Mass Culture and the Patriotic Pantheon
It is not very important to know what few things myths can tell us about the future; they are not astrological almanacs…. Myths must be seen as a way of acting on the present…. The myth [is] an organization of images that can instinctively evoke all of the feelings related to the various manifestations of the war against modern society.
Georges Sorel1
1The new hero had indeed become a reality, but his true nature lay in his political role. The new man in a Marxist-Leninist society was primarily an object of political propaganda. He was more appearance than essence. He gained influence within society only as an object of representation, and as a link between the government and the people, he had to accept a certain immateriality. The hero was at the centre of an imagined community in which politics was defined by ethics and collective morality. The assent of the people depended on how well he established the course of a new virtuous path. Government leaders thus sought obedience through moral and spiritual values, not only through force.2 The new heroic figure was the personification of a general idea. He was not only an example and a model for DRV leaders, but a “constantly active source in [their] lives, for [their] power, s

To follow up with the enormous success of Ngoc Lan's solo videotape, Nhu Em Da Yeu Anh (As If I've Always Loved You), Tran Thang, the CEO and co-founder of May Productions, and Ngoc Lan once again collaborated and came up with a sophomore vehicle, Mat Troi Ben Kia Mua Ha (Sunny on the Other Side). Undoubtedly, there had been high anticipation given the unprecedented record of sales from Ngoc Lan's first solo videotape released back in 1990. Nearly everyone among overseas Vietnamese audiences, including myself, couldn't wait to see what May Productions and Ngoc Lan would come out with in the years to come and if the level of success enjoyed from Nhu Em Da Yeu Anh would ever be matched or surpassed. Such a task was deemed quite plausible for Ngoc Lan's video works, since the public had already seen such an example in her career as a recording artist a few years prior. This was, of course, in reference to the enormous success of her 2nd solo studio album, Nguoi Yeu Dau (1987), which had become the biggest selling solo studio album ever recorded by an overseas Vietnamese recording artist, that would be nearly matched the following year with the release of her third solo studio album, L'amour Tinh Ta, which ro
