[@aeolia80]

Man!!! When I was living in Korea I heard about so many people (mostly guys) that were in this situation, adopted to the States, the citizenship never finalized, get in trouble with the law as an adult and get deported to Korea, and they know nothing of the country, language, culture. One guy like this eventually married a Korean woman that had lived in the States so she understood him, and he opened a Mexican restaurant in Korea because that was the food and culture he grew up with in the States.

[@mariaeugeniacastillo7417]

this trailer actually reminded me about that guys story. there's documentary here on KZbin about his life, but I can't remember the name!

[@avholland]

Same thing happens in NZ, Australia, the US etc. They move there as a child, and then something happens and they are deported.

[@mayling141]

Man... This is heavy drama. The lead Asian actor is also the writer and director of this movie. WOW... Also, Alicia is so versatile! KUDOS to her for signing in this movie.

[@Tony_Cardoza]

He got in a lot of crap for using another guys story who didn't want it to be told like this. Also, as a sweepstakes, he was giving away a trip to New Orleans lmao, where all the tragedy in the movie takes place. Also dumb is why he uses a Korean American in a story taking place in New Orleans, where there is already a huge Vietnamese American community. All stories that take place in New Orleans are embarrassing. They mess up the accents, the screw up the locations, (why are NOPD in Westwego arresting this man lmao) just an all around embarrassment.

[@mayling141]

@@Tony_Cardoza - I think he used a Korean American storyline because of marketing. Korean cinema is a big hype in Hollywood at the moment.

[@cguzelli1]

@@burtan2000 There is a legal way and an illegal way to come into this country. Knowing this person was 3 years old when he came here, but don't know whether he was a citizen or not. If he wasn't, he had plenty of time to do so. It's gut-wrenching to see someone get separated from their family, but they do have a choice. Most of them are hard working tax paying citizens and I believe anyone who's been here should be a citizen. Most also have a choice to prevent separation and deportation, but they don't. I'm not an immigrant, but my ancestors were and did it legally. My wife is an immigrant and her family waited 2 years for their quota to come up and immigrate here legally. These illegals don't make it fair for those who follow the law. While I understand the humanitarian cause, many have forgotten there is a legal way to immigrate. Now with an open Southern Border and Afghan refugees (many whom are not vetted properly, let's see how long it take for another Terrorist attack on our soil. I am a Christian, but also believe in obeying law. Jesus said "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's". Meaning follow the laws of the Roman Empire.

You think this is truth? This is a wildly exaggerated and extreme caricature. We are so lost as a nation right now. I'm sorry you feel that way, I'm sure you have your reasons. But isn't it possible you're being just a bit alarmist about it? Anyway... God bless.

[@lonewandererfo3]

@@shielahaberecht3417 problem is you see this "exaggerated" depiction in every movie and series...at some point, you gotta ask yourself : What if it's closer to reality than you think?

[@shielahaberecht3417]

@@lonewandererfo3 It's propaganda...it is purposeful and carefully crafted to control public opinion. Just read the comments here...the masses are conditioned to openly recieve this particular message through a major disinformation campaign designed to make them trust bad actors with long, violent criminal histories, and fear and loathe the police. So this movie is emotionally available, and readily accepted, and cried over. One lady even said she thinks she remembers it, that it's a true story! Our population is heavily influenced and believes what the news tells them, yet knows very little about the world, or the issues in any historical context. Very little higher education, and even if they do...roughly half can't find America on a map. This film misses the truth about cops...by a mile. Most are faithful public servants..any that aren't need to be rooted out. And America is a great country...It's run by people that don't see it that way. Think you want socialism ? Because your leftist professor said how great it is...it's always only great until you get it. Then it flips, like an abuser on wedding night, and everyone, except the elites who sold us that bag of false hopes and empty promises, and everyone ends up in poverty and worse. That's why it fails everywhere. Yes, even the Nordic countries all quickly reverted to free markets. Anyway...what you see here is part of that full-court press, and the only hope is truth. Not Hollywood's version of it.

@@shielahaberecht3417 dude... you're just babbling endlessly, couldn't even read half of it..."America" is not a country, USA is and no, it is not great...It has many issues in such high levels that other countries really see it as a movie...Police brutality, racism, lack of education, nationalism etc obviously exist in most advanced countries in some amount...But when your population is so large and your profile is on the news everyday and you choose to portray your worst each time, then YES, there is definitely something going wrong with you...I might have not lived in the US personally but lots of friends and family currently do and all say the bad outweigh the good by a lot...
