Dreamy Eyes

Impressive scenery and cinematography brings viewers back to Saigon in the old time, acting adequate but not amazing. Slow pace especially in the middle, and story not explored deeply enough. The unrequited love mechanic gets weary after a while with few twists or complexities. Pretty much zero effort in makeup to make the characters look as if they've convincingly aged while the daughter ages markedly.

The story build up was pretty decent till it got to the point where everybody gets depressed as hell. They backed it up with astonishing cinematics and music but surely for nothing. The reason why they couldn't be together was horrendous and made it so hard to watch honestly.

This is film-making at its absolute finest. Technically superb, nuanced, divine casting, colour, light, humour. It enthralled me. If you are tired of Hollywood's wndless 'kill conquer rinse repeat' format, watch this film with people you love.

This movie has a beautiful scene. I love every scene in this movie. Do Do market, is quite good. I feel I actually live in this period. But I think this movie is just a thank to someone who has read original story. The love from Ngan and Ha Lan are not deep enough. I can't see why Ngan love Ha Lan so much. He just love her in Do Do not her in the Sai Gon. But how can he follow her like that. I don't understand this. Everything has not deep enough.

How can you watch this movie if you are in the US?
