Hong Diem's movie just aired and the audience complained: 'Too dark'
After only 2 episodes, the movie "Heart Rescue Station" starring Hong Diem has been complained by the audience for being too dark and full of conflicts.
The movieHeart Rescue StationWith the appearance of many famous stars in the "VFC universe": People's Artist Thu Ha, Meritorious Artist Pham Cuong, Hong Diem, Quang Su, Doan Quoc Dam... quickly attracted the attention of the audience.
However, after just airing the first two episodes, the film has revealed many conflicts. According to the plot of the film, the character Ngan Ha, played by Hong Diem, has a very good family background, her father runs a large company, is loved by her husband and mother-in-law, and has her own career.
However, she is always criticized and ridiculed by her biological mother. In episode 1, when Ngan Ha knew her mother had to be hospitalized, she immediately went to visit her but was coldly chased out of the hospital room by her mother. Even Mrs. Ha Lan (People's Artist Thu Ha) always used harsh, spiteful words to talk about her only daughter and her husband - Mr. Truong (Meritorious Artist Pham Cuong).
When Mrs. Xinh (People's Artist My Uyen) visited and praised her mother-in-law for raising her daughter well, Mrs. Ha Lan also teased Ngan Ha about being married for many years without having children, in order to get her daughter scolded by her mother-in-law.
It can be seen that the conflict between the mother and daughter is quite deep, to the point of being enemies. In one scene, Ngan Ha explains that Mrs. Ha Lan used to be a dancer and loved her daughter very much, but when she received a phone call informing her that Mr. Truong was having an affair with her best friend named Truc, she suddenly changed her attitude towards her.
Ngan Ha shared with her husband:“At that time, my mother felt betrayed and in a way, I was the one who doubled the pain of betrayal.”
Mrs. Ha Lan's resentment and reproach towards her daughter was so severe that Ngan Ha had to undergo psychological treatment for "mental abuse". Ironically, there are many "ambiguous" signs between Nghia - Ngan Ha's husband (Quang Su) and the psychologist who is monitoring the condition of the mother and daughter.
In addition, Nghia himself always shows his love, care and protection for his wife, but it seems that he is the one who makes Ngan Ha unable to get pregnant.
Episode 2 of the film also reveals that the female lead's seemingly exemplary father - Mr. Truong - also has many shameful secrets, to the point that someone sent his profile to his daughter's house.
Faced with his son-in-law's curiosity, Mr. Truong appeared confused and implicitly admitted that he had had some bad things happen in the past:“Someone must have wanted to shake the tree to scare the monkeys and stir up trouble. This is an old story, and it's a misunderstanding."
Only 2 episodes but there are already too many secrets, overlapping grudges and all revolve around the female lead. This makes many viewers feel tired and heavy.
On the movie forums, it is not difficult to find comments expressing discomfort with the plot of the movie. They think that the fierce conflict between mother and daughter Ngan Ha is too unreasonable because after all, they are mother and biological daughter and the one who betrayed Mrs. Ha Lan is Mr. Nghia.
The fact that the film reveals too many intertwined conflicts, all revolving around Ngan Ha, is criticized as intentionally creating tragedy, causing frustration for viewers.
In addition, the film also uses actors who have appeared and collaborated with each other in many previous blockbusters, which also causes a feeling of boredom for the audience.
Specifically, People's Artist My Uyen, who plays Mrs. Xinh, once collaborated with Hong Diem in the movieA lifetime of grudgesMeanwhile, People's Artist Thu Ha, Meritorious Artist Pham Cuong, Luong Thu Trang and Hong Diem made a strong impression when they appeared together inSunflower against the sun, Kieu Anh (playing the role of Mrs. Ha Lan in her youth) and Quang Su are also a favorite couple in the latest movie:My family is suddenly happy.
Besides, Hong Diem's acting also received some mixed comments. Some viewers commented that Hong Diem was a bit "old" compared to the main female character - Ngan Ha.
According to the plot of the film, this time Hong Diem continues to play the role of a “tragic actress” with familiar tragedies: broken family, betrayal by husband… this is a character motif that is quite familiar to the actress for many years. This creates repetition, causing a feeling of lack of breakthrough in Hong Diem’s acting.
The actress herself also realized that the character Ngan Ha was not new and was a difficult point for her. Hong Diem said:“The difficulty here is the script because the motif is no longer new to me, so how can I make it new? After careful consideration, Diem just thought like the character Ngan Ha in the movie.
I've been in this situation before, I've accepted the project, just keep going, read the script carefully to understand the character's personality and background and follow that path."
Regarding the film having too many duplicate actors from previous hit films, the actress expressed:“Diem and Thu Ha in this film still play the role of mother and daughter but their feelings are opposite. Diem hopes that after watching the film, the audience will no longer remember the image of Ms. Minh Chau or Mrs. Bach Cuc in the previous film, but will only remember Ms. Ngan Ha and mother Lan.”
Regarding the lack of breakthrough or self-renewal in character motifs, Hong Diem admitted that she also wanted to change the type of role but was not "lucky" enough:“I have thought about this, but sometimes I have to wait for fate because I have not received any such invitation yet. No director has dared to risk inviting Diem to play a villain role yet."
