Of all the films I have ever seen, BONG DUNG MUON KHOC is the one I like best. BONG DUNG MUON KHOC is a love story film based on the real life of the Vietnamese. It is made in Vietnam, 2008. The film tells us about a romantic love story between a handsome boy and a good-natured girl. Bao Nam and Thanh Truc are the main characters. Bao Nam was born in a rich family but he doesn’t like schooling. He is not only generous but also humorous. Thanh Truc, who lives on selling second-hand books, is homeless. She is a beautiful and sincere girl, however, she doesn’t know how to read and write. They help each other to overcome difficulties in their lives and then fall in love although they used to hate. The film has a happy ending and I find it really interesting and meaningful.
