The film has Meritorious Artist Hoang Hai making mistakes about national costumes.

The movie "Walking in the Bright Sky" has just been released but has caused controversy because the female lead's outfit is different from the life of the Red Dao people.

On air from July 31, the movie Walking in the Bright Sky depicts the life of Pu (Thu Ha Ceri) - an 18-year-old Red Dao girl on the road to adulthood. At the age of 18, Pu must choose to go to university or get married to help her family pay off debt. The film features Meritorious Artist Hoang Hai.

The film "Walking in the Glorious Sky" depicts the lives of the Red Dao people.

The opening episodes of Walking in the Glorious Sky impressed the audience with its beautiful natural scenery combined with the unique traditional cultural features of the Dao ethnic group.

The first episodes of the film were mostly filmed in Cao Bang . The scenery here is a combination of majestic and poetic beauty.

However, the audience found that the costumes and the way the Red Dao people wear them were not suitable for reality. Accordingly, the Dao people's costumes include casual clothes and formal clothes, but the filmmakers did not distinguish the difference between these two types of costumes, so they let the female lead Pu wear formal clothes to herd buffaloes.

"The sisters wear the red flower-adorned ceremonial dress to herd buffaloes, and if the red flower-adorned dress gets muddy, where will the people find clothes to change continuously?", "The way to tie the head scarf is wrong, the ladies don't wear it sloppily like on the small screen", "We only wear these outfits on special occasions, holidays, weddings. It takes a whole year to make one outfit, how can we have enough to wear it to herd buffaloes and cut grass? "... are some comments from a group of Dao ethnic people about the film.

The female lead's outfit in the film is said to be unrealistic.

In the film, the person paired with Pu is Chai (Long Vu) - the richest young man in the village. Chai is deeply in love with Pu and tries every way to marry her. This also causes many obstacles for Pu in her studies. In the end, they decide to go to the city.

Not only the female lead Pu's costume, the male national costume of the character Chai was also criticized as incorrect and unrealistic. Chai wore a red yếm shirt and two pieces tied behind his back. These two details belong to the women's formal outfit.

"The filmmaker dressed Chai like that, and others who didn't know would think it was a formal outfit for men. Making a film about ethnic minorities is good and interesting. But it's necessary to let viewers understand the culture of that ethnic group correctly." A Red Dao ethnic person said.

The costume of the character Chai (Long Vu) also received a lot of criticism.

Dr. Ban Tuan Nang expressed his dissatisfaction when many production units did not thoroughly research the customs and costumes of ethnic people before producing films or organizing events... This caused many distortions in the lives and customs of ethnic people.

The researcher also believes that learning carefully about an ethnic community before producing content related to them is a respect for that community.
