"Brooklyn" - Migration

When it comes to Ireland, it is probably its poverty, vast natural features and exotic ethnic style. I like this island, but it seems to be too far away from my life, even if it is only separated by a strait now. History textbooks say that at the end of the Middle Ages, due to the barren geographical environment, the Irish almost starved to death. Fortunately, new routes were opened up. The British brought potatoes from the Americas. They are not picky about the geographical environment, but high-quality, cheap and high-yield potatoes can not only eat but also eat. Very nutritious, so it became the savior of the Irish, and even the savior of Europe. Then there is Westlife's my love, which allows me to see the magnificent and magnificent Ireland. This song, which has been sung for more than ten years, but still touching, tells the love of the Irish people for their hometown. I started to like Ireland because I watched the tap dance performed by the Irish National Dance Troupe in Dalian with my ceramic teacher. It was the most exciting dance I have ever seen, and it was interspersed with nostalgia that made me almost cry. Needless to say, tap dancing is as magnificent as a sunset, full of rhythm. Even if I leave the theater, I can hear the crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the floor in my sleep, and the gentle and sad music interspersed in the middle, even if I didn’t understand the Irish accent at that time. English can still be moved by their nostalgia. The song sings about the downfall of Ireland, and a large number of Irish people took the ferry to the United States on the other side of the ocean and started a new life. No matter how good a foreign land is, it is not his own after all, and nostalgia turns into a thick and light song, floating gently, as if it can be brought back to hometown by the wind. The film "Brooklyn" tells just such a story. In the 1950s, the Irish immigrated to the United States in large numbers and began their American dream. Unlike the early immigrants who were forced to venture to the other side of the ocean to seek a living, the United States more than 60 years ago was no longer an uncultivated new continent, but the cradle of the people of the world with dreams. This place represents wealth and dreams. , representing hope. The heroine was sent abroad by her sister under such circumstances. After the death of the father, the mother pulled the two children to grow up, the mother became older, and the elder sister became the pillar of the family. Ireland is a backward country, and life in a small town is even more comfortable and closed. With the help of her sister, the heroine who is ordinary as a passer-by can go to the United States to develop, which must be said to be a good opportunity. Before leaving, what touched me was what my sister said. She helped her buy a lot of new clothes and then told her: "I can cost every penny for you, but I cannot buy you a future. Knowing that she will definitely come back to America. My boyfriend complained to me that girls have no morals, and if she sees one she loves another, if there is no sarcasm from the female bakery owner, she may never remember that she still has a husband waiting for her in the United States. Maybe she doesn't love both boys so much, but one thing is for sure, the dizziness of dreamy happiness brought by Gao Fushuai to the girl is only temporary, because the town has not changed, and she knows what she wants. Happiness came too suddenly and was overwhelmed, but after calming down, she would understand that the happiness that didn't belong to her had nothing to do with her, no matter how good it was. Life always has to be chosen and created by herself to be more secure and precious, so she must finally choose the life on the other side of the ocean. “The truly heartbreaking experience is when you come back to your hometown feeling homesick and feel out of place, it’s not your hometown that has changed, but you.” I remember when I asked someone who had been in Paris for over a decade. When my friend chose to stay, he told me that when he came home from the summer vacation two years after coming to France, he felt that everything was unsuitable, but when the plane landed in Paris, he felt, oh my God, he was home. He knew then that he would stay here. Parents are here, not to travel far, travel must have a way. In fact, children who travel are like kites in their hands, flying higher and higher, until they fly far away and can't be pulled back. The occasional return is just a short stay. When parents watch their child's back go away for the first time, it is really gone. The love between parents and children is only twenty years old, and thinking about it makes me want to cry. If the girl's experience in the movie resonates with me, it's actually the girl's sister and mother who moved me more. Relatives are the most selfless, and the elder sister promises her a better future at the cost of being trapped in this small town forever until her death. When I received a letter from my sister, my sister cried until her five senses were tangled together. She regarded everything her sister had experienced as her own pain, pained for her, laughed for her, and cried for her. The future that she could not have was all placed on her, sister. Love is the deepest confession in this movie. I love you, as long as you are happy, then I am also happy. The departure of her sister made the mother desperate. The only thought of the mother who had arranged everything for her daughter was to accompany her daughter, but her daughter had to leave eventually. The mother's ardent hope can't shake her daughter's determination. The mother who knows the truth is broken, but love makes her rational: "I want to say goodbye now, just once." The pain and despair to endure turned into a great love Indifferent and trembling words, at that time I realized that the mother's love for her daughter is not so selfish, or that selfless love surpasses the selfishness of human nature , even if the price is the mother's loneliness and old age, I hope to exchange for the happiness of her daughter's life. Family love is the greatest feeling in the world, not children to parents, but parents to children. And nostalgia is not just about missing the hometown, but more about missing relatives. Under the sun, the girl leaned against the wall, and behind it was the endless blue sky and the unique landmarks of New York. Her life has only just begun. Helplessness and despair are temporary. Life slowly polishes us into jade, confident and fearless. 2016-04-11 21:43

    Brooklyn is really good in the first half, it’s almost going to be the favorite of the year, but it’s a pity that the second half has fallen a lot...

    uninteresting. Everything was flat, nothing new. Ronan's acting skills are ok, but he doesn't touch people's hearts, and he is a little bit worse than the Olympic award-winning actress. [After watching Brie Larson's performance in , I can be sure that Ronan is going to play soy sauce at the Oscars
