This is the first Vietnamese work in history to achieve this achievement in August - a time that was considered the low season of cinema, when there was no big holiday to attract audiences to the cinema.
Following the domestic success, "Bringing mother away" will "go out", bringing the story of Vietnamese-Korean maternal love to international audiences. The film will be released in North America (US, Canada) from August 28, and in Australia - New Zealand from September 11. In Korea alone, the film is expected to be released in the second half of this year, according to the Korea Film Council (KOFIC).
Director Mo Hong-jin confided: My mother passed away when I was very young, so I had no chance to do anything for her. The older I get, the more I feel regretful. Maybe that's why I want to talk about family.
One of the factors that helps "mother leave" attract audiences is the heartbreaking love story of a mother and son, the film evokes reflection on attachment, responsibility and love - values that are sometimes forgotten in modern life.
Actor Tuan Tran shared: I often dont talk much to my mother because of my different opinions. Many times, children do not want to forget their parents, but because of work, the pressure of life and career, there are too many things to worry about."
With the mindset of being both mother and child, artist Hong Dao said: "We must sympathize with the young generation. The children now find a job, keep a job, and take care of their own lives... all of which are pressure. If you spend the whole day blaming yourself for "Why don't you call me?" it will be a discomfort. I think sympathy for each other will be easier to live with.
Although the film has many negative points in terms of logic and acting, this project is still selling tickets quite well in Vietnamese theaters.
In Vietnam, "Mom Go Go Go" is showing in cinemas nationwide.
