Audiences are both expecting real life characters and waiting for cinematic rewards?

Drama (events or stories with dramatic, conflicting nature) is the backbone of many movie scripts to create attraction, retain the audience and promote the plot. However, there are many movies that overdo it, even break the logic of the script, causing indigestion and frustration. The audience feels tired, "life is too suffocating, after watching the movie... they stop breathing".

Some movies that can be mentioned are Mother Sea, Heart Rescue Station, Apple Blossom, Stolen Happiness, Missing the Sunny Day, Taste of Love ...

Share with Youth movie premiere Gentle sunlight , Screenwriter Trinh Khanh Ha believe that the audience is becoming more demanding and intelligent.

Movies have to tell stories that the audience can believe. That's why movies tend to be more realistic, with more real characters, not too bad and not too good.

"But sometimes the audience both expects very real characters and waits for very cinematic prices," Trinh Khanh Ha expressed.

Ha said she was "quite skeptical about the audience's reaction because according to statistics, the episodes with dramatic plots are the ones with the highest views, discussions, and interactions."

Drama must not be fake or fabricated.

Pham Ha Thu - one of the most sought-after screenwriters in the South - shared that there are many types of audiences, some like light, emotional movies, others like movies with a lot of drama.

Nowadays, life is stressful and pressured, so some audiences prefer movies that are humane, kind, healing, and gentle. They are afraid of watching movies filled with drama. However, drama is not a bad thing, it is an important factor to make a movie good and attractive to the audience.

"Drama must be 'true', meaning it must be true to the character's psychology, true to the context, logical, and real, not fake or fabricated," she said.

For example, when a person is pushed to the limit and rises up, the drama makes sense. The audience will sympathize and anxiously follow the fate of the character. But if Overusing drama, trying to create situations that are not true to real life or pushing characters into forced situations will make the audience tired, frustrated, and reject the film.

According to Pham Ha Thu, audiences today understand movies better and can predict the plot. TV drama scripts also need investment and creativity, dramas must also be built in a sophisticated and profound way to avoid boredom.
