I'm Vietnamese and I lived in Vietnam for a year and half, but moved in June. I'm so thankful I'm born in the US. Some kids in Vietnam are sweet, some kids annoy the hell out of me because they are spoiled and I'm talking about my cousins who lived in VN their whole life.
I'm adopted from China, I presume because of the one child policy, I'm better off here (Canada) than there, since I'm a girl... This movie reminded me of the difficulties I would have had to face had I not been adopted, I would have lived as a victim of the gendercide effect. This movie made me cry so much, I just cried and cried for so long.
I'll probably cry every time I see this movie, I wonder why beautiful movies like this aren't popular, I thought 'twas way better than some most movies.
such a good film with a lot of heart - it showcases complex relationships and very human emotions, as well as capturing the atmosphere of a third-world country (reminded me a lot of my own). this movie made me cry
just saw it on Amazon demand. Great movie. funniest moment is when we see all three together for the first time. Also, zookeeper is like the short Asian Tom Brady.
I'm Cambodian and this is a great movie. I saw the trailer n thought it sucked. I decided to watch it on Netflix on Playstation 3 and I love this movie.
I cried so hard!!!!!!! This movie is way sadder than anything i have ever watched combined!! From beginning to the end it was very VERY emotional! I swear the 5 people who disliked this, have no emotions and a heart!! Btw. I'm Vietnamese, so with me understanding what they saying, it just makes it WAY more emotional! Btw. I'm a dude!
Pham Thi Han is amazing, and the story that the movie tells is amazing: family is not limited to the gene pool in which you are born. Amazing movie. Buy it, rent it, get your hands on it and tell others about it!
Such a fantastic movie, and amazing acting by Cat Ly! I don't know why she isn't a famous independent and Hollywood film actress - she really has the serious talent.
@keithwattsjr Definitely the "official" trailer on the "Owl and Sparrow" WEB site is "so here we are" by bloc party. This trailer seems to have a different track.

Hello, this movie is already out in Los Angeles, Ca, also it is coming out in Houston, TX on April 3, Friday, 2009 in three theatres: AMC First Colony, AMC Studio, AMC Gulfpointe. My aunt's brother is the director of this movie.
These types of films are based on humanitarian and passion rather than comparing to American type of Hollywood that only targets mostly for profit and would rarely based on realistic situations like these that you would see. I have seen this movie already at the Asian Film Festival this year, but it will be open to the public Jan.~Feb. 2009. I recommend it because i think it's a good film and you guys should go see.
Many vietnames kids are mistreated in VIETNAM.,, not only to their body but to their eternal soul. GOD BLESS THEM. The communists don't do anything about it. But they don't even let the outsider to help the kids out. They don't even let anybody open any organization to help those poor kids out. THEY are the red devil, drink the bloods of helpless people. Selling people as slave to other countries. OH Vietnam, Is this a curse for killed a righteousness man. NGO DINH DIEM?
Ngo Dinh Diem was actually a rather corrupted man, but if you mean him as a nationalist symbol, then yeah. I guess him dying was a shame. Don't get me wrong. I'm Vietnamese, I was born in Vietnam, and I am aware of the country's history and circumstances.
