Chapter 59 marry the boss lady to the boss

When love or touch is used as a solution to an issue in a movie, it means that it is difficult to find a solution to its real body in reality. The movie "Electronic Love Letter" uses love to resolve conflicts.Catherine, the heroine in the movie, guards a 40-year-old "corner" bookstore left by her mother, and lives peacefully with a few buddies. But what's worse, the large chain bookstores have extended their claws to this place. and opened a huge store near the "corner". The low discounts, comfortable sofas and drink cakes in the store pushed the "corner" to the end, and Catherine finally hung a farewell sign on the store door. .Fortunately, Catherine and Joe, the owner of the big bookstore, got acquainted on the Internet without knowing each other's identities, and exchanged heart-to-hearts every day. Finally, the opponents became lovers. Kiss, Joe's big dog, was tearing at the skirt of his master jealously.

"Electronic Love Letter" has been brought up repeatedly because of the closure of several famous small bookstores. In 2008, Qingwen Bookstore had closed down, and all the books had been moved to the warehouse. The place where the accident happened was that warehouse. .Then came the Rhinoceros Bookstore in Shanghai, which opened on October 1, 2007. Unfortunately, "Electronic Love Letter" was a movie made 13 years ago in September 2008. The situation has changed again after 13 years. The problems facing the book industry are not The suppression of small bookstores by large chain bookstores, but the impact of online bookstores on all traditional bookstores, and the gradual demise of paper books, the larger background, and the recession of the global economy. If "The Electronic Love Letter" was filmed today, even if it had a heroine as bright as Meg Ryan, who would it marry?And in what way can she realize her love for the identity of the proprietress of the bookstore (Catherine's online name is "Madam Boss" in the movie)?

But our attitude towards reality has not changed. In "Electronic Love Letter", the way for small bookstores to survive is to protest, go on TV, and launch a public opinion offensive. However, ten years later, the way for small bookstores to survive is still to publish newspapers and TV, repeatedly emphasizing bookstores as cultural landmarks meaning of existence.In fact, since the day when the small bookstore appeared in the movie and wanted to marry the proprietress to the owner of the big bookstore, it has already been on the road to death.Since we are going to solve the problems of the book industry with love and emotion, we have already pronounced its death in reality.

In the romance movies of the 1970s, when the identities of men and women were too different, they usually arranged for the protagonist to make a speech at a critical moment, impressing all the opponents, and promoting their marriage; Hollywood court movies, when the innocent become the defendant, And when the evidence is convincing, let the lawyer play the last card, impress the jury with a large number of sensational lines, prompting them to make a completely unreasonable verdict; Usually, an imperial envoy is arranged; in magazines, when gangsters raise their butcher knives, a witty female college student is usually arranged.When love, touch, or miracles become the solution, it means that they have no possibility of solution, no tradition of solution, and no system of solution.

In those messages of love and emotion, there are real developments in our world.What the news about children with leukemia receiving loving donations actually tells us is that the improvement of the medical security system is still very slow.Love is treated as the institution of resolution.
