The bustling daily life and work pressure have caused the generation gap and the moments of family love to gradually decrease. With " Lat mat 8", Ly Hai hopes to "heat up" family affection, helping audiences who have not felt the warmth of love, protection or empathy for a long time, to have this "warm sunshine".
The film explores the conflict between Mr. Phuoc (played by Long Dep Trai) and his son Tam (played by Doan The Vinh).
Controversy broke out when Mr. Phuoc wanted Tam to follow the mechanical industry, while Tam wanted to shine on stage.
Mr. Phuoc's harsh ban pushed Tam into inner struggles, causing them to be apart. However, Tam's hope light was lit by his grandmother (played by Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong), who always believed in and created conditions for the children and the group The Light to practice and pursue their dreams.
It is clear that the controversy of Mr. Phuoc's family is not uncommon. It has been and is still happening in society, when the difference in views, thoughts and lifestyles makes it easy for children and parents to argue. No need to be complicated or trying to force it into the picture of many implications, Ly Hai painted a picture of a modern 3 -generation family, with the role of each person who was bold: Hien Tu - a strict father - a sacrifice mother - a floating son - a cute daughter.
Besides Mr. Phuoc's family, "Flip Side 8" also depicts other lives, each family is a " link" of modern society. For example, with Thanh (played by Ho Dong Quan) - Tam's close friend, he grew up in a family where his parents were all engrossed in making a living, crazy about work, and accidentally ignored his children's dreams. Only when they saw Thanh shine on stage did the two realize the brilliant talent that their children had secretly nurtured.
Meanwhile, Uncle Nhan (played by Quach Ngoc Tuyen), Mr. Phuoc's best friend, faced a family scandal when his wife Lan (played by Thuy Anh) fell into the arms of a third person...
The director of "Flip Side 8" said he did not try to " upset" the family picture, when there was a bright spot worth learning and full of positive energy from Mi (played by Bao Ngoc). Mi came from a rich background with a progressive parents, willing to support her child to pursue his passion instead of forcing him to study abroad.
The film explores common problems of modern families: work pressure, generation gap, the conflict between personal dreams and family expectations.
The natural acting of the cast "Flip 8" is a bright spot. The handsome male lead brings a tough and emotional and emotional man, making the audience angry but also too much. Meritorious Artist Tuyet Thu as Hien, and Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong as her grandmother, exudes a gentle but resilient look, shows that the image of a woman who has experienced a three wartime style, becoming a fulcrum for the family.
The film is a "sniper" reminder that family is always an eternal support. The film tells a conflict story, " suffocating" the audience with sad cuts of the family, then slowly healing through sympathy, understanding and mutual acceptance between the members.
