When I left the theater after the screening of Red Rain, I was filled with emotions that were difficult to fully describe. The film is not only a cinematic work but also a heroic epic about the 81 days and nights of bloodshed in Quang Tri Citadel in 1972. Director Dang Thai Huyen and his crew realistically and movingly recreated the fierceness of war, where young soldiers in their twenties bravely entered the battlefield with burning faith and love for their country. I was really impressed with the way the film built the characters. They are not distant heroes, but ordinary boys and girls, with dreams, fears, and youthful love. It is that simplicity that makes their sacrifices all the more sacred. There were moments on the screen that made the whole audience silent, and many people shed tears. I also choked up when I saw the images of backpacks, rubber sandals, white daisies... as a reminder of irreplaceable losses. Red Rain not only brought emotion, but also aroused in me a deep pride and gratitude. Proud that our nation has had resilient generations, daring to use their blood to protect every inch of our homeland. Grateful because thanks to that sacrifice, today's generation can live in peace and happiness. At the same time, I also respect the film crew, because they dared to commit to creating a historical work full of humanity, rekindling the flame of memories in the hearts of young audiences.

I cried so much after watching Red Rain. For me, this film truly deserves to be known by more people, to be seen by more audiences, and to reach much higher box office results. It carries the pain, the losses, and the brutality of war in general, and especially the devastating battle of Quang Tri.
Some people may like the character Quang because of his cool appearance, good looks,.... However, in my view, his ideals are rather selfish and vague. On the other hand, the Vietnamese soldiers fought for something much greater - the independence of the nation, the restoration of peace, and the hope that Vietnamese could finally live in harmony and happiness.

I've watched the film twice, and each time it moved me to tears. It is an extremely realistic portrayal of the 81-day-and-night battle to defend Quang Tri Citadel during the Vietnamese people's resistance war against the Americans. A highly realistic and historically valuable film. It features many cinematic camera angles, is both tragic and epic, yet also includes many humorous situations. Highly recommended for everyone to watch and enjoy.

This movie is a powerful depiction of the 81-day siege of Quang Tri Citadel, capturing both the brutality of war and the humanity of those who endured it. The film combines striking visuals with a haunting score, immersing the audience in an atmosphere of tension and sacrifice. While certain dialogue exchanges occasionally feel over-dramatized, the sincerity of the performances and the authenticity of the setting elevate the narrative. As both a cinematic achievement and a historical tribute, 'Red Rain' stands out as one of the most significant Vietnamese war films in recent years."
I find Rain of Red to have a strong screenplay, adapted from a famous novel, staying faithful to history while portraying both a humanistic perspective and a heroic spirit. The sets are carefully prepared, and the actors deliver heartfelt, emotional performances. The ensemble cast is highly commendable, though one cameo feels somewhat out of tune and slightly disrupts the film's emotional flow. At times, the film also feels slightly stage-like, with certain repeated scenes of the Republic of Vietnam meetings becoming somewhat tedious. Still, it is a powerful and moving film overall - definitely worth watching. The good news is that the movie comes with English subtitles, making it accessible to international viewers.
