The
film,
Brooklyn is a charming and refreshing romantic alternative to the
biographical dramas currently released at theaters. As well, it is a
consolatory to watch a movie about Irish immigrants that is less than
bleak. I
however cannot promise that you will not shed a tear or two, but you
will leave happy. It appears to be the finest period piece that is out
this season. It
takes place during the 1950's, and the attention to detail in the form
of
costumes and locations are outstanding. A young and beautiful lady
embarks on a sojourn from Ireland to the United States. She settles in
Brooklyn, where the Irish and the Italians shared a common neighborhood
and past, both were struggling immigrants, and both suffered from
stereotypes and prejudice. As love
often is, it is rooted in propinquity––it blossoms many times from the
state of
being close to someone within the same proximity, which leads to a place
where young love often leads, to temptation.
The
movie
is another Oscar contender for Best Screenplay adaptation from a novel,
perhaps
a Best Actress nod for Saoirse Ronan, Best Supporting Actor for Matt
Glynn, or Emory Cohen, who won my heart, Best Cinematography, and
definitely a contender if not a winner for Best Costume Design.
