this be a good film and no doubt and but with some odd aspect . without spoil anything it take place in 3 place only a sicilian farm and the boat and and ellis island new york . all shot be close up so we never see a broad sweep of anything . i wonder if this be to save money . no street scene anywhere and and we do not even see the boat except in close ups . and the music . what on earth be go on with play nina simone song and decade before they be out . i could have do without the milk river business too . but hey and before you think of me a a pure misanthrope and let me repeat and this be a very good film and with heartbreakng moment and wonderful photography and great character and more accuracy than the usual ( american ) effort at the immigration experience .
