  • Da 5 Bloods

    Da 5 Bloods 2020

    ★★★½ Watched 14 Jun, 2020

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    The irony is not lost when the black and yellow men still had to shoot each other because of the white man.

    PS: Also it's refreshing to see a movie about Vietnam being shot with actual Vietnamese actors and actresses (hello, other VN-US war movies). Very good perspective other than "We shot them VC good! But we sad!" stuff we usually got as well.

  • The Farewell

    The Farewell 2019

    ★★★★★ Watched 04 Feb, 2020

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Let me preface this review by saying that I watched The Farewell during my flight back to Europe, from my homeland, Vietnam. There, I just visited my maternal grandmother's grave, who passed away less than 3 months ago. I also hugged my paternal grandma, my last remaining grandparent, goodbye with the ever-increasing fear that the next time I come back, she wouldn't be there anymore.

    This might be why this movie affected me a lot more than it should be…

    1917 2019

    Bias review of a Mark Strong stan:
    -The shots on Mark alone are enough to win this movie a Best Cinematography Oscar.
    -His calves deserve their own credit. And his cane.
    -Absolutely worth watching for his few minutes alone.

    Now review like I am a normal person:
    -The movie is absolutely gorgeous. Mendes and Deakins did it again! Watching this in IMAX made the whole experience even better. Sometimes, I actually felt slightly nauseous because of how tense I was. What everyone else said about it's like you being there? It's true. This will be a movie that I'll rewatch in the future.
