Like countless small town girls, Eilis's life is simple and peaceful but lacks passion. There is no skill, no outstanding beauty and cheerful personality. Eilis can only work for the caustic bakery proprietress. Even to dance, he can only leave the stage silently and alone among the pairs of dancers. It is so boring. Life eventually led her to brooklyn, from a naive and unsocial girl to a fashionable and generous urban beauty, and gained love. A typical American dream plot. Then the director threw a new question to shake it.
The gilded girl from the metropolis returns to her hometown, both in "Sabrina" and in Brooklyn, she is glamorous, exuding a signal of charm that is different from that of a small town, decent work and a handsome lover. One after another. Eilis is so happy that she sinks into the warmth of her hometown and does not want to leave, until the appearance of the mean proprietress reminds her of the other side of life in the small town. The mask of peace and stability contains the narrow interpersonal circle narrow. Humanity and immutability day after day. So under the bright North American sun, the heroine once again stood on the streets of Brooklyn. This is her hometown of choice.
I think everyone who has lived abroad has experienced Eilis's entanglement, the loneliness and discomfort brought about by leaving his hometown and crossing the ocean may be even greater for Asians living under Oriental culture than her. After the running-in period has passed, they have become more or less a part of the local area, at least on the surface. However, only I can understand the feeling of belonging in my heart. I remember a friend who had left New York and returned to China once said that when he didn’t come, I always felt like other people’s food here. It’s good everywhere. When I did come, I felt like I was drifting and missed the domestic heat. Lively. This peace of mind is my hometown, even if this city gathers people from all countries on the earth and all the sensuality invented by mankind, without warmth and love, it is destined to be just a cutscene in life. I think if it wasn't for the fact that Eilis was married and threatened her by the bad-hearted proprietress, then it is very likely that Eilis will stay at home. People's desire for a familiar environment and a comfortable and stable life even made Eilis almost abandon her husband who had made great changes in New York. Fortunately, there was that evil proprietress, and finally she finally remembered why she left here in the first place. Don't forget the original intention, for people who pursue their ideals alone, this is almost the only motivation to stick to it. If you live happily, who would be willing to endure hardships. Those who choose to endure hardships are all because they can't get happiness from their current lives, so they leave with expectations and pursue a trace of ideal happiness. Eilis got everything she ever wanted in a foreign country. Of course, this is the ideal arrangement of the director. Most people continue to compromise and continue to work hard in reality, but I think they may not regret it, they have experienced it, and they have grown up. , After all gains, did not waste time, learned how to live a happier life.
In the preface of "Ding Fengbo" Su Shi asked Rouji, "Guangnan's local customs, shouldn't it be bad?" Rouji replied, "This is my hometown."
