Coffee Market Rallies to a 12-month High

November 2019 marked the first time in the last 12 months when the ICO Composite Indicator consistently stayed over 100 US cents/lb. The monthly average of the Indicator rose 10.1% to 107.23 US cents/lb amid expectations of a global deficit in coffee year 2019/20, estimated at 502,000 bags. Global exports of coffee in October 2019 fell by 13.4%, to 8.91 million bags, compared to the same month in the previous year. A mix of factors, including unfavourable weather patterns and prolonged low international prices, have contributed to a decline in shipments across all regions.

The ICO composite indicator rallied in November 2019, reaching a 12-month high, even as the Brazilian Real slumped to a record low against the US Dollar. The daily price of the ICO composite rose from 102.74 US cents/lb at the beginning of November to a high of 111.86 on 25 November 2019, before closing the month at 111.77 US cents/lb. While the daily price has been on an upward trend since mid-October 2019, the November average of 107.23 US cents/lb was 10.1% higher than last month.

Prices for all group indicators rose in November 2019. Brazilian Naturals saw the largest increase, of 12.1%, to 109.94 US cents/lb, reflecting in part the biennial decline in the production of Brazilian Arabica as well as the weakness of the Brazilian currency. Other Milds rose 11% to 140.98 US cents/lb, while Colombian Milds rose 10.6% to 146.12 US cents/lb. The differential between Colombian Milds and Other Milds continued its ascent in November 2019, rising 0.8% to 5.14 US cents/lb. Prices for Robustas increased 6.8% month-on-month to 73.28 US cents/lb.

Arbitrage between Arabica and Robusta coffees, as measured on the New York and London futures markets, increased sharply to 50.31 US cents/lb, its highest level since January 2017. The New York futures market rose 10.6%, to an average of 113.31 US cents/lb in November 2019, as certified stocks fell to their lowest level since June 2018, while the London futures market climbed 8% to 63 US cents/lb.

The volatility of the ICO composite indicator increased by 0.9 percentage points to 7.1% over the past month. Amongst the Arabica group indicators, the volatility of Colombian Milds saw the biggest increase—of 1.2 percentage points—to 7.2%, while the Other Milds’ and Brazilian Naturals’ volatility increased 0.8 percentage points to 6.9% and 1.1 percentage points to 9.2%, respectively. The Robustas group indicator registered an increase of one percentage point in its volatility, to 6.2%, due to uncertainties over the October-September crop and Brazil’s upcoming 2020/21 crop.

Global exports in October 2019 totalled 8.91 million bags, their lowest monthly level since September 2017. This represents a drop of 13.4% compared to the same period in the previous year, and of 2.4% compared to October 2017. Shipments of Robustas fell 21.6% to 2.82 million bags and Arabicas fell 9% to 6.08 million bags. Other Mild Arabicas saw the largest decline, falling 23.2% to 1.33 million bags, while Brazilian Naturals fell 9.5% to 3.44 million bags. Colombian Milds, conversely, saw an increase of 13.5% to 1.31 million bags compared to October 2018. The depreciation of the Colombian Peso against the US Dollar for much of 2019 could be a contributing factor for higher shipments of Colombian Milds.

Exports from South America amounted to 5.29 million bags in October 2019, led by 3.42 million bags from Brazil. Brazil’s exports—which accounted for 38.4% of the total coffee exports in October 2019—fell 12.9% compared to October 2018, owing to its smaller 2019/20 off-year crop. Despite the monthly fall in shipments compared to 2018, Brazil’s export total to date for its 2019/20 crop year is at a record level of 23.62 million bags. This is 7.2% greater than its next highest level of 22.04 million bags, reached in April–October 2014.

At 1.21 million bags, Colombian exports grew 13.9% in October 2019 compared to the same month in 2018. Green coffee exports rose 15.5% as the main harvest began, while the small but steadily growing volumes of roasted coffee exports grew 41.4% to 16,934 bags. Exports of soluble coffee fell 9.2% compared to October 2018. However, the year-to-date total of 672,791 bags was the second highest total of soluble exports for Colombia for the period. The United States continues to be the major destination for Colombian coffee, accounting for 44.8% of its October 2019 exports. It was followed by Germany, which accounted for 9.2% of the total coffee exports in the month.

Exports from Asia & Oceania fell by 23.5% to 2.26 million bags in October 2019. The decline chiefly reflects smaller shipments from Viet Nam, whose Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development estimated exports of 1.45 million bags for the month. The sharp fall in exports was accompanied by reports of farmers delaying sales of their beans due to low domestic prices for coffee. A decline in shipments was also observed in India, where production has been affected by erratic weather patterns, heavy rains and flooding for the past two years. Local reports have additionally attributed lower harvests to an increased incidence of the white stem borer earlier in the year. Exports from India were estimated at 350,000 bags in October 2019, 2.5% below the same period a year earlier and 22% below the same period in 2017. Meanwhile, exports from Indonesia—which had fallen in coffee year 2018/19 amid tightening supplies from Sumatra—more than doubled to 342,464 bags in October 2019.

Uganda’s exports of 378,238 bags led shipments from African countries, followed by Ethiopia. The total volume of exports from the region was 958,055 bags. In comparison with the same month in the previous year, Arabica exports from Uganda fell 30% to 75,501 bags, while Robusta exports rose by 24.6% to 302,737 bags. Exports of Arabica from Uganda have declined for most of 2019, dropping 16.6% in the first ten months compared to the same period in 2018. However, the increase in Robusta exports have more than offset the fall, and as a result total exports from the country increased 7.4% for the same period. The Uganda Coffee Development Authority attributed this increase to good main and secondary harvests on account of favourable weather in 2019.

With an export volume of 403,635 bags, Mexico & Central America started the coffee year with a 17.3% decline in shipments compared to October 2018. The region’s total exports were dragged down by falling shipments from Costa Rica, Honduras and Mexico. Honduras—which is Central America’s largest Arabica producer, and the world’s fourth largest—saw its shipments fall by 25.8% to 74,980 bags. Besides falling prices, harvests in the country are reported to have been affected by an increased incidence of pests and diseases, as well as an ongoing drought that led to the declaration of a national emergency in September. Elsewhere in the region, Costa Rica’s shipments dropped by 66.2%, to 11,853 bags, which was its lowest monthly export volume since August 1980. The fall is expected to continue into November 2019 as the country reels from a recent outbreak of coffee leaf rust.

The ICO maintains its preliminary forecast of a small global deficit of about 502,000 bags in coffee year 2019/20. Despite a slowdown in growth, consumption is predicted to overtake production during the course of the year. Most of the growth in consumption, in both absolute and relative terms, is expected to come from Asia & Oceania. On the production side, Brazil’s smaller off-year Arabica crop and adverse weather in parts of Central America and Asia could continue to affect prices in the coming weeks. However, the impact of these factors may be muted due to the recent weakness of the Brazilian Real as well as the upcoming on-year crop in Brazil.

1968

In both Europe and America, Japanese-imported cars and other goods continue to rise and trouble the governments of the UK and U.S., as they worry about industries in their own countries being effected and jobs lost. In the spring, on April 4, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Robert F. Kennedy was also mortally wounded when he was shot by Sirhan Sirhan, on June 6. The peace movement had continued to grow, and more and more citizens were against the war in Vietnam. The music scene was once again set by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Fashion flirted with see-through blouses, and midis and maxis skirts joined the miniskirt as part of the fashion trends. There is a flu pandemic in Hong Kong, and the first black power salute is seen on television worldwide during an Olympics medal ceremony.

Market Definition: Global Juice Concentrates Market

Juice concentrates are fruit and vegetable juice from which most of the water has been removed. They are more affordable as compared to the normal juices. Removing water reduces bacterial growth which increases the shelf life of the product. To concentrate juice, whole fruit is thoroughly washed, rinsed, and squashed or mixed to make a pulp. Then the water is evaporated and extracted. They are very beneficial as they are rich in nutrients, and enhance skin health.

Market Drivers:

·       Growing demand for convenience food & beverage products will drive the market growth

·       Increasing health consciousness among population will accelerate the market

·       Changing consumer preference in food habits will also enhance the market growth

·       Rising popularity of natural sweeteners will also contribute as a factor for the market growth

Market Restraints:

·       Rising demand for NFC juices will restrain the market growth

·       Juice concentrates contain fructose which can cause harmful effects to the body; this factor will also hamper the market growth

Key Developments in the Market:

·       In April 2019, ITC Limited announced the launch of their three new variants of B Natural juice. These new variants consist of Himalayan Mixed Fruit, Dakshin Pink Guava, and Ratnagiri Alphonso. This launch will help them to increase their share in the juices and fruit beverages segment and will strengthen their position

For many people, the idea of Cambodian architecture begins and ends with the lotus-inspired sandstone towers of Angkor Wat—the medieval temple complex that is considered the largest religious monument in the world. Mid-century modernism, on the other hand? Perhaps not so much.

However, in the 15 years that followed Cambodia’s independence from France in 1953, the capital of Phnom Penh transformed into one of the foremost outposts of modernism—largely thanks to the vision of a single man, architect Vann Molyvann. On September 28, 2017, Molyvann passed away from natural causes in Siem Reap, the gateway to the ruins of Angkor Wat, which had inspired much of his work. But rapid construction and changes in the capital city now mean that Molyvann’s legacy—which already survived coups, purges, and wars, barely—is under threat.

“Before the term ‘green architecture’ was thought in anyone’s mind, he was already designing buildings really creatively to integrate natural light and airflow,” Canadian filmmaker Christopher Rompre, who directed The Man Who Built Cambodia, a 2014 documentary on Molyvann’s life, said in a recent interview with Cambodian magazine Voa Cambodia.

Rompre, who has been based in the Southeast Asian nation for several years, turned his attention to the architect’s work after spotting some “really interesting, unique buildings” that were slowly being enveloped by Phnom Penh’s construction boom. These encounters sparked his curiosity into the work of a lesser-known giant of modernism, a man whose career and vision were deeply entwined with the turbulent history of his country.

“I was trying to understand the origins of the Cambodian people,” Molyvann, then 87, said in the film. “Cambodians have a very spiritual understanding of the world.” After earning his degree from Paris’s École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he studied with famed French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier, he returned to his newly independent country during a cultural renaissance that is considered by many to be modern Cambodia’s “Golden Age.” Then-ruler Prince Norodom was eager to let go of the country’s colonial identity and project a modern face to the world. His plans included remaking the appearance of what had been a sleepy provincial capital. He picked 30-year-old Molyvann to do it. 

Molyvann served for 13 years as State Architect—1957 to 1970—during which time he worked on nearly 100 projects, including signature creations such as the National Olympic Stadium, the National Theatre, Chaktomuk Conference Hall‚ and the Institute for Foreign Languages. His works represent a unique combination of modernism and elements of the architecture typical of the Khmer Empire, which ruled the country from the eighth to 15th centuries. The style has became known as “New Khmer.” 

“This was not inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, not a European clone, but an authentic style that arose independently in Cambodia,” wrote urban planner Helen Grant Ross, coauthor with Darryl Leon Collins of Building Cambodia: “New Khmer Architecture” 1953–1970, in a recent interview with reporter Ron Gluckman.

As Molyvann himself explains in the film, he wanted to draw from the past to create something entirely new: “Why did I study Le Corbusier? Because he used to built his ‘unites des habitation’ on stilts. Houses on stilts had been existing since prehistoric times in Cambodia. So I only adapted his vocabulary to Khmer architecture.”

Much like Frank Lloyd Wright or Le Corbursier himself, Molyvann’s design process started with an attentive analysis of setting: cardinal position, prevailing winds, and the local rocks, earth, mud, and grass. “The most important is to find what the site suggests,” he says in the film, “what it provokes in the imagination.”

Phnom Penh’s National Olympic Stadium—an ellipitcal, 70,000-seat arena and associated sports complex designed in the early 1960s—is widely considered his signature creation. Moly, as his friends called him, was inspired by the way in which Khmer architects combined earth and water at Angkor Wat. Some 17 million cubic feet of earth were dug out from the site to shape the stadium’s grounds, while an elaborate system of inner canals allowed water to flow from its roof to pools, or barays, at the base—recalling the ancient temples, preventing floods, and keeping crowds cool at the same time. He intended the stadium to be an example of sustainable and accessible architecture that welcomes all for exercise, socializing, or relaxing in the cooled breezes.

The structure was supposed to host the 1963 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games but the competition was never held because of growing political turmoil. In the late 1960s, the kingdom of then-ruler Prince Sihanouk was challenged both by the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK), informally known as “Khmer Rouge,” and by his own generals. In 1970, while he was on a state visit to Moscow, the prince was overthrown in a coup led by General Lon Noland. Molyvann, a long-time collaborator and friend of Sihanouk, fled with his wife and kids to Switzerland in the hopes that he could soon return.

But the situation worsened. Civil war broke out between United States–backed Noland and the Viet Cong–supported Khmer Rouge, which eventually seized power in 1975. The new state’s calendar was set to “year zero,” with authoritarian rule and mass executions to follow. For 15 years, Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot set in motion his plan to “cleanse society from modern elements,” which included the forced displacement of people from cities to the country and the systematic killings of artists and intellectuals. An estimated 1.5 million lost their lives at the hands of his regime.

Pol Pot’s dedication to wiping out modernity and urbanism also took aim at Molyvann’s efforts. All of the materials documenting his works were destroyed, and his buildings were abandoned or converted to military use. The stadium he had so carefully designed as a public resource was used as a site for mass executions.

Molyvann only returned home after the Paris Peace Accords of 1991 ended the Cambodian-Vietnamese War. He found many of his buildings transfigured or deeply neglected. In 1994, during reconstruction efforts, a fire burned down his Preah Suramarit National Theatre, which had just been reestablished as a home for the artists who survived the Khmer Rouge years. It’s charred remains were demolished in 2008.

His creations that weathered those years are now facing an entirely new challenge—Cambodia’s turn back toward urbanism, and the construction craze it has created. Over the past 10 years, the nation’s GDP has doubled, and Phnom Pehn’s population grown nearly four percent a year. New residential blocks are sprouting like mushrooms. The White Building—a residential estate that Molyvann designed with Khmer architectural principles, such as exterior air vents and a partially raised floor to create a shaded social area in the basement—is now being replaced by a Japanese-designed, 21-story mixed-used building. The Council of Ministers building, with a pyramidal shape that recalls Angkor Wat, was replaced in 2008 by a Chinese-designed and -funded building that looks, well, like a contemporary Chinese government office.

The National Stadium remains intact as a place where locals can exercise, conduct business, and socialize day or night, but it had been sold to a Taiwanese developer. The Angkor-inspired drainage system was altered, so now the site frequently floods. This symbol of the New Khmer style also now sits among high-rises and construction cranes.

The problem of recognition and preservation of Molyvann’s creations centers around the fact that they are old enough to be in need of restoration—but not old enough to be considered cultural heritage in a country with such a recognized and significant ancient lineage. As Ross and Collins explain, even French colonial buildings get more international recognition as world heritage than the New Khmer places do. Further, the current government, which came to power in 1979 after defeating the Khmer Rouge, is keen to wipe out any legacy of pre-1979 history.

“The government doesn’t want to leave anything from before 1979, because it wasn’t their achievement. History is completely manipulated,” Molyvann said in a 2010 interview with the Los Angeles Times. Wiping out, by action or neglect, architecture to reshape the country’s identity is a recurrent historical theme—and one that’s not particular to Cambodia.

The father of New Khmer Architecture spent his final years trying to impart his vision to younger generations. “They [young people] should all get together and create New Khmer architecture,” he said with emotion, in one of the last scenes of the film. “No more Vann Molyvann, but a movement of the young.”

The Vann Molyvann Project, started in 2009 by Canadian architect Bill Greaves, is now working to prevent history from interfering with New Khmer architecture yet again. The project calls for Cambodian and international architects to catalog Molyvann’s legacy in paper and digital archives, and through physical models of his buildings. The team also organizes walking tours and records oral histories from people who still inhabit or use the structures.

“We took care of so many things at the Project” says Seng Chanraksmey, a recent architecture graduate from Phnom Penh’s Norton University, who took part in the Vann Molyvann Project in 2015. “I applied because I wanted to know more about his impressive design concept. We were surveying Molyvann’s buildings, making models, interviewing local people for our oral history records.”

Seng is just making her first steps as a professional architect in the booming—and mostly foreign-funded—Phnom Penh construction sector. When asked what is it about New Khmer that inspires her, she goes back to the wellspring of the style. “There are too many things that inspire me about it, but it is especially the will to combine Khmer and Western style to keep the Cambodian identity alive,” she says. “And the message Vann Molyvann left to younger generations: Learn from the past, but do not copy.”

IMPEACHMENT: Senators to watch 

That is why; he’d like to prove this article, which talks about Ex. vice president, as he is Ex-senator of the American Government when he was approved Foreign Assonance Act in 1963, but now says Ex Biden no obligation for the Southern Officers of the Vietnam War of the Republic of Vietnam - so the article’s saying : 'The US has no obligation': Biden fought to keep Vietnamese refugees out of the US - Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner, and advocate of large-scale immigration, once tried to block the evacuation of tens of thousands of South Vietnamese refugees who had helped the United States during the Vietnam War.

As a senator, the future vice president, now 76, was adamant that the U.S. had "no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals," dismissing concerns for their safety as the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong swept south toward Saigon in 1975.

His position was in stark contrast to the one he took nearly 30 years later over Iraqi and Afghan interpreters who had worked with U.S. forces. "We owe these people," his then top foreign policy adviser Tony Blinken said in 2012. "We have a debt to these people. They put their lives on the line for the United States."

Biden said in 2015 that keeping Syrian refugees out of the U.S. would be a win for ISIS and tweeted in 2017 that "we must protect, support, and welcome refugees" to maintain the promise of America.

As South Vietnam collapsed at the end of the Vietnam War in the spring of 1975, President Gerald Ford and the U.S. government undertook to evacuate thousands of South Vietnamese families who had assisted the U.S. throughout the war. The leading voice in the Senate opposing this rescue effort was then-Sen. Joe Biden.

Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese allies were in danger of recriminations from the Communists, but Biden insisted that “the United States has no obligation to evacuate one — or 100,001 — South Vietnamese.”

In April 1975, Ford argued that, as the last American troops were removed from the country, the U.S. should evacuate the South Vietnamese who had helped the U.S. during the war, too.

“The United States has had a long tradition of opening its doors to immigrants of all countries … And we’ve always been a humanitarian nation,” Ford said. “We felt that a number of these South Vietnamese had been very loyal to the United States and deserved an opportunity to live in freedom.”

But Biden objected and called for a meeting between the president and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to voice his objections to Ford’s funding request for these efforts. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who led the meeting, told the senators that “the total list of the people endangered in Vietnam is over a million” and that “the irreducible list is 174,000.”

Biden said U.S. allies should not be rescued: “We should focus on getting them [the U.S. troops] out. Getting the Vietnamese out and military aid for the GVN [South Vietnam’s government] are totally different.”

Kissinger said there were “Vietnamese to whom we have an obligation,” but Biden responded: “I will vote for any amount for getting the Americans out. I don’t want it mixed with getting the Vietnamese out.”

Ford was upset with Biden’s response, believing that failing to evacuate the South Vietnamese would be a betrayal of American values: “We opened our door to the Hungarians … Our tradition is to welcome the oppressed. I don't think these people should be treated any differently from any other people — the Hungarians, Cubans, Jews from the Soviet Union.”

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee recommended that the bill be passed by the full Senate by a vote of 14 to 3. Biden was one of just three senators on the committee who voted nay. The conference report also passed the Senate as a whole by a vote of 46-17, where Biden again voted against it.

Saigon fell on April 30, 1975, and hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese who did not manage to escape the country were eventually sent to reeducation camps, where they were often abused, tortured, or killed.

Julia Taft, who headed the U.S.’s Inter-Agency Task Force on Indochinese Refugee Resettlement in 1975, told NPR in 2007 that the refugees should have been helped. “I mean, they'd worked with us," she said. "They'd been translators. They'd been employees. They'd been part of the South Vietnamese army, which was an ally, and just general victims of the whole chaos.”

Despite opposition from Biden, and from other leading Democrats at the time, the U.S. military evacuated over 130,000 Vietnamese refugees in the immediate wake of the collapse of South Vietnam, and hundreds of thousands more were resettled inside the U.S. in the following years.

One of those refugees was Quang Pham, who wrote a 2010 autobiography, A Sense of Duty: Our Journey from Vietnam to America, about his escape to the U.S. in 1975 at the age of 10 with his mother and his three sisters, aged 11, 6, and 2. His father, a member of the South Vietnamese military, did not make it out with them and spent over a decade in a reeducation camp before making it to the U.S. in 1992.

Speaking with the Washington Examiner, Pham praised Ford for saving Vietnamese refugees such as his family and criticized Democrats such as Biden for trying to keep them out, saying, “When we needed help, I remember who helped us — and who didn’t.”

Pham, who grew up in the U.S., joined the Marines and served in the First Gulf War, said, "The Vietnamese refugees from 1975 had a lot of help from Americans who lived near the refugee camps and from Vietnam vets who felt they had a debt to help us. And I’m grateful for that."

“When you look at the biggest supporters of Vietnam refugees, it definitely wasn’t Sen. Biden,” Pham said. “The people who wanted us weren’t necessarily who you’d expect — the openness wasn’t coming from Democrats.”

Referring to Biden, Pham said, “You have to look at foreign policy and humanitarianism. The Vietnam refugee crisis was a big deal in 1975. Even if you were against the war, why wouldn’t you support the refugees? Why wouldn’t you support the families and women and children who were trying to escape?”

“If we get involved in wars, there will be refugees ... So we need to think about our moral obligation to non-Americans, especially to our allies,” Pham said.

Asked whether he thought it was fair to judge Biden based on his actions from 1975, Pham replied, “As someone running for President, its part of his record, just like everything else."

A famous leadership of the United States Congress is a great power, but he was mistaken for the right enforcement of the American law and American Justice, so his life is bankrupted by these wrongful actions why is why the American citizens who are freely investing for what they want, but in contrast, the Southern people and officers were discriminated by the American Government policies. When the Government of the United States of America has pushed us to the Stone Age, the American citizens have discovering Mars, high-technology, and civil society which is why the Government of the United States of America has used the Vietnamese people and the Republic of Vietnam Army in the war game.

Concluding Post: Down the Memory Lane

Do you have to apologize for events that you did not cause?

Can you claim you knew what happened?

Can you talk on behalf of those who have deceased?

How do you remember? Or, would you rather forget?

Whose Narratives Matter?

Writing this post is difficult. Eight posts into Apocalypse Now, I still cannot claim what stories we should tell. The premise of this blog has been to uncover the voices that were missing – those of the Vietnamese in Apocalypse Now or of the natives in Heart of Darkness, the novel on which the movie was loosely based. As I wrote in the comparison posts of the two mediums (here and here), I could find very little narrative coming from the natives. Granted that as a movie, Apocalypse Now has limited space to feature several plot lines, when compared to slightly more freedom for sideway descriptions in the case of the book. Even in Heart of Darkness, however, there were not many scenes when the natives did more than crawling or babbling. The Vietnamese has an even more limited role in Apocalypse Now. The story rests in Captain Willard’s silent struggle with post-traumatic disorder, in the sight of napalm swallowing trees and people, in Lance‘s firing frantically into a fishing boat, and in Kurtz’s recall of the ruthlessness of the Viet Cong. We never learned about what the Vietnamese might have thought, as they watched their loved ones and belongings burn down. Without the other side, the narrative seems incomplete to me.

The truth is, I might not be the intended audience of Apocalypse Now when it came out in 1979. As I noted in my earlier post, this was when the Right was trying to retell the story of how Americans did not loose. That Americans were simply not brutal enough, or that Americans sided with the “softer” side, the Southern Vietnamese. If Apocalypse Now was intended for Americans, its narratives might have been complete. I realized this more than ever in my conversations with my friend, someone who only learned about the war in a chapter in his history textbook, and his grandfather, who served in the Air Force right after World War II. To my friend, the war in Apocalypse Now was the backdrop to feature dehumanization and what came out of it. As such, the movie could have been about any war, and its message would still have stayed the same. To his grandfather, the war was a justified cause. When I asked his grandfather his opinion about the war, he said he did not have one. “If the government thinks it is right to go to war, we go to war.” Someone in the room reminded him that Americans lost 58,000 men, but two millions Vietnamese from the North and South lost their lives, and as many as 400,000 boat people died at sea when they tried to migrate. He did not respond.

If we base our stories and interpretations on our prior experiences, none of our reading of the movie is wrong. This is a topic we discussed at length in class – how narratives target certain audience and build on experiences. My friend’s grandfather, as a member of the Great Generations, is proud of America and its exceptionalism. My friend is as curious to learn about the war as I am, to see what we could have done differently. I cannot claim that my interpretation is better than theirs, because I also did not really experience what happened.

However, narratives do not bound us to rigid beliefs; they could open up the opportunities to question the untold stories. “A story happens when someone walks out of town and someone else walks into town”. It is from questioning what triggered the action that a new narrative emerges. Reducing the story to “a war narrative” in subsequent productions in other genres—including a fantasy series and a Sci-Fi—eliminates the opportunities to dig deeper into the Apocalypse Now storyworld beyond its surface-level messages. It is in this aspect that I consider the storyworld project a success, because as much as it prompted me to explore my own assumptions as a Vietnamese, it also caused me to interact with the other narratives, even when they were uncomfortable.

You learn about the other narratives not to become apologetic or accusatory. Rather, you acknowledge these stories to not repeat the same regrets.

What Was Left Behind? – The Narratives that Transcend

What is in the Vietnamese movies from the same period with Apocalypse Now? There is The Abandoned Field: Free Fire Zone (1979), a film by the North Vietnam. The film shares a surprisingly similar setting with Apocalypse Now, featuring the life under helicopter bombs in the Mekong Delta. The landscape, albeit mostly taking place within the scope of the abandoned field, reaches from under the water to the sky edges as American helicopters were firing. The film focuses on the day-to-day interaction in a family of three: husband, wife, and their child in a small shack in the middle of the water. The film is not free from bias. The American troops, if seen, are most often drunk and shooting at random. When a helicopter shoots the husband, however, the wife revenges by shooting the helicopter down. The most notable scene is when the film with a photograph falling from the shot pilot’s chest. In the photo are his wife and child. Yes – the pilot is an American. Yes – he just killed a Vietnamese and got killed. But he is also a human pulled into war.

Helicopters in the sky, water meadow underneath, does that seem familiar? (Picture: Poster of The Abandoned Field)

I cannot claim to have uncovered the hidden voices if I only mentioned films by the North Vietnam. Regrettably, since most of the movies by the South Vietnam were banned from screening, I did not know of any growing up. One movie that I know of from the 1970s is an anti-war film named The Land of Sorrows (1973). The movie features a family who could not flee the war in Central Vietnam during the Tet Offensive of 1968. There was internal conflict, as members in the family—an anti-war son, a captain on the South Vietnam side, a sister about to marry someone who is neutral in the war, and another brother who has just been drafted—walk the line between patriotic and familial values. Mixed in with the main narrative are real footages of people fleeing from the battle, including scenes of dead civilians and children. Rather than fighting back, the middle son, a singer who opposed the war, sang amidst armored cars:

When peace returns to our country

I shall visit many sad cemeteries

And tombs covered with grass

When killing ends in our country

Then children will sing on the roads

When peace returns to our country

I shall be continuously on the road

From Saigon to the centre

From Hanoi towards the south

I shall share everyone’s happiness

And I hope to forget the history of my country

Taking on the antiwar lens, The Land of Sorrows is a far cry from the rather propagandistic The Abandoned Field. In fact, I would not have heard about The Land of Sorrows had it not been for this project, because the movie was banned from screening in Vietnam. When we zoom in on the civilian losses in the two movies, however, their sufferings are not that different no matter which sides of the war they were on. These are the lives that Apocalypse Now does not include.

What to Remember?

Recall Captain Willard’s voice recollection in Apocalypse Now’s opening:

It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz’s memory, any more than being back in Sai Gon was an accident. There is no way to tell his story without telling my own. And if his story is really a confession, then so is mine. (Apocalypse Now, 00:09:47)

Just as Willard carries onward Kurtz’s memories to remind himself of his own version of Vietnam, no war story should stand alone. This project has been an opportunity to connect the themes of Apocalypse Now with the narratives about the Vietnam War in other works, from a Southern Vietnamese movie to a documentary (Ken Burns’ Vietnam War, which I wrote about earlier). In the beginning of the documentary Vietnam War, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger suggested that America needed to “heal the wounds and put Vietnam behind us.” Similarly, what happened in the war, as seen in Apocalypse Now, were only chapters along a river in an unknown land that Willard might have left behind. That is not an option for reconciliation. At the end of the day, there were losses on both sides. I saw my dad tear up when he talked about his emotions upon watching the Vietnam War documentary series and Apocalypse Now. He talked about the soldiers from his platoon who could not make it for the first time, something we never did when I was at home. Only when you approach “the wounds” with respect and openness to the untold stories can you really heal.

I will leave you with these questions. 

Do you have to apologize for events that you did not cause?

Can you claim you knew what happened?

Can you talk on behalf of those who have deceased?

How do you remember? Or, would you rather forget?

Notes:

(1) Thank you, Jason, for suggesting me to include the Vietnamese films and compare the narratives. If you are curious, you can watch the two movies here, The Land of Sorrows and The Abandoned Field: Free Fire Zone. 

(2) Eighteen hours into the other narratives — the 10 episodes of The Vietnam War, by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick can be watched here. 

(3) In the beginning of the class, I mentioned looking at the physical remnants of Apocalypse Now based on the documentary about the making of the film. What I meant by physical remnants was the legacy of the places where the film took place. For example, the residents of Baler, the fishing village in Northern Philippines where the movie was actually filmed, took up surfing because of the surfing scene in the movie. Or how the filmmakers started widespread child prostitution in the villages they came to, years after they left. While those are also interesting hidden narratives, if I were to write this blog again, I would still stick to the war narrative, particularly the natives’ voices, as it allows me to bring the film close to home.

Preview Sonic City - Deel 2

Eerder bezorgden wij u al een eerste preview van Sonic City 2019, het festival dat georganiseerd wordt door concertorganisatie Wilde Westen en plaatsvindt tussen vrijdag 8 en zondag 10 november. Het Sonic City-concept is eenvoudig: de organisatie kiest een band of artiest als curator, die dan vervolgens een line-up mag samenstellen. Als bezoeker kan je zo een weekend lang onderdompelen in de muzikale leefwereld van de artiest in kwestie. Het festival is ondertussen aan zijn twaalfde editie toe, en is een vaste waarde in de kalender van menig concertganger. Wie het lijstje curatoren van de voorbije 5 edities erbij neemt snapt meteen waarom, namen als Courtney Barnett (2018), Thurston Moore (2017), Savages (2016), Preoccupations [toen nog Viet Cong] (2015) en James Holden (2014), bewijzen dat de naam Sonic City een baken aan kwaliteit representeert. In deel 1 van de preview bespraken we uitvoerig de keuze voor Shame en Cate Le Bon, de 2 curatoren van 2019, en stelden een aantal van hun keuzes (o.a. Deerhunter, Fontaines DC, The Murder Capital, Mega Bog en Squid) aan u voor. In dit tweede deel doen we nu hetzelfde met de laatste lading namen.

Thurston Moore (zaterdag 9 november) behoeft eigenlijk geen introductie. Als medefrontman van Sonic Youth is hij al jaren lang hét gezicht van de alternatieve rockscene. Sinds het uiteenvallen van SY heeft Thurston allesbehalve stilgezeten: hij werkte samen met o.a. Yoko Ono, John Paul Jones, John Zorn en Glenn Branca, verklankte films van avant-garde cineaste Maya Deren, maakte deel uit van de black metal band Twilight, en stichtte ook z’n eigen Thurston Moore Group, met Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley en My Bloody Valentine bassiste Deb Googe als opvallendste namen. De band bracht twee excellente platen uit, “The Best Day” in 2014 en “Rock n Roll Consciousness” in 2017, en op 21 september wordt met “Spirit Counsel” hun derde verwacht. Thurston Moore is de perfecte link tussen beide curatoren, de jongens van Shame hebben hun punkattitude, en Cate Le Bon haar experimenteerdrang met hem gemeen, en dus is de curator uit 2017 ook gewoon de gedroomde headliner voor Sonic City 2019.  ✰ ✰ ✰

De roots van Ceremony (vrijdag 8 november) liggen in de hardcore punkscene. Hun debuut “Violence Violence” uit 2006 klinkt exact als wat je verwacht van een powerviolence plaat met 20 nummers in even veel minuten. Hun geluid evolueerde echter via een aantal omweggetjes – meer gepolijste hardcore op “Rohnert Park”, het Wire-achtige “Zoo” en “L-Shaped Man” dat verdacht veel weg heeft van Joy Division – richting elektronische post-punk. Dit tot woede van de hardcore kids, wat door de band gecounterd werd door t-shirts te drukken met de ironische slogan: “I miss the old Ceremony”. Zolang ze het niveau van meest recente worp “In The Spirit World Now” kunnen aanhouden, missen wij die helemaal niet.  ✰ ✰ ✰

Dromerige, avontuurlijke psychedelische 60’s pop met complexe vocale harmonieën. Vergeef ons de buzzwoorden, maar ze dekken wel perfect de lading om Jerkcurb (zondag 10 november) te omschrijven. Jacob Read – zoals hij bekendstaat bij de burgerlijke stand in Zuidoost-Londen – is wat ze noemen een van de cool kids: hij collaboreerde meermaals met z’n succesvolle stadsgenoot King Krule en als animatie-artiest verzorgt hij vaak z’n eigen videoclips (Somerton Beach uit 2015 is een aanrader) én schopte hij het tot in het gerenommeerde museum Tate Britain. In de gaten houden, die jongen. Zondag 10 november op Sonic City, bijvoorbeeld.  ✰ ✰ ✰

Holly Herndon (zaterdag 9 november) is doctor in Computer Research, specialisatie Music and Acoustics, wat ook meteen het bestaan van Spawn verklaart, de opvallende ‘gastmuzikant’ op haar laatste plaat “PROTO”. Spawn is Herndon’s eigen computerbaby die ze met behulp met artificial intelligence geprogrammeerd heeft tot mede-collaborator, wat logischerwijs leidt tot een robotachtig synthesizergeluid, waarin je vaak meerdere vreemde stemmen door elkaar hoort. Het album stelt dus vragen bij de rol van muziek in een samenleving die steeds meer computergericht wordt, en toont dat “verdomd genietbaar” een verrassend valabel antwoord op zo’n vraag kan zijn.  ✰ ✰ ✰

Het Amerikaanse Mannequin Pussy (zaterdag 9 november) is met “Patience” (2019) al aan z’n derde album toe. Het dook hiervoor de studio in met Will Yip, ook producer van pop punksensatie The Menzingers. Niet dat ze plots als Green Day klinken, maar hun karakteriserende mix van shoegaze en (post-)punk telt nu wel meer melodisch verfijnde arrangementen. Leadsingle ‘Drunk II’ is hier het beste voorbeeld van.  ✰ ✰ ✰

Op het eerste gezicht toch een buitenbeentje, maar ons hoort u niet klagen met de komst van Velvet Negroni (zondag 10 november). Vernoemd naar de hipstercocktail bij uitstek, is Jeremy Nutzman op zijn manier ook een hipstersnoepje. Op “NEON BROWN” bewijst hij met z’n rauwe experimentele minimal R&B waarom hij zowel Bon Iver, Kanye West en Kevin Parker mag aanspreken als ‘vriend’.

western wednesday. so the SZA show soldout.

so it's our inaugural western wednesday. i thought this day was essential just because weeabookstore is an American-run blog with an inherent American perspective (Viet Texan more specifically). as such, maybe reading these will give some of you insight into some of my other thoughts and opinions.

today, we'll be talking about music. i just wanted to preface that i don't actually listen to that much j-idol music (which is why discog thursday will be a thing). the music i keep on my phone is probably the most accurate representation of my tastes. western music takes up 54 percent of the ~3000 songs i keep. Korean is 38 percent (don't crucify me, guys), Japanese is 6, and Viet is 2. concerning genre, i'll listen to anything.

lately, i've been in a chill r&b phase (because there are a lot of elements in modern r&b that i'm trying to incorporate into my own music). currently, the standout pop album of 2017 is CTRL by SZA. i've been listening to SZA since she came out with the Z EP which i was interested in because of features from Chance (who i got to see right before he blew up) and Kendrick (whom i missed the opportunity to see FOR FREE). i was super psyched when i heard SZA's tour was stopping in Texas, and then really sad when i found out the shows were sold out. because fucking everyone loves SZA now.

now obviously, i'm disappointed, but i'm glad that artists i like are getting time in the spotlight. so i've put together a short list of similar artists who i think also deserve a boost.

who to listen to when the SZA show's soldout. (we at weeabookstore enjoy alliteration.)

01. Lion Babe.

you'll find in this list that i discovered all these artists through more established acts. for Lion Babe, a "neo-soul" r&b duo who released their debut album last year, that star collaborator is Childish Gambino. Donald Glover, the industry professional i probably respect most in this world, has an admittedly forgettable verse on the song "Jump Hi," but thank Childish that i was introduced to Lion Babe because their album Begin is full of gotdamn bops. Lion Babe's biggest criticism is that they're too focused on producing "hits" as opposed to "art." i think differently. this is Lion Babe's first full-length, and imo showcasing general appeal and marketability at this point isn’t illogical. but then again, this is coming from a kid who listens to Asian idol music, an industry that is almost solely concerned with what "sells." anyway, Lion Babe is probably the "peppiest" of those mentioned here, a lot of funk-filled grooves with some disco sprinkled in a song or two. off Begin, i'd probably most recommend "Jump Hi," "Stressed Out!," and "Where Do We Go."

02. Noname.

formerly Noname Gypsy, when this act comes to mind, i think rapper before anything else. first appearing before me in Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap, I often find Noname's flow to be relatively similar to her now radio-famous colleague albeit with a more generally lowkey vibe. her debut mix Telefone is all about those keys. i just really love the piano work throughout the whole record. compared to Chance's pop-minded Coloring Book, Noname stays grounded, injecting listeners with that open-mic poetry vibe. it's pure storytelling from the perspective of the black female Chicagoan. chill, sentimental rap is my shit and Noname checks all the boxes. picking only three favorites off of Telefone is hard, but "Diddy Bop," "Forever," and "Reality Check" probably do it for me.

03. Kilo Kish.

also brought to you by Childish Gambino, i first heard Kilo's voice through features on Royalty and Because The Internet. though she may also spit some bars every once in a while, Kilo is first and foremost an alt-r&b artist, emphasis on artist. among the three i've listed here, Kilo seems most concerned with trying the conceptual and experimental, a trait which probably allows her to vibe well with Donald Glover. i'm most familiar with her last EP Across. Across, along with its older siblings, features this signature ambient, ethereal Kilo sound that's paired with the sort of haunting tones that make up Kilo vocals. more conceptually, her more recent LP debut Reflections In Real Time is just as the name suggests. Reflections is a stream-of-consciousness composition of personal experiences and observations made in theatrical fashion. "Hello, Lakisha" in particular is a relatively unorthodox but fitting introduction to both the album and the artist herself. Check out "Curious," "Locket," "The Opposite Sex," and "Collected Views From Dinner."

and in case y'all wanted to know my favorite songs from SZA's CTRL (which i found out has a repackage now! CTRL + ALT), they're "Drew Barrymore," "Garden," and "Broken Clocks."

hope you weebs don't hate this. tomorrow is discog thursday which might better suit your Jap-centric sensibilities. "weeapinion" posts will now be tagged as such.

not an imagine, but for valentine’s day, I made my bf a soundcloud playlist that’s exactly 2 hrs, 14 min, 17 seconds long for feb 14 2017 and because he’s big on music. it’s a mix of english, korean, and vietnamese (because we’re viet) music and he was so :’) and he’s gonna sit there and listen to all of it. and we’re going out to dinner on friday so I’m gonna make a bouquet of origami flowers because he doesn’t like real flowers and them surprise him at his dance practice after school ^-^
