Quote from the movie “Brooklyn” (2015)

The heart of Brooklyn is the story of a young woman’s growth path in search of her identity and independence, a concept well expressed by one of the film’s most important lines:

“Until one day the sun rises, you probably won’t notice it right away, its light will be dim and you’ll find yourself thinking of something or someone who has nothing to do with the past, someone who belongs only to you, and will understand that your life is there.” – Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan)

The viewer of “Brooklyn” will not only witness the narration of a love story that brings together the heroine of the novel with her lover and her family, but will also witness the story of a deep connection with the places in which the events take place.

So we can say that this quote sums up the meaning of “Brooklyn”: The place we relate to most is not necessarily our homeland, but the land where we decided to put down roots and build our lives.
