After seeing this sweet little film, I wanted to make my own movies. More to the point, I wanted to run right out and buy my own movie camera and be a cinematographer. I am a still photographer (25 years), but after viewing "Green Papaya," I wondered why I hadn't been into film making before. A very simple story, a little Vietnamese girl with an irresistable grin, views the world closely, passionately. Suddenly she ten years older, and finds herself the maiden to the same young man she had a crush on as a little girl.
