I really appreciate the real perspective of the Rom movie on the life of the working poor in Vietnam, feeling very close. The acting skills of the actors are also very authentic, especially the two actors who play Rom and Phuc. But the content is missing, so the movie becomes confusing. This is the most unfortunate.

The audience of VO COMPLETION (HCMC)

The box is full of social issues such as orphans, dust, games, loan sharks, rent collection … but the most must-see is the cleanliness of the site.

Do not hesitate explore the topic Clearance

Why do the people in the apartment building in Rom get into the game and borrow money at bad interest? Why do they fall one by one into this dead end? Why will they never get out of that endless quagmire?

The answer is not simply laziness or red-black indulgence. These poor men are the last and weakest link in a giant line from the usurer, the mother house to the children’s house, connected by the trigger (the Rom child labor). But who is above usury moneylenders? That is the important question, but the answer is only silence.

Perhaps, this theatrical version is not enough to respond to the audience.

The old apartment building (filmed in Thanh Da) in the film was cleared of ground due to its tilting and destruction. Every time the land is cleared, a building, what changes is not only the fate of the land or the building, but also the fate of thousands of little people. Thousands of lives were changed forever, many families were left destitute.

Scene from the Ark of Tran Thanh Huy

Director Tran Thanh Huy understands this as blood and flesh, because for decades his large family lived in an old house that was cleaned from an area in Thi Nghe (Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh City).

In the movie, the boy Rom also became a homeless boy because his house was cleared. The parents energetically abandoned him on the lonely sidewalk. Turned into the trigger, that child lives at the bottom of the “bottom” of society, surviving with all his immaturity.

This is a rare film about authorization to be shown in Vietnam. The subject is considered thorny not only in the cinema but also in society. This is both a hidden development throughout the film and a painful and painful current issue that contains fundamental societal conflicts. contemporary.

So that Vietnamese cinema does not fall into illustration, pink or convention when it comes to reflecting reality, we need many films like Rom.

The biggest hole in this theatrical release lies in the changes to the contest that I saw at the 2019 Busan Film Festival. The cut scenes are not too big but they do have a decisive influence. for hidden layers of the film.

That is why many viewers asked questions like “Why is there a fire?”, “Who is the older brother (Wowy) and why?”, “Ms. Ghi (Cat Phuong) is fair or bad ? “…

Ruined life

Chest is over 18 years old, so the filmmaker throws his life from the street to the screen. “Life” is the most accurate adjective to describe Rom.

Ro’s “life” comes from context, image, sound, acting on words. This is even more impressive when the director and team are very young, only in their 20s when they began to pursue the project. As young people, they refused to give the film a dreamlike perspective, embellish reality, but frankly and soberly they delved deep into the social situation around them.

The quality of the film is like a creed, an extreme of its creators. Thanks to that extreme, the movie has reached this point.

Chest deserves to be the cousin of Ciudad de Dios, a Brazilian film about criminal gangs in a suburb of the Rio de Janerio suburbs. With this release in theaters, overall, the movie isn’t perfect, it’s not great.

But Rom is a collection of excellent scenes like the first monologue of the film, the battle between Rom and Phuc, the last stage is based on the haunting music of the musician Ton That An …

Lots of good scenes, but the movie came together too quickly in some major developments, Rôm feels fragmented, flawed, and short. Advice when seeing the Ark? Don’t try too hard to capture the story, immerse yourself in every scene.

The words of the two street children, Rom and Phuc, when they were fighting and fighting with each other, were authentic street language in every letter. The language of everyday life when put on film becomes cinematic language. It was as harsh and harsh as the underworld the movie describes.

In any case, it is important to acknowledge the bravery of director Tran Thanh Huy, HKFilm producer, and the rop team when they did their best to bring the film to Vietnamese audiences.

15 billion later a day and a half premiere

Released on September 25, Rom is the only Vietnamese film that “dares” to hit theaters this time after COVID-19. After a day and a half, Rup’s income reached 15 billion.

It draws attention not only for winning the New Current award, the best film award at the 2019 Busan International Film Festival, but also for the inspiring story about 8 years of filmmaking by director Tran Thanh Huy.

Playing the role of Rom and Phuc, the two young actors Tran Anh Khoa and Anh Tu Wilson fully act and indulge. In particular, Tran Anh Khoa’s Rom with a life story and a special look gave the audience unforgettable scenes.
