Review of The Beautiful Country (2004) by Frances H — 25 Feb 2013
The Beautiful Country is a very touching film about the hardship of a half American boy in Vietnam and his lonely existence as an outsider everywhere, both in his own country and culture, which reject him, and as a foreigner in America.
The terribly difficult trip to America and suffering along the way remind us what our own ancestors went through--the immigrant experience and the lack of acceptance, the grief of the passing of those who die on the journey,and the hard work here that is much the same as the hard work back home.
It is a beautiful film that follows Binh's pilgrimage to find acceptance and a home, and well worth seeing.
