However, these do not prevent the film from still being a good-looking movie. Although it is the main theme, its description of many details is just like the experience of a newcomer to a stranger. Ellis Island in New York, across the sea from Liberty Island of the Statue of Liberty, is just like the gate of the United States. In the ship age, Ellis Island was the customs hall, the first pass for everyone in the immigration wave. There were a few small tables, and countless people who had just disembarked and had nothing left in a long line, accepting the death of a customs officer within a minute. The protagonist of the film, the Irish girl, is called Ellis.
This is what I took today.
The kindness of the seemingly unfriendly strangers who met on the road was even more heartwarming than the care of friends and relatives. Far away from homesickness, and the only connection with the homeland at that time was only letters like gold. When a group of fellow villagers in a foreign land sang the folk songs of their homeland, the thick nostalgia almost came out.
If you miss home so much, why not go back? This is also a question in the hearts of countless wanderers in the world. This contradiction firstly stems from another question: Why did you leave your hometown in the first place? The small Irish town where Ellis grew up seems to be quiet and livable, but there is no place to support her life vision-the career she likes, the love she likes. However, returning to her hometown from Brooklyn "gilded", she has a handy suitor and a job. It seemed that the reason for leaving here no longer existed, she was perplexed, and even gradually forgot about waiting in a foreign land.
This choice between advancing and retreating contains a sincere love story. Ireland’s hometown is beautiful and tranquil, but unchanging. This old-fashioned elegance is like pursuing a small opening in the hostess’s hometown; Brooklyn, noisy and hard, but colorful, this blazing color is like a simple and hardworking Italian plumber. Ellis is diligent and motivated, and he is kind to others; and Tony the plumber, whether it is young and solid arms, or the real simplicity and kindness, is more lovable; Tony whispered out the shot of "Ellis, marry me", completely It's all a snapshot of the living American dream.
I have no intention to condemn Ellis morally, this is indeed a difficult choice. If your hometown gives you what you want, who would want to leave it? The mean grocer wakes up his dreamer with a single word and helps Ellis make the right decision. When we leave our hometown, not only do we want a proud career and a happy partner, but more importantly, we want a broader world to run, even if the road is full of thorns. Although our hometown is a hotbed of dreams, we never want to be narrow-minded and poor people like grocery store owners.
