This is not a romance

I am the only one who thinks that if someone hadn't exposed the fact that Eilis was married, would Eilis choose to restart his life in his hometown?

We will always encounter all kinds of temptations, especially at the best of times, but it is our choices that ultimately determine our personality. And what saddens me the most is that Eilis didn't break free from this temptation on his own.

Eilis came back from New York, learned, saw the world, developed better clothes, and maybe ditched the Irish accent she grew up with, so she became extremely confident, she was no longer the one who worked under Miss Kelly The obedient little girl, she can make things difficult for others as soon as she comes up, such as when she returns to her hometown and sees Jim for the first time; she can talk freely, just like she holds Jim's hand, People's Beach playing with the newlywed Nancy; she has a better job and the company respects her and can use what she has learned; not to mention Jim is a young gentleman with a home and land, she is the owner of the town focus of discussion.

So what did she do? The untouched letters were put away one by one, leaning on the shoulders of others, dancing a dance step taught by a boy waiting for her. It doesn't matter because no one is immune to temptation big enough, but ultimately we have to make a choice. Did Eilis do it? no. At least in my opinion, it was a last resort. You're here to stay, and as soon as Miss Kelly gets out about getting married, even if Jim chooses to forgive, Eilis' reputation is bad. You lived an elegant life in Brooklyn, dressed in styles not found in Ireland, but why? By man? Attaching yourself to a man and returning home in high spirits? Don't underestimate the power of gossip, especially in that out-of-the-way town. Eilis couldn't survive, she said to Miss Kelly aggressively: My name is Eilis Fiorello. (her husband's last name), and then had no other choice but to showdown and leave.

I know that Eilis bought the ticket for No. 21 early. I know that she had to delay her return because of Nancy's wedding. I also know the fact that she wrote to her lover and told her that she would be back later. But I've been waiting, waiting for her to say to Jim in person, I'm a man with a husband, you're great, but I love him. Rather than at the end of the film, like a child, he stuffed a small note of goodbye into the crack of someone's door.

When we think about it, a Phoenix man entered the city at a loss. The girls in the city liked him, took him to dance, accompanied him through one hard night after another, and made a private life on a sunny day. Later, when the boy returned to his hometown, he found that he was looking right at the lady of the landlord's house. She was not only a dignified and beautiful family, but also had land; the county was talking about the different people coming back from this city, and begged him to come to the government. a master. Suddenly one day, the menopausal Aunt Wang next door mysteriously pulled him over: Don't look at the dog-like person you are now, I know that you have made a white face in the city. Because of our love, he threw a letter of breaking up at the landlord's door and fled overnight. Ah, this poignant love is mixed with the grief of the first-generation immigrants, more like a female version of Julien without ambition.

I know that Eilis is not a white face, but what will the public opinion say? In a remote mountain village in an era when men and women were not yet equal, a girl got married outside and came back for a blind date. No matter what the facts were, the ending was indisputable. Why did Eilis' mother finally say I won't send you off? Except for the sadness for her daughter's private life, there is really no place to separate the old face. Originally climbed up with a good in-law family and was happy, but found that her daughter had already married a wife.

Of course, Brooklyn is an excellent film in terms of camera, music, and early plot control. But I don't think it's a love movie, because behind the thought she is mixed with the sad truth that is as chilling as Gone Girl.

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.
