In the days of slow wandering, we are tired of dealing with social, work, and troubles.
And movies and books, music, paintings, etc. can let us get release and withdrawal, quietly enjoy the peace and beauty.
On April 23, World Book Day, Thirteen recommends several books/bookstore-related films. I hope to find the power of reading with you and gain self-comfort.

1. "84 Charing Cross Street"
Director: David Hugh Jones
Writers: Hugh Whitemore / Helene Hanf / James Rose-Evans

Genre: Drama / Romance / Biography
Douban Movie: 8.6 points
Even if you haven't read the original book, if you have read "Beijing Meets Seattle's Love Letter", you must be familiar with the book called "84 Charing Cross Street".
In fact, the book comes from the collection of letters by writer Helene Humph and bookseller Frank, and is called the "Bible of Book Lovers", which is quite classic.
In 1987, the United States made a film of the same name, telling this story about the love of books. Touched a lot of fans, book fans, just like the Douban hot review said: people and books are old, not old is that touch of warmth.
Helen in the film doesn't finally stand at the door of Max and Cohen's bookstore until the end. At this time, the bookstore is about to be demolished.
She said to the empty bookstore, "I'm here, Frank, I'm finally here." ”
At that moment, the heat rushed into my heart, and tears warmed my eyes.
2. "The Chronicle of the Boat"
Director: Yuya Ishii
Writers: Kensaku Watanabe / Aster Miura
Starring: Ryuhei Matsuda / Aoi Miyazaki / Odah Cejang / Kuroki-
Genre: Drama
Douban Movie: 8.5 points
Like many Japanese dramas, this film is delicate, genuine, and touching.
As a film that tells the people and stories of the "editorial dictionary" process, it is more like conveying a certain spirit, about the workplace, doing things, and being a person.
From Matsumoto, Araki to Ma Di, their dedication and rigor to "Dadu Hai" is to cross the sea in a flat boat in the vast ocean of life.
This film is a Japanese "Olympic bid" film, a film full of the imprint of the old era, but its era is not so far away.
It also warns us that in every age, there is a call for quiet work. Including the matter of reading.
3. "The Elegance of the Hedgehog"
Director: Mona Achache
Writers: Mona Achache / Myolier Barbery
Starring: Josien Barrasco / Galans Le Guiemick / Togo Ikawa / Anne Bonosch
Douban Movie: 8.8 points
Adapted from the French novel of the same name, this film is a good book full of emotional power and straight to the human heart and another self.
The film tells the story of a little girl with a family disharmony, Baroma, and a female concierge who is not easy to communicate with, and the life changes dramatically due to the intrusion of a different and elegant Japanese gentleman, Ozu.
And ultimately conveys life and the meaning of life.
Happiness is the same, and unhappiness is different.
Behind everyone there is his unknown past, just like the person who has been in front of your eyes, but you have never seen him at that moment.
This film tells you: even the hedgehog has its softness and elegance.
Reading can redeem yourself from the bad side.
4. "Austin Book Club"
Director: Robin Swift
Writers: Robin Swift
Starring: Emily Blunt / Hugh Dansey / Maria Bello / Kathy Baker
Genre: Drama / Romance
Douban Movie: 7.5 points
A movie that tells the story of a book club, and sometimes reading can become a thing that a group of people enjoy together.
As a writer-centered book club, the Austin Book Club likes to bring members together to discuss the contents of Austen's books, and each gathering will focus on a book.
These book lovers are frustrated and unhappy, and such discussions keep each other warm, and everyone looks for answers and antidotes to life in the process of reading.
Perhaps, we can too.
5. "When is the day of reading"
Director: Akira Ogata
Writers: Kenji Aoki
Starring: Yuko Tanaka / Kazunori Kishibe / Yukiko Nishina / Teruyuki Kagawa
Douban Movie: 8.2 points
Another name for the film is "The Milkmaid".
It tells the story of a woman who is no longer young, who delivers milk to the people in the town every morning. She lives alone and has a library-like room. When you live at home on weekdays, you just read books and talk to get by.
The love affair brought out by the milk really touched people's hearts, the years were tortured, and then reunited many years later, she and her lover only spent one day together, and the man was taken away by death because of an accident.
Only the woman's lonely eyes remained, cold to the bone, cold and cold.
Life is so long, love and reading can be so long.
6. "Book Thief"
Director: Brian Paysieville
Writers: Michael Petroni / Max Susak

Genre: Drama / War
Douban Movie: 7.8 points
The film tells the story of a girl who read books during World War II, and through reading books, she gained solace in the cold times of turmoil and brought warmth to others.
The separation of the heroine Lisayle and her family, and the life of her adoptive father and adoptive mother, and the interaction with books.
The bits and pieces of these stories make people more able to understand the power of reading.
Sometimes, life changes, social changes, emotional changes, what is really touching is the sincerity of the text link and transmission.
7. "Death Poetry Society"
Director: Peter Will
Writers: Tom Shulman
Starring: Robin Williams / Robert Sean Leonard / Ethan Hawke / Josie Charles
Douban Movie: 9.0 points
The only movie in the film list that ranks in the Douban Top250, more than 300,000 people scored a high score of 9 points. Is there anything else to say?
As a film that focuses on education, reading poetry, and finding itself, the film has a classic story, full characters, and infinite power.
"I stepped into the jungle because I wanted to live meaningfully. I want to live deeply, absorb all the essence of life, and crush everything that is not in life, lest when I end my life and find that I have never lived. ”
Perhaps, reading books and watching movies are sometimes paths that make us find meaning. Although, the end point is not necessarily the meaning itself.
8. "Readers"
Director: Liu Xin / Tian Mei
Starring: Dong Qing / Pu Cunxin / Li Jingze / Jiang Li / Yao Qian / more...
Type: Talk show
Language: Mandarin Chinese
The last thirteen will return to our domestic film and television program - "Readers".
As a masterpiece in the domestic reading variety shows in the past two years, when the first season was first broadcast online, it received rave reviews and many Amway people.
Xu Yuanchong, Hu Defu, Zheng Yuanjie, Mai Jia, Liu Zhenyun, Zhang Aijia and other cultural celebrities and cultural and entertainment celebrities have successively appeared on the program, advocating reading and recovering the reading habits of the public, which is of great significance.
As the second season is about to air, we should really read our good books outside of the show.
No matter how many things change, the moment we pick up the book and the moment we open the movie, we always have a kind of calm and quiet, leisurely wandering.
Movies can extend the life experience by three times, and reading books can make the human body taste up and down for thousands of years, and can also feel the parallel world. It's blissful to think about.
