You Ve Got Mail Bookstore Ending
I loved buying books and attending book signings there.
You ve got mail bookstore ending. In a nod to the original meg s independent bookstore was named the shop around the corner. It s about an indie bookstore fighting the big box retail giant they said. You ve got mail is a 1998 american romantic comedy film directed by nora ephron and starring tom hanks and meg ryan inspired by the 1937 hungarian play parfumerie by miklós lászló which had earlier been adapted in 1940 as the shop around the corner and in 1949 as in the good old summertime it was co written by nora and delia ephron it tells the story of two people in an online romance.
A remake of the 1940 film the shop around the corner 1940 starring james stewart and margaret sullavan the original film involved two employees at a leather goods shop in budapest. Other incarnations were in the good old summertime 1949 which took place in a music store and she loves me a 1963 stage adaptation that reverted the action back to a parfumerie the setting of the original. The closing of the bookstore reminded me of how very sad i was when ingleside books closed here.
Thanks for these posts on you ve got mail i think one of the smartest movies ever written. Meg ryan s bookstore is called the shop around the corner this is a reference to the 1940 jimmie stewart margaret sullivan movie of that name upon which you ve got mail was loosely based. You ve got mail is hitting 20 years and we re thinking about what elements have held up 20 years later.
I still miss it. That s how ryan a bona fide movie star came to spend a week behind the cash register at books of wonder a children s bookstore in manhattan. It is one of my all time favorites.
Alternate ending was formed when three friends realized they all shared a passion for movies. Tom hanks my favorite actor and meg ryan would end up together and both bookstores would be saved. Since you ve got mail is a romantic comedy i just assumed by nature of the genre that it would all end well.
Nora ephron really strived for authenticity so before she started filming you ve got mail she asked meg ryan and heather burns who played ryan s employee christina to spend a week working at real bookstore.
