Veronica Ngo’s “Furies” is a prequel to the 2019 Le-Van Kiet film “Furie.” It follows Bi (Dong Anh Quynh), who goes on the run after murdering one of her mother’s customers since the man has killed Bi’s mother. She grew up doing odd jobs. But one fateful night, she’s rescued by Lin (Veronica Ngo) and taken to her team of mercenaries, which features Thanh (Toc Tien) and Hong (Rima Thanh Vy), with Di Sau (Nsnd Hong Van) serving as their caretaker. Lin and her girls have sworn to take down the big four—Hai (Thuan Nguyen), Long (Song Luan), Son (Gi A Nguyen), and Teo (Phan Thanh Hien)—and they won’t stop until these men and their businesses are destroyed. However, due to Bi’s trauma, it’s unclear how far she’s willing to go.
Why Do Lin And The Girls Want To Kill Hai?
Initially, it seems that Lin is providing a home for these girls to live and thrive instead of being abused on the streets of Vietnam. When Lin starts training Bi, it feels like she’s simply training her to become a stronger human being so that she can stand up to any man that wants to take advantage of her. It’s only when Bi proves her worth and shows that she can hold her own in a one-on-one fight that Lin reveals their collective goal. Hong was violated by three men. Thanh had to join a brothel in order to pay for her sister’s medical bills. As for Lin, well, her husband and her son were killed in a territorial war by Hai. Lin didn’t die, though. She faked her death with the help of Long so that she could avenge her family at the opportune moment.
However, Lin doesn’t reveal all this to the girls. Lin says that she wants to put an end to the injustice that’s happening to the women of Vietnam once and for all. And she paints Hai and his gang as the first step towards that goal. As underscored by Bi, though, Lin only wanted revenge, and she was brainwashing the girls about this idea of feminine rage and justice. Does that mean Lin actually didn’t believe in saving the helpless girls? Well, I think Lin did start the revenge saga with the intention of killing Hai. That said, as she started to dig deeper and deeper into his “empire,” she found out about the trafficking business and turned her mission into a “revenge+rescue” operation.
Why Is Long Helping Lin And The Girls?
Long is in love with Hong. Before going any further, I want to point out that this relationship is a little problematic because Hong is only 19, and Long looks like he’s at least in his 30s. And since Lin, the girls, and Long have been on this journey for quite some time, it means that this whole relationship started when Hong was a minor. So, no matter how you cut it, Long and Hong’s love story feels weird. It’s tragic, too, because Long and Hong dream of crafting a peaceful and violence-free future for both of them. And in order to get there, they have to take Hai out of the way, thereby making that the primary reason why Long is helping Lin and the girls. Read More…
