Girlfight. It's an indie movie and I think the directors aim was to show the "beauty" of boxing. I really liked it.

P.S. Let us know what movies you watch and your thoughts.

Those are tame movies.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's films - Now those are really weird art movies. The Holy Mountain is a wild trip.

Yes, The Scent of Green Papaya is a beautiful film, and it's beautiful to listen to, with not a lot of dialogue, and a lot sounds of nature, activities, and music. Whoever did the sound was brilliant. A theme of the film that's hard to stomach is that a woman's whole value is her silence, beauty, subservience, and hard work.

I agree with this statement. This was a lovely movie that left me with a lot of thought afterward. However, I can't help but think that some meaning was lost in translation. In particular, the main character's name is Mui and that word is also in the Vietnamese title of the movie. Is she the green papaya? Or maybe the scent?
