A very powerful story about life in the face of turmoil.
As a Vietnam veteran, this movie showed some insight into the struggles facing the Vietnamese people for decades.
Love comes to two people at the bottom of the social structure in Vietnam in the 1950's. A silk dress comes to symbolize how this love grows.
Two daughters can't go to school beyond 6th grade unless they wear a white dress.
I suspect most viewers will shed tears watching the joy and challenges facing this family.
This movie has been criticized within some circles, for good reason. There is a layer of propaganda or politics that comes out repeatedly. However, I see this as a reflection of the story itself as well as the times it is reflecting. Beyond the politics is a great story well worth watching.
