Yuna : I watched SG Eclipse at the cinema. That movie hasn't been shared on internet yet (I guess it's because that movie was boring Sad

they don't talk much about it in some forum where I used to find movies at)

fimfim: Hanoi Hanoi is a Vietnam - China movie, the main character of it is a young Chinese actress. She won the Best Main Actress award of the Vietnamese movie award 2007 named Cánh Diều Vàng. But that movie was even worse, nobody cares about it except professional people in the movie industry. So you will never find it on internet.

Here's "Ao Lua Ha Dong" for you guys:

@ih2try: Thank you for sharing Ao Lua Ha Dong. I learned from my mistake of downloading Muoi and went through the whole hassle for a substandard movie. Well, in your opinion, is it any good?

GiGi, I actually havent downloaded and watched this movie yet because of lacking of time. But I saw some good scenes of it on a presentation program and I think this movie is good compare to other Vietnamese movies. There's blood, bomb, war, and tears and they can make you moved. If you're curious then you should watch it but dont expect too much of it. Anyway, it's a big file and will take days to download so if you feel lazy, skip it.

@ih2try: Thank you for the info. I will pass. Viet movies kept digging into the past and in many instances, characters are mostly underdeveloped and usually 1 dimensional. I just wish they deal a little more with the present. In addition. I find it is difficult to relate anyway since I am so ....1.5 generation. Well, I rather spend my time watching anime instead. Thanks again. Big Smile

Happy New Year to everyone in the Viet Community!

Sharing with you all here in the Viet community a song I recently came across. It's called "Bonjour Vietnam":
http://www.rangdong.com/BonjourVietnam/BonjourVietnam.swf

The song was written by a French artist (Mark Lavoine) and is sung by Quynh Anh, a Vietnamese-Belgian artist. I think that the song tells the story of how many of us feel.

Here are the lyrics in Vietnamese:

Bonjour Vietnam (Bản dịch tiếng Việt)

Hãy kể cho tôi biết cái tên khó gọi mà tôi đã mang từ thuở sơ sinh

Hãy kể cho tôi về đất nước xa xưa và về đôi mắt xếch của tôi
đôi mắt biểu lộ lòng tôi hơn những lời không dám thốt lên

Tôi chỉ biết quê nhà qua những hình ảnh chiến tranh
Qua phim của Coppola với những chiếc trực thăng hung dữ...

Một ngày nào đó, tôi sẽ về chào hồn thiêng dân tộc
Một ngày nào đó, tôi sẽ về chào Việt Nam

Hãy kể tôi nghe về màu da, mái tóc và bàn chân nhỏ bé của tôi
Đã theo tôi từ lúc mới chào đời

Hãy kể tôi nghe về căn nhà, con đường và vùng đất tôi chưa biết
có chợ nhóm trên sông và thuyền tam bản

Tôi chỉ biết quê nhà qua những hình ảnh chiến tranh
Qua phim của Coppola với những chiếc trực thăng hung dữ...

Một ngày nào đó, tôi sẽ về chào hồn thiêng dân tộc
Một ngày nào đó, tôi sẽ về chào Việt Nam
Sẽ đi thăm những ngôi chùa, tượng phật, thay cho cha
Chào hỏi những người phụ nữ cấy lúa trên ruộng đồng, thay cho mẹ

Trong lời nguyện cầu, trong ánh sáng chan hòa, tôi sẽ gặp lại các anh em

Trở về sống với tiếng lòng, cội nguồn, với đất mẹ quê cha

Một ngày nào đó, tôi sẽ về gặp lại linh hồn của tôi
Một ngày nào đó, tôi sẽ về chào Việt Nam

Hello Vietnam

Tell me this name, strange and difficult to pronounce
That I have carried since my birth

Tell me the old empire and the feature of my slanted eyes
Describing me better than what you dare not say

I only know you from the war images
A Coppola movie, (and) the angry helicopters

Someday, I will go there, someday to say hello to your soul
Someday, I will go there, to say hello to you, Vietnam

Tell me my color, my hair and my small feet
That I have carried since my birth

Tell me your house, your street, tell me this unknown entity
The floating markets and the wooden sampans

I could only recognize my country from the war photos
A Coppola movie, (and) the helicopters in anger

Someday, I will go there, someday to say hello to your soul
Someday, I will go there, to say hello to you, Vietnam
The temples and the stone-carved Buddha statues for my fathers
The stooping women in the rice fields for my mothers

Praying in the light to see my brothers again
To touch my soul, my roots, my land...

Someday, I will go there, someday to say hello to your soul
Someday, I will go there, to say hello to you, Vietnam (twice)

Following is a duet sung by Quynh Anh and Marc Lavoine. It's a French song called "J'espere."
