In recent years, the global stage has celebrated national film industries, with South Korea's 'Parasite' winning the Oscar for Best Picture. This has inspired many countries, including Vietnam. Following the massive domestic box office success of films like 'Nhà Bà Nữ', a serious question has emerged: Has Vietnamese cinema evolved enough to compete at major international film festivals? While local success is remarkable, achieving global recognition requires a different set of qualities.

Modern Vietnamese films have several key strengths. Many recent productions showcase high technical quality and impressive cinematography. Directors are creating stories with authentic characters and situations that deeply resonate with local audiences, leading to their popularity. This ability to tell stories that feel real and emotionally engaging is a significant asset. These films often explore family dynamics and social issues that, while uniquely Vietnamese, touch upon universal human experiences.

However, the industry also faces considerable challenges. A common criticism is that many film plots are predictable, often following familiar formulas from romantic comedies or family dramas. To appeal to international critics and diverse audiences, Vietnamese filmmakers need to explore a wider range of genres and embrace more original, complex narratives. Relying too heavily on what is popular domestically might limit a film's potential to travel and succeed abroad.

To bridge the gap between local popularity and international acclaim, a focused strategy is necessary. This involves more than just big budgets; it requires investing in scriptwriting and training a new generation of filmmakers. Government support and private investment in developing original stories could be the key factor that elevates Vietnamese cinema. The journey is challenging, but with the right combination of creative talent and strategic support, Vietnamese films could soon be contenders on the world stage.
