I thought the Vietnamese movies really taking off with new fresh ideas and stories, until I watched "The house of flying daggers" I could not believe that the Vietnamese movie maker copied the main story lines from the Chinese movie, in both movies had a cop pretended to be friends with the girl in order to get to the opposition leader, they both had the cop helped the girl escaped from prison, they both had the captain followed the cop and the girl in the woods, and yes they both had the cop fell in love with the girl againsted the captain's order... What I am trying to say to the Vietnamese movie makers is this: Be creative, don't copy others, and thank you for your hard work, I really enjoyed your movies!

His "Buffalo Boy" was one of the greatest Vietnamese movies of all time. BTW, could someone please write a few lines about Stéphane Gauger. Is he half Viet and half French ? Did he ever attend school, lived or worked in VN ? or he made film about VN because he just interested in our culture ? Thanks. Elaine I can’t wait to watch another film by Nguyen Vo Nghiem Minh.
