The Shop Around the Corner

The title can sum up the film in one sentence, but I really don't know how warm it is without watching it again. Unlike modern commercial films, which used various props too much to convey information to the audience, the strongest expressive force of that era came from the superb performances of the actors and the carefully thought out lines of the screenwriter.
The United States in 1940 was outside World War II, which was as beautiful and serene as the emotions in the film. In a small department store, there are office politics, family topics, life dilemmas, and life situations.
The relationship between the male and female protagonists was not peaceful at first, perhaps it was a foreshadowing of the film's deliberate arrangement, and for the ending of the two people's recognition of each other, a foreshadowing that was conducive to a turning point was laid.
With the rapid development of information technology, meeting pen pals has evolved into meeting netizens, but there is no more implicit and pure love.

    The old version has the unique warmth and fun of black and white Lubitsch; the new version also has the chic romance of the new version, I think it's good

    The supporting roles are very funny. The male protagonist hates music boxes and the female protagonist gives them music boxes. The male protagonist likes wallets and says that putting photos in the wallets is also a wonderful piece of music. After the female protagonist praised the idea, she decided to give them wallets. Then a male colleague V said that he hated someone, so he wanted to give that person a music box, a gift that the other person didn't like at all. The heroine then realized that she wanted to send what the other party liked instead of what she liked, and decided to send a clip. V colluded with the male lead
