Major Minh Nguyet - People's Artist Tu Long's wife: There are parts of Red Rain that I dare not watch because they are heartbreaking.

VietNamNet concluded the film forum about the film Red Rain with comments from poet and critic Nguyen Phong Viet, Miss Huong Giang and Major Minh Nguyet - wife of People's Artist Tu Long.

A scene from the movie.

Critic Nguyen Phong Viet: 'Red Rain' could reach the 400 billion milestone

I think Red Rain is starting on its journey to set a record for the highest-grossing war film in Vietnam. With this rate of earning money, it is very likely that the film can reach the 400 billion VND mark. Luckily, the film is invested by the Ministry of National Defense and the Military Cinema, so there are big scenes that would be difficult for a private producer to achieve in terms of equipment and finance.

Red Rain , with the support of the Ministry of Defense, helps the audience have a comprehensive and satisfying view of the story of a war film taking place at a fierce time.

Poet and critic Nguyen Phong Viet.

With the characters in the film, Red Rain is a multi-line film, so although we clearly see the main character is Cuong by Do Nhat Hoang, the film does not focus too much on any character. We see many characters in Squad 1, each character is a personality, a story, a message on the path of dedicating all of their youth to protect the country, specifically here is Quang Tri Citadel.

For me, it is that multi-dimensional story that helps us to somewhat sketch out a generation of young Vietnamese people who went to fight. The story of the Citadel has the appearance of a very special war.

And in this special moment of celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day, the success, spread and inspiration of Red Rain is partly thanks to the historical timing.

Of course, Red Rain also has some problems that if done better, the story would have more depth and depth. But with what Red Rain has done, it is already a great thing. In addition, the story of the Tunnel and Red Rain of the present will be a push so that in the near future we will have films of great magnitude about the theme of war that are better, more attractive, more dramatic.

Regarding the film's limitations, I regret that among the film's very good characters, we lack background stories for them. For example, Ta, Sen or Cuong, we all know when we hear the stories they tell each other. We do not see the character's journey in their hometown before going to the battlefield to participate in a war where loss and sacrifice are completely predictable.

The character Ta could focus on his feelings before going to war. At the end of the film, when Ta's letter is read, we see that although he is a farmer with dirty hands and feet, we can still see that behind his rough and rustic appearance is a deep and delicate soul. He tells his wife to get married because that way he can rest in peace. If the director had more time for such scenes, the audience would have more sympathy for the characters' decisions, why they went to war, why they still have such torments.

Red Rain creates a huge emotion and spread at this time. I hope in the future we will have more historical films like Red Rain because it is the best, the most wonderful, the most wonderful way to bring historical stories to young people in a vivid, intuitive, and easily absorbed way, different from what we usually talk about through books.

Miss Huong Giang.

Miss Huong Giang: "Red Rain - A must-see movie"

"Yesterday after watching Red Rain, I stayed up all night to study all the historical milestones more carefully, realizing that there are still many historical milestones that I have not yet known correctly and fully.

Only by watching can one understand the fierceness of the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel battlefield in 1972, understand how important the 81 days and nights in Quang Tri Ancient Citadel were to the Paris Agreement, truly appreciate today's peace when watching the film footage recreating the brave sacrifice of thousands of soldiers of the Liberation Army of South Vietnam who died in the Ancient Citadel, which was only a few square kilometers wide. Most of those soldiers were students, who died when they were too young, some of them did not know what love was, only having time to call their sisters and mothers in their last moments.

Must go see Red Rain, must support these heavily invested military films so that we can continue to have more tragic films about revolutionary wars! Red Rain is a box office success, hopefully it will be a great motivation to one day not far away to see a film about the Dien Bien Phu in the air battle - Hanoi 12 days and nights and a series of resistance wars and campaigns that took place after that from 1973-1975.

Sitting down to watch the entire film’s credits and seeing the list of names of the people who contributed to the production of this film is truly overwhelming and awe-inspiring. That’s why Red Rain is a must-see!

Major Minh Nguyet.

Major Minh Nguyet - People's Artist Tu Long's wife: There are parts that I dare not watch because they are too heartbreaking.

I choose to focus on the traditional values of the nation. I always choose this place for my children to study and contribute. Forever live with value and contribute intelligence and labor to the beautiful country of Vietnam. Because not everyone is born a hero. My country has children who originally held pens and instruments but put aside their own dreams to stand up and take up arms.

The 81 days and nights in Quang Tri ancient citadel are pages of history soaked in blood and tears. That is the pain that every Vietnamese person needs to remember to cherish peace, which was exchanged for the blood of our ancestors, and to love the country more, not forgetting what the nation has been through.

Red Rain truly shows the fierceness of the land of blood and fire, where the youth fell for the eternal survival of the Fatherland. There were parts that I did not dare to watch because they were too heartbreaking, heartbreaking, and I could only shed tears.

Not only does the film recreate the war with intense images and sounds, it also touches people by telling the story of young soldiers with the desire to live, love and contribute. They chose to stop their youth so that today we can continue.
