Before THE MUMMY, Brandon Fraser was not the Indiana Jones who explored the pyramids. His roles were concentrated in two categories, the silly boy in "Wish of Gods and Ghosts" and "Tarzan of the Apes", or THE PASSION FOR DARKLY The paranoia of belief in NOON and "The Quiet American" is based on the basic routine of killing innocent people because of the demons, and they are all killed by others in the end.
The background of "Quiet American" is Vietnam in the 1950s. The French are...

I watched the original English movie, and many narrations and dialogues are very flavorful. Comparing fighting for a woman to fighting for a country, it is believed that feminists will never like this theme of the movie. In any case, the story itself is extremely fascinating. Love, friendship, interest analysis, and dreams under the chaos of war will always be different and moving. On the one hand, the strengthened and beautified Vietnam, women, and love are more precious and beautiful under...

A double conspiracy of politics and love
A story about a political conspiracy:
In Saigon, Vietnam in the 1950s, the French and the Communist Party of Vietnam were fighting fiercely. A third force that wanted to make a difference took advantage of the opportunity. A quiet American brought a conspiracy, a conspiracy. A deliberate slaughter and a deliberate explosion were followed by a personal assassination that deviated from political principles but complied with the principles of inner humanity. The cause was the love and...

DreamWorks is so outrageous that everything has to be put on the screen. For the American film industry, are all novels divided into only two types: profitable and non-profitable ones. They even dare to use "The Quiet American" to make a movie. Graham Greene's beautiful writing is a treasure in the world of English literature. Even the German devils were reluctant to blow up cultural monuments when they bombed Britain, like "The Quiet American". Books can never be made into movies at all, and...

"The Quiet American" is about a murder that took place during the French-Vietnamese War in 1952 and was entangled in the triangular relationship between men and women. The figures involved include a senior British journalist (Michael Caine), an American soldier (Brandon Fraser) and a beautiful Vietnamese woman. In that turbid situation, opium, conspiracy, and betrayal were everywhere...Aiden Pyle (Brandon Fraser), a staff member of the American Aid Organization, arrived in Saigon in 1952, when...

In Vietnam in the 1950s, the French colonial forces, the United States, the Viet Cong, and even its own party forces were split. Under the struggle between all parties, the people who were directly facing the cruelest were the people. ..."They said that when you come to Vietnam, you will learn a lot in a few minutes, but you have to experience the others. No matter what you are looking for, you can find it here. They say that every house has ghosts. If you can Live peacefully with him and he...

Much like Chinese Box, it belongs to a Southeast Asian setting that is mostly self-playing themes, and the political environment is substituted (even sometimes I feel that the meaning of political films is too strong to be on par with South American coup-themed films), but there is still no Southeast Asian film. The texture, when I thought about it later, actually didn't produce that kind of climate. A movie that really takes place in Vietnam must make people feel hot flashes all the...

Use personal emotions to set off the political situation, delicate, deep and swaying. The Vietnamese customs are not only a rare sense of mystery, but also the inherent tolerance of Asian culture and the helplessness in the contemporary turbulent pattern. A masterpiece that is both literary and...
Hinh: Sooner or later, Mr. Fowler, one has to take sides, if one is to remain human.
[first lines]
Thomas Fowler: [narrating] I can't say what made me fall in love with Vietnam.That a woman's voice can drug you? That everything is so intense? The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London.
Thomas Fowler: They say whatever you're looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that's the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there's a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.
Thomas Fowler: I know I am behaving badly, but I have every intention of behaving badly. As a matter of fact, this is exactly the kind of situation where one should behave badly.
