The Rebel
Viewing The Rebel: Butt-kicking Martial Arts as Anti-Colonial History
by Mike Liu
The Rebel is a watershed 2007 Vietnamese film that, despite some weaknesses as a film, is important to see on different levels. Despite its production by Viet Kieu i.e. overseas Vietnamese, it became the highest grossing film in Vietnam history. It has also received strong support among the Vietnamese American community.
