"Flip Side 7: A Wish" - a good and timely movie about motherly love

Maternal love is a topic that has been exploited a lot on the screen and in recent blockbuster movies. The movie "Lat mat 7: Mot giau uoc" by screenwriter and director Ly Hai, although still conveying a message about maternal love, the movie does not only talk about the sacred love between mother and child, but also deeply explores the way children express their love for their relatives in the context of current life with many worries in life, which has swept people away too quickly, causing their relatives to be sad without even knowing it.

Through the performance of artist Thanh Hien, the audience sees the main character in the film, Mrs. Hai, expressing the boundless love of a mother. However, she also carries many worries in her heart because after her children grow up, they go out to make a living. The children grow up, get married, have their own lives, and are also caught up in the social vortex: food, clothes, rice, money... Everyone is busy, everyone has a legitimate reason, so when the old mother falls and breaks her leg, the question "Who has to take care of mother, what should we do now? " is also brought up for "dissection", pushing the responsibility of taking care of mother... The film continues with Mrs. Hai's reluctant "cross-Vietnam tour " taking turns going to her children's homes to receive temporary care. Once again, Mrs. Hai has shown the great role of a mother in the family when she soothes disagreements or directly resolves difficulties that seem to be deadlocks in her children's families. This is also the moment that makes her children in the film as well as the audience unable to help but realize the truth: "A mother can replace anyone, but no one can replace a mother."

One of the beautiful scenes of the movie

In addition to the compliments and affection for this film, many viewers also think that the film has many "flaws" such as a predictable script, lack of emotional climaxes, lack of "turnarounds" often seen in Ly Hai's films, or a somewhat forced ending... but this is truly a film that is worth watching in terms of content, images, and sound, giving viewers a multi-dimensional view of life today. Despite different living conditions, different jobs, having a lot of money or little money, even though there are times when they cannot take care of their loved ones in time when they are in trouble, in the end, the members still love and are most responsible in the way they can contribute and bring. The film is humane but still realistic, without many unnecessary exaggerated details, without creating a one-dimensional feeling, too good or too bad in a person. "Flip Side 7: A Wish" makes viewers believe more in the values of humanity, family love, mother-child love, brotherly love, husband-wife love, etc., creating a song full of emotions and colors of life. This is a reasonable choice for viewers during the holidays, especially for those who like to watch Vietnamese movies.

Ms. Trang - Investment Consulting Director at a securities company, after watching the movie, felt: “It's been a long time since I've seen such a good and beautiful Vietnamese movie, carefully crafted from the scenes to the content, the cast is beautiful, and plays their roles very well. A movie that after watching, I feel that there is no need to assign main and supporting roles, anyone can be the main character, no need for fancy or dramatic sentences, but just simple and rustic with everyday details that touch the hearts of viewers. This is a movie worth watching, and families with children should take them to see it. Among the jungle of information flooding social networks with sensational, clickbait titles, instant noodle movies that distort the view of society, watch the movie to see more objectively and multi-dimensionally, life still has many valuable and good things.”
