Island Bookstore

If a film can clearly see the gender of the director or screenwriter, or the original author, how should it be evaluated? Prejudice?

Still in this male-dominated society, we are used to male voices, and a slightly different voice feels quite different.

Bookstore is one such movie, with a distinctly feminine overtone. The protagonist is also a woman, a struggle between two women.

Florence lives a secluded life, while her bookstore attracts the covetousness of the most powerful woman in town. The other party worked hard and finally drove her and her bookstore out of the town.

How the struggle between the two began. The movie doesn't say it, and I don't understand it either.

The old man's strange love for Florence and his sudden death. Maybe it’s better to have a heart-to-heart connection just when you imagine it in your heart.

    Very nice story. Although Florence's dream was fulfilled and taken away, her will was inherited. Finally, there was no pain for Christine in vain. Unlike the old gentleman who left quietly, the old house went away with a bang.

    The story is flat and charming. Such a big town, but there is no room for a bookstore.

The Bookshop quotes

  • [first lines]

    Narrator: She told me once: "When we read a story, we inhabit it; the covers of the books are like a roof and four walls: a house." She, more than anything else in the world, loved the moment when you've finished a book and the story keeps playing like the most vivid dream in your head.

    [seagulls cawing]

  • Florence Green: What else do people think the old house could be used for? Why have they done nothing about it in the past seven years? There were birds nesting in it. Half the tiles were off the roof and it stank of rats. Wouldn't it be better to fill the place with books for people to look at?

    Mr. Keble: I read before going to sleep, and usually drift off to the Land of Nod by about the third page.

    Florence Green: So you see? Don't you realize how useful books can be?
