one of the few -just not for saying that's the only movie that talks from the Vietnamese side, and actually puts a lot of criticism on us red neck racist wars.
@TheSteelydanfan The books were written by Phung Thi Le Ly Hayslip, who was the character portrayed by Hiep Thi Le (she also has a cameo part in the movie). I, too, read both books. Both books are very good and I loved the movie, but the movie was somewhat different than the books. One book is called 'Child of War, Woman of Peace', but I forget the name of the other.
03:26 Obviously not trying to be disrespectful or ignorant, but why do certain vietnamese villlagers darken their teeth like Hayslip's mother? Anyone know?
@GeishaDevi Yes. It's the north Vietnamese tradition. In our religion, having black teeth is one of Vietnamese women's beauty. Is this make sense to you?
this fim is really good. But I do not know why they used Chinese music for the base music (I knew this, because I am Vietnamese) and why mother and her daughter talk together by English... it is not true. This is the Vietnamese farm...
@nguyenhaivan07 because this movie was made for English speakers.................. Noone cares when actors speak English in ancient Rome/Greek films........
This movie is so heart touching! This is a real story of a young woman who experienced the real war in Vietnam. She lives now in USA, hopefully happily!!!!! Lely, you are a strong woman. You should be very proud of you and your fighting spirit!!!
so stupid the movie has an accent fucking racist american translators how can you have an accent if your supposed to speak in your own language?? yankeeshankee

the reason why this movie is underrated that is because it tells the truth about how evil, inhuman U.S and VNCH army were
