Episode 16 of "The Other Side of the City" reveals the reason why Khue (Thai Vu) always feels guilty, afraid of the sound of trains and avoids Tuyet Lan (Tu Quyen).
Tragedy happened a year ago when Huy (Le Duc Quan) - Tuyet Lan's older brother - because of the inferiority complex of being compared to Khue, developed hatred and continuously insulted his classmates. Cuong (Vo Hoai Vu) appeared to intervene and a fight broke out.
After an argument and brawl, Huy chased after Khue. While running away, Khue climbed over the bridge railing, while Huy tripped on the rails and got into an accident. The accident scene on the train tracks attracted great attention from the audience.
TikTok channel VTV Go has posted the behind-the-scenes of this movie scene and attracted 1.5 million views after 1 day of posting.
It can be seen that the actors in the film only do fake gestures in the brawl scene. When Huy ran onto the train tracks, the truth is that no train passed by. The actors were kept absolutely safe in this scene.
On social networks, many viewers praised the acting of Thai Vu and Vo Hoai Vu in the difficult scene.
However, some people also think that this is a dangerous scene, heavily psychological, not suitable for a school movie like "The Other Side of the City". Many people wonder who is responsible for Khue's death.
Previously, when talking about "The Other Side of the City", the director duo Meritorious Artist Vu Truong Khoa and Dao Duy Phuc chose to directly exploit the problem of school violence and cyber violence instead of following the familiar romantic youth motif. The film focuses on reflecting the psychological traumas of adolescence and the long-lasting consequences of those traumas.
According to the crew, the work does not see the problem in a one-sided direction. Besides the pain of victims like Khue (Thai Vu), the film also shows that bullies like Huy (Le Duc Quan) may stem from family pressure and unhealed injuries.
In particular, "The Other Side of the City" emphasizes the reality of "double violence", when school violence not only stops in real life but continues in cyberspace, causing young people to face even heavier pressures.
