Someone asked why did I feel the need to mention First Morning, after watching Saving Face?

I think the title of the Chinese movie spoke volume. It clearly told me the main issue being addressed: Pride--to be exact, delusional self-serving "gratification", the kind of pride only “that” person cares about, while ruining the lives of others, or causing others a lot of pain and agony, trying to preserve such “pride”.

Both of the films, First Morning and Saving Face, decided to “overcome”, discard, and revolt against these “traditional thinking, belief, values or ways of life”, handed down to us from the “older” generations. Hence, the title First Morning: meaning there’s a new beginning.

That’s the common factor between the two films. Both are about our struggle to assimilate into the new society while trying to keep our own identity and heritage—be it the pressure from our elderly or just self consciousness.

Making it “more real”, Saving Face engaged me more, and convinced me to be more involved with the issues they brought up in the film.

As the result, I think they’d achieved their goal: Entertained the audience while engaging as well as educating the viewers about those sensitive issues that were delicately, and cleverly, presented in Saving Face.

Did you feel their “passions”? Do you agree or sympathize with their resolutions?

Hi ABC,
:)
Thanks for reading my posts, again. It took me two weeks to write those, so take your time. :P Yeah, VY cũng thích cách quay của Charlie Nguyễn nữa.

DEF,

Tại tui hông đủ tiền để mướn "thợ dziết chuyên nghiệp" đó man, mà vẫn muốn làm báo. Tính nhờ vả bạn bè, nhưng "nhờ người không bằng nhờ mình", nên đành ráng thử xem sao. Just in case.

Hello HJI & K,
:-D
Theo như ABC nói, cũng như DEF và ý kiến của những netters khác, phim Oan Hồn cũng không hay gì cho lắm (Tui chưa xem nên chửa dám có ý kiến.). This guy needs to work on his soundtrack/editing skill. Anyway, can I safely say that he's not our "answer"/hope?
…

Bà con ghé wa đọc thử rồi cho xin ý kiến nha?

Xưa nay tui vẫn không được khá mấy trong lớp Anh Văn, chỉ qua được lớp English 100 thôi.

Viết cho "người mình" đọc thì không thành vấn đề rồi, vì đa số vẫn không mặn mà lắm với Anh Ngữ, nếu không muốn nói là bị "dị ứng". Nhưng tui không muốn bất đắc dĩ phải "đem chuông đi đánh xứ người" mà "bà con" bị vạ lây, để cho "Mỹ" nó cười dân mình (dốt Tiếng Anh?).

Seriously, tell me what's wrong with my writing. I did get a "review"/revsision in TTVNOL, a Vietnamese website. How ironic, eh? :-D

Thanks.

Thank you for stopping by or sharing your view.

I'm not really interested in finding new friend or membership, but I would like it very much if any of you would join my discussion, though.

Anyone saw the CBS's movie, Pope John Paul II, last night?

Thanks, QA.

I've never got paid, anyway.

Can I "steal" their posts?
