Wen/Scarlett
don’t know what your hometown is like, whether there are any predecessors who rely on the old and sell the self-righteous. Always use a mean look in your eyes to accuse everything that is critical of you. Try to use their experience to encircle your thinking. While they are tempestuously admiring, they think they can look at you forever when they look up. Use their own altitude to predict your ability to fly. In the future here, you can see the bottom at a glance. They are the air of yesterday in this city, and they are watching you to pass on this kind of unchanging taste for thousands of years. This is one of the reasons why people can't stay in my hometown.
But your hometown may still be like that. There are familiar friends, people who love you forever and believe you support you, and people who care about you never changing. No matter how abominable the world becomes, their love and care for you will not die because you are old and declining, nor will they die because you no longer hear and see. Although life there is calm and unwavering, the air there is always filled with familiar smells. You take one step and know the safety of the next fifty. With this stability, too many people get married early and have children to buy a house, and the ordinary is safe. Their today is as unremarkable as their parents' yesterday.
"Brooklyn" is such a story of a beautiful girl who travels to her country to pursue a new life.
The story of how I want to talk with my hometown has always been one of the topics of interest in film and television works. As long as there is a flow of population, there is a flow of homesickness. So the first half of the film. Although it is the same as most of our hometowns, there are various small places, but the main theme is Yu Guangzhong's "Homesickness".
I needlessly criticize my hometown too much. Because the hometown actually represents the mother, the original era and the original self in ourselves. It is the beginning of our life that we cannot choose. Although there is no chance for us to display our ambitions, the heroine is still in Brooklyn and in Ireland.
For example, in the film, when the heroine went to the priest’s Christmas dinner hosted by the old Irish man in New York, the heroine asked the priest why they didn’t return to their roots. The priest said, "If young and talented ladies like you have no room to play, they will not be able to survive when they go back." (There is not much dialogue in this film, but every sentence is full of chicken soup) and The long Irish old man’s music sounded. At this time, silence is better than sound, and it is also a sin not to cry. The theme of the film, "The hometown you couldn't live without, will also be the hometown you can't go back to" came to the screen. However, the city you are passionate about may not be your paradise. "It is these man-made tunnels, bridges, and highways, but no one knows what they rely on for survival." The film has actually planted the real intention here: it depends on the individual. Hometown and foreign land are not good crops.
Then the embarrassment that the hostess encountered when she left her hometown and came to the city of her dreams unfolded one by one. However, the film beautifies and reduces the contradictions. Because the film wants to concentrate the contradictions, it chooses two representative points: the integration of the working environment and the living environment. In fact, the tone of the film is still very idyllic in general. At least she has always been funded by fellow villagers-the priest, who is also an Irishman, paid her free travel expenses and tuition fees. Did you think that the priest wanted to be her godfather like me? Have you ever felt like I did why this kind of pie didn't hit us on our heads? In Sao Nian, remember that film is an art that is higher than the reality of life, and what kind of small and fresh tone beautified in this film. In fact, this represents a kind of intention: the reason why many people can leave their hometown is because their hometown also gives you a helping hand. The place where you want to leave is constantly supplying you with blood. In addition to missing her pain, there is actually not much human and environmental resistance to her pain. In the first few years how many people rushed to a foreign land, they just gave a bed and started to fight the world. How many people can't find it after half a year of work. The heroine's life has gone smoothly. So before she met the male protagonist, I thought she had facial paralysis, but later discovered that it turned out to be to set off her depression in her hometown, and kept her in control of her expression, making her feel unhappy.
She really opened up when she met the male lead. Although only a plumber, it is definitely not of the same magnitude as the plumbers in our country. Sometimes courteous and humorous, when inviting her to dance, she said, "Just pretend to be able to dance". There is no such thing as an overbearing president who knows everything. Sometimes frank and straightforward: When you want to communicate with the heroine further, you will explain your life experience, motives, and understanding. The superiority of the big city is not expressly implied at all. Sometimes I am willing to listen: when I chat with the hostess, I am full of listeners, wanting to understand her world. There is no perfunctory ignorance at all. Sometimes blunt and cute: when I want to invite her to meet her parents, she is uneasy and expresses her inner monologue, without the self-righteous face of a man. Facing her coming home, she has to use marriage to tie her up. The most important thing is that as a plumber, you are so handsome, okay?
So affectionate, it's unscientific! Why didn't he lie to her to engage in MLM or her body? Although the female protagonist faced the male protagonist, she started to try a little bravely, "Even if the first date is not going well, I will give you a second chance." An old lady is willing to go out, can she start a new life here and bet It's tragic on you. Hey, I really don't know the blessing when I was born in blessing. She didn't know that her life had really gone from now on. Roommates made various suggestions for her to see her parents dating, and even her boss also blended in to help her resolve homesickness and help her take a good date. Ladies and gentlemen, how many bosses are so kind when you smash your face at your clients when you work because of your personal emotions? The rhythm and efficiency of big cities are not close to human feelings, and they are completely hidden. This is not an opening. What is an opening? Afterwards, he successfully obtained the certificate for further studies, and transferred to a civil position with ease.
At this time the main theme of the film began to change. Adapted from "Homesickness" to "Chameleon".
One of the most important bonds of the hostess in her hometown, her sister passed away. My sister is the most tender representative of her hometown. She once said, "I can buy you clothes for a lifetime, but I can't give you the future you want" (another bowl of chicken soup). There is an angel who silently guards. This change made her have to go home.
After returning to her hometown, she encountered a situation that most people who returned home might encounter: her hometown suddenly saw her. Decent work, local rich and handsome, and three aunts and six wives walking on the road. Of course, and most importantly, she needs her old mother. Go or stay? This is a problem. She said to herself, it would be great if all this happened before I left! Sister, you were not gilded before you left! What they love, is it the real you or the foreign you? I don't know. The line of "Isabella" is "There is no gilding in the United States. They don't look down on you, but they don't see you." While
she chose, I was anxious outside the screen. When she finally met her former boss who thought he was trying to sway her, she suddenly woke up. The hometown will not change. But she has changed. She is already in Ireland and in Brooklyn. She has successfully transformed. At that time, when she didn't know what the outside world was, her hometown couldn't give her a future. Now she is like an upgraded player, and the hometown scene is no longer suitable for her to fight monsters.
The hometown can be used to remember, to visit, to support each day in a foreign country, but it cannot be used as a spare tire or as a back road. Just because there is no turning back in the bow.
Many people would wonder if she would stay if she hadn't met her former boss. The former owner is just a representative. Even without her, there will be other three aunts and six poems. This is the artistic technique of the movie. What she can't get around is the law that we can't step into the same river at the same time. If she can't see through, then her life will stand still, but as I said, the director hinted through the priest's mouth when the film was at the Santa Claus dinner, and Ye Luo could not return to his roots.
In short, this movie is a love letter to my hometown. Although I choose to leave you, I have never forgotten you. I have your support every step of the way. Without you, there would be no me. The reason why I can leave without hesitation is that you give me strength. No matter where I go, I am your continuation. I make you better. This is why there is such a role as a priest. He can be regarded as a representative of the true energy of the film. Watching this movie will make your homesickness less impulsive and sad. Because life will continue.
