It tells the story of an Irish girl who went to New York to survive, mainly about the most difficult choice she faced: staying in New York to marry her sweetheart or returning to her hometown to take care of her mother and live a decent life. I like the ending, but the process is really unpleasant. During the period when she came home, the ambiguity towards tim seemed unbearable, but maybe everyone is tolerant to themselves, and this is a spare tire When things happen to me, it seems that maybe I no longer have the same standard of harshly criticizing others. I think back carefully, if it wasn't for the former boss to expose her, what choices she would have made in the end, I can't figure out. It's hard to choose, but it shouldn't involve other people. I think it's a cruel thing to let others have illusions. It's better to be real, so, anyway, best wishes for the lovers!

Miss Fortini: Ellis, you look like a different person. How did you do it? Maybe I can pass some advice onto the next poor girl who feels that way.
Eilis: I met somebody. An Italian fella.
Miss Fortini: Oh, I'm not passing that on. I'd rather have them homesick than heartbroken. Does he talk about baseball all the time? Or, his mother?
Eilis: No.
Miss Fortini: Then keep him. There isn't another Italian man like him in New York.

Eilis: [to Tony] You like baseball?
Maurizio: He never mentioned the Dodgers? Not even once? What's the matter with you?
