Animated short film about soldiers in Afghanistan | "R.A.S" - by Lucas Durkheim

[@mechguyver7694]

The final scene, where there are four guys sitting in the same way they were when they were in the field...and the empty space in the middle, where their buddy should be...hits you in the gut like a sledgehammer.

[@CountCalcium]

took me a second to realise. And also the detail of the one guy who doesn’t respond and is just staring at the empty spot.

My thought exactly 😂

[@Bruh-d]

You can see at the end how the Sniper was absentmindedly looking at where Ju would be, clearly affected by how he saw Ju died, You can also see how the Spotter/Black 40 is sitting somewhat depressed, if I had to guess it's because he was on watch for that sector and he didn't see the enemy before they shot and killed Ju, so he feels that he let everyone down and that it was his fault in some way that Ju died. The '240 Gunner can be seen wide awake compared to how before he was always tired and would always sleep even if he was supposed to do his share of helping Black 40 Cover the Sector where the enemy attacked from. He probably has some guilt or worry from falling asleep and now he finds it hard to fall asleep since he thinks he might loose another friend. Even though he's safe in the middle of FOB. Although the Main Character seems very unaffected by Ju's death. You can feel and resonate with the characters here, they are well done and expressive in the right ways.

@@HughTrudden The Sniper had to watch Ju's Eye Socket get blown out since he was looking at Ju when Ju got shot, and he was the closest. If I saw one of my closest friends get their head blown open in-front of me, I'd be a bit shaken up to say the least. But I digress, I never said the Sniper was at fault. I dunno if Ju or Mr. Smokes was supposed to watch the Direction that the enemy sniper fired from, but Black 40 the Radio Operator was the only one on watch that was near that angle when the shot was fired. Which you can view as him being responsible for the Sniper being able to shoot Ju without being spotted, or you can point out how Ju wasn't taking cover and was silhouetting himself, or wasn't paying attention and was not watching the horizon. Same could be said for the Guy who was smoking. Makes jokes and asking questions instead of being on look-out.

[@BamboozledApplicant3]

Its like melancholy and imposter syndrome combined and that's the feeling. When they're gone, your optimistic side says "I'm glad their suffering is over, and that I am alive," but the other part of you believes that feeling sad because you didn't die, is the wrong emotional response. Sometimes I wonder what my friends would've done/been in life. One died so soon in his life I felt compelled to live through some of the things he would've liked to do if he had gotten the chance. I still visit him(his grave) from time-to-time and it never gets easy...but I hope he's proud of me...because I hate this military shit lol.

I like how even though the rifleman was casually smoking packs of cigs and the machine gunner was just sleeping, making both seem either very mellow or unassuming for a majority of film. That is until the instant they heard "Contact!" they both snapped back into what they were trained to do as infantrymen and started laying down effective fire at wherever their target was located alongside the marksmen while the radio operator called in for more allies. It really was effective at showing how soldiers act in a scenario like this realistically as most of the time in war is spent 90% of the time shooting the shit with your buddies while also hurrying up and waiting around for something to pop off. But then the other 10% is when shit actually pops off. All in all this was a great short film.

If you ever feel useless, remember that after 20 years, 3 trillion dollars, 4 US presidents, USA managed to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

[@armorpro573]

Similar thing happened to us in Vietnam.

J’aime l’histoire de nos troupes en Afghanistan…et c’est déchirant 💔

[@DimaVais811]

Автор явно старался над анимацией, мое почтение

[@ombrepourpre7562]

C'est exactement ce que me disais mon grand oncle. 90% d'ennui avec rien à faire, et l'épuisement et l'inattention qui se glisse doucement... Puis 10% de bruit assourdissant, de terreur pure, de fureur frénétique et de sang. Très juste. Très brute. Et très beau boulot d'animation ❤

[@Sweet0nion]

The fact that they were literally just firing in random directions shows how they genuinely did not know where that sniper shot came from.

[@ondram0542]

Aaaaaand this just solidified why im not going into the military

[@TheeFoz]

At 2:59 the gun can be heard before the bullet hits, meaning they are closer than they think. Either they were meant to do this or they missed something. otherwise this is a great short film.

[@Flyingtart]

They missed something. The taliban don't use subsonic ammunition, so the bullet always hits before the sound of the gun.

[@shishenliart]

The sound effects are so good. The whiz of the sniper shot and the bullet crack of machine gun fire echoing in the distance. Ridiculously accurate.

[@thegoldencpu5870]

It's an amazing film, and is a very strong lesson about complacency in a combat theater. While people are people, and need to relax every once in a while, a combat zone is no place to do so. You can be assaulted from ANY location, at ANY distance, at ANY time and the attitude earlier at 1:01 is just begging your adversary to ambush you, seen later in the film. Situational awareness saves lives, and while it's not possible to do it 100% of the time, you better damn try as more lives than yours may depend on your quick thinking and eagle eyes.

[@jimhu4160]

So good! I wish I could share this to some of my friends who don't know French and English. Let me know if you need Chinese Traditional translation for this one, I can do it for free.

[@lamzo3399]

Le titre nom du film ces quoi

@@lamzo3399 I don't get to edit it, I suppose only uploader can do that

[@zoeswagten4632]

Incroyable purée l’animation est dingue bravo, on se croirait même pas dans un film tellement que ça fait réel, c’est hyper bien retranscrit en tout cas

[@tsaroftheunion]

Even in the most subtle moments, war spares nobody.

[@rakeril7866]

As one who has lost his fellow soldiers.... I can relate.

[@justin-hurd]

this uncomfortably real. good job making this, thats well made.

[@TOM-ph7xy]

this demonstrates what happens when you don't understand the meaning of your mission. It will get you lazy and you are catched into your daily shitty routine while a sneaky enemy makes use out of it. giving away your position like the photograph man just tells "please kill me" nice film. great work. i like it

[@mrlazycrazy]

I would watch a few series about this squad, the hardships and losses they go through

[@Larssouillle]

Sorti de nulle par le mec il pose cette animation sur la table,un vrai chef-d’œuvre

[@KaneufaRichardSylva]

Tu régale gros big taff réspect srx 🤝🏾🚀

Everything is insanely good. The art style is pure nostalgia. Should be shown in schools

[@eman6940]

Thank you to the brave men and women for their honorable service🙏✝️

[@paulmathy9292]

Wow vraiment incroyable cette animation, pourquoi c'est pas plus connu ?

[@Harry-l2w7o]

"Wow...... This video is so strong. And it's sad and shocking how the death of one's life is becoming norn in the places like in battlefields......."

[@danielnicholson25]

art that mimics life is way better than life that mimics art...

[@mundane.]

The timing of the headshot with the important piece of dialogue… really caught me off guard. Great short!

[@ltandrewdixon3900]

It said knowing how that is accurate we sent so many young men and women over the fight God bless them

[@harrysantiago5228]

Feels like I watched an episode of love death and robots, done very well!

[@TheKillacee]

Very well made. The timing is brilliant

[@alexlamp7694]

That's what you'll get when engaging in someone else's war. Only tragic and despair.

[@trickorsneak1223]

The true shock and aftershock effect that they get from that one bullet is crazy, they call in air support and start shooting wildly to no avail. Once they get back to their base, they just sit there still shocked.

[@justanotheryoutubedoofus]

I had a feeling that shot was coming but god damn that caught me off guard

[@Navinor]

I think this is one of the most realistic videos about war. War is often 80% boredom and 20% fighting for your life. Not a good combination for every human being.Because the 80% boredom can lead to your death in the 20%. And even when you prepare perfectly. You or your friend still can die in the 20%. (Or you are fighting in a war like the ukraine. Where your fighting time will be like 80%. And the chance to die is like 120%)

[@lagrenade3466]

Incroyable cour métrage , sympathique à regarder 👏👏

[@waffleeater223]

2:52 bros just sitting there like "bruh"

[@baselessfuckshit7057]

Same thought here. Sat there staring with that "Bitch? 🤨" face Perfectly emphasises just how much being around the same people for months at a time can make you hate your entire existence lol

[@thercf16guy35]

I knew this was an awesome animation when I jumped from the sniper shot. Completely unexpected, just like it was supposed to be. Well done

[@palocax]

The most realistic death in a movie or short film I have seen yet.

[@mr.shepherd_1776]

Excellent there should be more animated war films

[@thibault5790]

Quel excellent travail. 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 On en veux +++ et des faits réels, Dieu sais qu'il y en a d'autre a raconter.

[@EbonyVengeance]

@1:50 I knew homie was gonna do something after his battle said he sleeps too much😂😂

[@blizzchill1183]

Ngl this style kinda reminds me of Love, Death, and Robots. Very well done with everything including the realism

[@tonybalch5017]

Brilliantly done. Captured everything perfectly

Génial, super animation vraiment super bien fait et autant on en voudrait encore plus, autant le format est parfait dans tous les cas c est excellent. Merci entoucas c'était tellement tellement ça😂. Bon on parlait pas forcément tous tous comme ça..quoique a force de s'em..er ensemble, si en fait 😂.
