Mr. Nguyen Viet Cuong (in Quy Nhon Nam ward) said: "I took my whole family to see the movie. The movie partly depicts the fierceness of the war, especially in Quang Tri citadel - where I went and listened to the explanation about the 81 days and nights of heroic fighting of our army and people. My father also participated in the resistance war against the US, so he was quite impressed with many details in the movie."

The film has tragic details that I could not imagine, making me more grateful and appreciative of the contributions of those who fell for the Fatherland."

Many viewers believe that the release time also contributed to the film's success, thanks to its resonance with the spirit of patriotism and national pride on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of National Day.
