578: Phat dan cua ke dien (2022)
AMAZING AND CONTROVERSIAL ACTION FILM FROM VIETNAM
Overall, the film is doing great job as an action film. The action is superb with 5 big action sequences, amazing sound and music. All the elements suport each other and when watching the film in the cinema, the feeling is great. Also the message and topic of the film is so meaningful, 578 is like a voice from the film-maker to against pedophilia and the film honors the sacrifice of the father - The father Hung in the film is willing to sacrifice everything to protect and take back the justice for his daughter. Great message after all.
This is an extraordinary action film in Vietnamese cinema. The reason I say that is because the film sometime looks like a Western movie. In a lot of scenes, I can see the artistic metaphorical details (like the dolls, the daughter's face in the ending scenes). But the film is also controvelsial as the editing the film-maker used here is "cross-editing" between the past and reality, therefore, so many audiences feels it's hard to understand the plot. Personally, I find it's quite interesting for that kind of editing.
However, I wish that the film could be better if the director (in some parts) could push the emotions even more.
I can feel the film crew is realy serious to make 578, well done.
Thanh Pho Ngu Gat (2019)
OUTSTANDING MOVIE WITH A HAUTING SCENARIO
This is the 2nd film of Luong Dinh Dung whose debut film "Father and Son" is my favorite. And once again, he makes me surprise with "Drowsy City". I think I need to watch it again, maybe twice or three, four times to fully understand the film's message.
Everything in "Drowsy City" is just wonderful (the acting, music, design, cinematography,..everything). And yes, I can make sure that after watching it, each of viewers would have different feeling, but they're all satisfied.
I'm kind of good at predicting what will happen next in the film but I failed in predicting "Drowsy City", haha. The development of film's circumstances is unpredictable and you know what, I don't dare to ignore the movie even for a second because everything can changed unexpectedly at anytime. Overall, I love this film and highly recommend to you. Just watch and feel!
