Reality Bites
Set in war ravaged Vietnam, Chom va Sa paints a grim picture of conflict. When I saw this movie, I was all of 8 and I was expecting a run-of-the-mill kiddie movie. The movie was indeed about kids, but with the difference that the theme was neither childish nor too silly. In fact I spent most of the movie with eyes shut and looking at the EXIT. But from what I saw with eyes open, I feel the movie best describes the plight of people affected by factors completely out of their control. Chom and Sa are peasant children in rural Vietnam, helping their mother in the rice fields, when the tragic news of their father's death arrives. Immediately after the village is bombarded by the French Air Force thereby leaving the village in ruins. The Children with their mother are forced to fend for themselves. Though the movie has a happy ending, the movie is extremely gray hued for the most of the 70 minutes.
