People who love to read have always had an inexplicable attraction to me

Watching this movie belongs to the blind box movie. Someone recommended it in the circle of friends. They only know the name and genre of the movie, and don't know anything about the rest, but it is enough to know that it is a good movie. Practice has proved that it is indeed good.

The first thing that attracted me was the outfits of the characters in the play and the scenery of the small town, which was the feeling of a European town, very beautiful. Next is the plot, because I don't read much, so I have always had a sense of admiration and curiosity for people who like to read and love reading. When the heroine opened a bookstore in this small town, I wanted to know what happened later. .

What surprised me even more was that, through sending books and letters, the young heroine even met an older and mysterious soul mate, and gained a short-lived divine love. It is a pity that the male protagonist did not hesitate to break the principle for the female protagonist and left the long-lived house to find someone for a theory, but he also ended his life unexpectedly. This reminds me of "The Elegance of the Hedgehog". The male and female protagonists are finally met and fall in love at first sight. They have different identities but are attracted by each other's souls, but not long after the female protagonist died in a car accident in order to save people, what a pity distressed. So is this play. After the male protagonist died, no one could help the female protagonist. The female protagonist was driven out of the town by the power, and only the little girl who worked in her shop came to see her. The smart and brave girl understood her suffering, so If a bookstore is set on fire, I would rather destroy it than let it become a tool for those in power to make money. The little girl who didn't like to read wrote this story and opened a bookstore when she grew up. The heroine influenced the little girl's life.

To be honest, the ending was unexpected but very satisfying. The heroine bravely faced the power and opened a bookstore. Although she did not succeed in the end, she tried her best to do everything she should do. The bookstore is her soul sustenance, what else is there to do? What would be more comforting to her, who was about to leave, than destroying her?

There is a paragraph at the beginning of the film, which probably means: After reading the book, she always likes to walk a long distance, sit quietly, and think about everything in the book. This description is similar to what I feel after watching a movie. Whenever I watch a movie, I always have to sit quietly for a while, staring at the screen with the ending and subtitles playing, and I do nothing. The scene in the film was also beautifully shot. The sea breeze ruffled her skirt, and the weeds blocked her face, but she could always see her beautiful silk scarf fluttering.

    Christine: You're so bloody kind.

  • Narrator: [Voice over] Mr. Brundish lived alone in the oldest house in Hardborough. He didn't particularly like his own company, but after long years of battle, he had reached a lasting truce with himself. He adored books with the same passion with which he detested his fellow men.
