An Irish immigrant lands in 1950s Brooklyn, where she quickly falls into a romance with a local. When her past catches up with her, however, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.

In 1951, Eilis Lacey is a young woman from Enniscorthy, County Wexford, a small town in southeast Ireland, where she lives with her mother and sister Rose. She is unable to find employment, other than working weekends at a shop run by the spiteful Miss Kelly, nicknamed "Nettles Kelly", and is not interested in the local young men. Her sister writes to Father Flood, an Irish priest in Brooklyn, who arranges for Eilis to go to the United States to find a better future.

Miss Kelly meets with Eilis and relates that she has learned of Eilis' marriage in New York. Eilis is reminded of what life is like in such a small, gossipy town. She informs her mother of her marriage and that she is leaving for Brooklyn the next day. On the crossing, she offers guidance to a young woman making her own first trip to Brooklyn. The film ends with Eilis and Tony reuniting and happily embracing.

等回头夸大宝啊，

这是说老移民y应该当水管工帮助新移民或者当搬运工的意思么？

我不爱会写影评， 喜欢看别人的评论，抄几段有共鸣的，

With compassion, a touch of melancholy and a sense of wonder, Brooklyn reveals the profound truths in a simple, familiar story, ending on a note that's achingly bittersweet, no matter where you're from.

Brooklyn is one of the best films ever made about leaving one's homeland in search of a better life, and forging a new path.

Crowley's unpretentious drama has a sensitivity for its protagonist's emotional journey that's richly rewarding throughout.

Brooklyn is heart-warming, funny, and thought-provoking. It also looks just ravishing.

这个看过。

应该是农民工进城必看。人家从爱尔兰乡下来纽约，并没有语言障碍的，只是口音和文化的差距。

电影画面挺复古的。我一开始以为是同志电影

值得一提的是， 演eilis的， ronan, 是一位天才童星，
小时候演 atonment 的 briony,

看过电影。。哭的很惨。。
