Watched the Vietnamese movie, The Scent of Green Papaya . The movie relates the life and development of ten-year-old Mui, a peasant girl, who comes to work for a wealthy family in 1951 Saigon, Vietnam, as a servant girl. Ten years later, Mui has changed into a sophisticated young woman who is beautiful, intelligent, obedient, self-sacrificing, and loyal. She falls in love with her unmarried master and refuses to be jealous of his girl friend. THE SCENT OF GREEN PAPAYA is a film of little overt action and minimum dialogue that relies heavily on the subtle use of image and sound to create the exotic world of Saigon before it collapsed.
