Recently, representatives from the distributor Galaxy also revealed that the film will feature special actors – former war veterans.

In a scene set in Dr. Le's (Hua Wei Wen) operating room, wounded soldiers lie crammed together, groans echoing throughout the increasingly crowded, suffocating space. On a hospital bed, a soldier whose legs have been completely amputated lies silently; the fleeting glimpse of the brutality of war quickly imprints itself on the audience's minds, leaving them speechless.

Many thought the film crew of "Red Rain" had used makeup or special effects, but the truth was even more shocking to the audience. The soldier lying in the hospital bed was actually a real war veteran from the Quang Tri battlefield years ago.

Many wounded soldiers with various injuries were present on the set of "Red Rain" to help the film crew shoot these heartbreaking and realistic scenes. Returning to the scene from years ago, they once again dedicated themselves to the country, contributing their own disabled bodies to a work that ignites patriotism in future generations.

Director Dang Thai Huyen emotionally shared: “The veteran soldiers always arrived at the film set very early, some even using homemade three-wheeled vehicles. During the filming of 'Red Rain ,' the weather in Quang Tri was bitterly cold, but the veterans didn't mind the difficulties and lay still while we applied makeup in their very thin summer soldier uniforms, and then filmed for quite a long time.”

"In such cold weather, the old wounds must be aching. We truly admire the spirit of the soldiers of Uncle Ho's army, and our hearts are always filled with gratitude to those who were willing to join us in reviving a chapter of our nation's history."

Producer Kieu Thanh Thuy also shared the reason for inviting veterans to participate in the filming: “We believe we must try our best to get the most authentic footage. Therefore, the film crew came up with the bold idea of ​​inviting real war veterans to assist in the filming. And fortunately, they helped us very enthusiastically.”

This wasn't just a chance for the actors to participate in the film; it was also an opportunity for the young cast of "Red Rain" to meet real people, helping them to better understand the characters and ideals of those who defended the ancient citadel back then.

It is known that during the production process, the film crew received close attention and guidance from the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense , the Chief of the General Political Department, the General Staff, and the coordination and support of agencies and units inside and outside the military and Quang Tri province.

Red Rain is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
