me, watching this & crying about moving back to college that's only 2 hours away from my hometown: (sighs dramatically) my life is just as hard as emigrating from ireland to brooklyn by boat in 1951

Coming from someone rather certain of his position on the "straight side" of the sexual orientation spectrum: I would fuck the shit out of Emory Cohen. Reminds me of a young Marlon Brando.

Edit: nah, I'm definitely pansexual.

here’s the thing: tony was obviously the better choice but the guy who plays him is a very bad actor and we all looked past it because he’s hot now. sorry bout it! real fans remember when he played debra messing’s heinous son leo on nbc smash which absolutely ruined his career from the start because you can’t just unsee a bowl cut that severe. please google it i sometimes see him in the corner of my room when i have sleep paralysis

imagine THE IMMIGRANT as written by Nicholas Sparks and you'll be on the right track. ...but much more charming than that sounds. it's lightweight stuff with all sorts of issues, and it's absolutely insane that this can't be a studio film in the current climate, but Saoirse Ronan sells every damn second of it.

where is my tony fiorello

we cried on the plane laid ease

I don't know how I've never watched this before, given I'm both Irish & Italian?? This film made me cry so hard. Really beautifully shot too. Also worth noting that I didn't know if I had a bigger crush on Eilis or Tony throughout the film, so there's the bisexy tea of the week

tad sentimental

there are slightly unnerving parellels between this and the 2015 film Bakemono no Ko

Saoirse’s accent is something I would easily die for

Brooklyn is about finding happiness in a world where nobody wants you to be happy. I related to it more on a personal level than I did before and yet the first time I saw it, I related to it on a romantic level as well. It's by far one of my most favorite movies of all time. Ronan's performance is top-notch and the direction is perfect in every way.

Pleasantly surprised on this one. Brooklyn was one of those Oscar movies that didn't get much attention and was understandibly overshadowed by the rest of the field, but this was really well done in almost every aspect. I thought it also did a great job of representing the type of life an immigrant encountered in the time period.
