That war, it tore families, it tore loves and it tore a whole country. After wards, no one completely won. Only loss, fear and tears left. However, I still feel lucky that the North has won, because if they haven't, VN would have been like North and South Korea - no country, just boundary, and people keep killing.
In Vietnam us Americans were the bad guys and the vietneis were the good guys because we invaded Vietnam and killed and rape civillians because we thaught it was cool.
I see you point and yes it is true but please check your spelling. It makes your statement seem invalid. Remember innocence was lost, to both the American soldiers and MORE so the Vietnamese, who were fighting for more than a half a century for their liberation. Oliver Stone's three movies on Vietnam involve the theme of the lost of innocence. And that is quite an important condition in the result of war.
I really recommend to buy DVD with this film. There is also alternative beginning of the movie with 45 minutes of extended scenes showing birth and childhood of Le Ly and life in village.
Oliver Stone did great job in introducing of eastern culture.
Having seen this, I think memoirs of a geisha is extremely overrated. And YES I know that those movies really don' t have anything to do with eachother and are about very different subjects, it just came to my mind because they're both based on a true story.
It was a great film, because it showed not just the point of view from United States of the Vietman war, but also the point of view of this war from Vietman. It was very sad, indeed.
Sorry i dont know the name but i know where to find it, buy the Movie soundtrack or just go on wikipedia, type in "Heaven and Earth soundtrack" it should give a full list of songs/tunes, etc and their names.
Hey Pat, I've wondered for years what this song was from. Love it. Worked for studio marketing years ago and it came up in this trailer and several others we worked on which leads me to believe its stock audio. Since I heard it in others it may not be just for HaE (It came up in a version of "The Truman Show" we worked on). Have tried iphone apps to detect to no avail. i may be wrong but can't seem to find a source.
I am proud to be vietnamese, you can't imagine the spirit of vietnamese countryland. You can't imagine the feeling when you are sitting in the middle of endless rice field and fishing small fishes, while people are working on their fields. I know that all how does it feels and wish you could try to feel the harmony too.
That is Viet Cong for you, they come to your house, keep you hostages and forced you to helped them, and if you rebelled they will shot you, or worst they buried you alive.
The trailer is beautiful but the movie was so brutal to watch. Rape, torture, executions, very tough film to watch and I was 10 years old when I first saw this movie back in 1994. I actually cried when I watched it.
@elmando5 You and I were the same age when I saw this movie! sometimes I had to seek and watch it behind my mom's back even if I would get trouble if she found out because of certain scenes in the movie at 10 years old you're not suppose to see like the rape scene and I'm sorry for some of you who didn't see the movie to give that information away lol but still it's a good movie and I hate the fact I missed buying it in a combo pack now that I'm a adult!
i loved this movie. i liked how heaven and earth were like two spirits both in love but fighting in the main characters life. it is a story that was beautifulluy told. it is one of the many master peices that will go down in history.
Incredible movie! Its no surprise it was a box office flop though. It was part of a trilogy. Platoon dealt with differing attitudes amongst the US soldiers to the war. Born on the 4th of July concentrated on how the veterans were largely treat on their return. Then Heaven and Earth which others have rightly pointed out dealt with the vietnamese people. I guess there's still too much anger about the war to accept this episode. That's a shame. There are always two sides to a story.
Great movie and also very sad. It would've been more authentic if the Vietnamese family members didn't speak English to each other though. I suppose they had to film it that way to sell it to the American people. I wish Hiep Thi Le was in more movies.
Buy it or rent it. But the internet is definitely not the place to watch that film. This beautiful epic was unfairly rubbished by some critics when it was released in the 90's.
@hivernales I believe they did that because many were not ready to hear the truth about what was really going on in veitanam(spelled wrong i think please forgive.) and it is sad because this was a great film.
This was shot entirely in the Philippines! :D
