no offense but if u think she picked the wrong guy u have god and also me to answer to
tony is the human embodiment of 'when you ask her about her day and she really tells you and you enjoy it because you love her'
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.
51/100
Second viewing, no change, and now I understand why I find it so underwhelming. In theory, it's about Eilis being torn between her original home and her adopted home, but conveying that without the benefit of the novel's interior monologue is beyond Hornby's or Crowley's abilities—and even beyond Ronan's, ultimately. As a result, the film is forced to rely almost entirely upon external forces to shape Eilis' decisions, and said forces are kinda banal: She warms to America because she meets a nice fella, then finds herself drawn back to Ireland because she meets another nice fella (and gets offered a job she wants). And then her decision to get on the ship is inspired not by an unexpected…
WOW. the last 5 minutes of this film are so soul-crushingly beautiful.
films like this make me so excited to fall in love.
saoirse, i love you so much.
"home is home."
this film really is out there making me wonder if maybe true love does exist after all ???
love in Blue Valentine: dead and gone
love in Brooklyn: alive and well
WHO is the liar!!! WHO is the scammer!!! this bitch doesn't know!!!!!!!
fuck!!!!!!! my slowly disintegrating lifeless heart has been recharged with electric sparks of love and hope and moulded back together for the foreseeable future until it begins to rot again and crumble into a grey ash and the only way I can save it is by watching this film!!!! it’s gonna be a real hassle at times but I figure it’s worth it!!!!!!
