Whether to stay or to leave is a decision the Salvadoran family asked God for. The United States can grow big onions, the trees in the United States can grow coins, and the houses in the United States are in the air. This is their important desire to immigrate to the United States. The story shows these in a foolish way as an inducement for Italians to yearn for a prosperous life. Poverty was their main cause, and Sicily was the starting point.

It also let me know Sicily through the film medium. I remember that the last time I learned about Sicily was in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". Both films can be very in-depth and let movie fans feel the rural atmosphere of Sicily and the customs of the people. But Sicily in the two movies is completely different, the main reason may be the background of the times (I have never been to Sicily, so I can only describe it superficially, but I know that Sicily is now the base of Italian gangsters, which is really a good choice. place for film footage).

The characters in the play are family-themed, and they can't be more ordinary. The second part of the movie is about the big ship leading to the United States, which carries the dreams of countless Italians. On the ship, people are both excited and depressed. The men are worried that they will not be able to live a good life in the United States. The girls do not know whether they can marry the United States. Husband, never met his fiancé, because the girls immigrated to the United States alone, and can only become legal citizens of the United States by marrying an American.

In the big theme, the part of the ship is also interspersed with indispensable episodes. British Lucy, elegant and beautiful, has not made a marriage contract, she is clever and sneaked into the ship, and she is the men's on the ship. The topic, the beautiful she is the target they want to marry.

Encounter, she met El Salvador before she got on the boat. The scene where the three men in the family watched her was indeed a bit skillful. It was very important for the director to shoot such a small bridge. The slow-down mirror and the soundtrack of the back deck view clip are also very exciting. That clip is really a bit like Wong Kar Wai's "In the Mood for Love" style. Finally, a bold statement before disembarking. It is the last key to the second part of the ending of the plot.

The physical examination is the third part and the most emotional part. El Salvador's mother, who did not want to immigrate to the United States, was very dissatisfied with the various tests and physical examinations. "Do you think you are God and can decide whether I can enter the new world or not?" I was very impressed by the old lady's words. El Salvador put the blocks into a house and told the tester that this would make it easier to shepherd the sheep and live in the flock. It's a very real and wild idea, even if the tester doesn't think so. The final medical report said that the entire Salvadoran family (not including Lucy) could not enter the country. Everyone should pay attention at this time, these short few minutes are the soul of the movie. The head of the family expresses his dissatisfaction and expresses that Salvador is a big man with a strong sense of responsibility (in fact, his character in the movie is the responsibility of the family. man). The Mute Son's opening is the final stop in the third part. The old lady eventually gave up entry. After all, adapting to the new environment is a big problem for the elderly. In fact, it is exactly as she said before, "Do you think that you are God and can decide whether I can enter the new world?"

In fact, many audiences will think that the movie does not say that they enter the country. How about the days after this part. In fact, behind the scenes of the movie connection, the Salvadoran family (including Lucy, but not his mother) and a large group of people swimming in the so-called milk river is the part of American life that the movie tells. Even if it's a fantasy, it's a dream. But there's a fantasy-type element to the movie, and there's no need to argue about entering the real world of America's new life. The film's bridge segment focuses on the immigration process.
America's big onion, cash cow, and milk river are the driving force and desire of their new immigrants. Their entry is the golden gate of America.
