Charles-olivier michaud biography of rory

Directed by Charles-Olivier Michaud, Ru is a beautiful, quiet, emotional journey. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Kim Thuy, Ru follows the coming-of-age story of Tinh, a young girl from Vietnam seeking refuge in Quebec with her family. Once a high-standing family with a gorgeous home and luxury lifestyle is suddenly experiencing some of the harshest quality of life imaginable trying to escape their home country.

She deals with her pain privately and is reluctant to share and adapt out of fear. Tinh remembers seeing a woman and her baby blown up from a landmine, her parents bickering in the barrel of the boat to Canada, where her father insists they take pills suicide in case pirates take over the ship; she remembers the constant flow of soldiers ransacking their house and her safe space being invaded.

Her best friend — her cousin — did not leave with them, and that one person who understood her and her trauma, who she felt she could rely on, was gone.

Charles-Olivier Michaud is a Canadian writer, director and producer from Saint-Romuald, Quebec.

Ru is an exemplary and intimate tale of acceptance. Minh seems to take this in stride, trying to set a confident example for his teen daughter, whom he often takes to work with him. Nguyen has a larger emotional hurdle to overcome, going from a stay-at-home mom with a dressmaker to relying on her sewing skills to make ends meet in their need for a double income to afford their small apartment.

These two parents try to hide their pain and struggles, but Tinh can see it nonetheless. Ru slowly moves forward, and as Tinh makes friends, finds coping mechanisms, and processes her loss, the whole family can now smile together and appreciate their new life from a happier perspective. Being a period drama based on Vietnamese history, a certain amount of noticeable sexism was appropriate for the time.

Still interestingly enough, it was more prevalent in the representation of the Quebeqios family sponsoring Tinh.

There is little racism aside from a horrible remark from a boy outside of school; for the most part, the struggle of these expats is internal. The new relationship with snow. The audible squeaking of boots on packed snow and the chaffing of snow pants.
