From the success of the movie "Tunnel", policy research for the field of literature and art

At the 39th Conference of the Executive Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, term XI, 2020-2025, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen praised the film Tunnels: Sun in the Dark.

The film aims to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day.

According to comrade Nguyen Van Nen, the film is attracting more and more viewers, creating a positive effect in society. The audience is large, diverse, especially young people, and is increasingly spreading widely in society. What is worth pondering is that this film is not invested by the State but by a group of filmmakers and sponsors who had ideas, prepared early, and had the support of agencies and organizations that coordinated closely and had high responsibility. The result was a very impressive film.

He commented that this is not only the private economy but also the field of literature, art, and cultural life; at the same time, he suggested that the city continue to think about mobilizing resources, policies, and support for this field.

“War films have always been invested by the State, but now they are made by the private sector. At first, we were worried about the effects and impacts. However, with a new approach and methodical investment, although the amount of money is not very large, we have achieved good results so far,” he commented and requested that responsible sectors continue to research, summarize, and grasp the situation to discuss upcoming policies.

“To understand thoroughly, to see deeply, to have real feelings for the people who lived and fought in the tunnels, not everyone has read or seen such an emotional visual image. After watching the film, many people linger to feel, think and absorb, from there seeing the value of sacrifice and the value of peace today, so that the next generations can live a worthy life,” comrade Nguyen Van Nen confided.

After 10 days of official release (as of April 14), the revenue of the movie Tunnels: Sun in the Dark reached 127 billion VND, setting a record as the highest-grossing Vietnamese war movie in the history of Vietnamese cinema.
