Review of Journey From the Fall (2007) by Jaye V — 17 Jan 2008
Even though it's one story, there are facets of it that anyone who came over from Vietnam, or anyone who has heard stories from their Vietnamese parents/aunts/uncles can connect to or relate to. I guess enough time has passed to be able to tell this story.
I didn't care for the final quarter or so of the movie as much, but up until that point I found myself crying off and on. To see the details of the stories more clearly that my mother, uncles, and cousins have told me.
To realize how treacherous it was on those boats. Each of my relatives has a different story, but this movie seems to share at least a couple of similarities to each of them. It made me realize just how lucky all of us are with how it turned out in the end.
I also really liked how the movie was parallelled to the most famous legend of Vietnam, and shows that the people of Vietnam will ways have and always will have one thing -- hope.
