Dear friends,

I would recommend Burnt by the Sun to Russian movie lovers.

I don't remember many Eastern block films, but I can never forget
some of the titles, eg Nhu+~ng -du+'a con cua? Ga^'u me. vi~ 
-da.i--what a name! Great stuffs for us kids. 

What do you think of American films? They seem to be very popular
in Vietnam. And Vietnamese films seem to be very unpopular. Do you
think that the Vietnamese film industry can survive without subsidy?
What would you say that the characters and strengths of Vietnamese
cinema is? What can Vietnamese cinema try to capitalise on?
Eg many of the 80s and 90s Chinese films play on the last feudal
period and living through the revolutions themes, the great Japanese
films of the 50s and 60s play on the feudal and samurai themes...
