In the movie, when he read the letter that Helen couldn't go to London as scheduled, Frank said that she would not come, at least not for the time being. His eyes were filled with the kind of disappointment that the passionate hope had been extinguished, and the corner of his mouth drew a trace. The unknown wry smile to hide the disappointment made me feel very distressed. I wish Helen was just joking in the letter that she wasn't coming, and everyone was standing at the door waiting to surprise them.
When Helen gave gifts to the bookstore employees who were in short supply, they wrote letters to reply to Helen's kindness, the care between strangers, whether it was the person who gave it or the person who received it, it was sincere and touching, and the relationship between people Isn't the connection gradually become very strong and long-lasting through such mutual care and concern.
I know a little bit about the British. They are a country with a long history and a sense of national pride. Like us, we have almost abandoned all the good things of our ancestors after going through many changes. The British humor, Self-deprecating and unassuming rigor are passed down from generation to generation. Many of them are very knowledgeable and their jobs are very ordinary, but if you talk to him, you can find his interesting soul and ubiquitous gentleman's spirit, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Frank was a typical English gentleman. He would sit on a park bench and watch girls in short skirts carry machines with The Beats music outside, and then talk to Helen about The Beats; Tell his wife nice taste; he will read Helen's letter to the sick clerk when he visits him; his upbringing is as quiet as his rich talent, but it is silent.
Another most impressive point is Helen's attitude towards books.
"Every year in spring, I'll have a 'big clearance', throwing away some books I'll never read again, just like I'll throw away the clothes I'll never wear again. Surprised, in my opinion, the way they love books is weird. They buy a new bestseller and read it as if they're done, and I always think they're too scribbled. Never reread those books, and in less than a year, the contents of the books have been thrown into the clouds by them."
She doesn't read bestsellers or novels, but likes to read old books. What she likes the most is to read the chapters or paragraphs she likes, and there are just the notes or annotations of the previous reader, which will make her particularly satisfied.
I like this kind of reading very much, and it also coincides with me. I also like to read old books, and I like to see other people's labels in them, as if I'm spying on the mood of the previous person. If it happens to coincide, I'm very satisfied. Based on this mood, my new books are always marked by me, and because of this, my colleagues criticize me for not loving books. It is also for this reason that I am always cautious when I go to the library to borrow books, for fear that my "bad habits" will make me responsible.
But I don't have a close friend like Helen. I did everything possible to collect all kinds of beautifully packaged old books for her to read, so that she could have the opportunity to talk about the signature on the title page and the handwriting of the key paragraphs. Most of the old books I encountered were kept by the previous owner as if they were new books, without a single handwriting or signature left, and I never spied on his likes and dislikes.
"All mankind is a book, and when a man dies, it is not torn from the page, but translated into another and better language, and every chapter must be so translated, God has employed several translators man, some articles are translated by age, some by disease, some by war, some by justice, but the hand of God will rebond our broken pages and put them into that library where each book will be opened to each other "Dunn's article is suitable for reading aloud, and it really makes sense. I originally wanted to share this original sentence with others, but I couldn't find it in the book. I thought it was an extension of the movie.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Jianming, the Chinese translator of "84 Charing Cross Street", is also an operator of a second-hand bookstore. People who love books probably have a similar complex, just like old drunkards drink the taste of wind in whisky. , as little children can hear the sound of the sea in their shells, is an obsession.
Helen had been thinking about going to London, but it didn't happen until Frank died. I still remember Helen in the movie turning her back to the setting sun and saying, "If you pass by there, please give me a kiss, I owe him a lot." Tears came to her eyes. In the end, the book did not explain that Helen had been to London, but the film chose to visit the bookstore after Frank died. This extension is not pretentious, but it brought the whole book down to a high level, and the shortcomings are worth remembering.
The unfinished emotions and details in the book are confronted directly in the movie, which makes people feel unfulfilled, and the unspeakable feeling is like a throat, and it is depressed for several days.
Therefore, it is recommended to read books first, and then go to the movies. The eyes of the movie will make people unexpectedly gain.
