so i just finished rewatching Band of Brothers that i recorded on HBO over the weekend, and even though i've seen it probably a dozen times over it still never loses it's impact. i find myself so attached to these characters that by the time Points rolls around and you see Winters remembering D-Day and on, all i want to do is start all over again from the beginning. and i have to stress that the scene where Easy Company finds that concentration camp is probably one of the most powerful pieces of film-making ever produced, even having seen it so many times i still have trouble keeping it together watching that part
i only hope that The Pacific is half as good as BoB, because i honestly believe it is one of the most important movies or tv shows ever made. it really should be shown in every high school in North America, especially with how few WWII veterans we have left to share their stories first hand
