    If it weren't for the tragic tone of the original work itself, the skillful performances of the actors, and the fairly refined costumes that elevate the film a few levels, this must have been a mediocre or even a failed adaptation. Once again, it proves that not all literature is suitable for filming. The small bookstore evokes all kinds of things in the world. The hostess is single-handedly wrestling with everyone. Since it is titled "Bookstore", the power that can be conveyed in words at this moment may be far away. higher than the image.

The Bookshop quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: For years to come, I will remember how she tried to smile looking at the book I had in my hands. Then, she realized what I had done. She had fulfilled the dream and they'd snatched it away from her. But what she possessed deep down was something no one could ever take away from her: her courage. And it was that courage and her passion for books that she bequeathed to me, along with the Chinese lacquerd tray.

    Narrator: [modern bookshop keeper closes up for the day] How right she was when she said that no one ever feels alone in a bookshop.

  • Florence Green: I learned the trade very thoroughly when I was a girl and I don't believe its changed greatly since then. And more importantly, I know - I love reading.
