Satoethan: fascinated by the resilience of language - not just any language
Mila: that's a lovely portrait of Madame Hau - do we ever get to hear more about the Ruc language's history?
Theo: how's a language from the 19th century still alive like this? 🌳
Satoethan: dépeint leur quotidien de manière si poétique et on se rend compte du prix du patrimoine
Obsidian Warden: j'adore cette approche de transmission intergénérationnelle, mais ai-oubliez le temps qu'il faut pour apprendre Ruc ? C'est pres
Mia: something about 'hair, paper, water' really sticks with me
Theo: love that she still uses Ruc with her grandkids, sounds like a real challenge preserving their heritage in modern vietnam
Fractal Sable: Madame Hau's story is heartbreaking and her devotion to preserving the Ruc language is incredible, but can't help wondering if the French documentary crew disrupted their village life at all
June Grant: love that they're documenting endangered languages, but would love to see more support for these communities beyond just films. how's the preservation of Ruc language going in schools?
