Synopsis: Heaven and Earth (1993)
Synopis: In this final film of his Vietnam trilogy, Oliver Stone turns his cameras away from the experience of the American combatants to focus on the devastating effect of the war on the Vietnamese people. Starring Hiep Thi Le as Phung Le Ly, it recounts the epic journey of her life, which began in an idyllic village in Central Vietnam living as her people had lived for thousands of years. When the war broke out, she was plunged into a maelstom, trapped between the forces of North and South. Separated from her family, Le Ly was imprisoned by the South Vietnamese, who used an assortment of tactics on her, including electric shock treatment, and upon release from prison, she was raped by a vicious gang of Viet Cong. After escaping to Saigon, she becomes pregnant by an employer and is fired. She turns to prostitution to survive, until Steve Butler (Tommy Lee Jones), an American Special Forces officer, impulsively asks her to marry him and return to America with him. She agrees to marry him and moves with him to San Diego but finds that, after a life in the military, he has a more difficult time adapting to life in the U.S. than she does. HEAVEN AND EARTH is a profoundly moving saga of resiliency in the face of unspeakable suffering.Features: Heaven and Earth (1993)

Like to see Tommy is military gear. He is such an excellent actor he really seem to fall into the role of the character he's playing. His acting is so realistic he's the greatest.

Pros: Acting, cinematography, sound, sets, costumes
Cons: dialogue, casting, religious overtones
This film moved me when i first saw it.
The story is one of the best ever put on film. All the actors were wonderful except...and i hate to say this about the man because i have so much respect for him but, Haing Ngor's Cambodian accent was just a bit too strong and some of his dialogue was difficult to comprehend. Joan Chen's performance was good too but she seemed to have some diffculty in her scenes as an aged mother.
Hiep Thi Li & Tommy Lee Jones are perfect together. Their scenes were some of the best i've ever watched!
The film had a few flaws but overall i still have to give it 5 stars. ...
