{5\/5} “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.”<\/p>\n
Brooklyn<\/strong>, released in 2015<\/p>\n Eilis has arrived in America to start her new life. She missed Ireland and she finds working as a salesperson not particularly fulfilling. But the priest who arranged it so she could come has signed her up for a night class in bookkeeping. Maybe she can find a better job — and maybe she can find a young man to spend some time with. When Eilis returns to Ireland because of a death in the family she becomes torn between two worlds.<\/p>\n The story takes place in the 1950s.<\/p>\n Saoirse Ronan was always superbly talented as a kid and now that she’s a young woman that continues.<\/p>\n The story might be straightforward, but it’s told in a funny, sad, and beautiful way.<\/p>\n Stars Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters, and\u00a0 Domhnall Gleeson. Directed by John Crowley (Boy A<\/strong>). The Irish flavoured music is by Michael Brook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {5\/5} “I’ll tell you this much: I am going to ask Father Flood to preach a sermon on the dangers of giddiness.
