Do not forget the original intention, Fang's always

In my impression, it seems that this is the first movie with the Irish label, and it is very exciting.

I think to the Irish, Brooklyn is a bit like Chinatown in China. The story doesn't start here, but a relatively perfect sentence is drawn here.

The heroine is actually a person who has her heart and her actions from the very beginning. From the beginning of dressing casually to the dance hall, to practice eating spaghetti, from going to the United States alone to graduating from night school with honors. She knew she needed to change, and she dared to touch happiness.

Back in Ireland, I was afraid she would indulge in the ease of the small town. Of course, even if she stayed, it was definitely because of the lonely mother, and even if she left, it wouldn't be because of the vicious boss of the commissary.

A lot of people were moved by the last scene where the female protagonist was leaning against the wall under the setting sun and waiting for the male protagonist. It may be due to personal reasons that the first time Alice received a letter from her family had a bigger impact on me. The last time I saw a sour nose in a movie was when I saw Hachiko, a loyal dog, waiting for the protagonist at the subway station several years ago. At that time, he was a carefree teenager. This time I was touched because "heartbroken people are in the end of the world".

In the movie, the night before the heroine went to the United States, the long shot before leaving the dance was impressive. With that look, it seemed that she was destined to leave this town for the second time.

The before-and-after contrast is well handled, and as a loop director, the scene on board is recreated. It's just that at this time, just like what some people say "Irish girls are just growing up", she can also face everything with certainty and tell the newcomer how to deal with it just like the good-hearted person at the time.

    Watching it for screenwriter Nick Hornby/Colm Tobin. Really disappointed, the plot aspect is like a student study: just because an old woman came to the conclusion "I almost forgot what this place looks like"? The way of echoing from beginning to end is also cliché. And finally, there was a bit of a dramatic conflict. I was about to see the inner struggle of the heroine, but the movie ended in a hurry...

    It seems that for some people (young, beautiful, brave), a new and beautiful life is like a bunch of fruits hanging on the branches, just a little tiptoe to get there, the only trouble is not knowing how to get there. Reach out to pick which one... Damn, I really want to experience this feeling! (Who wouldn't want to?

  • Mrs. Keogh: Ellis, from the look of you, you have greasy skin, is that right? What do you do about that?

    Eilis: Just... Well, I wash it, Mrs. Keogh, with soap.

    Miss McAdam: There is nothing wrong with soap. Soap was good enough for our Lord. I expect.
