"Thank you for mentioning the film. It shall be, for me, a must see. When it is available on DVD, I shall use it in my class."Please do. Let me warn you in advance, the movie DOES NOT have a Hollywood type happy ending... It's the reality of war, people get seperated and killed. It's about struggle, family, love and yearning for freedom... It doesn't have "entertainment" value, per se. However, the VN war and the Vietnamese people forever will be part of our history either we like it or not.

No need to tell me. I fully expect this because the people of South Vietnam were shafted. From families being divided, to the reeducation camps, to the plundering of the south by the NVA, etc...'twas all a tragedy.
