It has the charm of British movies, and the important things happen in the details. I watched it for Bill Nighy, and I wasn't disappointed at all, especially in the afternoon tea scene between the old man and Florence, those subtle movements, words, and pauses were absolutely incredible. Patricia Clarkson also has a few very good scenes, and Emily Mortimer does a good job in awkward scenes too haha. In terms of plot, the second half is completely unexpected, but it makes people hope that this movie will fall into a cliché, so that I can feel more at ease. In addition: the celebrity party in the Gamart estate, the old money pretending to be spring breeze is actually extremely rude, and the greasiness of speculators who only spend their time on people who are in their favor, very real; "Hurricane Jamaica" 》I borrowed it from the library in the past few years, and it has been a shadow for children since then, but I am very good at being weird like Christine; I have always agreed with the very American principle of "don't work with asshole", But now I feel that the precepts of guarding against villains are more important in Chinese wisdom.

I thought it was a warm story about a seaside town where no one was reading books, but I didn't expect it to be so heart-wrenching. The widow is full of hope to open a bookstore for her deceased husband, but it has become the target of public criticism. Although the movie shows the British tone and sense of ritual incisively and vividly, it still cannot hide the ugly faces of the town residents. "Civilized people" put down their so-called tone and tore their mask; the widow threw prejudice and objection into the trash can with the fishbone, and shouted at the perpetrator, but in the end, they couldn't fight the aggressive vicious woman. The first sold "Fahrenheit 451" formed a clever intertext with the burning old house bookstore at the end of the film - whether it is a book or a movie, the book has become a stick in the throat. But fortunately, the ending gave a touch of warmth, and also gave the "book" an explanation, "you will not be alone if you are accompanied by a book."
