Pay tribute to the love of the fathers with nostalgia

I watched it when it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture, and didn't know about it before. After reading it, I just want to say: between immigration plots and good movies, Oscar chose the former.
Small and fresh style, elegant retro dress, with a lovely Irish accent. I believe that the descendants of Ireland in the United States are amazed when they watch it, and feel that their ancestors during the immigration period were all angels from heaven. Love is so beautiful. And the descendants of Italy all admire the deliciousness of Italian pasta and the humor of Italian men when they watch it. Other white Americans are reading American history books (American history is short and concise). Maybe only black Americans are scolding the mother: you all came by boat, and we also came by boat, but we came in chains.
The movie script has a congenital defect: there are no bad people in it, I can't even hate the annoying shopkeeper in Ireland, and I even admire her (because she is snobby, but people don't pretend, and there is no purpose to tell you a little secret directly ). During the immigration period, there was no work pressure, there was a good leader, homestay had a good landlord and sisters, and a priest named you to help you go to school, and met handsome guys, two. There is nothing bad about New York. Immigrants are right, the movie doesn't tell us a reason not to go back to New York. The plot itself is pale and weak, except for the beautification and filters. So much so that New Yorkers want to go back in time after watching it.
The performance is still flawed: a person can play a good person, a hero, or a saint. But the environment is required, but from the perspective of the heroine's performance, she has always looked like a saint, so that it feels very boring and not three-dimensional. The best heroine is definitely not you. Others will not mention it, after all, there is no nomination.
...
why complain like this, because American ships sailed into the South China Sea.

    If it were before, I would probably not understand this movie. But after I watched a documentary about Irish immigrants, walked through the streets of Brooklyn, and watched this movie today after three and a half years in a foreign country, I seem to understand everything. In many cases, major decisions seem to be rushed, but they are only timing and fate. Even if you want to leave your hometown, leave your parents behind, and abandon your comfort, some decisions are made and you have to make them. There is no way out, let alone regret.

Brooklyn quotes

  • 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.

    Mrs. Keogh: Well, which brand did he use, Miss McAdam? Does the Bible tell you that?

    Diana: Our Lord is a man anyway. He didn't care about greasy skin.

    Mrs. Keogh: Ladies, no more talk about our Lord's complexion at dinner, please.

  • Sheila: Would I get married again? No, I want to be waiting outside the bathroom of my boarding house forever. Of course I do. That's why I go to that wretched dance every week. I want to be waiting outside my own bathroom, while some bad tempered fellow with hair growing out of his ears reads the newspaper on the toilet and I wish I was back here, talking to you.
