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.
koendit Incredible, "real" series of the Americans joining WWII. I in particularly loved the first part, where they are in training. It comes full circle over the course of all the episodes. Brilliant sceneries, and great title song.
jambalulu An amazing depiction of real experiences that happened to some of the men who saved the world from evil. It really shows you first hand what it was like to go through some of the worst stages of the worst war in history. These men and men like them in the Soviet union, Great Britain and all the other allied nations, are the very reason we can all live our lives in freedom and peace. This masterpiece is an honorable salute to their heroism.
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.
