If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me

There are very few movies like this now. There is no earth-shattering love, no story of ups and downs, and no grand climax. It is just a story of decades of mail-order second-hand books between a New York writer Helen and a London bookstore. There are the streets of London, the poetry of Ye Ci, and more of the decades of correspondence between female writers and bookstore executive Frank. Frank tries to find books for the female writer, and the writer sends food to the bookstore to thank him---------. The narration of the film is connected through letters, showing some details of life, the warmth of interpersonal relationships, and the friendship between Helen and Frank, who know each other but do not meet each other. Become the person who knows each other best in the world.
Tranquil and peaceful movie, just like life. Life is just like first seeing, first seeing is worse than seeing each other.

Musical motives throughout, why so playful is this just British humor? But the heroine's pale and old face reveals long-term loneliness. This is an extremely restrained movie. From the casting, language to the plot, it seems that she is afraid that because of the abundance of emotions, the purity of the book will be tarnished.

Frank P. Doel: [reading "He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" by William Butler Yeats] "Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths, Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

Helene Hanff: Somebody gave me this book for Christmas. It's "A Great Modern Library" book. Ever seen one of those? It's less attractively bound than the "Proceedings of the New York State Assembly" and it weighs more. It was a given to me by a gent who knows I'm fond of John Donne. The title of this book is: "The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne *and* the Complete Poetry of William Blake"? The question mark is mine. Will you please tell me what those two boys have in common except - they were both English and they both wrote.
