Self-proclaimed 'critic' on social media should only admit to being a 'reviewer'

Following the interesting conversation of film producer Charlie Nguyen about the issue of "housework", journalist and critic Le Hong Lam brings a new color with his sharing about criticism in Vietnam along with specific evidence.

Currently, the film producer born in 1977 does not work full-time at any media agency, but he still feels most confident in his role as a journalist. According to him, the role of critic is given by many people, they call it so much that it becomes familiar. "I think there are two types of critics, press criticism and academic criticism. Press criticism is faster, more direct, and more concise than academic criticism, academic criticism requires very deep specialized knowledge," he said.

According to journalist Le Hong Lam, there are two types of criticism: press criticism and academic criticism.

According to journalist Le Hong Lam, in Vietnam, academic criticism has not been invested in and developed like press criticism. In addition, before the appearance of many self-proclaimed film critics or entertainment products on social networks, he said: "Diversity is always good. But, for those who call themselves critics on Facebook, I think it would be more correct if they were called reviewers. I also think that if criticism is correct and known by many people, that is a good thing, it makes the entertainment environment and the Vietnamese film environment better."

In Story VI , the film producer also pointed out the shortcomings of critics in Vietnam and gave specific examples.

At the same time, talking with host Nguyen Khac Ngan Vi, Le Hong Lam also discussed the issue of sexual violence against women through movies in particular and the entertainment industry in general.

"From ancient times to the present, literature has always praised the sexuality and beauty of women, but today in society sex is still used to humiliate women," Le Hong Lam commented.
