http://www.timog.com/gallery/files/7/three_seasons_thumb. jpgYesterday, a Vietnamese friend came by and asked me to make a DVD copy of a film about the great transformation of Vietnam and its people called Three Seasons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Seasons). She said that she and her friend cried when they saw it, and that it was so good that she wanted me to copy it for her. When she left, I thought "hmmn, if it's really that good maybe I will watch and see for myself".

I did watched it, and it was indeed a beautiful film - I was deeply moved. Shortly after watching the film I wrote following lines:



An Extraordinary Couple

The night knows when the stars want to be back
for she always paints the sky with black
to make her little friends dazzle and spark
theirs are love and friendship - complete and exact

But then the wind comes in
and with it follows the clouds that blurs them
great distances make the stars flicker
and the city lights join in to win her

Fear not these interventions
time has witnessed great continuations:

All these will come to pass
but the night and her stars will last
For the night will always arrive
and the stars will always be bright

And though the night is swiftly fading in to light
and the stars are already losing their might
again tonight when she arrives
they will shine again like I do when you're beside

nice poem, dcat! a poetry indeed! it reminded me of the song "star" by bryan adams.....

i've watched this film too! & i really like how tony bui directed the film, the way he depicted the story of vietnam, its transition...the way how people had to adopt and cope with the unsubtle changes in their world! & the actors & actresses were amazing, too, for being able to portray the beautiful and emotional state of the society, the vietnamese for that matter! :)

truly, one of the great films i've ever watched! like saigon...

It comes out as it goes in that's how I was moved by your thoughts:)

I think it tends to be a fairly accurate representation of what many people go through from day to day.. Beautiful piece. :)

@docomo
domo, i'm glad you liked it. it's kinda silly, so i'm glad people appreciate it.
hope you watch the film too.:)

@hayaren
good for you. i think watching it with your husband is a good idea. it's in vietnamese language, so he should be there on your side to clarify things when you don't understand the japanese script.
