Keep your eyes open and act like you know where you're going, you have to think like Americans.

The progress of society is also the history of struggle from generation to generation.
Those light, shadows and fragments can make people in different countries and places at different times feel the passionate burning years.

The love in the film may be the template of thousands of people of that generation, nothing special, ordinary but especially precious.

There are two things that moved me. One was the song that the Irishman sang when the heroine was doing a public welfare activity. It was natural to feel the taste of the hometown of those people, especially when they were surrounded by old people and wandering in a foreign land. Poor old man who can't go back.

Another clip is not a clip, it is a process from ignorance to maturity. The original girl's eyes went from being overwhelmed to firm and calm, as gentle as jade, and her temperament was just beginning.

In the words of the movie, keep your eyes open and act like you know where you're going, you have to think like an American.
No one had ever told her that it was something called "confidence".

Put it on a person, it will make you outstanding; put it on a country or a nation, it will create a world miracle.
Obviously, she already knew what to do and where she was going.

In addition, decolorize the film and watch it again with black and white images, don't have a nostalgic charm~

    It would be a pleasure to see this kind of bland feature film in a domestic cinema, narrating the story calmly, occasionally a little emotional and playful. The passage of my sister's death made my eyes sore. Saoirse Ronan did a good job and deserves credit. Loved it before going back to Ireland, and the character's motives are pretty bad for the handling of returning to the United States.

    Ireland is really like Japan in Europe, good at producing pure love films. It is possible to make such a calm, homesick story that lacks narrative energy, through the performances that fill the eyes without crying, the scenes and editing that are not rushed, and the soothing soundtrack that lays out the emotions. There is no passion to deplete hormones, and there is no such a tragic turn of fate, a seasick, America arrives; a letter from home, nostalgia freezes; an encounter, a new life begins

Brooklyn quotes

  • [last lines]

    Eilis: [instructing new immigrant] You have to think like an American. You'll feel so homesick that you'll want to die, and there's nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won't kill you. And one day the sun will come out - you might not even notice straight away, it'll be that faint. And then you'll catch yourself thinking about something or someone who has no connection with the past. Someone who's only yours. And you'll realize... that this is where your life is.

  • Eilis: I'd forgotten what this town is like. What were you planning to do, Miss Kelly? Keep me away from Jim? Stop me from going back to America? Perhaps you didn't even know. Perhaps it was enough for you to know that you could ruin me. My name is Eilis Fiorello.
