Up to now, "The Rich Bride" is currently sitting at the top of the Vietnamese box office, with more than 44 billion VND (based on Box Office Vietnam revenue) and many audiences have supported it. The film is expected to continue to be successful in the coming days thanks to its irresistible appeal and the level of influence from the audience and fans of the actors in the film.
"The Bride of the Rich" brings together a great cast of Vietnamese showbiz actors such as Le Giang, Kieu Minh Tuan, Thu Trang, People's Artist Hong Van... In addition, the film also has the participation of promising young faces such as Uyen An, Samuel An, Quynh Luong... Having a diverse cast helps director Vu Ngoc Dang and producer Will Vu feel more confident when writing the script.
Laughter satirizes the ways of life
The story revolves around Tu Lac (Uyen An), who comes from a poor background and dreams of changing her life by marrying into a rich family. She and her family plan to deceive the young master Bao Hoang (Samuel An) and his mother, Mrs. Phuong (Thu Trang). They borrow money and exaggerate every detail about themselves, from their names to their jobs.
The film has created a humorous, satirical picture of the selfish desires and illusions of a rich life of a part of the youth.
Thinking that the wedding was about to take place, Tu Lac got caught up in a series of unexpected incidents that caused the drama to fall apart. The screenwriter skillfully painted a colorful picture of society, where the boundary between rich and poor became blurred. Through humorous and satirical situations, the work exposed the harsh truth that the desire for material things and fame is not only the privilege of the needy but also a common disease of the whole society. Even the rich and powerful cannot escape the vortex of hypocrisy and competition.
According to director Vu Ngoc Dang, the script of The Rich Bride is easy to understand and concise. He and his crew do not exploit the darkness and suffering of the rich bride, but instead incorporate comedy, highlighting the gap between rich and poor.
Through Vu Ngoc Dang's lens, the audience seems to be illuminated into the hidden corners of society, where money and fame become the measure of human value.
The film skillfully paints a picture of a multi-layered society, where each family represents a different shade. The old rich family with a long history, the newly rich family with ostentatiousness, and the poor family always yearning to rise up. The conflicts between the classes are not simply economic differences but also contrasts in life concepts and lifestyles. Through that, the film exposes the complexity of social relationships, where the line between good and evil, rich and poor becomes ambiguous.
The screenwriter's biting satire is the perfect highlight for the film.
As the "ringleader" and the female lead of the mission, Tu Lac always flexibly and smoothly switches between the young lady version and the poor family identity in the way of speaking and gestures. Sharp eyes, confident smile, without having to "force" to get into character, not only with Bao Hoang, Tu Lac conquered the audience right from the first frames. Uyen An also created good "chemistry" with most of the other characters in the film, from the love with Bao Hoang to the father-daughter relationship with Kieu Minh Tuan and Le Giang. Many viewers could not help but be moved when Tu Lac quietly shed tears before her father's feelings right before the plan succeeded, just because Mr. Hoa realized that being rich or not was not as important as his daughter's happiness.
The gap between rich and poor, family stories, and love lessons are cleverly conveyed in the film.
“The Rich Bride” is also a film filled with laughter. But there is happy laughter, but also laughter full of sarcasm and sorrow. Whether rich or poor, everyone has their own suffering and a painful past that turns their life upside down. The poor’s ambition to change their life is not bad, but if they go the wrong way, they will receive a tragic ending. It is not wrong for the rich to want to live up to their status, but that is when they let go of contempt and disdain.
The highlight of the film that makes the audience gasp when watching is the unexpected twists. From a plan of Mr. Hoa's family, Mrs. Mat exposed the tricks of two most prestigious families headed by Mrs. Phuong and Mrs. Ky to get rich. It turns out that to get so rich, they also used tricks.
The film's content has special highlights that give the audience goosebumps when watching.
This film directed by Vu Ngoc Dang is considered a safe film because there is no one to hate. Mrs. Phuong and Mrs. Ky, besides their arrogant and superior words, have never harmed anyone. The female lead Tu Lac's family is a fraud but still has self-respect and conscience. However, that cannot be denied that they did wrong.
"The Bride of a Rich Family" is not only an entertaining film but also a profound work of cinema. With a unique script, the film cleverly incorporates humorous situations and charming dialogues into the main story, giving the audience moments of comfortable relaxation. At the same time, the film also raises profound questions about love, family and society, making viewers ponder. This is truly a spiritual gift for Vietnamese audiences in the coming time.
