From the cold Major Vong, facing Six Tams to the robber general Bach Hai Duong, Thuong Tin has created 3 classic images of Vietnamese screens. Each character is a unique mark, contributing to his construction of a monument that has been difficult to replace for decades.
Referring to Thuong Tin, the audience not only remembers a talented actor of the 1980s–1990s, but also remembers the roles that have become the "common property" of Vietnamese cinema. Interestingly, his three most prominent roles – Major Vong, Six Hearts and Bach Hai Duong – belong to three completely opposite character lines. It was this contrast that proved his rare ability to transform, and also explained why they became symbolic.
Major Luu Ky Vong in The Upside Down Game is the first villain role to bring Thuong Tin's name to stardom. Despite only appearing in two episodes, this character still makes the audience "chill" with the sinister expressed through each sharp eye like a knife, a defiant smirk and the demeanor of a powerful but dangerous person. At that time, villains in Vietnamese films were often built quite one-sidedly, but Thuong Tin created a deep, reasonable, and introspective Vong. It is that subtlety that makes the role, even though there is little land, still live in the memory of the viewer.
The complete opposite is the Six Hearts in the Saigon Rangers – a brave, quiet and idealistic ranger soldier. If Major Vong makes people afraid, Six Hearts makes people love. Thuong Tin does not play Six Hearts as a perfect hero, but as a real person: there are fears, there are sacrifices, there are moments of weakness but are still consistent. The scene of the character dying in the film once made many viewers cry, because that sense of loss came from honest and colorless acting. This is also a role that helps him be loved and trusted by the national audience on the front line.
But perhaps the role that makes Thuong Tin a true "legend" is the robber general Bach Hai Duong in Hunting and Robbery. This character is not a good person, but it is not entirely bad either. He once shared that Bach Hai Tang "robbed because of a stuck life, not because of greed", and it was that understanding that helped him create a criminal image with psychological depth. Thuong Tin went to the cell to observe, to understand how a person who is cornered in the same way thinks and behaves. As a result, Bach Hai Duong in the film is both intense, tragic, and romantic that the audience cannot hate completely. This is the type of role that not all actors dare to accept, much less everyone can play.
The common point of these three roles lies in Thuong Tin's ability to "play the role to the end". He acted not only with technique, but with intuition, with life experience, with the experience of a person who understands light and darkness in people. That makes each character he touches have their own soul, not to be confused with anyone.
Audiences of many generations still refer to these roles as part of the beautiful memories of Vietnamese cinema. In the days of Thuong Tin's death, social networks were filled with regretful sharing. It's not a pity that he once fell into the trap, but it's a pity that such a once brilliant talent has closed his journey. Those roles – Major Vong, Sau Tam, Bach Hai Duong – are the biggest legacy he left behind, and also the reason why the name Thuong Tin is forever mentioned as a symbol of the Vietnamese screen.
