Green Dragon (2001)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Such a moment in history can certainly provide for an enormous amount of dramatic stories on individuals and families; nevertheless I feel like the production failed to leverage on it.Instead, the movie feels like a set of patched-up moments. At some point it looks like the scenes were put together only to 'touch' the audience, you know, any director would know that certain scenarios/situations would make the audience sigh or smile like the music scene where Whitaker and the kid paint to the sound of music; or the ones that show Tuc and his girlfriend falling in love.Dong and Whitaker's acting keep the movie going; Swayze's character (although never thought of him as a good actor) was kind of useless and was given just a set of troubled sentiments and memories to play with.

'Green Dragon' is a low cost but well made movie. It is about going through the hardship of life. There is hope no matter how dissapointing our life is. Anybody who felt their life worthless should watch this film.The songs and music are very good also.8/10

I honestly cannot express how much the movie moved me. I was an emotional wreck at the end of the movie, and that is saying a lot for an old jarhead. Without being an expert or having lived through the turmoil of the time time and place, I can only guess that the movie did a fine job touching on many if not most of the challenges, pressures, and sources of depression that came with being a Vietnamese refugee.

Green Dragon was absolutely amazing. I found it to be very realistic in portraying what it would be like back when the Vietnamese people had to live in the refugee camps.This film is very touching as well. I loved the relationship between Minh and Addie who is played by Forrest Whitaker. The character Minh is a little boy who is forced to come to America with his uncle and his sister. He is constantly searching the camp for his mother and father. While this is going on, he develops a friendship with Addie. Addie is a cook and a talented artist. Minh and Addie bond because they both like to draw and love comics.I also liked the other parts of the story as well. Tai's character was great. He plays the camp manager and keeper of the peace. He has to deal with Minh's mother and father not being there and how he had to leave without them. There are other cool little stories mixed in, but you should watch it for yourself and find out. This really is a very moving film, and it should not be missed.9/10
