This film was shortlisted for the premiere of the 31st Sundance Film Festival, adapted from the 2009 British Costa Award for Best Novel of the Year, Irish novelist Colm Tóibín [Brooklyn], directed by John Crowley, "Total Lock", Starring "Atonement" Sa Xue Ronan and "True Love Every Day" Domnar Gleason.

The plot of "Brooklyn" depicts Alice Lacey (played by Sa Xue Ronan). This is a film about the love story of Irish immigrants. It is simply a pity, just like the heroine’s first impression of the audience-" In "The Grand Budapest Hotel", that cute cake girl: Saoirse Ronan. An Irish immigrant girl struggling to survive in Brooklyn in the 1950s. In pursuit of the American dream, Alice left home and her mother’s shadow, and went to New York to fight alone. Later, she had two relationships with her hometown in a foreign land. Alice was caught in the entanglement of New York’s old love and Irish new love. How should Alice choose between two loves? This is a story about leaving, missing and surging love.

Director Crowley said that he wanted to echo the absolute beauty in the novel and the screenplay, and by navigating the fuzzy boundary between tenacity and tenderness, "Brooklyn" exposes two worlds with different atmospheres. One is the isolated and beautiful Irish grace. Niskosi, the other is the bustling and chaotic Brooklyn, New York. The film is very successful in presenting the humorous details of life and the nostalgia resonance of the immigration era. Saoirse Ronan’s performance is very detailed and complete, fascinating

    Ronan's acting skills are still amazing when he grows up. It can be said that she made up the whole movie. The director also loves her light blue eyes as much as the audience. Under the deliberately elongated close-up gaze, she will really be taken away by emotions. Although there are no big twists and turns from the beginning to the end, and the ending is expected, this girl who is wandering in a foreign country is worried, uneasy, hesitant, and looking for a support, but she can't let go of her hometown. What a delicate and touching story

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.
