After the work closed, the female artist said that she could not hide her emotions. Hong Dao burst into tears and sometimes choked up when sharing about the family story in the movie.
Nothing is more beautiful than motherly love and fatherly love. Each story has its own beauty. I am very happy to contribute to this movie," Hong Dao said.
The female artist's emotions come from the story she participated in telling on screen. In "Len Huong", Hong Dao plays one of the characters with many psychological developments, associated with trauma and maternal love.
People's Artist Hong Van - Hong Dao's close friend for nearly 40 years - commented that this character has many edgy features. According to her, Hong Dao must simultaneously express the mysterious, scary and painful look of a mother falling into despair.
Previously, at a press meeting on the afternoon of September 7, Hong Dao also said that the process of making "Len Huong" also made her somewhat change her view of life and death.
The female artist had about 5 days of filming in a context related to the coffin shed and funerals. Frequent exposure to these images made her think about the relationship between the deceased and the survivor.
Hong Dao recounted in the film that when the deceased lay still, the survivors were still in pain, regret, and arguing about things that could not be resolved.
At the age of U70 and having experienced health problems, Hong Dao admitted that she had thought about leaving but still felt scared.
However, the experience with "Len Huong" made her see the issue more lightly. The actress's conclusion is not about preparing for death but about how people treat each other when they are alive.
According to Hong Dao, when a person is gone, those who remain often start with the two words "if only": if only they had treated better, if only they had said a word of love, if only they could do it again.
Therefore, the female artist believes that instead of waiting for a time to regret, each person can choose to live more gently and love each other more when there is still an opportunity.
Not only Hong Dao, many members of the film crew were also moved after the screening. Vo Tan Phat ran down to the audience seats to hug his mother, Ha Anh cried when thanking her mother, and co-director Tan Hoang Thong choked up mentioning his father and family memories that he brought into the work.
