Released in 1994, the film is set in a northern village during the war against the US, revolving around two main characters: Mr. Bach Van (NS Hong Son), a father whose son died on the front line, and Ms. Binh (NSUT Le Vy), a woman whose husband went to fight far away and never returned. In their loneliness, they found each other, overcoming the harsh prejudices of the village to enter a new life together.
Director Nguyen Thanh Van shared that the image of the eucalyptus tree in the film is a metaphor for people who silently and quietly contribute to the country, like Mr. Bach Van and Ms. Binh. “Eucalyptus trees can live in arid places, few people pay attention to them, but they are as resilient and resilient as the people in the rear who are nameless, without glory, but indispensable in the war,” he said.
One of the touching behind-the-scenes details revealed by the two directors was that Meritorious Artist Le Vy was pregnant during filming but did not tell the crew. Despite the heavy earth-carrying scene, she was determined to do it herself instead of asking for a stunt double. “We only found out later, and were extremely impressed. It was one of Le Vy’s most sublime roles, full of inner strength and sophistication...”, director Pham Nhue Giang shared.
The film not only impressed with its profound script and realistic setting but also with the excellent performance of the cast. The role of Binh helped Le Vy win the Best Actress award at the Vietnam Film Festival, while the character Bach Van played by Hong Son was considered one of the most profound images of farmers on Vietnamese screens.
After more than three decades, The Nameless Eucalyptus Tree still moves audiences not only because of the story in the film, but also because of the memories and emotions behind the camera, where art, passion and silent sacrifices converge to create a work of a lifetime.
