Ròm

It make me wish to watch it again on the big screen. You won't regret watching this movie. It has a little bit like Parasites but different in its own ways. I first watched the movie with a bad feeling thought it had been cut a lot since the Busan cut and the movie would be bad but I was really really wrong, one of the best film I have watch.

For the first time ever, a "Vietnamese film" but made with passion, with love, the love for art, for this country's dying filmmaking industry. Ròm is definitely beautiful, is a masterpiece i would say. From camera angles that was so creative and magnificent, to a beautiful soundtrack, and some real acting skills from all of the characters. What else can I can say? Ah, yeah a completely strange but undoubtedly excellent concept was built up and ended( wait, but did it really end?) with the song CHAY. All of that created a MASTERPIECE. This is, without a doubt, the future of Vietnamese films. BIG RESPECT.

The film really took me on and off for a ride of emotions, especially for someone who had a time living with people who strived their way out of situations as bad as the characters in the movie was. I found the movie to be incredibly realist, and that angle was delivered by totally beautiful scenes. It is true that there are plots where the films get a bit confusing, which was explained to be due to necessary cuts in order to be approved by the government, which also was the reason that leads to the poor characteristic development in the characters. But in general, how the film is delivered really got me and it definitely deserves all it receives by now!

Very good film in which the characters are struggling to survive in a bleak, poverty-stricken part of Ho Chi Minh City that is controlled by a ruthless gangster. The main character, Nòm, is an orphan with dreams of reuniting with the parents who abandoned him after they were evicted from their home.

He earns money by running daily lottery bets to and from bookies and persists despite endemic violence, treachery, and literal hunger. He is wiley and relatively street savvy, having had to fend for himself for the last 6 years.

The movie itself seems to expose the seamy side of a capitalist society that provides little or no support to its poorest members, especially in a country founded on Communist principles.

You should watch Rom similar movies. Examples: Hereditary, Burning, Midsommar, American Psycho. No opening nor ending, confusing content, ... The movie isn't bad, you just don't have enough knowledge to understand it.
