    Great work
    Great work for your first (public) movie, producers. And of course, it has to be a great teamwork for such a successful film. Although the movie is a bit abstract, it serves to bring back the painful memory of Vietnamese boat-people and remind our people of the cost we, our family members, our loved ones, had paid for where we are today. Freedom has its costs. The movie really shows how passionate you are about making movies and the missing part of Vietnamese history and writing about it in cinema pictures. The casting job was very well done. Long Nguyen and Diem Lien are very true to their roles. Kieu Chinh is irreplaceable. The lighting can be improved.
