war in 1949, British food was still limited, with 60 grams of meat and 1 egg per household per week, so Helen in the United States traveled across the ocean to mail all kinds of canned meat during various major festivals. As a thank you, the UK mailed tablecloths embroidered by the neighbours. Churchill became prime minister in 195X, the former king died and the queen succeeded. On the day of the enthronement, the national black and white TV broadcast live, and the national anthem sounded and stood solemnly. Brits like football, Americans like baseball. In 196X, the Beatles music became popular in the United Kingdom, and girls wore short skirts. What kind of movement broke out in schools in the United States (is it the black affirmative movement?). The heroine's cheerful personality makes her search for books particularly attractive. The last parting is very sad

    Sincerely, the shades are lovely. Although there are some naive places in shooting and production, the flaws do not hide the flaws.

84 Charing Cross Road quotes

  • Frank P. Doel: [reading "He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" by William Butler Yeats] "Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths, Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

  • Helene Hanff: Somebody gave me this book for Christmas. It's "A Great Modern Library" book. Ever seen one of those? It's less attractively bound than the "Proceedings of the New York State Assembly" and it weighs more. It was a given to me by a gent who knows I'm fond of John Donne. The title of this book is: "The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne *and* the Complete Poetry of William Blake"? The question mark is mine. Will you please tell me what those two boys have in common except - they were both English and they both wrote.
