Love - Band Of Brothers

I’m a huge war movie fan! I find wars and the ways in which wars were fought very interesting. The war I read and watch most is World War II (probably the most famous war in the history of the world).

I recently watched an older HBO series entitled “Band Of Brothers” presented by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

This series follows a single company’s movements and progression through out the war. It starts in the early years of the 1940’s in a USA training camp for Easy Company. As the series and episodes progress you see the emotions of the soldiers and the attitudes they hold towards the war. In addition, you see the successes and failures of the company that ultimately lead to the victory of the Allied Forces in the mid 1940’s.

“Band of Brothers” is an incredible show! By following the individuals through a single company in the war this show presents a personal connection to the members of Easy Company. This highlights one of the main points in the story – that when people regard the war we hear staggering figures about the causalities and the number of people who died but the only name most people know is Hitler’s. “Band of Brothers” does a fantastic job of bringing to life the members and individuals within Easy Company. By creating this personal connection to the members of the company it brings to life the real tragedy of losing lives in the war.

Although this series is incredibly powerful and moving it is not for the faint of hearts. Band of Brothers can be incredibly graphic and violent; so be prepared to see soldiers with lost limbs and the horror of a life in combat. If you believe you can bare through these elements of the series please watch it! It’s moving and a story I won’t soon forget!

They depended on each other and the world depended on them.

Love, Peace & Purchase,
