The film “Red Rain”, a historical film about the war to protect Quang Tri Citadel, is being produced by the People's Army Cinema, leaving a deep impression not only because of its touching content but also because of the authenticity and meticulousness in setting the scene.
The investment is elaborate
The film “Red Rain” produced by the People’s Army Cinema is a large-scale project, with 85% of the filming time in Quang Tri province. The film crew built studios in locations such as Hai Le commune, An Don ward (Quang Tri town), Trieu Thuong commune (Trieu Phong district) and Ta Con airport (Huong Hoa district).
One of the highlights of the film set is the reconstruction of Quang Tri Ancient Citadel in its original state before the war, then reenacting the destruction by bombs, bringing a haunting image of desolation and ruin.
In addition, the scene of soldiers crossing the Thach Han River, which is up to 160 meters wide, was also realistically performed to ensure its vividness. Other scenes such as the surgical station, the forward command post, and large-scale chaos scenes were also recreated at many locations in the province.

With a crew of 150 people, the film mobilized thousands of extras, including soldiers and local people. The film crew also used many heavy vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles, creating impressive war scenes.
Major Nguyen Quang Quyet, assistant director of “Red Rain,” said that the film crew tried their best to recreate the fierce atmosphere of war and the resilience of people during that period. One of the special settings of the film is the field bunker - a place designed to serve as a first aid area for wounded soldiers.
The bunker was not only a shelter but also had to reflect the hardship, deprivation and brutality of war. The film crew made the most of materials such as wood, stone, mud and even old electrical wires from the war to create a realistic space.
In the filming, the crew tried to realistically simulate the living and fighting conditions of the soldiers. The original beds for wounded and sick soldiers were gradually replaced by stretchers as the number of patients increased. To a certain extent, even doors were used as vehicles for transferring the wounded.
On the table, basic medical tools such as scissors, bandages and even medicine bottles are all realistically recreated. These details show that the film crew put a lot of effort into bringing a sense of life, helping viewers feel like they are lost in the wartime space.
The muddy scenes - an indispensable element of the war - were meticulously recreated. The film crew poured water and mud into the tunnel to highlight the harshness and hardship of the battlefield. The actors had to move in the mud, showing the hardships of the soldiers when facing nature and bombs.
Recreate the fierce atmosphere of war
In addition to building the physical setting, the film crew also paid special attention to conveying the tense and painful atmosphere of war. The sound of falling bombs, ambulance calls, and even the deadly silence between harsh moments were recreated realistically.
Assistant director Nguyen Quang Quyet shared that the film crew’s goal was to make the audience not only see but also feel the fierceness and sacrifice in each scene. This authenticity not only respects history but also conveys the resilient spirit of the previous generation.
The setting in “Red Rain” does not stop at illustrating a historical period, but will touch the hearts of viewers through every detail. Images of makeshift bunkers, simple hospital beds or blood stains remind us of the noble sacrifices and pain of loss in war. The film also cleverly incorporates simple but profound moments, such as images of soldiers chatting and encouraging each other in the bunker or traces of nature imprinted on the battlefield. All create a realistic, vivid and emotional historical picture.
The setting in “Red Rain” is not only the backdrop for the story, but also a special character that contributes to conveying the spirit of the film. Through the talented and dedicated hands of the director, the setting has become a bridge for viewers to better understand the past, feel the sacrifice and indomitable will of our ancestors. “Red Rain” is not only a film, but also a touching journey that brings us back to the heroic history of our nation.
The images from the set are not only a backdrop for the story but also a vivid “witness”, bringing the audience back to the fierce days of war. Small details such as moss on the wall, the light from oil lamps or blood stains all contribute to evoking emotions, making viewers feel both the pain and resilience of the previous generation.
