yearning for

The story of close friendship for nearly 20 years led by buying and selling books. There is not a second of rivalry between the male and female protagonists, but the two actors control the roles so well. Watching this movie, my heart is so peaceful and I feel so warm! I can't see the slightest ambiguity between the two of them, how real this pair of spiritual partners exists, and it makes people yearn for it!!! Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins can really control any role! Especially want to read the book of the same name "84 Charing Cross Street"!

    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.

    Making friends with books is romantic and hopeless. But love it. An old book, a few stories, knowing each other may just happen. Although Frank and Helen did not meet in the end, this is how life is, with regret and imperfection accompanied, who can say that such a story is not beautiful. PS It turns out that Frank is the evil professor in The Silence of the Lambs~ A bit unexpected

84 Charing Cross Road quotes

  • 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.
