In 2024, the movie “Cong Tu Bac Lieu” was officially released for the first time. This is a controversial movie surrounding the title Cong Tu Bac Lieu, with part truth and part legend. But sometimes, the legend of Cong Tu Bac Lieu overshadows the truth.
Everyone knows that the truth is sometimes so naked that it is difficult to make it into a film, literature, or novel. Speaking boldly, director Ly Minh Thang dared to use the keyword "Cong Tu Bac Lieu" as the project of the film. Mau Hong Film Studio produced it inspired by famous anecdotes about the young master known as "the world's most extravagant playboy".
The film revolves around the life of Ba Hon (Song Luan) - the son of the richest Councilor Linh (Meritorious Artist Thanh Loc) in Bac Lieu.
Having just returned from studying in France, Ba Hon has caused a stir throughout the South with his bold, unique, and wild ideas that seemed to have never appeared in society in the 1930s. Ba Hon's actions were opposed by his father, but also received a lot of support from his sixth sister (Kaity Nguyen), which helped him gradually realize right from wrong and discover his own identity.
Many people think that Mr. Ba Hon was based on the character Tran Trinh Huy, but it is important to remember that this is a work of art, so it is normal to have different opinions. Some even say that it does not respect history and culture. Some people argue that Bac Lieu culture and Bac Lieu people have been distorted by the film "Cong Tu Bac Lieu".
However, the title of Prince of Bac Lieu is not new. But the legends and stories about Prince of Bac Lieu are passed down as folk tales with the meaning of honoring Bac Lieu people with the culture of Bac Lieu, hospitable, slow, polite, civilized; not impulsively taking revenge, or outright refusing gratitude from others.
