There are two most memorable scenes:
Helen read Dunn's poems in the sunlit room while playing Bach's Fugue: All mankind is a book, and when a man dies, it is not that a chapter is deleted from the book, but to be translated into a better language, every chapter must be so translated, God employs several translators, some articles are translated by age, some by disease, some by war, some by justice. Translation, but the hand of God will re-glue our broken pages into the library, and each book will open to the other.
Frank sits in a curbside chair, time never waits for anyone: getting old and hurried without getting rich. Tourists came and went, and everyone watched each other only from a safe distance.
Helen and Frank's half-life correspondence is enviable. This kind of romantic beauty that seems to only appear in books is even more difficult to find in today's instant messaging.
The scene of Helen crying after learning of Frank's death didn't touch me. Instead, it was Nora's sentence: "Life is so interesting". The only line repeated in the film is Frank's two speeches to the breakfast prepared by his wife Nora. "Very nice, verytasty", sometimes the people who get along with each other are not as touched and tacit as those who are thousands of miles away. Is it because of the habitual boredom of what has been acquired or because of the expectation of the mystery far away, anyway lack of depth It must be a pity for the humble, erudite and gentle Frank to have a marriage that is compatible with communication and soul. Later, when I saw Helen trembling with grief in the pile of books, she couldn't help but tears in her eyes. I have also experienced this feeling of loss and powerlessness. After all, it is difficult for most people to be desperate when they have it. It can only be reviewed after the fact: life without regrets is not perfect, talk to self-comfort.
