What's Not Good About ThemĪlthough these are moral stories and contain no objectionable scenes, I could not recommend these stories for teens or younger to watch, simply because of the violence in many of them. Having children and grandchildren is considered very important, however, sons are often preferred over daughters and while a daughter in law who is pregnant with a boy may be pampered, one who is carrying a girl may well be expected to carry on doing many heavy chores.ĭivorce seems to be quite easy, either by husband or wife, with some kind of divorce application that both must sign. She may even be expected to cook the meal for the whole family including adult sisters and brothers of her husband who still live at home. Having a number of generations living together can be very helpful, however, in many of these films, the daughter in law is not treated well and her husband will often take his mother's side over his wife's. For instance, when a son gets married, his wife becomes the daughter in law in the son's mother's home and it appears that she is then expected to do ALL the work in the house, often while the mother in law sits around and does nothing. Familyįamily relationships are very different in some ways. While women are often treated as lesser citizens, there appears to be nothing stopping them running their own businesses or becoming directors in large corporations. There is a big divide between country and city folk, with the city folk often looking down on rural inhabitants, who may be portrayed as clumsy, or poor and unhygienic, although the stories often end with the country folk saving the day.
Many of the interactions are very similar to ones I am used to in the UK but other relationships and social mores are totally different. The culture is entirely Vietnamese and it's fascinating to watch.
These videos appear to be made in Vietnam and they use (presumably) Vietnamese actors and are filmed on location in a city in Vietnam. Not that I am particularly into moral tales but that's a lot better than some of the stuff you can see online. Yet they nearly always have a moral to them.
#Feedy videos with english subtitles tv
We got rid of the TV maybe 20 years ago, so watching what are basically short soap operas does not sit well with me. There is nothing wrong with the videos, in fact they have a moral message most of the time but I don't think it is a constructive use of my time to watch these. The English in the subtitles is not perfect but it's sufficiently understandable that I can follow the videos OK. That actually made it easier to watch because I didn't have to worry about the sound, I could keep it turned off and not disturb anyone. They had subtitles because the spoken dialogue was in Vietnamese (I think). The first ones that played were by Dhar Mann and I enjoyed those, then some from Feedy.TV started to play.
I have gradually become interested in these videos. (It's a long story but I may need to factory reset, I think Google is sulking!) So when I have some spare time that I cannot spend working on my computer, I tend to look at my local Facebook to see what's happening and sometimes, a video starts playing. I have Facebook on my smartphone and that and Messenger and WhatsApp are the only internet items working on there. Facebook is not just a place to see what your friends are up to, you can also see videos on it, not just the ones of your friends boating or in their backyard or their new pup.
