有句话说的好:云中谁寄锦书来,相知何必曾相见。

《北京遇上西雅图2》其实它的副标题《不二情书》才是正片片名。这次女神不再是文青拜金女,摇身一变风情万种个性飒爽的赌场公关;吴秀波则一甩木讷老实的落魄样,转身已成洛杉矶能说会道的房地产经纪人。

两个身在异国的陌生人,竟然因为阴差阳错的一本书,两个人开始通信往来——《查令街84号》,讲述两个爱书人:纽约女作家和伦敦旧书店老板因为机缘巧合开始书信往来最后成为精神至交的故事,好像在汤女神和吴暖男身上也再次上演了。

贯穿整个故事线的,竟然只是本旧书?不了解《查令街84号》是本怎样的书,诉说了怎样一个故事,观影的乐趣可就少了一半哦~

《查令街84号》是个怎样的故事?

84, Charing Cross Road is a 1970 book by Helene Hanff, later made into a stage play, television play, and film, about the twenty-year correspondence between the author and Frank Doel, chief buyer of Marks & Co antiquarian booksellers, located at the eponymous address in London, England.
《查令街84号》是海莲·汉芙于1970撰写的小说,之后被改编为舞台剧、电视剧和电影;故事讲述了作家和坐落于英国伦敦 “查令街84号” 的马克斯与科恩书店的书商弗兰克·德尔之间长达20年的通信往来。

注:马克斯与科恩书店现已停止营业,但是在查令十字路84号临街的墙上,如今钉上了铭牌,以记录这段读书人奉为佳话的故事。

1987年的经典同名电影也非常值得一看。中译名《柔情一纸牵》将整个故事的精髓一语道尽。IMDB上无数观众都表示,这是“A truly good movie, nothing to change!”

@Don Miller

Every member of the cast delivers the goods, the story is moving and truthful, the characters come to life and you're swept up in their lives.
每位卡司都演绎出了精髓,故事本身感人且真实,人物鲜活,你会感觉自己代入了他们的生活。

@Pepper Anne

I like the technique used in this film. The interaction between Helene and her British friends occurs only through letters, so rather than have the characters write a letter and then dub what is written, eventually, the characters just face the camera and say what they would have written, with the camera cutting back and forth for each others response at times.
我喜欢这部电影的手法。海莲和她英国朋友的互动只跃于书信上,而不是角色写下书信然后配音,最终,角色只是面对着镜头说出了他们所写的,镜头只是反复来回切换彼此的反应。

英伦范书店,全英可不止这么一家哦!

英国老牌书店—水石书店(Waterstones)

Waterstones, formerly Waterstone's, is a British book retailer that operates 275 stores and employs around 3,500 staff in the UK and Europe as of February 2014. Established in 1982 by Tim Waterstone, after whom the company was named, the bookseller expanded rapidly until being sold in 1993 to W H Smith.
Waterstones的店铺装修以现代的简约风格为主,让读者能够在非常放松的环境下阅读和选择书目。书店的书目分类也非常明确,明细都一目了然。2008年Waterstones成为英国第一家销售索尼电子书阅读器的书商。有评论家认为,此举是Waterstones为自己播撒灭亡的种子,并预测Waterstones在五年之后可能会不再销售图书,甚至将不再存在。

皇室御用书店—哈查兹书店(Hatchards)

Hatchards is the oldest bookshop in the United Kingdom. It was founded by John Hatchard in 1797 in Piccadilly in London, from where it still trades today. Mr Hatchard's portrait can be seen on the staircase of the shop today.
哈查兹书店不仅拥有女王、爱丁堡公爵和威廉王子三个皇室御用证书,为女皇一家子提供书籍满载荣誉,称她为英国贵族书店就顺理成章。它也有很多名人老顾客,如王尔德和拜伦。至今,哈查兹书店还传承着过去的精神,一个忠实的顾客这样描述书店的内部:“这使人想起在一个漫无边际的老房子里面,六个楼层的小房间都连在一起围着中央楼梯。”

英国特色书店—思卡森书店(Scarthin Books )

For a start, it's located in Peak District, but that's not the best fact about Scarthins. No, that fact is that they stock the entire range of British Ordnance Survey Maps at 1 to 25,000 and 1 to 50,000.
首先,它坐落在皮克区,但是这还不是Scarthin书店最厉害的地方。最厉害的地方在于——书店有英国地形测量的全部地图!从1-25000,从1-50000。

If that wasn't enough, it has a variety of rooms stocking new and old books, and - brilliantly - an exhibition of 'curiosities' on the first floor. If that's not cool, we don't know what is.
如果这还不够,书店还有五花八门的房间,新书老书一应俱全,一楼还有牛逼闪闪的“古董”展。如果这还不够酷,我们就不知道牛逼两字咋写了。
