Rabbit ơi!!" is approaching the revenue level of 300 billion VND, and may exceed the revenue level of 400 billion VND, completely dominating the dominant position compared to the remaining Tet projects.
Of course, like many previous projects, "Thỏ ơi!!" caused controversy about the script, the storytelling was somewhat cumbersome, the dialogue was dense and noisy...
To be fair, "Thỏ ơi!!" is a great effort of Tran Thanh in his way of innovating himself. Watching "Thỏ ơi!!" can be seen that Tran Thanh himself is also under great pressure in innovating himself, overcoming his own limits.
Tho oi!!" exploits the thorny contradictions and conflicts in married life and love. Tran Thanh chooses a storytelling style with dramatic and thrilling colors, pushing conflicts to a climax with many "knot openings", "knot tightening", and plot twists when leading the character line.
Especially, in "Thỏ ơi!!", Tran Thanh pays close attention to the way colors are played. He arranges and promotes hot colors in costumes, settings... creating a space that is both stuffy and dramatic. The music part is also focused on, the enchantment of "Hoa gạo" (the main song of the film) makes the story more gruesome and dramatic.
Tran Thanh strives to tell the story "Thỏ ơi!!" differently from the previous 4 works, but still reveals weaknesses that have also become "uniqueness" of Tran Thanh's films.
Rabbit ơi!!" was so noisy that it was unnecessary, dialogue with dense swear words, in which there were many redundant lines.
The script "Thỏ ơi!!" is overwhelming, greedy for details. Many characters are so heavy that they exceed the acting ability of "amateur" actors.
Tho oi!!" could not surpass Tran Thanh's previous impressive works such as Mai or Father.
By the 5th work, restraint is necessary for Tran Thanh. He needs to restrain details, dialogue, and the whole cast of supporting characters to be long and large enough to be superfluous... to make the story more concise and refined... like he once refined with "Mai".
After 5 films, Tran Thanh participates in one role in every film, and the roles he plays are also showing similarity in acting color.
Mr. Ba Sang (Godfather), Nhuan (Mrs. Nu's house), the father in the movie Mai or Kim in "Thỏ ơi!!" are all poor, struggling with livelihoods, clinging to conflicts over money, all carrying psychological instability.
Most recently, from characters like Mr. Hoang (Mai) to Kim (Thỏ ơi!!) through Tran Thanh's acting, they all carry abnormal psychology, a life of confinement, tragedy, and a complex and insane inner world.
Tran Thanh's characters are somewhat similar to him in real life, all have many dialogues, and are very... controversial, debating. In any work, Tran Thanh's characters also fall into a series of climactic conflict scenes, loud dialogues, and fiery arguments.
If he continues to choose characters according to this formula, Tran Thanh can show off his acting skills, but it will push him into monotony - like many actors have encountered.
Tran Thanh is affirming his rare attraction, unparalleled influence, each movie released in theaters overwhelms revenue. What Tran Thanh still needs is calmness, moderation, and meticulousness to have a breakthrough that is even more surprising in the future.
