Mai movie: it turns out that there are so many unfortunate women in the world

It can be said that Mai is a g.irl "at the bottom of society", at the age of 37 too old, but her beautiful appearance makes the neighbors jealous and jealous. She also has a traumatic past that makes her self-deprecating but also does a sensitive job of massage therapy.

Through The Godfather (2021) and Grandma Nu's House (2023), director Zhencheng has continuously expanded his own cinematic "realm", conquering viewers by his very own storytelling style, witty, close, sincere but full of emotions. 3 years with 2 impressive movies every Tet holiday, the return of Tran Thanh and the Mai project in Tet 2024 cannot help but make the audience look forward to it.

If Ba Nu House revolves around the touching story of women with the same family: Ngoc Nu, Ngoc Nhu, Ngoc Nhi, then in the new film, Tran Thanh chooses to focus on the life of a woman with a special fate named Mai.

Devoting a lot of thoughts to exploring the theme of women on the big screen, Zhencheng shared: "I love and appreciate women. They have a lot of hidden corners and untold stories, so I wanted to do something for people to see and feel, empathize with and appreciate women more. Ba Nu and Mai's house are two different worlds in terms of art as well as the story and the interior of each character. In Ms. Nu's House, women are hurt but hurt others, while in Mai, although still hurt, the way women face and choose is completely different."

Maiis also the name of the main character - a g.irl who does therapeutic massage. When moving to a new apartment complex, Mai (Phuong Anh Dao) constantly encountered scrutiny and discrimination from the surrounding people and colleagues. The only person who loves her is her "real guest" named Dao (Hong Dao). Among the newcomers in Mai's life is Duong (Tuan Tran) - a famous "girl killer". Yang relentlessly pursued Mai. However, their relationship soon encountered turbulence when Mai was not only many years older than Duong but also had a tragic past.

Mai continues to promote Zhencheng's strengths in building characters close to real life. It can be said that Mai is a g.irl "at the bottom of society", at the age of 37 too old, but her beautiful appearance makes the neighbors jealous and jealous. She also has a traumatic past that makes her self-deprecating but also does a sensitive job of massage therapy. In the eyes of the world, Mai is considered a "girl", specializing in "seducing" men. In the eyes of her colleagues, she definitely had something to do to attract all the guests.

The character's life is a series of tragedies, everywhere he goes, he is scrutinized, cursed, hated. Then she burrowed herself into a shaggy, thorny outer shell to protect herself from injury. But when Yang appears, Mai can show her softness like any other woman. As it turns out, the 37-year-old looks strong, doesn't need anyone to protect her, but at times bursts into tears because she "wants to be loved."

However, this was only the beginning of another series of misfortunes. Zhencheng skillfully makes viewers love Mai, empathize with Mai and secretly wish her a beautiful ending after all events. The unexpected knots are properly integrated so that every time we are relieved that Mai begins to be happy, new pain comes. Many people will shed tears of pity for the fate of a g.irl who has so many scars and just wants to be loved but is so battered by life.

Besides Mai's story, the conflict between Duong and her mother is also very well built. Like the Grandmother's House, they are all victims of an incomplete family where the mother is overprotective and the c.hild cannot escape the shadow. The beauty of Mai is that there are no right people, no wrong people. It was all because their fate was so grim.

Unfortunately, Zhencheng is still a little greedy for details and wants to draw tears from viewers' eyes as much as possible. Therefore, towards the end, Mai becomes more dragged and rambled by superfluous details. Many scenes could have been trimmed or omitted to condense the emotion but were unnecessarily lengthened. The beginning of the film is still quite noisy, reminding viewers of the Woman's House. Some of the climactic scenes are still irrational in trying to force the character to go through tragedy by hurting them all.

The movie "Mai" pocketed 500 billion, the news that the male and female leads received more than 1 billion VND?
