Early in the Irish-Italian romance portrayed in the new film "Brooklyn," a precocious 8-year-old boy serves up the truth that everyone else gathered around the dinner table in his Italian family hid from the young Irishwoman visiting their home.
"We don't like Irish people," little Frankie says, much to the embarrassment of his big brother Tony Fiorello, who has fallen in love with Eilis Lacey, recently of County Wexford. The woman Tony fancies had sailed for Brooklyn as part of a 1950s wave of migration from a still-impoverished Emerald Isle.
