Late, waiting for the movie theater, the Mancuso family in Sicily is selling livestock, changing clothes, and preparing to go to America.
The beginning is very much like an Italian country movie. Salvatore, a farmer, takes his two children and his mother to leave his hometown to the paradise of America, where "potatoes are the size of train cars, carrots are as long as boats, and gold coins are knotted on trees".
The middle part is the voyage. Salvatore met lucy on the ocean-going ship. She was from England, elegant and beautiful. Almost every man on the boat wanted to marry her. Of course, Salvatore and lucy were together, and the two bathed in the river of milk. , boarded the household carrot boat.
The last part is the immigration inspection after disembarking, the best, black humor. In addition to the hair and nails of each entrant, the "gatekeepers of the new world" patiently surveyed their intellectual level and mental state, which, according to their "modern theory," were inherited.
So Salvatore used tangrams to build two houses for the examiner, telling him one for people and one for animals. The examiner asked again: If your ship is about to sink, what do you throw a bag of bread and a bag of gold? Answer: I ate the bread...why throw gold?
The best is the final scene, where Salvatore's stubborn mom and son are convicted of being insane and mute and will be deported, Salvatore says, with so much land and work. What's wrong with being dumb, he only works, he doesn't complain, how clean, my mother, I'll lock her in the room, let her work, and never let her out...
In fact, what he has to say Yes, the new world belongs to them, and nothing can separate them or banish them.
"The bread is like a cloud and the house is a hundred stories high" was created by the people with black nails.

    Originally thought it would be the story after the protagonists enter the new world, but I didn't expect the whole film to focus on depicting how the whole group got there. The shots are very good, the Italian part is more realistic, and the part about the United States is presented with fantasy images many times. This really has nothing to do with immigration, but an elegy for future dreams. The film presents the madness of Italians. Even with such a realistic subject matter, several shots are imaginative and can’t help admiring: at the end, everyone in the milk river is shot overhead, and there are small beings floating above the dream; Charlotte and the old woman are sitting On the bed, time suddenly froze; the slow-moving traverse on the boat was even more romantic.

    Four dissimilar pseudo-literature, the style is scattered and changeable, and a boring film
