I really like this movie. The story takes place in a small seaside town in the UK that I love. A woman who became a widow due to war loves to read. She was sitting on the grass by the beach, holding a book, the sea breeze was blowing her hair, she was looking at the sea, the picture was really beautiful. Another widowed gentleman in the town who also loves to read would also go for a walk by the sea, looking at her behind her with admiration in his eyes.
One day, this woman who loves to read suddenly wanted to open a bookstore in an old house in the town that had not been lived in for a long time. After she had this idea, she started to act. When I went to the bank to find a loan, the manager of the bank who looked like a "potato" stopped him in various ways, saying that people here don't read at all, and that he would fall asleep after reading three pages at night. The hostess said humorously: "Look, this is Isn't that what books do?"
Although there were various obstacles, the brave heroine still opened the bookstore. She carefully and carefully held each book and put it on the bookshelf, and the old house gradually warmed up. I don't know where I read a sentence before: "The best decoration in a home is a book!" At this moment, I feel that this sentence is really right. After the book lived in this old house, the old house immediately became noble and elegant and full of bookish air. At the beginning, everyone from all walks of life told the heroine that opening this bookstore was wasteful and superfluous, and would not make money. However, after the bookstore opened, the business was very good. There was an endless stream of people at the door, and there were even complaints of traffic jams. It can be seen that people love books more than they can imagine at any time and anywhere.
The hostess's bookstore hindered the nobles in the town's plan to open an art center in the old house, so the lady began to try all kinds of methods and means to force the hostess away. British nobles are capable of participating in the revision of laws and regulations. And the formula, the heroine has no background and no power, and in the end, she is naturally suppressed and has no power to fight back. At this time, the gentleman who had been away from the world for decades stepped forward and ran to the door with the last of his strength to find the lady's theory and let her let go of the woman who opened the bookstore. But his theory didn't work. Instead, he lost his life because he was too emotional.
The heroine lost her confidant and was about to lose the bookstore. She was in pain. She lay quietly on the floor of the bookstore, saying goodbye to her dream and her bookstore. There are many scratches and scars on the wooden floor of the old house. The hostess is lying on it, like being hugged by the floor with temperature and history. It looks very warm.
At the end of the film, the heroine loses her bookstore and leaves the town by boat with a suitcase. Several people in the town who were preventing her from opening a bookstore watched vigilantly from behind the window on the screen and looked at us outside the screen, and also watched the heroine leave. Their plan succeeded. However, at this time, the little girl who had been helping the hostess to take care of the bookstore, carrying the book that the hostess sent her to her, and before she came, she set the old house on fire, and the hostess looked at the girl and looked at the fire in the distance The old house, she knew that the little girl's heart to read was enlightened by her, and the nobles did not get the old house as they wished.
I like the clothes of the heroine in the film. She is wearing a floral skirt and a small cape with very matching colors, which is retro and elegant. I like the music in the film, it's classical and emotional. I also like the photography of the film. The back of the heroine standing by the sea is like an art painting.
The most exciting scene when watching the movie was the porcelain plate where the heroine was drinking tea. She told the little girl that it was brought back from Nanjing, China by her grandfather who likes to travel. As if they had some kind of connection, he jumped up excitedly and paused to look at the pattern on the porcelain plate, as if the people in the Ming Dynasty were playing Cuju. Later, the hostess gave the porcelain plate to the little girl who helped her manage the bookstore according to her promise. The little girl inherited her antique porcelain plate and her wish. She later opened a bookstore. , and the bookstore looks very bright and warm, which makes people like it.
As long as there are books, people are not alone.
I like this movie about the bookstore, and I will watch it again and again in the future, just like owning a bookstore myself.
