According to shares from the crew at the exchanges, one of the behind-the-scenes details that the audience is interested in is that the kissing scene between Duc Thinh and his co-star did not appear in the official version. This decision came from producer Thanh Thuy, who directly participated in adjusting the script in the completion stage.
According to the story, the initial scene only stopped at the level of "touching lips", but was then completely cut off. The reason given is that this detail is not suitable for the emotional line of the film. "Boss Sò" does not focus on the love story between the two characters, but revolves around relationships and broader messages about family and human feelings. Keeping the kissing scene, according to the crew, may cause the film's flow to deviate or create a forced feeling.
This decision received quite positive feedback from audiences at the exchanges. Many opinions suggest that resting down on "eye-catching" details helps the film maintain its continuity and true content spirit. At the same time, this is also seen as a sign of a change in filmmaking methods, when emotional elements are put above details that easily create market effects.
From a production perspective, cutting off a scene that has been filmed is not an easy choice, because it relates to the cost and effort of the crew. However, in this case, the producer prioritizes the consistency of the story, instead of keeping an unnecessary detail.
