Green Dragon (2001)

Sorry, this movie sucks

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I honestly do not understand why this movie is getting the kind of reviews it is getting.The acting was brilliant in all fields, I found the little boy who play Minh's character amazing, especially for that age.Very touched by the stories of every individual just because they where in a camp away from all the war doesn't mean the war is not there(including Swayze's and Whitaker's charterers of course). I found that the story to bring out a different part of the Vietnam war that is constantly looked over, well every war for that matter.Strictly a movie that is about people life story. I keep seeing reviews how they felt it was an "Anti-American" film because of a few scenes... Honestly the movie about the emotions of the people who is not in their home country that is being torn up from their own people, and their only way out is to live in a camp that is completely foreign. Try to comprehend that.This is a very good movie and it is worth a watch.

This movie is really good and this movie stars two actors that i really like and the actors are The great Forest Whitaker from the great movie Phone Booth and Patrick Swayze from the good movie Ponit Break.This movie some times gets a little bit boring And the acting by the hole cast in this movie is really great.There are some good scenes in this movie like when Forest Whitaker and a kid (Trung Nguyen) are panting a wall and when they finished it turned out to be really beautiful specially the Green Dragon in the painting.Over all this movie is really great and my rating is 7 out of 10.

I would recommend this movie to anyone who would like an accurate perspective of the South Vietnamese people. Unlike the previous critic, I will leave any misinformed politics aside. Although the war was highly political, and the movie does comment on the war, the film is not based on any political agenda like the previous critic leads you to believe. Instead, I believe the movie's focus is on the human stories of people struggling to forge a new life after their country was taken away from them. What is refreshing and what gives the movie credibility is that the director and most of the actors are Vietnamese, many of whom went through similar experiences as depicted in the movie after the war. In that sense, the movie is real, not just some form of propaganda "intended for the not-too-bright oversentimental without-a-dose of a history-lesson or critical thought Americans." It is a movie for Americans, Vietnamese immigrants such as myself, and people who dare regard the United States as the great and imperfect hope that it is.

This is an absolutely beautiful and touching movie dealing with a very painful time in history. Great acting, wonderful script, fantastic little details--a near perfect film. I just hope it can find its way to more screens.
