The Beautiful Country

At one time someone on this site recommended this movie to me. I had never heard of it before. Well, at the store yesterday there was a movie bin with movies, 3 for $10.00. This movie was one of them, so I bought it, Cheap Detective and Cliffhanger. I watched it last night.

As you know my daughter was Amerasian, see my book THE ANGEL FROM VIETNAM. This was a story about an Amerasian man who left Vietnam to look for his G.I. father who, his mother said, just never came back one day, just disappeared.

It was beautifully filmed, scenes of Saigon really intrigued me, half an hour of the film was in Vietnamese. He finally finds his father and the reason for him "suddenly just not coming around" are revealed.

This was well done and I would recommend it to anyone.

Here's a trailer. Doesn't really do it justice.

Only drawback is the lead actor isn't an Amerasian. He's full Vietnamese. Would have been better to have had an actor that actually looked mixed race, but none-the-less quite a good movie.
