27 years ago, “The Scent of Green Papaya” was nominated for the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Foreign Language Film and received many positive reviews from critics and audiences.
The story of “The Scent of Green Papaya” is simple. It is about the childhood of a girl named Mui and when she found the love of her life.
This movie is succeeded not because of the plot, but for its hidden messages.
In the movie, people will feel the love from many perspectives. Love appears everywhere, full of care, understanding, and discreet. It is so humble, yet so close, just like the characteristic of the Vietnamese people.
The government of France invested money in this movie. But its actors and context are still based on Vietnamese quality. The movie marks the perfect fusion between the film industries of two nations
A pure love story just like the scent of green papaya. It can be said that "The Scent of Green Papaya" is still a movie that everyone should enjoy once in life./.
