Thanh Huong reveals Luyen's love for Luu at the end of the movie 'Is Life Still Beautiful'
In the movie "Life is still beautiful", actress Thanh Huong impressed the audience when she successfully portrayed the character Luyen - a poor, strong-willed working woman with an unfortunate fate.
As a film that has attracted the attention of the audience and maintained its form since its broadcast until now, how does Thanh Huong feel?
The success of "Life is still beautiful" comes from the efforts of the entire production team. Director Nguyen Danh Dung always tells us that today's audience is very sophisticated, so we have to act in a way that creates the most realistic scenes. He is the one who inspires the passion for the profession so that everyone can devote all their heart to the film.
For Thanh Huong, once you start working, you have to do it to the end, ensuring all professional factors are met to be considered satisfied. The effort in art cannot be measured, so I always tell myself to give it my all, and the evaluation of that process depends on the audience.

With the role of Luyen, how does Thanh Huong see the difference compared to her previous roles?
I research every role thoroughly, from the script reading stage to the storyline. Each character has its own circumstances and personality, so no role is easy to perform. I always struggle to find the good points of the character, and other external factors such as rain, sun, illness... are too familiar.
With the character Luyen, the difficulty in getting into character is how to make the audience recognize, sympathize and give love to this woman who has gone through many misfortunes. As for makeup, Thanh Huong feels very happy when many audience comments say that Luyen in the film is somewhat simple, gentle but very beautiful.
The movie is coming to an end, the audience expects Luyen and Luu's relationship to come together, what about Thanh Huong?
When watching the film, each audience has their own perspective and Thanh Huong respects that. Some people want Luyen and Luu to be together because one side is a “single parent” and the other side has a husband who has disappeared. But there are also viewers who think Luyen deserves to be with someone who can take care of her life properly.
In love, I am always the one who listens to my heart. So, I think Luyen can absolutely choose Luu if she feels love and wants to be with this man for the rest of her life.
Many people like the role of Luyen, who is strong, individualistic, and emotional, but some people hate her because they think she is slippery and acts emotionally, with many bad habits. What do you think?
Life always has good and bad sides, so does the role. Luyen is a smart, resourceful woman who takes good care of her mother-in-law. On the other hand, she is always on the defensive against the twists and turns and scams in the poor market.
That difficulty sometimes makes Luyen act emotionally and deviously to "breathe easier" in life. However, Luyen is still a kind and emotional person by nature. During the production process, I just stick to the script and try to complete it well, and let the audience judge the character.

The role of Bat - Luyen's younger brother caused a lot of controversy because he revealed too many bad traits. What is Thanh Huong's perspective?
The role of Bat is an important link in the film. Through this character, the audience can see more clearly the suffering of Mrs. Tinh or how Luyen deals with her dissolute, dissolute younger brother.
Besides, the way the parents care for Luyen and Bat also shows the discrimination and male superiority in this family. On the other hand, I think the fact that many viewers hate the character Bat is also a great success of actor Tuan Anh in the film.
Many audiences think that for an experienced actress like Thanh Huong, the role of Luyen is not difficult for her. What do you think?
Huong never dares to claim that any role is easy. I also feel that I need to learn a lot from previous artists such as Meritorious Artist Thanh Quy or Meritorious Artist Hoang Hai. They are trying every day, so how can I pat myself on the back and say that any role is simple?
In every role, I just try my best, give it my all, sometimes even at the cost of blood and tears. All to satisfy my passion to pursue my artistic path to the end.
Up until now, it seems that when mentioning Thanh Huong, the audience no longer labels her as "Lan Cave" - a prominent role like before. What does Thanh Huong think about her efforts to shape her name through her roles in recent times?
I feel lucky to be entrusted with many impressive roles, so it is much easier to perform. However, Thanh Huong always believes that the best and most dedicated role is the upcoming role.
This means that everything is still waiting for me ahead and what I need to do is try to act better. My teacher - People's Artist Hoang Dung once said to live with the fire of passion to always be worthy of the luck that the profession brings and the love of the audience.

Many viewers speculate that at the end of the film, the characters will have a happy ending, which is the message of the film. What does Thanh Huong have to say about this?
Just like the movie title "Life is still beautiful", the crew will always aim for good things, thereby showing everyone that no matter how difficult life is, happiness is still at the end.
The audience can completely hope for that in the following episodes, and Huong asks for permission to let everyone fully feel what the film crew wants to convey.
As for the message of the film, we will send positive, beautiful values of life. No matter how many bad people you meet like Bat or how difficult the situation is like Luyen, good people always have a peaceful place to stay and vice versa.
Thanks for sharing!
