The online community was stirred by the image of two women at the negotiating table in the movie "Red Rain", which immediately reminded everyone of Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh. Facing this question, director Dang Thai Huyen denied it.

In the focus of attention, Colonel - Artist Dang Thai Huyen, the female director assigned to make a large-scale war film - "Red Rain", had emotional sharing about the challenging journey but full of gratitude for the previous generation. Up to now, "Red Rain" has not only set a box office record when the revenue approached the 500 billion VND mark, the work also opened up many heated debates about how to tell, choose art and how to view history through cinema.

Right from the premiere, many viewers questioned the image of women in the film, especially the two female characters appearing at the negotiating table. Some people think that actors Thuy Ha and Yen Nhi are not charismatic enough to portray former Vice President Nguyen Thi Binh.

In front of this flow of public opinion, director Dang Thai Huyen affirmed: "There is no character in Red Rain, Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh. The two female characters in the film are only inspired by her image – a diplomat with special bravery and temperament, in my opinion 'unique'. No film can fully recreate her in cinema."

According to the female director, the characters only need to convey some of the spirit and spirit that is a success. The admiration for Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh is the starting point to build the image of the character in the film. However, the work is not intended to portray a prototype as many people imagine.

The special feature that Dang Thai Huyen likes in the script of writer Chu Lai is the humanity throughout. In war, the boundary between winning - losing, life - death is always clear, but human nature is still there, even on two fronts.

A typical scene she mentioned was a duel, where the last two soldiers let go of their guns, facing each other before lying down in the pouring rain. " For me, that rain is a purification and cleansing for the tragedy of war. After the rain, it was bright again, which is also the message I want to send," the female director said.

Many details in "Red Rain" became the topic of discussion of the audience, from the heroine wearing a pink shirt when driving a boat carrying troops across the river, to the dramatic duel of the character Quang (a Conservatory of Music student) with the soldiers of the Republic of Vietnam.

To this question, director Dang Thai Huyen shared: "Cinema cannot bring the slimy and deadly elements like in the novel to the screen. The film is only wrapped up in 2 hours, so the crew had to calculate to be fierce enough, but not overload and obsess the audience."

According to her, every detail has an artistic meaning, for the audience to feel and contemplate for themselves. The film does not aim to reproduce the entire fierce reality of the Battle of the Ancient Citadel, but only chooses a "slice" to provoke. For the crew of "Red Rain", the journey of making the film is not only a professional challenge, but also a sacred responsibility in paying tribute to the generations who have fallen for peace today.
