About this product

Product Information

Binh (newcomer Damien Nguyen) is an outcast in his small village and the quiet hero of this affecting drama, which opens in the lush landscapes of the Vietnamese countryside. The son of an American soldier and a native woman, Binh is considered in his country to be "lower than dust." Though he grew up in his grandmother's home, he is forced to leave when his aunt's new husband moves in, taking his place. Binh travels to Saigon in search of his mother, where he meets his small half-brother, Tam, and learns about his parents' life together. When disaster strikes, Binh is forced to flee with Tam, boarding a dangerously small boat of refugees with the ultimate destination of America. The ship is waylaid and the brothers are interred in a Malaysian refugee camp, where they befriend a beautiful young Chinese woman, Ling (Bai Ling). The three make their escape with the help of Ling's dubious connections with the guards, and embark on a voyage to New York that is even more fraught with peril than the last. They find themselves at the mercy of cynical Captain Oh (Tim Roth), as well as horrific conditions of deprivation and desperation among countless other refugees. Binh must constantly fight the class and cultural hierarchies that survive even under these circumstances. Upon arrival stateside, Binh's situation improves only slightly, but he perseveres in his quest to locate his lost father (Nick Nolte). Based on a story conceived by Terrence Malick, the auteur's touch is felt in the sweeping beauty of the photography and the wistful, haunting tone of the story. Nguyen's performance is utterly fresh, rendering the melodramatic nature of the material personal and intimate, while the subject matter itself frames the prescient issue of immigration in a story of universal appeal.

AN UNSUNG GEM OF A FILM
Thia is one of those rare cases where the blurb on the DVD case was spot on. It is indeed a most moving and sensitive film, beautifully directed and equally well acted by a cast of (to me) complete unknowns - apart, that is, from Nick Nolte. The story is a truly heroic portrayal of a poor Vietnamese youth, who has had to suffer the local scorn for having a American father who left his mother when he was a baby, and who is determined to find his father somewhere in the vast US of A. Whilst much of the film is truly harrowing, it is also uplifting, without any touch of sentimentality. Scenery is finely captured, whether in Vietnam or America. Apart from a rusty old hulk of a ship which inexplicably sports a crew of only one, I could not fault his exceptional film. No doubt it will stay with me for a long time to come. If you're into action flicks or special effects movies don't bother with this. If not, then DON'T MISS THIS ONE!Read full review

Powerful story of Asian refugees.
This film is is well made with strong performances by Damien Nguyen and Bail Ling. Although top credit is given to NickNolte ,Hollywoodnonsense because of his greater fame, he appears toward the end of the film and has little to do with it's power.It's solid story of the life journey of a mixedVietnamese/American man who is not really accepted in either culture but handles the racial abuse with stoic strength. Along the way the film paints a clear picture of what life is like for so many Asian refugees in America and abroad.It's a hard life with of people who are cheated, abused and used without any regard to them as human beings.

The Beautiful Country..Nick Nolteat his finest
This is one of the best Nick Nolte movies as really shows his range as an actor. The rest of the cast do a excellent job and the story line is touching and engaging.
