The film Southern Forest Land by director Nguyen Quang Dung has just been released to the audience and has encountered some mixed opinions about the historical details of the Southern region in the early 20th century.
Besides the beautiful, emotional images, some people think that director Quang Dung and his crew did not express correctly and clearly some details, causing misunderstandings with the audience...
On the afternoon of October 15, sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Mr. Vi Kien Thanh - Director of the Department of Cinema (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) - said that after receiving opinions about the film Dat Rung Phuong Nam , the Department listened and took note because cinema is to serve the public.
On October 14, the film appraisal and classification council and a number of agencies and functional units re-appraised the film Southern Forest Land under the direction of the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Afterwards, the Department also invited the producer and film crew to dialogue and discuss some content related to the film.
According to Mr. Thanh, the producer will remove the names and lines related to "Thien Dia Hoi" and "Nghi Hoa Doan" and replace them with other names unrelated to foreign groups. This change is to avoid association with groups from the Qing Dynasty (China).
The film's producer said the dialogue in the film will change from "Boxer Society" to "Southern Boxer Society" and "Heaven and Earth Society" to "Righteous Society".
In addition, the producer adjusted the line: "The film is inspired by the novel Southern Forest Land by writer Doan Gioi" at the beginning of the film to clarify the filmmaker's intention of changing the timeline in the literary work, following more closely the TV series that has left an impression on the audience.
"The producer and film crew will urgently edit this content to avoid incorrect associations that affect the film's content. After editing, the producer will submit it to the Cinema Department before the film's official release on October 20," said Director Vi Kien Thanh.
Mr. Thanh added: "We respect all opinions to make the film better and more attractive. Hopefully these adjustments will make the audience love the film more."
Producer Quang Minh said that it is not uncommon for a newly released film to receive mixed reviews. The audience is also a knowledgeable person, through the "lens" of the viewer, unreasonable details are also pointed out to make the work better.
"The edits will take more time, but I believe the audience can wait to see a complete film that is most accurate to the time and history. After the noise, the Cinema Department promptly corrected the incorrect and bad details of the film so that the audience will love Vietnamese films more," Mr. Minh expressed.
