The ‘underground storm’ is forced, forced, and unrealistic

* The article represents the author’s point of view

Each movie after a period of airing received comments from the audience. Due to the different artistic appraisal and aesthetic “gut”, the compliments and criticisms are always different, possibly opposing each other. As for the filmmakers, especially the screenwriter and director, are not all talented, so every movie, no matter how good, has more or less details that are not very attractive, even considered as good. forced, forced, which we call the “grains”. Underground storm Is no exception.

The point is to calmly listen, be selective to absorb what is not appropriate, making the film bring both artistic value and educational value. But after the public’s praises and criticisms, I see the filmmakers Underground storm – represented by Dr. Dao Trung Hieu – screenwriter and deputy director has not very sincere feedback!

First of all, Mr. Hieu said: “Many are ‘accusing’ Underground storm” Is not right. The old people often say: “The tree is not afraid to die standing”. If there is no crime, who can force it? And see the comments and criticisms (Criticize) are accusations that aggravate the problem that only those who “prefer praise rather than criticism” are afraid of accusations. As long as the audience is still commenting, it is still interested in the movie. When the public is so bored that they don’t care anymore, there’s no point in arguing.

Mr. Hieu said to VietNamNet that Underground storm not a paint tool for some image. It reflects reality but the theme is the feat of friends and teammates and the author’s own. He wanted to tell me what a police officer is, what an investigation is. Please tell me, it is not a one-way painting (pink) but it is necessary to build the image of a people’s policeman with their good qualities. As for telling people what a police officer is, what is an investigation, many criminal police movies have already done that, viewers need something new here. Underground storm.

There are some details in the movie that I agree with many people’s comments that are forced, forced, and unrealistic. In it, there are 3 issues such as: the feelings of female scout Ha Lam are too easy and superficial. Not knowing anything about Hai Trieu, but Ha Lam fell in love until she broke up with Hai Trieu and fell in love with Doctor Hung – the younger brother of the German subject, whom Ha Lam was assigned to approach the investigation. .

Hai Trieu, because of jealousy, almost ruined the job, and also used alcohol to “relieve sadness”, got drunk, lost all reason… Then in the movie calling “the guy” and “the guy”. These issues are explained by Dr. Dao Trung Hieu that these are “life”, “real” sounds unconvincing.

With Hai Trieu, Mr. Hieu said that he built this character to be a very good scout but in real life he is extremely stupid. He is also very “human” so he makes mistakes, because no one is perfect. It is true that no one is perfect, but with what happens in the movie about Hai Trieu’s personality, bravery, spirit and ingenuity, seeing Doctor Hung cuddling with Ha Lam is only torment and sadness. and find a way to withdraw Ha Lam, not to the point of jumping in to use force like that.

Regarding the idea of ​​disagreeing with calling “that guy” and “that guy”, screenwriter and deputy director Dao Trung Hieu affirmed: “The film Underground storm is a confrontation with narrow conceptions of the people’s policeman in the film. In fact, we only call each other comrades when meeting or formal occasions, normally we address each other very naturally, close to life. I describe exactly what we went through. I write dialogues that stick to reality. It’s understandable that people who are used to painting a perfect soldier don’t like this title.”

It is true that in reality, it is only necessary to address the name comrade, during daily life, but in real life, it is not necessary to address it in an arbitrary manner. Except for the same age group outside of work, when having fun together, it’s okay to call me my friend. But when discussing work, especially when the superior refers to the subordinates, do not use the word “comrade”, at least use the word “you”. Too much, you can use the word “he” when you don’t have sympathy, but you can’t address that guy or that guy.

Mr. Dao Trung Hieu affirmed that: “I write lines like that to stick to reality”, where that reality is, not in Vietnam, not suitable for Vietnamese culture. And he said that: “Those who are used to painting perfect soldiers don’t like this name”, must consider it an insult because anyone with culture does not agree with such a name.

Finally, I want to mention a point of view that governs the whole attitude, the consciousness of receptive film criticism. Underground storm by script writer and deputy director Dao Trung Hieu. That is, don’t let every idea, everything that the author explores and innovates in the film be appropriate, all criticisms (criticisms) are “trafficking”. Do not think that anyone who criticizes denies the entire value of the series movie and the work of the entire team. Listen humbly to provide receptivity with more persuasive explanations.
