Synopsis

Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as their journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men from paratrooper training in Georgia through the end of the war. As an elite rifle company parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day morning, participants in the Battle of the Bulge, and witness to the horrors of war, the men of Easy knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear - and became the stuff of legend. Based on Stephen E. Ambrose's acclaimed book of the same name.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
merelyaninnuendo Band Of Brothers4 Out Of 5Band Of Brothers is a character driven mini-series that is at best, precisely and probably an almost documentary but with a taste of theatrical that might easily leaves the viewers' pallet shook. First and foremost the credit does and should go to the research team that offers an unforgettable experience to the viewers of the field work on an ongoing battle; you are more exhausted than the characters. Despite of having such a wider range and scale the makers wisely makes a choice on narrowing down the priorities to the theme of "nature" where each part of it (there are 10 chapters), plays and projects a vital side of it. The adaptation of Ambrose's novel is smart, exquisite and brimming with writhing emotions where the rest of the work is left up to execution which is undeniably excellent; the quality surpasses one's usual feature. The series is also emotionally fueled where the manipulated audience finds itself on the melted side of the aisle with a cathartic energy that pumps up the heartbeat. If the camera work is beautiful with some appealing live locations then it also has some brutal and inedible sequences where the art designers have done a tremendous work. It is rich on technical aspects like metaphorical cinematography, stunning and cringe-worthy visuals, sharp sound effects, behemoth production designs, accurate costume designs and again the choreography of each battle sequences; all blends in and rains on the audience leaving them breathless. The cast too have invested all their chips in which pays well, especially Lewis and Levingston. The chemistry among the characters, makers' non-biased world and the awareness of each and every details are the high points of this mini-series. Band Of Brothers is a brief anthology of the horrendous symphony that nature is along with the repercussions that it ought not but inevitably breeds.
bgar-80932 The show set out what it meant to do I believe which is show what one particular actual company had to endure during WW2. It showed all the things they went through. The waiting times, the bad officers, the grunts perspective as well as good men rising through the ranks. What I thought it best illustrated is how pointless and miserable it was to be a grunt. You just do whatever you are told and try not to die even when half the time your mission is completely pointless. The one area that didn't land to me was the attachment to the characters. I really only ever liked the two men who worked together at the end after the war, the red head officer and the dude who was in office space. Other than that the characters were too in and out due to injury, death, or just non-focus on the character to truly make me care for them. I cared for them because it was a true story but not because what was on the screen. The last few episodes had emotional moments that did land when they liberated a concentration camp and when the actual men talked about the men who passed in the war and didn't get to have after war lives. They told what some of the men did or were doing after the war and just trying to get through life and then some of them talked about their friends they lost. Seeing some of these men break down or get close legitimately made me cry and feel bad for not loving the show. I almost just wanted to watch a documentary of them telling their stories telling the good, the bad, and the ugly of the war rather than watch this show but I'm sure that would be way too hard for them. True heroes.
norwoodsteph This shows cast is spot on.very accurate in the history.very entertaining.uplifting definitely recommend it
crossfiregr1 I could write so much about this masterpiece but i'll stick to the basics. This is the pest movie/series i have ever seen about WW2. It feels so real that you think that you are there, fighting with the company. Acting is amazing and so is the screenplay. The series soundtrack is a masterpiece on its own but also blend perfectly with the atmosphere. This is a must for everyone even if you are not a fan of war movies.
