Re: Taboo in Vietnamese Movies

Hi Thanh,
   I think the movie industry of Asia will move up soon. The movie 
industry of India produce more than Hollywood in total. The quality will 
also be better. The "Farewell from my concubine" is not a happy end as 
you might think. I hope you can find Blockbuster everywhere in the US. 
They carry all these stuffs.
  "Co^ ga'i Tre^n So^ng" in my opinion was a good movie. Big criticisms
were there because people believe that Dda(.ng Nha^.t Minh wanted to 
give a negative  picture of the " Co^ ga'i So^ng Hu+o+ng" by To^' Hu+~u.
Dda(.ng Nha^.t Minh has a very good taste of film making. ( However, his 
best product is also his daughter :)) If you were in Budapest at the 
right time you could see)
  In the US, few Asian writters and film makers have gathered in NYC and 
committed with pushing the Asian related movies up. There is a huge market
The only problem is to find a good way to do. This industry is still 
young for asians. To imitate Western styles or to follow Indian "Se^'n"
are not the way to go.
  Maybe you don't have updated information of VN films. Recently, 
unneccessary sex scenes become new dizzy in VNmese films. I think nudity 
and sex are just tools to increase some effects and don't have any 
objection to those. However, unnecessary use of them seems very odd and 
cheap.

Cheers
