After the screening of Peach, Pho and Piano at 10:50 p.m., Huynh Thi Kieu Tram (born in 2007) left the cinema with red eyes. Passionate about history and having won the second prize in the national history competition last year, Tram went to the cinema with the mindset of experiencing more realistically what she had studied in depth.

“Throughout the film is the brutal fire of war, but it is not dry theory like the numbers and letters on the pages of books and historical documents we have learned. Watching this film, I feel more detailed and complete the message of patriotism conveyed in the heroic pages of history” - Tram emotionally shared.

Huynh Thi Kieu Tram shares her feelings after watching the movie "Peach, Pho and Piano".

Like Tram, Le Thi Thao Ngan (born in 2007) still could not hide her strong emotions after watching the entire romantic epic film by director Phi Tien Son. In particular, the historical excerpt of the 60-day and night winter-spring battle from late 1946 to early 1947 in Hanoi made the girl choke up remembering her grandfather.

Ngan said: “The image of the soldiers, the suicide soldiers who fell down and were covered with the red flag with a yellow star in the film is the most beautiful image that left the most impression on me. As for my martyr grandfather, he sacrificed himself on the land of Que Son but could not be found, I do not know if anyone buried him, he was cold and had no relatives to burn incense… Until now, my heart is still beating strongly, the sound of the bomb explosion still haunts me, the tragic ending of the film still makes me nostalgic”.

The film has created a media "earthquake" that spread across social networks, stimulating curiosity about trendy films among young people. According to many people, although there are still many "flaws" in the techniques and content of a war film with an investment of only 20 billion, many viewers after watching the film feel the historical message about war, national pride, remembering the source of water when drinking...

“
“Dao, Pho, Piano is at a fairly average level, called quite well-rounded in the genre of films with the same theme but cannot be compared to classic revolutionary films of the 20th century. But with its current appeal, this is a signal showing the audience's demand for films with national and historical themes."
