Its romantic lite but does raise some issues. Do the children of immigrant ethnic families ever shake their ghetto roots? Do you have to move away to ditch the old baggage? By ghetto, I mean any ethnic neighborhood with its old-world mores. There are some strengths in these places but also some definite baggage.
My family is Italian, and truth be told the compulsory family emphasis drove me nuts. The continual harping on food, the role of the Catholic church. It was suffocating to me. Of course, the American Experience is kind of shallow too. Its blah like. Roast beef? I mean it's only a slab of meat, my friends.
In addition, is the pressure to marry and have kids? A reason to settle for the pickle guy? Yes, he does have other qualities. Her real yen is for that self-centered writer user. He is a bad choice.
Family pressure can be stifling. If most of them dont move on or elsewhere, their influence can be profound.
Is a professional woman complete without marriage and kids? . I would say its your life, live it. If it's wrong, it was your choice.
I know nothing about this ethnic NY area. It may not exist today. Little Italy's still exist, but like Boston's North End they are not what they were. My own grandfather immigrated to the US in 1903. He had no desire to return to the old country. He did work in the almost exclusively Italian community. My father moved away from that. I moved away still further. I think that resonated to me in this movie.
