Alongside praise, the film "Mua do," about the battle to defend Quang Tri Citadel, has drawn controversy regarding its battle scenes and character development.
The letter written by the character Ta in the film "Mua do" shares striking similarities with a letter penned by martyr Le Van Huynh, who, anticipating his death, instructed his family on how to find his remains.
Before building the "Mua do" film set by the Thach Han river, the crew had to clear mines, as the area still contained many unexploded ordnance from the war.
