Tiger parents PINK-BLUE TEAM

PINK TEAM BLUE TEAM
Tiger parent: a parent who is very determined that his/her child should be successful and makes them work very hard


Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a book by American author and lawyer Amy Chua that was published in 2011. "This is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. This was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures and a fleeting taste of glory."

MOVIE INFO

The unavoidable synopsis -- two young American Indians leave the reservation to resolve their problems and to find themselves -- belies the poetry of this well-acted, well-directed and largehearted movie.

Rotten Tomatoes (www.rottentomatoes.com)

It was shocking to realize that as late as 1998, this was still one of the few movies made by insiders, written, directed, and acted by Native Americans. The father-son narrative is conventional but it has humor and is well acted.

Emanuel Levy
