The film is adapted from the work of helene hanff, and the original work is called "the Bible of book lovers" by the world. Although "84 Charing Cross Street, London" has different film and television versions, this film made in 1987 is generally regarded as an excellent film. Anne Bancroft, who plays Hailin, vividly depicts the image of a down-and-out woman writer. Her sensitivity, kindness, spirit first, and her regret that she has not met her best friend for more than 20 years are all touching. Anthony Hopkins, who is of Irish descent, is completely different from his violent barbarism in The Silence of the Lambs, and has created a rigorous, elegant and meticulous image of an English gentleman.

I admit that I am an antique, because when I saw the antique bookstore with antique bookcases at 84 Charing Cross Street in London, I couldn't help getting excited. This is a second-hand bookstore called Mark Bookstore. The daily manager of the bookstore is Frank Toure, an elegant and knowledgeable English gentleman. He often goes to luxury houses all over England to buy those old books for sale. He tries his best to meet the needs of various customers, because as a book lover, he understands the importance and preciousness of books. The bookstore put an advertisement in an American book review magazine, and an accidental opportunity was seen by Helene Hanfu, a female writer in new york. She was worried that she couldn't find some books written by English writers, so from June 5th of 1949, 10, she and Mark Bookstore began a friendship of Hongyan for twenty years. It was not until a few months after Frank's death in June 5438+0969, when the bookstore was about to be demolished, that she had the opportunity to come to this bookstore in London. The 20-year friendship I have known through books is as light as water but precious. Hanfu's enthusiasm is frank, frank and implicit, and it is vivid on paper, which sets each other off and becomes interesting. This film is based on the personal experience of American woman writer helene hanff. When she sent all her correspondence with Mark Bookstore in the past 20 years and her one-month trip in London to the American Reader's Digest for publication, the novel caused a great sensation all over the world, and the film won three British Film Academy awards with 1987.

Whether it is a novel or a movie, it is still this fresh and meaningful feeling. The film reproduces the quaint architectural style of postwar London, adding a strong nostalgic atmosphere in music and color. Although the hero and heroine have no chance to communicate directly, the convergence of scenes and the presentation of the background of the times fully make up for the thinness of the story, which makes people intoxicated while enjoying it. I even began to fall in love with London in the movie, just as Helen said she would go to London to find London in English literature. I like English literature, but I have only been exposed to the Chinese version of London. I really hope I can have a chance to experience pure English literature, just like reading China classical Chinese, which is wonderful and magical. Reading is a sacred experience, and the interpretation of language is a hard and interesting process.

I like this movie, perhaps because I love books as much as Helen. However, compared with her, my love for books seems so hypocritical. Books seem to exist only to give themselves a sense of deja vu, but they are not. I like buying books. Every time I travel on business, I look for a bookstore in the city. It seems that there is only a large and complete warehouse like Xinhua Bookstore everywhere. So far, the most impressive bookstore is Muwentang in Dalian, but the shops less than three square meters in front of Friendship Square are filled with books. "Buying books that I haven't read is like buying clothes that I haven't tried on. It's against my principles." This is Helen's library declaration form. I think I agree with her, but I have no chance to read in the library. I like the reading experience in the library. It is quiet and comfortable here. There is only this stale and rich smell of paper in the air, and there is only the rustle of others turning over books in their ears. It is wonderful music in the empty lobby, and your thoughts will always penetrate the author's thoughts at this moment. Reading is an exchange of wisdom. The author hides a riddle-like philosophical thought between the lines, while the reader is more like an experiencer who solves puzzles. People who are drunk will feel the pleasure of talking with the prophet. Facing the mountain of books in the study, this movie made me feel ashamed. Books are only valuable to people who love them, just like people. You say you love it, but you just put it on the shelf, just like you say you love someone and make her disheartened. Therefore, love is not for collection, but for experience, otherwise it is equivalent to nothing. I think I should thank Helen, who taught me to love books as a lover. Don't just buy it, let it exist where it belongs without looking.

I've always wanted to live like this, especially after I confirmed that I was an antique. I live like Frank, full of love for life and peace and ease for my family. Frank in life is always gentle. He is a good manager of the bookstore. He worked conscientiously for the bookstore for 40 years. In these forty years, he devoted his profound knowledge and thoughtful service to every book lover. When he found the book that the customer needed, his face was not only happy, but also satisfied and happy. There is no time or space limit for book lovers to appreciate books, especially when reading second-hand books. In addition to the author, they can also have emotional exchanges with former readers. I also like to write my immature opinions between the pages. Maybe many years later, when my book reaches someone else's hand, when he can feel my feelings through my words, it will be regarded as an eternity of thought. Frank in the family is a kind father and a competent husband. Although his wife Nora could not enter his real spiritual level, although Nora wrote to Helen after his death and even envied this kind of communication between them, his sincere love for his family has not changed. His pure and selfless friendship with Helen has spanned Qianshan for 20 years and witnessed his noble personality. One of the most memorable scenes in the film, when Frank learned that Helen could not come to London because she spent money on dental treatment to attend the Queen's Ascension Ceremony, he muttered to himself for a while in front of the camera, his eyes empty and lonely. Although the good times did not last long, the sadness that pervaded the audience and even the TV set was deplorable. It was the only chance to meet each other, but it didn't come true in the end, and Helen's trip to London was a few months after Frank died of illness. Life is a process of reading and writing. Reading is for learning, and writing is for recording. Only books can witness eternal life, just as helene hanff read the poem of John Donne, an English poet in the17th century:

"All mankind is a book,

When a person dies,

A chapter in the book has not been torn off,

But translate it into a better language.

Every chapter must be translated like this,

God hired several translators,

Some works are translated chronologically,

Some because of disease, some because of war, some because of justice,

But the hand of God will rebind our scattered leaves for the library,

There, every book will be open to each other. "

This poem is a comment on understanding movies. In fact, I should use the dialogue translated from the film, but I don't want people who can understand it to misunderstand. If so, it will be difficult for me to let go of my mistakes, because others will hate the person who translated the name of this movie as much as I do.
