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.

Love because of the book, what a friendship that lasts forever, doesn't need too much media and doesn't need the depth of familiarity between the two, this is the legendary soulmate. The saucy and cheerfulness of an older woman and the sluggishness of a middle-aged bookstore owner, New York's trendy and London's retro. People who love books have a lot of love for this. The heroine said that she likes to turn to the pages of books that others have turned. It feels good to have like-minded people with predecessors, which is also the reason why I love second-hand books.

People who love books, not love, but a deep friendship that understands each other and trusts each other. It is really endearing to see an older literary and artistic young woman become middle-aged and become old, a pungent and critical but kind-hearted poor and sour female writer, not to mention that the heroine is so charming when she smiles. Looking at New York VS London from the end of the 1940s to the end of the 1960s, the changes in the world and the exchange of life with friends on the other side of the ocean are very warm, but it is a pity that we have never met.

Helene Hanff: Being used to the dead white paper and the stiff cardboardy covers of American books, I never knew a book could be such a joy to the touch.

Helene Hanff: [typing] WHAT KIND OF A BLACK PROTESTANT BIBLE IS THIS! Kindly inform the Church of England they have loused up the most beautiful prose even written. Who ever taught Dr. Tindall the Vulgate Latin. They'll burn for it, mark my words. It's nothing to me, I'm Jewish myself, but I have a Catholic sister-in-law, a Methodist sister-in-law, a whole raft of Presbyterian cousins, through my late Uncle Abraham who was converted, and an aunt who's a Christian Science healer. And I'd like to think none of them would countenance an Anglican Latin Bible if they knew it existed. As it happens, they don't know Latin existed.
