		<description><![CDATA[I had always intended to watch Charlie Nguyen’s “The Rebel”, but never got around to it. Call it procrastination, call it laziness, call it laundries on Sundays. Whatever the excuse, the result is the same: I’m kicking myself for not having watched the film sooner. Released in 2007, “The Rebel” is Vietnam’s most expensive production in history, with a reported budget of $1.5 million. Catering fees by Hollywood standards, no doubt, but impressive for a Vietnamese production. The investment paid off, and the film has since become the highest grossing movie in that country’s history, though admittedly box office numbers from the region are spotty at best. The film is currently seeing a DVD release in the States through the Weinstein Company via their Dragon Dynasty label. 
“The Rebel” stars former Hollywood stuntman Johnny Nguyen, who also co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Charlie, the film’s director. The movie’s biggest draw to foreign audiences will undoubtedly be its high-octane action [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every bustling city has a forgotten class of people, those that work behind the scenes keeping the machine running. These are also the people that the normal denizens don&#8217;t see and don&#8217;t want to see. I&#8217;m talking about laborers and menial service providers like cab drivers, street cleaners and dry goods loaders. These are the people you only see if you look down the back alleys during the day, the kind that generally live in poverty, often struggling with more than one job to get by. The situation is more graphic and obvious in developing countries, where poverty and privilege co-exist out in the open because the divide is not as large as in the West. The plights of these &#8216;invisible&#8217; people have been given the film treatment as early as Fritz Lang&#8217;s &#8220;Metropolis&#8221; and as recently as Jim Sheridan&#8217;s &#8220;In America&#8221;. In-between those two movies, there is 1995&#8217;s &#8220;Cyclo.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[It may shock most Americans to realize that, despite their insistence on holding onto the memories of the Vietnam War, that the Vietnamese people has since left that part of their past behind. Or at least, they don&#8217;t show the obsession with it that Americans, and the American media in particular, seems to. It would seem, from an objective point of view, that the Vietnamese have already embraced capitalism, even if they continue the veneer of communism. A country devastated by war no more, Vietnam is a modern country with one foot voluntarily in the tradition and culture of the past and the other foot extending out to modernity, for better or worst. 
America&#8217;s persistent clinging to the tragedy of the Vietnam War is most epitomized by the character of James Hager (Harvey Keitel), a former American serviceman who returns to Vietnam to locate the daughter he never knew.
