"Guided" Vietnam war short film

Festival accepted short film about a wounded soldier in the central highlands of Vietnam fighting to survive.

[@maxandtyler123]

this touched me on how a soldier gets wounded and a other soldier helps

[@CJGamer01]

I'm not gonna ask for the gear or the weapons or the actors. just the fact of this is real and true and there is a feeling i get from this that almost calms me to see such a real representation of war. Thank you ridersupproductions.

[@ryancurtin8238]

That was seriously the best short film I have ever seen.... No joke I loved it...

[@maxwellknowles]

The guy who carried him at the end is my baseball coach

[@_Dogberry_]

The weapon of the guy who picks up the wounded guy was a M16a2 or later. If its was a M16 or a M16A1 it would have a shorter magazine, and a triangular barrel. unlike the M16A2 which has a circle.

[@jboyd8685]

they had circle grips butt they were not fully developed same with the 30 rd mag

[@certifiedhistorynerd]

This is a really great short film! I loved it!

[@rawdice44ify]

Yes they had 30 round magazine, werent issued until late 1969 and early 1970....and yes they had woodland ERDL bdu wich was called leaf pattern wich was only issued to special operation unit....and sense the guy in the movie is a sniper he qualifies to wear the woodland ERDL bdu.

[@jab122429]

[@harrysolum2264]

Agreed

[@BDLFilms1]

Amazing!!! 5 stars!!!

[@HalfPinoyPride]

thanks for clearing things up. what is chaffing exactly?

[@0Zolrender0]

very well done. i liked the twist at the end

[@charlesneely]

THE STUDIO NEED TO CALL YOU!!!! I SUB U, AND RATED U GOOD JOB!

[@Cankuwicasa]

The terrain looks suspiciously like California.

[@jamesposton9149]

That's what I thought too, I think it may be Hunter Liggit or Camp Roberts, I trained with my reserve unit at Roberts, plus some of the guys from the motor pool at Fort Ord trained there too when I was active duty

[@a420man2]

Can't be. Not on fire.

[@EhKOfilms]

really good final actor

[@Hadduck]

oh man, that was great

[@WW2Paratrooper506]

The best man!

[@GammaCup]

fantastically done :)

[@afghosting8772]

great stuff!!

[@eisenkreuzmusik]

wow, pretty good, I'm impressed

[@Tiger01]

[@Hacker171819]

this should be in a movie

[@EpulNorhan]

where the shoots take place?

[@tuanlong9238]

the landscape doesn't look like Vietnam much

[@neo001x]

where is he ?

[@jeffreysization]

amazing

[@Gezajozsi]

really great :)

[@peterhewel8984]

I am pretty sure the only ones issued break barrel air rifles with scopes in VietNam were ARVN...

[@edcain3676]

Was 3rd Brig.25 th. Div. 66-67,In Central Highlands & I Too,Only Saw ARVN Translaters,That Were W/ Us Sometimes That Had Carbines..Understand Some Early Marines & Very Early 1st Cav.Had Some of the Carbines In 65-66,But Can't Say I Saw Any W/ Sniper Scopes.

[@StudlyStudmuffin]

VERY NICE perception. I didn't make that connection. Very insightful of you.

[@DaRealPrinceofPinoys]

whats the music in the credits

[@commander554]

...God Bless...

[@analiszoran5228]

i am enjoy this movie okey...

[@HalfPinoyPride]

That was amazing, but how come the dude in the end looked like he was wearing a green bath towel?

[@montanax2172]

He kinda was, they were issued OD Green towels to keep the sweat from getting them soaked, and also for general uses.

[@georgeivey1234]

@@montanax2172 I had to wear mine in training as I am left handed.. The M-16 ejects rounds from the right side. The towel made sure no rounds went down my shirt.. Goof balls on the range are dangerous enough with out one dancing around trying to get a super hot casing off them with a loaded M16 in one hand.. Iike MontanaX2 said In country they were used to soak up sweat as well as be a barrier from the shirt rubbing on your neck. Lots of other uses depending on where you were posted and what you were doing..

[@kattat45]

accept for the historical errors I like it, especially the clever plot mixed with the tittle name.

[@DerpCommand]

kattat45 look up the 3rd man factor. Many American Service Members reported that after their unit was wiped out, they were rescued by man/men with WWII gear. Believed to be fallen soldiers.

[@degiojuancarlosdellavega4922]

It's called the third man factor. It is true and there a re several accounts that are reordered and reported as true. There was a report of a soldier in Vietnam who report that after his unit was wiped out and he was laying on the ground dying he was picked up by a soldier dressed in WW2 full combat gear and carried out to safety. The army troopers father was an infantry soldier who was killed in WW2. In full combat gear. Third man factor, look it up.

[@TheAlbinoSquad]

was this shot on real film?

[@nostalgism813]

that was pretty great lol. i'm into film myself

[@StudlyStudmuffin]

No, hence the reason the actor approached the tree with his arms out as if he was holding onto a buddy.

[@schoolboy50cal]

How'd u get in tree

[@crazyman1229]

Hey can you explain the movie to me? Thanks Im really interested lol

[@rachidyacef1765]

this poor soldier his guided by a ghost

[@SirAceMcFly]

@DuckzOnQuack The Clues is. the wounded thinke he has get helped by a second soldier, But he march alone forward. Good Film! Nice Work!

[@danielbengan3494]

he was really guided..

[@waddupnoob]

was this shot on film?

[@mactuna]

Didn't see that's coming.

[@ArrKayCee]

that was amazing but i dont get what happened to the other guy

[@LollipopPrincess45]

I dont understand..?

[@charlesneely]

THE STUDIO NEED TO CALL YOU!!!!

[@EduardoLoures]

Where can I find this movie in full

[@tuanlong9238]

it's is full movie, a short film

[@MetalMilitiaMan87]

I thought it was an angel, but it could be several things

[@exordiumproductions2804]

ok, so tell me every gear you used to make this. is this made with professional camera? How much was the budget? Color corrected how? And every other details, tnx in advance.

[@a420man2]

Like, wtf is my unit? Where'd they go? Where?

[@minhnguyen5861]

My yellow flowers welcome with you anytime....

[@GamePhysics]

Crawling on two gunwounds...seems legit

[@dabikasis]

@waddupnoob Yes it was

[@XxCouttsxX]

so thats what the "GUIDED" is for... huh. 10 times better than the movie i made.

[@bumkinspalace196]

The thumbnail looked like John berthan

[@Butz455]

Want a return fire here sir!

[@6p9d9x]

it actually could be EDRL so its possibly accurate

[@kenstrowbridge4713]

that is 7 min. and 57 sec. i'll never get back!

[@swagsterTacocat]

heard that bone crack in the begining

[@untitleddddddd1]

I thought the wound was real first

[@StudlyStudmuffin]

You'd be surprised.

[@nicholasghostpachis2302]

Great! But it doesnt seems like Vietnam in 1:09 !Any way! It's a great Vid!

[@edcain3676]

Was 25th Div. In Central Highlands in 66-67,Definitely NOT Nam,Earlier Post Was Said Looks Like An Area of Calif.

[@OtherMinecrafter]

Pretty much all his gear is ALICE Lc-1 and Lc-2 gear (1973) not M1956 (1956) 30rd mags are not accurate for 1968 He picks up m16 with no sling but it has a sling a minute later. No water in canteen Woodland BDU's (1981)

[@darthnick96]

+Cap Camouflage Pattern I typical asshole who couldn't make a better movie if his life depended on it.

[@darthnick96]

+Cap Camouflage Pattern I Also, the 30 round magazine as introduced into the army system in 1968.

[@darthnick96]

+Cap Camouflage Pattern I I'll give you the woodland BDU's though. That's a pretty glaring oversight.

[@OtherMinecrafter]

darthnick96 And yes, I can't make a better movie because everybody that would be a movie would look too young. Yes but it rarely saw use and even then was mostly used In the CAR-15 commando by special forces.

[@muchmeme2501]

Cap Camouflage Pattern I they had extended mags in Vietnam

[@Marinesofairsoft1121]

A war movie + Meaning +Vietnam = Angels are Liberating Hell(Vietnam yep theyre the same thing)

[@railltiktok7847]

i am hmong mieu

[@micaelsantos7537]

Thanks for spend 7:57 minutes of my life.

[@Injektor385]

pretty awesome but did he only think that someone helped him at 2:59 to 6:10 because the camery films the way

[@nicholasghostpachis2302]

1:03! Sorry!

[@grantkibel4421]

What the hell happened to the first guy helping him ?

[@xxairbornexx4499]

he was like a ghost he just help him up.

[@apofotiaaposidero469]

Grant Kibel Let’s ask the director cause I have the same dum guestion!

[@EVH-]

Nyeritain apa ni film?

[@AmazingTangy]

That's awesome! Funny thing is I'm in vietnam gear watching this (I'm getting an airsoft loadout together)

[@lurking0death]

Guys walking around Vietnam by themselves? Never happening. And never at sling arms. You carried it in front of you at the ready often with the safety off and the selector switch on full rock-n-roll (automatic). Clean fatigues with rolled up sleeves? Never happened.

[@walkerpercy8702]

Of course these things happened. Everything happened.

[@apofotiaaposidero469]

Nice try but.....forget about it.Try something else.

[@lurking0death]

Sniper lying in the middle of a field? Get real. They were on some high ground in the tree line covered up. You guys might try using a little commonsense or ask a Vietnam combat vet. This has no plot, not much sense and little authenticity. Other than that it's just wunnerful, wunnerful.

[@loudog5591]

sorry didn't hold me for more than two minutes

[@Airsoftdude00]

You obviously don't know anything about film making or anything about dialogue
