At the beginning of the film, the heroine often cried when she first arrived in Brooklyn. She couldn't help being homesick, and she cried when she heard the songs of her hometown... In fact, it was the same when I first went to Shanghai to study at university. Crying, I couldn’t go home when I encountered a lot of bad things during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I just sat by the lake in a daze, always counting the days before I could go home. Everything about my hometown can arouse my excitement... Later, it seems that Gradually, she was no longer so sad, and she began to adapt to living alone in a foreign land, just like the heroine.

Meeting Italian boys is definitely a lucky thing in the heroine's life. Because of that one person, she began to become more beautiful and more confident, like glowing. She also has a kind and considerate boss, a roommate who helps her dress up for her, a kind godfather... These kind people make the heroine's life in Brooklyn colorful.

When I went back to my hometown, I saw a lot of people saying that the heroine was a green tea bitch. At first, I was also very indignant. Later, I saw someone say that the heroine is selfish, but everyone is selfish. Indeed, life decisions are not black and white. Stay at home, have a mother, an ideal partner, and a stable job. Ask yourself, if it were me, maybe it would be wobbly too. Of course, the heroine is married, which is also related to moral law. But the heroine still chose to leave her hometown. It was the old lady's gossip that made her see clearly, or she remembered the isolation and backwardness of this small town, and she has a wider world in Brooklyn.

The ending was happy, but I also thought, if the heroine had a marriage partner in her hometown before, and then she went to the United States and met another man; or, if her life in the United States was not so smooth, what would she choose?

It is about life choices, and only after looking back many years later will we see its face clearly.

Finally, I would like to say that this film gave me a whole new perspective on studying in a foreign land. I used to think that when I graduated, I would definitely go back to Hangzhou. But now it seems that I should not be too absolute. It seems to be a good thing to stay there and make some friends, um, it is best to meet someone who is like a liar, and then work hard together there to become more beautiful and confident.
