The "Generation of Miracles" of the billion-dollar director: Criticized as a disaster, each show only sold half tickets!

The Vietnamese film "The Generation of Miracles" is becoming a hot topic of discussion on social media after achieving box office figures considered unprecedented in the history of Vietnamese cinema.

According to published data, at times the average number of tickets sold per screening was only about half, meaning many screenings had almost no audience.

This fact quickly attracted attention and sparked controversy, because even previously poorly-rated films rarely suffered such a massive box office failure.

"The Generation of Miracles" is a project directed by Hoang Nam, known for his videos on digital platforms and for his previous films that grossed hundreds of billions of VND. Therefore, the new film was expected to continue his previous success. However, upon its release, the film did not receive a positive response from audiences. After the first few days of screening, the film's revenue only reached a few hundred million VND, significantly lower than the average for Vietnamese films released at the same time.

The film revolves around the story of a group of young people pursuing their dreams in the fields of technology and entrepreneurship. Although the theme is positive and inspiring, many opinions suggest that the script's execution is disjointed, lacks climax, and fails to create an emotional connection with the viewers. Some viewers commented that the situations in the film were not convincing enough, the dialogue felt awkward, and the overall work did not achieve the expected effect.

Besides the film's quality, director Hoang Nam's comments after its release also sparked mixed reactions. The director stated that he had invested all his assets into the project and was currently facing significant financial difficulties. These statements quickly spread, but instead of receiving absolute sympathy, a segment of the audience expressed weariness. Many argued that emphasizing personal circumstances cannot replace the quality of a film, especially when audiences pay for tickets expecting a worthwhile movie.

On online forums, many comments suggest that "The Generation of Miracles" exemplifies the disparity between ambition and execution. Some consider the film not a "disaster," but also acknowledge that calling it a disappointment is not an exaggeration. The fact that the film had screenings but virtually no audience is seen as a clear signal reflecting the market's lukewarm reaction.

The story of "The Generation of Miracles" also sparked much reflection on the path of filmmaking in Vietnam, especially for projects funded by individuals. The current market witnesses fierce competition between domestic and foreign films, while audiences are becoming increasingly demanding regarding content, storytelling, and production quality. A film that fails to meet expectations is easily rejected, regardless of how much effort or money the filmmakers have invested.

The fact that a Vietnamese film only sells half the tickets at each screening is a sad reality, but also a clear lesson for those in the industry. "The Generation of Miracles" shows that enthusiasm and individual effort alone are not enough to guarantee success if the final product fails to convince the audience. The reaction from the box office and public opinion is turning this film into a much-discussed case, not only because of its low revenue, but also because of the debates surrounding filmmaking methods and the responsibility of creators to their audience.
