Everyone buys books online, and the bookstores that accompany us and give us the best time can’t hold back one by one and close down, just like the third pole bookstore not long ago. I don’t want to pay 30% or 40% of the book fee to buy the same book in a brick-and-mortar bookstore, and I don’t want to watch the brick-and-mortar bookstore gradually leave. It's so contradictory, so frustrating. In the movie "you've got mail", Meg Ryan's small neighborhood bookstore can't compete with Tom Hanks' large chain bookstore; large chain bookstores can't compete with today's online book buying model; online book buying is quickly being replaced by e-books.
One day, we need to explain to our descendants what a "book" is, and describe what the old bookstore was like. Like in "84 Charing Cross Street", Helen's girlfriend visited the used bookstore on her behalf and described the bookstore to her in detail:
there were several bookshelves outside the store, and before I went in, I stopped to make sure I was looking for it. book.
It's a bit dark inside and it smells nice before anyone arrives, it's hard to describe it's a mix of musty, dusty, stale, mixed with walls and wood floors.
There was a desk at the back of the bookstore, and a man with a nose like the painter Hogarth sat there. He looked up and said, "I'm sorry, good afternoon, do you need anything?"
"Can I have a look?"
"Of course I can, please." The
bookshelves are all over the place... up to the ceiling, old and gray, like Old oaks that have absorbed years of dust... long since lost their original color. There were magazines for sale, with work by Kluchan, Rickham, and many old British illustrators I didn't know very well. There are also some good old illustrated magazines.

The film "84 Charing Cross Street" is plain, warm and delicate. It describes a simple and sincere relationship. Now you call it a confidante, right? They are separated by oceans and have never met each other for thirty years. Separated by the ocean, it is not unusual now, they are all dating online. Thirty years later, it's a bit more miraculous.
The book's author, Helene Hanff, has been a screenwriter for a lifetime, with no way out. The mail-ordered letters to assist her in writing the script were compiled into a collection, and 84 Charing Cross Street was published, which turned out to be a hit. It is also really heartfelt to plant flowers. The bookstore at 84 Charing Cross Street, England, is long gone, and there are commemorative plaques on the wall to commemorate the event.
Anthony Hopkins plays the English gentleman in this film. Although his acting skills are good, it is a pity that his acting skills are relatively narrow. Later, he turned into a psycho-killer and became popular. What a perverted world.
