Where the heart is, is the hometown

The heroine acted very well, showing no timidity in many long-term close-ups, showing a freedom of retraction that does not match her age. It's a matter of time before you want to win an award.
I can fully understand her evasion and hesitation. This Xiaokai in her hometown is so good, talented and handsome, young and rich, and most importantly, she has the same cultural background as her; while the American husband, although gentle, affectionate and considerate, There is no culture, and even a letter is not easy to write, which is far from her motivation and eagerness to learn. Change it to any girl who is not deep in the world, I am afraid that she will be hesitant to decide between the two ends.
However, all of this is so contradictory. If she hadn't gone to the United States, had not had that experience, had not been cared for by the seemingly harsh but friendly bosses, roommates, and landlords, and had not had her husband's careful care and company, she would not have become what she is now. Her self-confidence, dignified appearance and radiant appearance made friends envious of her who made Xiaokai emotional.
I think even if there is no malicious catalysis from the supermarket owner, she will still have to go back after all, and it may be delayed for a few days. After attending her friend's wedding, she and Xiaokai will spend a while to enjoy the ambiguous feeling of a second love. But after a while of greed for joy, when you wake up, you will eventually realize that your hometown is actually a foreign land. The old woman's meanness and viciousness only awakened her in advance: this closed town can't give her a vast world, and can't allow her to run freely. Her future and her dreams are all on the other side, not to mention, there is her on the other side. s husband.
Why should you care about being a foreign country as your hometown, where your heart is, is your hometown.

    He told a story about "Drunk Li, who knows himself as a guest, makes his hometown his hometown". The director has a good overall control, the heroine is comfortable and natural, and the acting is delicate. The soundtrack is beautiful. The "other" love story in the second half is somewhat controversial.

    I think this story is very moving and the portrayal of love is delicate and warm. Tony is an uncertain beauty on the other side of the ocean, and Jim is the mediocre tenderness of his hometown. Eilis' struggles, her yearning for the big city, and her nostalgia for her hometown should be felt by everyone who has left home and wandering away. The popularity of online languages ​​is also quite terrible, "Green Tea Bitch" is now a word that keyboard guys blurt out.

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.
