I like movies with a strong urban flavor, which seems to give the image a profound sense of history. Just like "Roman Holiday", "Midnight in Paris", "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", it seems that I also walked with them through the center and the edge of the city.
"Brooklyn", the first time I saw the name, I couldn't wait to see what it looked like. Although I don't know how beautiful or twisty this film, named after New York's largest population precinct, has a story, but Brooklyn itself has gathered A large number of immigrants, whether they are Dutch people who have lived for a long time, or people who have decided to come to New York to work hard from other continents, most of them will choose to live in Brooklyn, and there are even a large number of people from Guangzhou and Fuzhou. the same choice. What is the charm of this place? Can it accommodate the "Piao Piao Clan" from all over the world? Eilis, the protagonist of the movie "Brooklyn", was also asked this question, and her answer was: Brooklyn, like my second home.
With the help of her sister, Eilis from Ireland came to New York to study and work. Like most of the Peipiao people today, she left home and family for her ideal work and life. Eilis met many friendly fellows in Brooklyn, New York, and even gained a beautiful love. But at this time, Eilis' sister died, and she couldn't bear her mother to stay in her hometown alone, but her life in Brooklyn had gradually made her fall in love with it, which made Eilis very entangled. So Eilis decided to go back to his hometown to accompany his mother for a while, but in the end, he returned to Brooklyn and the arms of his lover.
Eilis did not choose to stay with his mother for long. In fact, the mother who lives in Ireland has long been familiar with this quiet town, and life is no stranger to her. Although her mother still wanted to keep Eilis by her side, she decided to let it go when Eilis revealed to her that she was married in Brooklyn. This kind of letting go is neither disappointment nor regret.
Mother said: Is he fine? He must be very good, and the person my daughter has a crush on must be very good.
The mother said: go back, and I hope to say goodbye earlier, it is better to say it now...
Eilis hugged her mother tightly, at this moment, the mother understood that she should no longer restrict her daughter's life, let go, yes Best protection for her.
Some people say that Eilis is cold-blooded, what temptation can make a person "abandon" his mother? But in my opinion, Eilis' choice is a woman's wisdom. Dreams and family relationships do not conflict, because life is heading towards the future. When you know your future direction, you can find the answer to life. Parents will not lock their children firmly, and at the same time, we should no longer worry that we will accompany our parents too little, because whenever you return home in high spirits, it is also the best gift for your family.
The topic of dreams is always accompanied by place and distance, and the same is true of the movie "Brooklyn". I am reluctant to compare it with Beijing here, because what I see is more about the power of belief than the hardships. It's not that Beijing can't carry it, but that it has already carried too much weight. During Chinese New Year, the church will distribute food for the homeless. They are all from Ireland, who came when they were very young. They are workers, clerks, and model workers. "Why don't they go home?" Eilis asked. "They can't support themselves when they go home. Brooklyn is their home," the godfather replied. After the meal, the Irish gathered at the church sang the folk songs of their hometown, and the beautiful and harmonious voice filled the ears of everyone here. This is not only to thank the kindness of the food that was awarded, but also to the strong refugees. This is a way to pray for the hometown, peace, happiness, and firm belief. They don't mind even if they're in Brooklyn, that's the second home they've been fighting for and building for decades.
What is the dream? Even now that it is close to fast-food life, it is still discussed with great interest by people. Brooklyn is Eilis' dream, and it also represents the dream-chasing journey of many people, but in the stories of Eilis and Brooklyn, the dream not only completes his own life, but also implies a kind of inheritance.
"Are you going to live in Brooklyn?" A young Irish girl asked Eilis, who was about to return to New York.
"No, I already live there."
"I heard that there are many Irish people in Brooklyn. It's very friendly and warm there."
"Yes, it's like home."
"It's good, I'm going to Brooklyn too."
Eilis was silent for a while, Said:
"Please remember, you must not eat on the boat because you will get seasick and you will eat more when you get to New York. When you go back to the bedroom in the cabin, remember to close the door opposite the bathroom Lock it, then you have the right to negotiate with them. When you get to customs, don't hesitate, don't blink, pretend to be confident, think of yourself as a New Yorker, and walk over with pride. "
If you've ever noticed In the original episode, this passage was told to Eilis by a woman who had traveled to New York from Ireland. Now, this dream, Eilis decided to deliver it to more dream chasers. For the depth of Brooklyn, for the deep love of Ireland.
Have you, like Eilis, placed your own dream in a city, then, has it been placed now?
