i guess when people say this be beautifully film they be talk about the close ups of frog and the cooking of meal . it certainly doesn not refer to the set which seem to be compose of about 3 room with no outside shot at all . also all of it be film too close up . i get sick of the little boy who keep fart at miu or pour hot wax over ant . also do vietnamese spend all their time sit on their haunch . kind of gross look at least the way this movie depict it one close up of it would have be plenty not a dozen or more . then finally come part two . a chick flick for vietnamese girl with the perfect handsome rich man who spend all day play the piano ( he be culture ) . the pretty maid steal him like the forbidden green mango fruit . deep . except for a few nice close ups this film be a dud . it be sort of a soap opera with out dialog . it be cloy . how be it beautiful . the set look completely fake . no do not make the mistake i do and rent it because someone recommend it . i be expect beautiful shot of the coastal mountain of vietnam or something when i hear it be a visual gem . i want to like this movie . i like foreign movie even prefer them . but this movie be dumb and dull . it will leave you irritate that something like this win a bunch of prize .
