From then on, we can get to know each other. From then on, a long-term friendship will start . You can meet all kinds of love in your life, there is the love of a young man who is in the beginning of his love and his heart blushes when he touches his fingers; there is the love that promises each other without marrying; there is a light in the house on the way home late. There is love that is waiting for each other; there is also love that is separated by time and space, or it is too late to meet, quietly staring. The last kind of love, just like the lyrics sing, must be a confidant at the beginning, but not a marriage at the end. This love can be of the opposite sex or of the same sex. She is so precious that many people have never met her in their entire lives. Once met, you will only say: Oh, so you are here. There are two such people in the movie "84 Charing Cross Street". She's a New York writer, a mad lover of books, a single woman whose lover died in World War II; the owner of a second-hand bookstore in London, the father of two, and the husband of a down-to-earth, solid Irish woman. In order to find precious and cheap second-hand books, she wrote the first letter to him on the other side of the ocean. He has since embarked on a journey to help her find books. This walk is 20 years. In the past 20 years, he sent her a book she didn't mention, and she loved it after receiving it; he sent her a bad version of a good book, and she was so angry that she threw it into the bed with a "swoosh" halfway through the book. . The relationship between them has changed from a polite store owner and customer to a familiar friend, until they whisper to the air, imagining each other's appearance. With a poor economy, she once planned to travel across the ocean to visit the bookstore and her friends after receiving a large payment, but she did not make the trip because of an accident. 20 years later, when she received the news of his sudden death, she resolutely came to London, the friends in the bookstore were gone, and the bookstore was about to disappear. Standing in his former office, she said slowly: Frank, here I am. (This shot is absolutely tear gas, TAT)
That's not all of the movie, and the food scarcity experienced by Londoners in that era. When the five people in the bookstore received holiday gifts from female writers - ham, sausages, raisins, and even eggs, how to bring them home to share, which is warm and interesting. And the iconic events of the 1950s-70s, Churchill's second rise to power, the Queen's ascension, the Beatles, the student movement at Columbia University, and more.
I really like the descriptions of books in the movies: parchment, leather, cloth. . . It was an era long gone, the era when books were most beloved.
Anthony Hopkins, who plays the bookstore owner, looks younger than in "Silence of the Lambs", with those almost inhuman eyes, and in this film, the affection that is revealed is just as transcendent. ^^
