When you return to the closed town that you once hated, you took over the decent job of your sister and met a decent suitor. Everyone in the town looked at you differently, and you inevitably have An illusion-I can have a life as promising as Brooklyn, or even a better life here. Until you met that mean old lady in the grocery store, she shattered your fantasy in a few words. It turns out that this town has not changed, its beauty and ugliness have not changed, but you have changed. You are different, you have escaped, so you can't go back. Please thank that vicious old lady, she saved your life.

Life is never easy, you will lose what you choose. But time is fair. You spend your time wherever you spend it.

    Sure enough, as in the legend - a story of green tea. As an immigrant movie, the excavation depth is very superficial, and the front and back are separated, especially after watching other immigrant cinema; as a love movie, love triangle, it is no wonder that some girls are overflowing. But for those who leave the country alone, and retro enthusiasts, there is still a climax. @London Film Festival

Brooklyn quotes

  • Mrs. Keogh: I'll tell you this much: I am going to ask Father Flood to preach a sermon on the dangers of giddiness. I now see that giddiness is the eighth deadly sin. A giddy girl is every bit as evil as a slothful man, and the noise she makes is a lot worse. Now, enough.

  • Frankie Fiorello: So, first of all, I should say that we don't like Irish people.

    [General cries of outrage around the table]

    Frankie Fiorello: We don't! That is a well known fact! A big gang of Irish beat Maurizio up and he had to have stitches. And because the cops round here are Irish, nobody did anything about it.

    Maurizio: There are probably two sides to it. I might have said something I shouldn't, I can't remember now. Anyway, they probably weren't all Irish.

    Frankie Fiorello: They just had red hair and big legs.
