Tôi thay hoa vàng trên co xanh

I just watched this movie. Such a great movie! Safe to say one of the best I've ever watched. It was so... authentic!

Personally, as a Vietnamese American, I admit I will be a little biased in reviewing this movie. At the same time, I don't usually write review so this review wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for this movie.

I love every single main character, namely Moon and the two brothers. Their relationship with the viewers and with each other develops very nicely throughout the movie. It was simple and genuine yet also very complex and emotional.

The images, the angles, the music, the CGI, basically all the artistic elements of this movie worked very well! Beautiful sceneries mixed in with authentic crises are what made this movie so mesmerizing. I was so glad I was able to watch the movie. Vietnamese film has definitely come a long way.

Most significant cinematography masterpiece from Victor Vu yet.

The movie is set in 1980's rural area of Vietnam and the story follows 12-year old Thieu, his 7-year old brother Tuong and Thieu's childhood crush Moon. The brothers do everything together, play in rice paddies, running errands, sleep on same bed...their days are filled with curious adventures. Then one day Moon comes into the picture and incites Thieu's insecurities and jealousy towards his brother Tuong who, by hid nature, is trusting and full of innocence. Even when Thieu inflicts physical harm to Tuong, the younger brother continues to idolize Thieu and constantly seeks his approval.

One could easily pick up that the movie is a string of small episodes involving the lives of these three characters in rural area where resources are scarce and that the welfare sometimes depends on the sacrifices made.

This movie is a classical masterpiece..if you don't believe me watch it. You will feel sorrow like I feel. You can't control your emotions when toung crying just for a frog. You will see what true brotherhood is! Some scenes destroy your heart. You will regret why this happened to them. This movie is the most stunning and the most fantastic movie I have ever seen.

Truly said, this movie plot is awesome. I feel way to think that, it's my childhood and I am playing with my brother. Director did his job perfectly. This movie had sorrow, love, emotions, brotherhood, and middle-class family poorness. Also, it has some extraordinary scenes that kill the bottom of your heart.

When you listen to this movie music it's like rain on the outside, wind blowing, birds chirping. You never heard that kind of music, I must say. The cinematography is superb, I am not able to critique it.

This movie summary is two brothers who enjoy their life so much. Playing together, fighting for each other. Helping others to find their love. When big brother misunderstands his small brother playing with man, Theou takes a strict and hit so hard his small brother. His small brother then said, "don't tell dad that you hit me, brother, tell him I fall in when I am climbing the tree." His brother paralyzed. Then theou understand what is love or brotherhood.

It is not for people, who love action movie. The movie is really slow and try to express the change in teenager's emotion for their first love. In addition, the movie express the strong bond between brothers in family.

The view, the picture, the music is very good. It makes me remember a lot when I was a kid, the horror stories that our grandma usually told us. It's so familiar. But the reason I point it 6/10 is because of the story, I mean it hard for me to follow the story, I think it is a little bit too fast.
