If nothing changes, Flip Side 8 perhaps the first commercial film to premiere at this historic landmark.

Online, many people consider this move of Ly Hai "bold", "unique" and this is an "unprecedented showcase" of Vietnamese cinema.

Flip Side 8 "steer" extremely sharp?

Choosing the historical site of the Independence Palace to organize a showcase that made many people ask questions Flip Side 8 Is there a sharp "turn" in film genre?

"A movie about idols, father-son love or history?" is one of many comments. Some viewers speculated that "it probably just includes a few war scenes to remind young people of what their ancestors went through", "this will definitely be a healing movie".

Flip Side 8 The film revolves around a group of young people living in the harsh Central region, who have a passion for music and want to become idols, including the main character Tam (played by Doan The Vinh).

Tam and his friends form a band, register for a talent show and have the opportunity to perform on a big stage. However, Tam's wish is met with opposition from his family. This leads to a clash between generations.

Compared to previous films, Flip Side 8 is considered a new step forward for Ly Hai when he goes into explaining a more multifaceted and complex topic.

When the grandchild asked if the grandmother had forbidden parents from choosing their dreams in the past, the grandmother replied: "In your mother's time, there weren't many choices to forbid."

This also makes today's children understand that their parents had a difficult childhood, had few options for the future, and did not dare to take risks with distant dreams.
