"Brooklyn," based on the novel of Colma of toybina, made a new mark in the list of achievements of the Sundance film — transaction buying it was one of the most expensive for the history of the festival. This film, headed the ratings of the best paintings 2015, the year many reputable as themed, so and news publications, is a rare example of the coincidence of the intentions of the Director and simple desires of a wide audience, as far as possible from copyright movies.
The main character works is a young Irish eylis Lacey, forced because of unemployment and lack of prospects to leave the Old world, to change the habitual way of existence, going to meet the challenges of immigrant life in Brooklyn, where will not only social welfare, but and new acquaintances, of course, including a love story. The action taking place in the 50-ies of the 20th century, provides a fertile basis for the development of details thought out interiors, textures, fabrics and clothes — in industrial design, "Brooklyn" practically does not have competitors, so as rare paintings, like released almost simultaneously with the work of John Crowley's "bridge of spies" and"In the heart of the sea", so accurately and details convey the atmosphere and style of the chosen era, and considering the budget of "Brooklyn" was only 9-th of millions of dollars — work accomplished seems truly magnificent.
Director Crowley went all the way from the"Druid" and"gate" to the West end, and then the Broadway, having a prestigious IFTA, makes "Brooklyn" a result of the mix of methodologies Tom Hooper, if he paid half the attention to aesthetics, and Steven Spielberg, if he chooses reject the implication, no longer do heroes monumental. In other words, "Brooklyn" is a narrative of a sentimental novel, not require the audience neither a bit of effort, no one of the the side of reflection and create semantic constructs, deliberately omitted by the Director. Of course, if you talk with the standpoint of the philosophy of art, presenting the requirements for the rise of daily pursuit of the creation of new meaning, something "Brooklyn" is not exactly what deserves close attention, but a particular case in the form of a short story by toibin — is a domestic story, artless is aimed at education and so it istraktura on screen.
Nick Hornby, speaking here in the role author and the adaptator of another literary work, spent with the book version of "Brooklyn" process under the name "optimization". Colm toibin being a playwright, from which is the Central feature of the creative method is the straightforwardness and the fundamental lack of verbal delights, sometimes turning into the acute lack of contextual sense, made "Brooklyn" kind of a story in the style of daily life where the heroine is a priori, worthy of admiration, and critical the moral assessment does not seem to be significant features. Toibin absolutely not use the historical realities of the 1950-ies (for example, demonstrations contrast the economic differences of the situation in the United States and the UK at the time), not cause any of idioms and special adverbs (e.g., actor James Franco almost always speaks as Latino in Brooklyn the first half of the 20th century, which already there is that initially it is very shocking listener) those or other characters, which, given the locations of the novel, obviously, take place. "Brooklyn" — this is distilled a love story created for to be admired the reverent nature.
Screenwriter of the film recycles the novel, extracting from him a rather large part, adding some of the details of the final and absolutizing a positive image of the heroine eylis. You can blame Hornby in that it is being a copyright the works of playwright several semantic spaces, makes "Brooklyn" a one-dimensional, removing such, for example, sketches, as hidden homosexuality of one of characters or vymaryvaya same line with the teacher evening school in addition to teaching skills, have experience of endless misery gained in a concentration camp in World war II. But Nick is on the way to reduce costs, so as Tobin declares and does not develop the potential of the above ethically important attributes of the novel, preferring the love component, and leave all Hornby derogating from it, he had to completely rewrite the source material to all was done one level of quality, withstands dramatic match.
As the historical details the writer is not concerned about were, particularly sensitive viewer will see "Brooklyn" at it all gloss extremely clear plot movement, two critical moment (unless, of course, to assume that "Brooklyn" can claim to receive a status film classics). The first is the presence of a love triangle, the output of which is solely at the will of the author, so as there is not just the obvious object of moral authority, but and there is a fundamental lack of structure of the conflict. Therefore, we can say that the fans Emory Cohen it is possible to depart it, and fans of Donal Gleason will likely choose your red-haired pet.
The second thing is that when you closer examination might seem to some even offensive, is the attitude of the Colma toybina to the UK, moved to the screen unchanged by the authors of the tape. So as a writer focuses solely on external attributes, it representation of Ireland depressing and dark, her women go to worn woolen blouses marsh flowers and surprisingly considering eylis Lacey, who took over the fashion of the New world, strikingly contrasting their open dresses and sunglasses from the life of former compatriots. Undoubtedly, the author was the intention for the opposition to the American the humiliation of the Brits, so it in principle, not out the limits of the literal, but if you come to the rating of "Brooklyn" with the standards of high drama, then it is possible to justify this unpleasant incident.
The film's success is not would so loud, if not the female lead saoirse Ronan. She does not play by the says that for most Actresses have is an unprecedented achievement, but masterfully creates a complete image and is able to hold large plans without words, not capable of many winners of the prestigious "Oscar". In addition, Ronan demonstrates the dignity of women and old-fashioned beauty (which is not promise angularity the freckles of adolescence), not leave her chances the covers of glossy publications, but procesie great acting career (with the right choice in the dilemma of "compensation authority", of course). Even if your interests are far from melodramas, and Brooklyn entertaining as part of the battle for long island, but not as the title of the movie, then you all still worth to watch this cinematographic novel, because Ronan — just an example of breathtaking beauty, enchanting and a definite outside depends on any circumstances preferences and fashion.
Let "Brooklyn" is not studying lexical basics of the name "Breuckelen", yeah and all the skill of nick Hornby insufficient to the semi-final it seemed apparent after the first third of the duration, and immigration, how the basis of the plot, not becomes an allegory on growing up and parting with childhood, but in "Brooklyn" has the art the certainties and the belief of the author in the characters gives any work the ability to speak directly to the viewer, even without answer, but here is the one-sidedness is deliberate choice by the Director, and no neither a falsehood, nor cheap flirting, and only one of a charming naivete.
