Homesickness is a ferry ticket, but you can’t get it back.

First of all, in 2015, especially at the end of the year, the retro style of female subjects became popular. There is a big retro style in the fashion industry, and the wide-leg pants and suede skirts have a small ribbon trending to the bad street. In the film industry, Patricia Arquette, who won the Oscar for best female supporting role last year, said that Hollywood should be equal in salary. This dissatisfaction, and there are many outside voices questioning the lack of Hollywood women to take the lead in the film. So it came out, and at the end of the year, there was a series of films below, which filled the poster column of the theater.

This

film is simply tailor-made for Luo Nan's sister. Sister Ronan's parents are Irish. She was born in New York and returned to Ireland with her parents at the age of three until she grew up. It is said that the film began to look for the starring role of Carol's Rooney Mara next door, and the preparations for the filming began because the Luo Nan girl was not old enough. Fortunately, this film has been dragging and can not be filmed.

After watching the movie, I feel that the characters in this film are too nice, except for the old lady in the shop, everyone is super kind and enthusiastic. Not to mention that my sister Rose is a super beautiful and gentle Virgin. The priest pays money and works like a father. The Italian brother looks frivolous but works hard and is deeply affectionate. The landlord looks fierce but enthusiastic and upright, even on the boat that looks very bitchy. Roommates, Brooklyn tenants and department store bosses are actually human! overtake! class! it is good! Of course, it can be said that immigrants help each other in the United States, or that the good old man eilis is popular, but watching this film is really a warm current, and there are good people in the world.

Some people don't like the second half very much, and feel that as a married woman, eilis returned home and had a hot fight with Jim. I think first of all, eilis is a good old man, he is submissive, restrained and speaks less. So she began to work obediently for the frenzied and snobbish old lady in the shop, and did not complain at all; the Italian brother confessed to her that she was at a loss, and he thought about it for a few days before replying in earnest; even though she was reluctant to take the new girl to dance Promise it down. The biggest shortcoming of good guys is indecision. When she returned to Ireland again, although she planned to return to the United States, she was worried about her mother's condition, but she had been persuading herself to stay. Because there is no reason to leave now, I used to have no job and no targets, but now I have them all at once. So she has been hesitating. And the return of the wandering son is totally unreality, as eilis said, "i dunno what is my home", so there is no strong moral sense of "I am a married woman". Had it not been for the old lady in the shop, I guess Jim would kneel down and propose to her to marry him. She might have made up her mind to reject Jim and return to New York.

Going back to the film itself, the whole film also echoes in many details as eilis grows and changes. At first in Ireland, the overall tone was dark, eilis did not use pink and daisy, and the clothes were lifeless.
After

coming to the United States, she was sad because of homesickness, but she used a lot of light.
After the

love life is on the right track, the makeup is exquisite, although the dark green is still worn, but there is a bit of liveliness in the dignity, and there is also a layer of happiness on the face.


And returning to Ireland again, although sad, but hopeful, the light is also very bright, and the clothes are also lively goose yellow.


Finally boarded the ship to the United States again, calm and mature, but also has the simple and soft feeling of eilis


One detail is that she met a girl who was in a similar situation to her when she was on the boat this time, panicked, nervous, excited, and rustic.


Although there is no space in the film to describe, watching the girl's dress (the lipstick color is the same as eilis), eilis should have helped the new girl like her roommate on the boat.
In

terms of actors, I have to mention that Little Huang Mao Domhnall Gleeson is really good at playing. In recent years, Wilderness Hunter, Star Wars, Mechanic Ji, and the previous Black Mirror, Frank, and About Time are all well-received works.

When I watched the first half, I cried several times. I was overwhelmed when I was leaving home alone. I read the letters from my house over and over again. I hid in the corner and cried silently. My relatives left home. Going and being helpless, the excitement and unreality after going home, and everything that has become better after falling in love, are all so similar. And would you choose the rich and handsome in the small town, or the plumber in the big city? If Gao Fushuai appeared before leaving his hometown, he must have married directly and lived a prosperous and happy life. But if you don't go to the United States and get gilded, will Gao Shuaifu appear at your door? And after such a journey, will you still be content with the closedness of the town? Homesickness is a ticket, but sometimes it may never go back.
