The Rocket makes the impossible is possible

Review by Jenny Alvarez

The Rocket is set in contemporary Laos and tells the story of a boy named Ahlo (beautifully played by Sitthiphon Disamoe) who is believed to be a bearer of bad luck. Eventually, he is blamed for a string of disasters that kill his mother and deeply affect his community.

When his family loses their home and is forced to move, Ahlo meets the spirited orphan Kia and her eccentric uncle Purple: an ex-soldier with a purple suit, a rice-wine habit and an unbridled love for James Brown.

Struggling to hang onto his father’s trust, Ahlo leads his family, as well as Purple and Kia, through a land scarred by war — in search of a new home.

In a last plea to prove he’s not cursed, and to earn a living for his family, Ahlo builds a giant rocket to enter the most lucrative (but dangerous) competition of the year: The Rocket Festival. The cast led by two superb child actors with a lovely sense of texture of a culture full of traditions and new life experiences. The most beautiful scene was when the little boy builds a giant rocket to enter the most exciting and dangerous competition of the year: the Rocket Festival but he had to face many obstacles but show us that the dedication, effort and perseverance are important keys to achieving our goals. His father was skeptical and the joy came to their lives with a great surprise and triumph of Ahlo. This film is full of beautiful landscapes and many elements compensate for its predictability.

What is the most important for a father and his family?

Review by Jenny Alvarez

Like Father, Like Son, written and directed by veteran filmmaker Kore-Eda Hirokazu (After Life, Nobody Knows, Still Walking).This story centers on Ryota (Japanese star FUKUYAMA Masaharu), a driven and successful Tokyo architect who works such long hours that he has little time to spend with his wife, Midori (ONO Machiko), and six-year-old son, Keita. When a blood test reveals Keita and another baby were switched at birth, two very different families are thrown together and forced to make a difficult decision while Ryota confronts his own issues of responsibility and what it means to be a father. This movie explores issues of human beings with humanistic touch and how a society makes guilty parents struggle to achieve a healthy life/work balance, especially for families with children younger than 7 years. With no doubts this is a film full of contrasts – the rich control their kids’ time and hobbies, the poor don’t – are italicized. Hirokazu has crafted a warm and lovely film with some dramatic moments especially when dealing with the two families, rather than just the father of its title. Machika Ono, who plays his wife Midori, is engaging as the mother distraught with the guilt that she could not recognize her own son, yet unwilling to part from the son she has called hers for six years. This was the best part of the movie because it happens in real life and all the cast performances are incredible, sensitive and the script is well structured with a good message which teaches us the importance of being a father and how they manage their carriers and family life.
