The oil tanker slowly left the shore carrying the lonely Florence and her suitcase, and she calmly looked into the distance. At this time, Christine's shout came from a distance, Florence turned her head, and the little girl was holding a book and beckoning to her! At this time, she was surprised to find that the "Old House Bookstore" and the century-old house she had worked so hard to manage were being submerged in thick flames and billowing black smoke!
This is the last scene of the 2017 British, German and Spanish co-production film "The Bookstore".
The movie "Bookstore" tells the story of a very courageous middle-aged woman - Florence and her old house bookstore.
The protagonist, Florence, is an elegant and noble reader who has always dreamed of opening a bookstore. So, many years after her husband died, she plucked up the courage, used up all her savings, rented an old house in a secluded rural town, and started running an "Old House Bookstore" by herself.
This is a quiet, closed town, where people live their own self-righteous lives. At first, no one thought that people in the town needed to read. However, because of Florence's insistence, a series of changes have taken place here.
The elites in the town - the general and his wife also noticed that they took a series of shady means and methods to obstruct and interfere with the operation of the bookstore.
The General's wife used her money and power to revise the relevant laws and instigated some puppets - bankers, lawyers, reporters and officials to secretly manipulate. In the end, Florence lost her beloved bookstore.
Let me tell you, what do I admire about human beings? The virtue I value most is what they share with the gods and animals, I mean; courage.
This is what Mr. Brondisi said to the heroine in the film.
There are only two people in the town who stand firmly behind her: Christine, the little girl, and Mr. Browndisey, the old gentleman.
Christine was a little girl who helped in the bookstore. She said at first that she didn't like reading and came to help Florence. In the end, she became a supporter of the bookstore and burned the greed of the general's wife. .
Although Florence's bookstore was closed, the seeds of the bookstore were left; when she grew up, Christine owned a bookstore of her own, because she understood: You will never feel lonely in a book.
Mr. Browndisi was an eccentric, old-fashioned reader, and a gentleman of high moral character. He did not like to interact with people, but because of his reading, because of the fusion and communication of ideas, he became Florence's most trustworthy person. friend.
How I wish I could meet you at other moments in my life, in another life to be exact, but I'm still going to do my little bit to help you.
Mr. Blondisi personally went to the General's house for the sake of Florence's bookstore to question him. The friendship between him and Florence was very touching. This spiritual resonance that transcends material things is the most beautiful and precious feeling in life. Really hard to come by.
Leo Tolstoy said: Courage is the inevitable result of wisdom and a certain degree of education.
In the film, Florence lost her husband and worked hard for her dream alone. Amid the skepticism of people in the town and the ruthless suppression of the powerful class, she did not give in and fought hard. Everyone should admire and appreciate it. Her courage!
It is a blessing to meet a confidant like Mr. Brondisi on the road of life. He will be a beacon, follow you silently, help you light up the darkness, and guide you to a better place.
In reality, we often see pictures from movies:
Florence carried the suitcase, closed the door, left her old house bookstore, and got on the ferry. No one came to see him off. Under the camera are faces silently peeping out of the window: numb, indifferent, hideous, this is a group of lives that have lost their souls.
There may be a big gap between beautiful ideals and cruel reality, but at any time, we must not lose the courage to face difficulties. Because no one can take away what she has in her heart.
