The story line actually makes a lot of sense: When the Vietnamese buried their soldiers in those tunnels there was a high chance of them getting monoxide poisoning coupled with the sounds of Ghost tape 10 that made them hallucinate even more until the point where many had either a heart attack or mentally scarred for life.
True, but at the same time, this takes place 3 years before operation wandering soul. But this minor inaccuracies dwarves compared to the spoopy factor.
Imagine when u are The U.S soldier that bring The speaker and playing the wandering soul in the middle of the night then realizing that The speaker were out of battery 30minutes ago
its normal to see a halucination at their condition. if u dont sleep properly like 3 days u ll start halucinate eventually. sound makes it easy because of their beliefs.
As a Vietnamese, I can relate to this. When we were little, our elders would tell us ghost stories and all the scary things. It's in our culture and even now, I sleep with my lights on when i'm alone..... unless I'm with a woman, then all lights are off.... LOL!
@Joe Mama My brother in law had the same experience. He told me when he came to the US, he was sleeping at his sponsor's house when someone woke him up. When he opened his eyes, it was his father looking at him. I guess he got startled and yelled, so his dad faded through the wall. When he called his family back in Vietnam, they told him that his father just passed. Weird but I have heard many stories like that!

KuraD Kuruta we were supportive of the Viet Cong during the French Indochina war, even secretly sending US forces to train the revolutionaries. We wanted frances diplomatic support more than we needed to support the Viet Cong because of our moral values of supporting the revolutions, though, so we were dragged into the Vietnam conflict and were dug in furthermore during the mcarthy era just because they were communist. And we weren’t invading, we were defending the south Vietnamese government at their behest with the support of the ARVN. The Viet Cong were unjustified in their use of torture and traps (ie punji sticks, trap doors, etc). >but muh us army war crimes too!!!! Yeah, well there was so much animosity between us forces and the Vietnamese people in war-ridden areas because of their cooperation to house and support the Viet Cong. We never asked for them to hide among civilians, nor did we ever want them to. I’m not defending war crimes, I’m just saying they didn’t happen for no reason.
This is the best Vietnam-themed movie on UA-cam. Everything is perfect from the setting, the lighting, the scary scares and especially the actors' acting. We are a filmmaking group in Vietnam. Your works really make us admire and try to learn. Great.
Other than the size of the tunnel, this capture perfectly the claustrophobic vibe of Cu Chi Tunnels. The tunnels became a tourist attraction after the war, they widen it so the Western tourists can fit through them, added air veins and lights along the tunnel lines. Even though, your leg will ach like hell after just one short tour of crouching. The tunnels used to be much, much smaller, may be around 1/5, 1/6 or even smaller of that in this film, without air support and completely unlit. Sometimes, even the usually small-framed Vietnamese guerilla troops got stuck and die by suffocating. Imagine slowly dying deep in the dirt, stucked from head to toe, all alone. And thousands of people were born under these tunnels (there were big underground rooms, linked by these tunnels) and called it home. We Vietnamese don't call Cu Chi "Steel Soil" for nothing.

Crazy thing is this is what US soldiers did . they made them think it was spirits and played this through speakers since they thougt that it was real spirits.
Out of desperation comes invention. The US forces were having such a difficult time uprooting NVA and Vietcong forces that they decided that they needed to re-evaluate their idea on how to fight a war. That third dimension was always something American forces were lacking, but they caught their stride with this sort of thing.
My father and mother fought the Americans from 1965 to 1975 in the forests of Central Vietnam, and the American psychological warfare was like a farce, because the military discipline of the ARVN was effective. more than a thousand times. After that, every time they mentioned it, they just laughed
I’ve been inside one of those Cu Chi tunnels. It was dark and I felt so claustrophobic. Even though I’ve visited the place at daytime it was still quite scary. It was much smaller and narrower than it looks in this film. Terrible to think how horrified the soldiers must have felt, being Vietnamese
Vietnamese military retaliated using similar tech and the speakers goes : " no health care, no pension funds, homeless soldiers, inflation, high medical bills, no weed."
@TheChiller007 That's the idea though, as shown in the movie. They don't have to surrender or get scared, you just have to piss them off to the point where they come at you with a bloody rage. It was effective for a while, but like you said they would make easy targets, thus (in theory) letting you fire on their now revealed position.
This is heart-breaking. 💔 Having visited the War Musuem and the Cu Chi Tunnels early this year, this brought back the pain I felt when I learned about what truly transpired during this war. I initially knew about the war through war films and books, but I didn't know and understand the gravity of this event until I visited those places. I never knew about the Wandering Souls until I watched a video about terrifying sounds from the VN war and this video. This tactic was just too cruel, too inhuman. And all for the sake of hunting down and killing the people defending their own land. I pray for the souls of those whose lives were taken during this meaningless war, and I hope that the world will never experience such cruelty again.
Im a Viet and this movie is quite spooky and entertaining , but there is something , a tiny bit of background to Asian culture ghost and more specificly , Vietnamese ghost, here in Vietnam, we have a belief, if you didnt kill or somewhat cause the man's death, his ghost wont haunt you, i got a story here, quite famous in Vietnam, whether you choose to believe it or not, it depicts what we think of ghost here in Nam,there was a team of students who went to the northern moutains of vietnam,. near the border with china for some project, when they rest at a place which was a battlefield in 1979 between the chinese and vietnam, and everyone was having lunch when suddenly a girl in the team ask for a cigarette with a low tone voice like a man, but the thing is, she never smoke before, but they gave her anyway, then she speak of herself as a dead vietnamese soldier, a recon , (from now on i use he) he said he was scouting a artillery position when discovered and fired upon, badly wounded he was but he tried to crawl back to vietnam territory, then died there, everyone ask if he can show them when he lies so that they can bring him home, he said no use, his body has decompose beyond recognition, then everyone ask his name and where he from and if he want a small shrine in his name there, and he said : thats fine by me, i get a place to rest and i can also guard our border once more well, thats it, i am not saying this movie is in accurate, im not the type of person who hunts inacurracies in movies, this movie did its job, spooky and entertaining
Well more like messing with the dead over all. This operation was hella weird man and did take a toll on both american and vietnamese. Because some of the americans were avrn and had the same beliefs as the vc
Rarely does anybody who says "You're playing with fire" mean it literally. It's always taken in the context of the situation. The translation here is accurate. He is literally saying "You're playing with fire" and we all know he really means that you're messing with things you have no business in.
@Heiu in Vietnam they had diffrent view of communism like China (heck even they both on communist team they still hate each other) for Vietnam communism means freedom from colonial power its kind of like US but with the ideolgy of democracy instead of communism
@@eastongentry6764 Nice nitpicking right there. The US empire had no right to invade a sovereign people that wanted to get rid of their corrupt government. The US empire had no right to support that corrupt government and committing hundreds, if not thousands, of different war crimes from mistreatment of POWs to using chemical weapons on civillians. Your crimes cannot be compared to the "cruel" tactics a bunch of random independent guerillas did in the war. They defended their home from the invader. They will do so again, if necessary.
There’s a difference between what you’ve been told and what happened, I’m all for rebelling against authority and I hate the federal government. On the other hand there’s pol-pot. So uh. Yeah they defended their country by mass genocide? Because that’s totally how that works.
Honestly, staying in that burial cave for a while to bury the dead, you’d probably run low on oxygen eventually, then combine that with the Wandering Soul audio, no wonder he went delirious and saw all of that.
Pixelchu but Punjii sticks weren’t? Man everything both sides did was dirty. Vietnamese were fighting for what they believed in and their homes. The American soldiers had no desire to be there but wanted to get home alive and as quick as possible
I always love learning about history. This is so horrific I wish I could unsee it. The incredibly inhuman acts of wartime are gruesome and gut wrenching. Shameful.
Napalm was horrific, Vietnamese soldiers would cut it out of their skin with a knife to stop the burning. Even that didn’t really help, those yanks gave them hell.
If anyone is curious to hear the real recordings of operation wandering soul, there is a video up on youtube, unfortunately as far as I know, it's the only "ghost tape" released. Enjoy~
The person in the ghost tape was talking to his daughter since shes dead and he’s with her now and the main part of his speaking is saying something about how the Vietnamese comrades should retreat bc they can’t win and saying the lines of the pain it hurts
Why haven't anyone make a game with this yet!? Like its sounds like a great idea. You play as a Viet Cong soldier and suddenly you heard this and you started hallucinating. And when you die you see its just the US soldiers playing the tape
@@theemperorofmankind8082 That would be an mind boggling plot twist for those who have never heard of operation of Wandering Soul and I've never heard of any game where the horror is simply an illusion.

True, but then again can you imagine what it felt like for the Vietnamese soldiers? They believed in this stuff. The American could keep looking at the radio and realise it was just a tape.

@@muneraalateeqi7919 Yikes. You sound like those bitter Americans, that got shookt by a bitter meme, that also can't shake off that bitter part of your war history. Good luck with that.
But come on guys. It was revealed that it had been caused by something very real and not at all scary. Had it been otherwise, had they continued till the end with the initial theme, now that would have been worse. Though I gotta admit that crawling in those claustrophobic tunnels is a terrifying experience enough in itself.
Due to your video that i know that american soldiers used to use some kind of very unique strategy like this to chase and lure our VNese soldiers, the video is amazing and beautiful ! Thanks alot ! Love your channel !!!
I agree, I feel like people don't realize how bad this war was for them as well. They just see them as bad guys and only feel for those on our side. It's sad if you think about it
@Leo Walzim I'd disagree, US war crimes during the Indian Wars and in Vietnam such as My Lai massacre are in US History books in school. You have the freedom to learn about the mistakes and tragedies that America has done in the US, unlike other countries which try and white wash everything.
@Chí Phèo nguyễnI go to school in the US and I can personally guarantee that they are in US history books. Obviously there's gonna be people that don't know about it because they're not interested in history (like many people in the world) and also the majority of US history doesn't revolve around Vietnam because its a small part of it in comparison with the rest of the things that's happened, while you as a Vietnamese person would of course know about it. Let me ask you this, do you learn about the massacres done by the North Vietnamese during the occupation of Hue City?

I can’t imagine out scary it would be to be in a dark forest fighting against an enemy you can’t see and hearing this. I’m glad my grandparents didn’t have to go through this
Have to say the acting is top class. The emotion and the tension really has you engrossed in the film. It didn’t hit me until after watching that Dao never got to properly mourn/pray for Quan. One of the US troops picks up on this too and wants his sergeant to let him finish. Taking the Vietnamese beliefs into account, Quan didn’t get a proper burial, alluding to the idea that he will be a ‘Wandering Soul’. This makes the ending all the more heartbreaking..
He sounds ok to me. He said "Nguyện đem lòng thành kính. Gửi theo đám mây hương. (Unintelligible)...khắp mười phương. Cúng dường ngôi Tam Bảo...." It seems to be a Buddhist chant, using southern dialect. You may not familiar with the accent and vocabulary.
Man, the acting in this one is insane. Props to all the actors

I lived in vietnam, and vietnamese vets tell me, they used to shoot where the sounds come from. Not so effective.
The point was to expose their positions as well.
Maybe its effective a few time. When they figure it out not so much. Vnese anyway
That’s not such a bad idea knowing a sound comes directly from an object or entity or ergo a us soldier with a speaker on his back 🤷🏽♂️
Not surprised I would shoot where those sounds were because I don’t want something that makes that noise coming after me so I would try and kill it
Still it was kidn aeffective if they revealed their position to fire at the speakers.

I’ve been inside one of those Cu Chi tunnels. It was dark and I felt so claustrophobic. Even though I’ve visited the place at daytime it was still quite scary. It was much smaller and narrower than it looks in this film. Terrible to think how horrified the soldiers must have felt, being Vietnamese
US Soldier: It's just a prank bro
The tree that speak vietnamese: yeahhh
Also grass .
Chill bro... it’s just a prank!
US Soldier: *points to camera* Look theres the camera
Dying Vietnamese guy: Oh yeah mb

Vietnamese military retaliated using similar tech and the speakers goes :
" no health care, no pension funds, homeless soldiers, inflation, high medical bills, no weed."

@TheChiller007 That's the idea though, as shown in the movie. They don't have to surrender or get scared, you just have to piss them off to the point where they come at you with a bloody rage.

This is heart-breaking. 💔 Having visited the War Musuem and the Cu Chi Tunnels early this year, this brought back the pain I felt when I learned about what truly transpired during this war. I initially knew about the war through war films and books, but I didn't know and understand the gravity of this event until I visited those places. I never knew about the Wandering Souls until I watched a video about terrifying sounds from the VN war and this video. This tactic was just too cruel, too inhuman. And all for the sake of hunting down and killing the people defending their own land. I pray for the souls of those whose lives were taken during this meaningless war, and I hope that the world will never experience such cruelty again.
But dude every war is meaningless in the first placer
It wasn’t made to kill them. It was made to scare them so they run away
Im a Viet and this movie is quite spooky and entertaining , but there is something , a tiny bit of background to Asian culture ghost and more specificly , Vietnamese ghost, here in Vietnam, we have a belief, if you didnt kill or somewhat cause the man's death, his ghost wont haunt you, i got a story here, quite famous in Vietnam, whether you choose to believe it or not, it depicts what we think of ghost here in Nam,there was a team of students who went to the northern moutains of vietnam,. near the border with china for some project, when they rest at a place which was a battlefield in 1979 between the chinese and vietnam, and everyone was having lunch when suddenly a girl in the team ask for a cigarette with a low tone voice like a man, but the thing is, she never smoke before, but they gave her anyway, then she speak of herself as a dead vietnamese soldier, a recon , (from now on i use he) he said he was scouting a artillery position when discovered and fired upon, badly wounded he was but he tried to crawl back to vietnam territory, then died there, everyone ask if he can show them when he lies so that they can bring him home, he said no use, his body has decompose beyond recognition, then everyone ask his name and where he from and if he want a small shrine in his name there, and he said : thats fine by me, i get a place to rest and i can also guard our border once more
well, thats it, i am not saying this movie is in accurate, im not the type of person who hunts inacurracies in movies, this movie did its job, spooky and entertaining
I'm a Vietnamese. I respect your story cause it's true. Think about when "the man spirit" says he can guard once again. Respectfully !

As indonesian, i can relate. Southeast asia for me has the most terrifying myth and legend, some are true
Dang it! He is truly a warrior. Even when he died.
the actual meaning of the " don't play with fire" actually mean dont mess with the dead! cause im a vietnamese
yeah thats not hard to guess
Many asian country have a culture or respect to the dead people and spirits, so yes. Don't play with fire.
Well more like messing with the dead over all.
This operation was hella weird man and did take a toll on both american and vietnamese. Because some of the americans were avrn and had the same beliefs as the vc
Rarely does anybody who says "You're playing with fire" mean it literally. It's always taken in the context of the situation. The translation here is accurate. He is literally saying "You're playing with fire" and we all know he really means that you're messing with things you have no business in.
But the guy just wanted to respect the dead

Soldier: literally prays for fallen comrade to get to heaven or something idk
ghost of fallen comrade: imma ruin this mans whole career
Fallen comrade would be a real arse. His squadmate was praying for him but could not finish. He should have been appreciative of the effort.
Well if I was a ghost, I would also scare my team and not because I am a d*ck or an as*hole but I want them to survive.
I mean his fallen bro dicking with him and messing with him for fun is ok but haunting him like that is definitely NOT om
@@Briselance That's because the spirit was not his fallen comrade, but an evil spirit!
@Heiu in Vietnam they had diffrent view of communism like China (heck even they both on communist team they still hate each other) for Vietnam communism means freedom from colonial power its kind of like US but with the ideolgy of democracy instead of communism

@@eastongentry6764 not all of them were bad
@@yaya-vz8uu I guess but, that doesn't excuse the fact that they still did horrors such as this.
@@eastongentry6764 Nice nitpicking right there. The US empire had no right to invade a sovereign people that wanted to get rid of their corrupt government. The US empire had no right to support that corrupt government and committing hundreds, if not thousands, of different war crimes from mistreatment of POWs to using chemical weapons on civillians. Your crimes cannot be compared to the "cruel" tactics a bunch of random independent guerillas did in the war. They defended their home from the invader. They will do so again, if necessary.
There’s a difference between what you’ve been told and what happened, I’m all for rebelling against authority and I hate the federal government. On the other hand there’s pol-pot. So uh. Yeah they defended their country by mass genocide? Because that’s totally how that works.
i just listened to the original tapes after this film and no joke it really gave me chills
Can you give link for the original tapes

Honestly, staying in that burial cave for a while to bury the dead, you’d probably run low on oxygen eventually, then combine that with the Wandering Soul audio, no wonder he went delirious and saw all of that.
This strategy is pretty dirty...well the whole war is...

Napalm was horrific, Vietnamese soldiers would cut it out of their skin with a knife to stop the burning. Even that didn’t really help, those yanks gave them hell.

If anyone is curious to hear the real recordings of operation wandering soul, there is a video up on youtube, unfortunately as far as I know, it's the only "ghost tape" released.
Enjoy~
Thanks dude!
@Gonzalo Oropeza no bro, they actually recorded screams of people. At least that's how the official story goes
Please give me the correct link..
If you look up operation wandering souls way more videos come up about it
that's not the only one, there's another tape called 'no doze chieu hoi' or by it's number 1965au2346. it's archived too :)
Fun Fact: The US military actually did this so they can trigger the fight or flee reaction from the Vietnamese.
Fight or flight not flee
"Fight or flee" first time hearing that one😂
Fun Fact: it’s fight or flight not fight or flee.
It literally explains that this was real at the end of the video how is it a fun fact
ZeLeXDaBeast it's fight or flight mate
Lap Phan was dope in this. Genuine emotions from that guy.
even for Vietnamese people, it's hard to hear what they say in this vid...
That's the point, this not what a real vn soldier is like. Sure, it works on a superstitious person, but a normal nva operative would shrug it off
It’s the northern people
công tiến thật chứ chả hiểu mấy ổng nòi j hết
The person in the ghost tape was talking to his daughter since shes dead and he’s with her now and the main part of his speaking is saying something about how the Vietnamese comrades should retreat bc they can’t win and saying the lines of the pain it hurts

This had to be terrifying. War is gruesome.

Funny but a bit dark. Because they had a hard belief in respecting the dead

Bruv it’s even worse for me bc I currently am a tour guide in Vietnam. I crawl through these tunnels for a living..
Wow oof
But come on guys. It was revealed that it had been caused by something very real and not at all scary. Had it been otherwise, had they continued till the end with the initial theme, now that would have been worse. Though I gotta admit that crawling in those claustrophobic tunnels is a terrifying experience enough in itself.

I agree, I feel like people don't realize how bad this war was for them as well. They just see them as bad guys and only feel for those on our side. It's sad if you think about it
@Leo Walzim I'd disagree, US war crimes during the Indian Wars and in Vietnam such as My Lai massacre are in US History books in school. You have the freedom to learn about the mistakes and tragedies that America has done in the US, unlike other countries which try and white wash everything.
@Chí Phèo nguyễnI go to school in the US and I can personally guarantee that they are in US history books. Obviously there's gonna be people that don't know about it because they're not interested in history (like many people in the world) and also the majority of US history doesn't revolve around Vietnam because its a small part of it in comparison with the rest of the things that's happened, while you as a Vietnamese person would of course know about it. Let me ask you this, do you learn about the massacres done by the North Vietnamese during the occupation of Hue City?

I can’t imagine out scary it would be to be in a dark forest fighting against an enemy you can’t see and hearing this. I’m glad my grandparents didn’t have to go through this
Have to say the acting is top class. The emotion and the tension really has you engrossed in the film.
It didn’t hit me until after watching that Dao never got to properly mourn/pray for Quan. One of the US troops picks up on this too and wants his sergeant to let him finish. Taking the Vietnamese beliefs into account, Quan didn’t get a proper burial, alluding to the idea that he will be a ‘Wandering Soul’. This makes the ending all the more heartbreaking..
I'm Vietnamese but I can't even understand the prayer said, his Vietnamese was bad LOL
Comon man, have some respect
He a south Vietnamese so his voice should be different
He sounds ok to me. He said "Nguyện đem lòng thành kính. Gửi theo đám mây hương. (Unintelligible)...khắp mười phương. Cúng dường ngôi Tam Bảo...."
