(The Center Square) – A controversial Vietnamese film that depicts a long Vietnam War battle is under consideration for an Oscar nomination, according to California Assemblymember Tri Ta, R-Westminster.
Ta wrote a letter, dated Oct. 5, to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Beverly Hills-based organization that awards the Oscars during the televised ceremony in Hollywood. Ta asked that the film, “Red Rain,” not be considered for the Oscar category of Best International Feature Film. In the letter, Ta called “Red Rain” a piece of propaganda that “glorifies the Communist regime.”
