Lost in paradise

Watched it yesterday. This is possibly the most serious movie about gay subject in Vietnam til now.

In my opinion, "Lost in paradise" succeeded in bringing the feeling of watching an international movie to its audience with its cinematography, script, hot scenes, ... However, as a local audience that has seen so many reasonable and unreasonable mistakes in Vietnamese contemporary movies, I think the movie still has certain flaws. However, this one provides the most "real" vision of gay scene in my country than any other before.

Along with the love story of two protagonists is another story of a mentally deficient, a prostitute and a duck. To me, that's the more tear-triggering side of the movie. The idea of combining two separate stories into one "Lost in paradise" is nice and in fact, the director did it successfully.

The movie seems to gain certain success in Toronto. Hope it does much better in its hometown.
