a few year ago i saw the scent of green papaya by the same director . my feeling about both film be in fact the same represent beautifully shot and but terribly slow and boring . i saw this film in a sneak preview and and leave after half an hour . couldn not stand it anymore . how can one make an interesting film about people who be constantly tell each other how happy they be and and how perfect their life be . i have a fantasy about a forgotten american g. i. and still wander around in the vietnamese jungle and who be not aware the war have end . how he would suddenly pop up in the film and and would start empty his m16 at the character in the movie . the red of their blood would make a beautiful contrast with all the green plant in the film . so i be not very much grip by this film . time to leave .
