Film Mountain Spirit and Water Spirit (Sơn Tinh - Thủy Tinh) was made at a time when the Vietnam civil war was extremely fierce. The shapes used in this film are originally patterns on the surface of ancient bronze drums, which are considered Vietnamese national treasures.

It based on a famous Vietnamese myth to mention about water management, but is also a warning about dangers from the outside that can destroy the country.
