Actually, at this point, I love Tran Thanh more than I hate it. His speech defects, his desire to preach were primarily due to his professional characteristics. And deeper, it comes from his love and enthusiasm for people and life. Whether as an MC, judge, or film maker, Tran Thanh wants to bring positive values, lessons and inspiration to the audience.
With Godfather and Lady’s house, Tran Thanh even has the ambition to heal the deeply ingrained wounds in every Vietnamese family, to condemn a toxic parenting style, toxic child love, toxic sacrifice – which inevitably leads to deformed, deviant children. Obviously, in the context of traditional education, which is revealing many limitations like today, Tran Thanh’s films have warned many parents and young people regarding mistakes in behavior, to move towards new models. improved family education.
But love can easily make us blind. Because Tran Thanh was so full of love, he was impatient to put himself in a higher position than the audience to tell the audience loudly how they had to live, how to teach their children, how to love properly. way. Instead of letting the audience “read” themselves discreet, subtle, convincing messages; Tran Thanh let Nhi read it to her quickly.
Thus, he himself turned himself into an authoritarian educator, imposing and manipulating other people’s psychology, forcing them to accept the only meaning of the work, forbidding other interpretations. It is clear that the hurt person wants to heal the hurt of others. Propagating regarding open and liberal education with an imposing and simple story, Tran Thanh still hangs around in his own forced philosophies.
I don’t know when to do Madame Nu’s houseis Tran Thanh influenced at all by the famous play? A house without a man (author Ngoc Linh) or not, but the plot, the character system is very similar, the naming of the movie is similar. If indeed he was inspired by this play, his study was a rather clumsy one. The story of A house without a man The character is compact, the characters are built with a depth of thought, so even though the content is very thesis, leaving the stage, the audience is still satisfied and voluntarily accepts many open messages regarding love and family. , tolerance…
As for Madame Nu’s house, the viewer is like a student who is crammed with model literature, resentful not daring to understand the lesson that the director forces the character Nhi to teach regularly throughout the film. It’s a pity for Tran Thanh, if it wasn’t impatient, not overwhelming, cut the voice-over, let the story appear green, lively, multi-meaningful, how much more pleasant it would be.
3. Doesn’t help actors get promoted in acting
As an influential star in showbiz, and with a soul longing to make friends, Tran Thanh goes wherever he goes, pulling his friends and family there. From gameshow, talkshow to reality TV show; from web dramas to movies; where there is Tran Thanh, there are his teachers, his friends, his wife, his sister, his neighbors. This makes it easy for people to think that playing with Tran Thanh means he has a position and is supported by him.
However, I find that the ambition to control and impose on Tran Thanh makes it easier for him to “submerge” his relatives, rather than to support their talents. In the Lady’s House, that’s pretty conspicuous.
First of all, Le Giang, a charming comedian with good acting skills. Although the abuse of plastic surgery made her face less flexible, but her innocence and vitality made her very smelly the roles of legal, sincere, and salty working women, like the role of Aunt Le the tailor in Godfather such as.
But in Madame Nu’s houseTran Thanh did not help Le Giang promote his specific strengths, he destroyed Le Giang’s acting ability with his body, eyes, and facial expressions, just letting her curse, curse, curse and curse. . He destroys the creative ability of actors when they have to talk too much, leaving no room for a lost gaze, a sigh, a fist on the back to relieve the aches and pains of old age. get up early at night.
So Le Giang’s character Mrs. Nu has no depth. She lacks the minutes to listen to the heavy pressure on her shoulders: carrying an old mother who loves to have fun and her cubs of leopards; she lacks the minutes to miss her child, wait for her child, worry regarding her pregnant daughter; lacks the desire to hug and caress of a man. So Mrs. Nu became very foreign to the audience, she was a very unconvincing illustrator.
I was expecting Le Giang to bring back some hope for me when the woman met John at the hospital, when Nhi had a miscarriage. But no, she rushed back screaming, beating John so much that it made me want to regurgitate my stomach. Not every common, uneducated, clumsy mother is painfully noisy and shallow.
Uyen An is new to the profession, so she can’t say much. But because I watched this girl in The Godfather web drama version, I also saw that she did not really shine in the role of Nhi, even though this role Tran Thanh wrote specifically for her. In Nhi’s role, everything is in the middle, bad luck: the warmth is just for her mother, the love is just for John, the desire for a career is just right, the insolence and selfishness are just moderate.
Perhaps, being Tran Thanh’s younger sister makes it very easy for Uyen An to lose her mind on acting, if she is only used to playing the role of a victim of domestic violence; and was deprived of creative rights in roles due to being tamed by his brother. Song Luan is also the same, being a handsome and pale boy, not appreciated for his acting, in this film, Luan also preserves the inherent paleness, which fortunately is quite suitable for the paleness of John’s character. .
The remaining roles of Ngoc Giau, Viet Anh, Cong Ninh, Kha Nhu, or Tran Thanh himself are quite fitting and charming. Ngoc Giau, Viet Anh, and Cong Ninh are all great actors, so Tran Thanh is not strong enough to manipulate them; Kha Nhu’s role is good, but she has not been able to act to her full potential; and Tran Thanh’s Nhuan role is only at the level of round shoulders.
Therefore, playing with Tran Thanh seems to only help actors and singers have the opportunity, earn money, gain fame, but cannot help them promote their talents. On the contrary, sometimes this relationship is also a trap that causes them to lose their personality and ability, under the energy of Tran Thanh. Be close, don’t be too close!
4. Conclusion
Strangely, I “criticized” Madame Nu’s house with all enthusiasm and love for Tran Thanh. I’ve been following Tran Thanh since he was a toddler for the Golden Swallow contest, HTV’s contest to find a TV presenter. Gradually witnessing him become a versatile star of Vietnamese showbiz.
He possesses many factors to become a big character in all fields he pursues, including cinema. So, if influential people like you do not moderate and change, popular art will go down even further.
Film critic Le Hong Lam defends the popular philosophy and thorough research into the tastes of the masses by the Tran Thanh crew. According to him, to win at the box office, filmmakers need to study Tran Thanh’s tricks. But I would like to add, keeping the artistic quality of the work is the most kind and effective audience retention.
