When the storm hits in the film, when Mr.Morris Lessmore chases his own red book in the wind, the contrast of the picture reminds me of the one that appeared in the background of black and white crowd in "Schindler's List" The little girl in the red dress is like a little hope in the hopelessness, that smear of red, the red is so fiery, it is enough to burn the silent black and white.
And in the middle, the tension of the whole library when rescuing that antique book that fell apart, the joy when the book is read, the way people are attracted when they read it -- that's also very appealing to me. A book will also collapse due to aging, reborn because it is cherished and read, and the approval from others changes its destiny.
Actually, what I am curious about is why Mr.Morris Lessmore appeared in the library at 97, and left the library at 11 or 12 to be a new librarian with a younger and beautiful girl--is there a reason behind this? Is there a metaphor for the economy of today's society? ? His work in the library has always been directed by a book man, Mr. Egghead/Onion Head.
