The topic of soldiers is no longer strange to all audiences. In any period, soldiers always carry in their hearts great sacrifices. This sacrifice includes many factors, all of which are aimed at the goal of firmly protecting the Vietnamese Fatherland and peace for the people.
Captain Ha Xuan Truong - director of the film "Because they are soldiers" - shared: "To ensure authenticity, during the process of writing the script, I always stick to the characters to write correctly and effectively. The film's character system stretches from North to South, from the mountains to the islands, so building a filming plan is difficult.
In particular, there are characters who have been on duty at sea for many months in a row, so the film crew had to postpone filming. There are also training contents related to the characters that have to wait for arrangements to match the unit's training work. Therefore, the pre-production filming plan must also be organized to be convenient and harmonious during the film production process."
The title of the film “Because They Are Soldiers” is highly universal, about the qualities of soldiers from the past to the present. Although only pointing out a few representative characters to build a portrait of the image of soldiers, when the film is completed, anyone who watches it can see their own image in it.
The most special point of the movie "Because They Are Soldiers" when placed next to other movies about soldiers is: the system of characters in the movie is diverse, each character represents a mission they work on in the Army as well as the process of striving and growing up.
In the film, the characters' confidences and sharing are interwoven with interviews and commentary. The ultimate goal is to bring a film that focuses on simplicity and the reality of soldiers in peacetime, helping the audience understand and have an objective view.
“I am also a soldier, making a film to record the images of my comrades and teammates is also a great honor for me. The mission of a soldier comes from the heart, a soldier loves the Fatherland, is closely attached to the people, every task is carried out towards a noble and sacred thing: firmly protecting the Fatherland of Vietnam, maintaining peace for the people” - director, Captain Ha Xuan Truong shared.
