First Morning (2003)
A tragic film
23 June 2006 - 6 out of 20 users found this review helpful.
In short, this is a tragic film about the great price the Vietnamese Boat people had to pay for freedom. This price has meant broken families and broken lives. Yet despite it all, they overcome their adversity and make a new life in the new homeland. I'm not going to say much more than that because it would spoil the ending for anyone who has not seen it. But I recommend this movie to anyone, even those who aren't Vietnamese.
Oh, and contrary to a previous poster, I found the acting was quite good and the translation is one of the best that I've seen so far for a Vietnamese movie. Knowing the cultural nuisances would make this movie much more enjoyable to viewer. However, everyone should see it because the message in the movie is universal.
