The Sympathizer (2024)
Mediocre
Downey Jr can act and has money, so he should have given other actors a chance like Mel Gibson and Favreau gave him..he looked ridiculous playing all those different characters with make up, I'm surprised he didn't put on a wig and makeup to play Sandra Oh's character. As for the captain, I can barely understand his Vietnamese and he's too young to play a captain and looks nothing like Eurasian and those contact lenses didn't help...why would they let a Korean director (Park) direct a Vietnamese series? He can barely speaks English and definitely does not know Vietnamese. Would you let a white director direct "12 years of slave"? Tran Anh Hung just won best director at Cannes film festival and Victor Vu and Hoan Tuan Cuong have films on Netflix and there are other good Vietnamese directors... only a Vietnamese director would know how Vietnamese talk, our mannerism etc...it's a culture thing. The book is better.
Qua Ben Lam Chi (2022)
Funny
Funny, fun, love...what an emotion roller coaster...a must see. The cast is wonderful, acting is on par. The way it was shot was fantastic...the sceneries, especially when it was in Vietnam where amazing. The world needs to see this, it will wipe away any premonition of Vietnam. The world thinks of Vietnam as a war torn country due to such movies as "Platoon," "Hamburger Hill," "Heaven and Earth," and many others but it's a wonderful, wondern country with beautiful beaches, mountains, villages, cities...etc. If more movies were shot in Vietnam, Vietnam will be seen in a new light and hopefully will change Vietnam's image...

Old farts
