When I was watching "Electronic Love Letter" yesterday, I felt like I had seen this type of film. After searching for a long time, I suddenly found this "Street Corner Shop". Judging from the old movies, I like "Singing in the Rain", "Roman Holiday", "What a Beautiful Life", "It Happened One Night" and so on. The black and white picture quality and the rough editing make people not want to watch it. Interesting The story and the humorous style are unforgettable. Many movie plots now seem to be from these old movies. There are still many old movies, and I will slowly find out and watch them.

In "Electronic Love Letter", the hero and heroine communicate through mailboxes, while in "Street Corner Store" they communicate through letters. Nowadays, we basically use WeChat in our mobile phones to communicate. ..." is the time we wait for now, compared to letters, it is much shorter, and the expectations it carries are also much less. I vaguely remember that in elementary school, the Chinese teacher was always teaching us how to write letters, pay attention to the head, pay attention to the address, and don’t forget the zip code. How could I know that the times are changing so fast, and I didn’t use this skill at all. My father went out to work when I was very young, and the only contact with the family was through the phone of my little grandmother's house. That phone was also the first phone near our house. At a fixed time every week, my mother and I would put it down. With everything at hand, I went to my grandma's house to wait for my father's call. The phone calls were all about the parents' shortcoming. Every time my father had not left for a long time, I started to count down the time for him to go home. At that time, I was afraid of missing any call. , When the bell rang, I called my father, and there were a lot of jokes. Now the three people in the family have WeChat, and there will be two or three calls a week, and the sense of anticipation of waiting for a call has never appeared again...
