The film "Dat Rung Phuong Nam" directed by Nguyen Quang Dung is a work that has attracted public attention since the project was first announced. Because the 1997 TV series has left a special mark in the hearts of many generations of audiences. Remaking a classic work in film form will not be easy and there will certainly be comparisons.
Many conflicting opinions arose when Tran Thanh transformed into the role of Bac Ba Phi - which was previously played very well by artist Mac Can in "Dat Phuong Nam" and Mai Tai Phen played the role of Vo Tong.
Tran Thanh will transform into the role of Uncle Ba Phi
Artist Mac Can played the role of Uncle Ba Phi well in the TV version of "Dat Phuong Nam"
Mai Tai Phen transforms into Vo Tong
Actor Le Quang made his mark with the role of Vo Tong in the TV version.
Some viewers criticized the film's inappropriate casting. They commented:
"Tran Thanh is still young, even with makeup it is difficult to create the image of Uncle Ba Phi which is deeply ingrained in the imagination of people in the West about this character";
"Tran Thanh's sense of humor has nothing sincere or Western-style";
"Mai Tai Phen is too handsome, looks like a scholar, not the image of a warrior catching crocodiles like Vo Tong";
"Why not choose completely new actors who fit the character's image? The previous TV actors were mostly new and they made the audience believe in the character."
Besides the criticism, some other viewers think that the film crew should be given a chance to prove their choice, along with encouraging comments:
"I will wait for the movie to come out to see how they act, and whether they can replace the classic characters from before";
"I don't think it's suitable, but I'll wait and see how the film crew handles it. If we don't support creativity, it will be difficult to have good works for the audience to watch";
"Many people don't like the actors so they criticize the whole crew, this is unfair, I will wait and see"…
