The movie is about an old-fashioned love story. A pair of happy friends fall in love with each other across the vast network. At first glance at the plot, I saw Tom Hanks cautiously falling in love with the heroine with a cheap mouth. See Meg Ryan relish talking about the "Pride and Prejudice" she has read no less than 200 times, but she doesn't know that her Mr. Darcy is opposite.
After the years passed, the plot of the story started to matter, and I started to just get lost in the details. In autumn in New York, there are bakeries on the roadside, Starbucks on Broadway, supermarkets where the hero and heroine meet, and markets and parks where they hang out on weekends.
▲The film is adapted from Lubitsch's film The Shop Around the Corner from 1940.
▲In order to pay tribute to the classics, the heroine's bookstore is also called The Shop Around the Corner.
▲The bookstore will hold regular reading clubs, and Meg Ryan will wear a cute hat to read stories to the children.
▲The setting of the bookstore is also very thoughtful, with posters of children's books and children's illustrations posted everywhere on the wall.
▲ During festivals, the bookshelves will be decorated with small lanterns and paper-cut paintings.
Such independent bookstores seem to be very rare today. The heroine inherited this bookstore from her mother. She remembers the name of every reader who patronizes the store, and knows children's book writers well. In her own words, her Life is small but valuable. And this kind of life finally came to an end in the competition with the large chain bookstores.
▲After closing the store, the heroine left the empty bookstore by herself. When she turned around, she had the image of being in the bookstore with her mother when she was a child.
▲In addition to the bookstore in the film, the apartment where Meg Ryan lives is also warm and lovely. Mint-green vintage cabinets and patchwork sheets in the bedroom, where the unemployed Meg Ryan is sitting on the floor eating breakfast in thick woollen socks.
▲The kitchen and dining room are separated by checkered glass doors, and vases and woven baskets are pushed above the refrigerator.
▲On the other side of the kitchen, there is a set of operating table and bedroom in the middle.
▲The heroine has a cold, the hero comes to visit with her favorite daisy, Meg Ryan sits on the fabric sofa in the living room and asks why you are coming? Tom Hanks said cautiously that I wanted to be your friend.
▲ Many of the filming locations have also become pilgrimage sites for fans. At the beginning of the film, the intersection where Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks passed by was Verdi Square on Broadway.
▲ The restaurant where the hero and heroine netizens met, Cafe Lalo, is also on Broadway.
Of course, some of the filming locations disappeared from our lives along with The Shop Around the Corner. For example, the bagel shop where Tom Hanks walked his dog was reportedly closed for refusing to add cheese to the bagels, and was replaced by a telecommunications company.
When stories are no longer fresh, it is often the little details of the time that make us smile, and because of this, we can tell these old stories over and over again.
