Thoughts on "The Brotherhood"

Band of Brothers. This TV series tells the story of the American 101st Airborne Division E Company fighting bloody battles on the European battlefields of World War II, and it is also based on real people and real events. This TV series aired in 2001. There is a plot in the TV series that left a deep impression on me: an American soldier met a German prisoner of war on the battlefield, and after a conversation, they found that they grew up in the same city. The American soldier asked him, why did you join the German army? He said, because I am a German. Their conversation reminds me that this is indeed the case in real life. Although many people live in foreign countries, they always have to find their roots... This means that blood relationship is the intimacy between people. The bond, isn't it?

Band of Brothers quotes

  • Sgt. Alton More: I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.

    Ronald Spiers: So, you looked at 'em, but you didn't take 'em?

    Sgt. Alton More: That's right, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: I don't believe you! I'll be watching you. You're dismissed.

    [as Moore leaves, smirking]

    Ronald Spiers: You'd better not be lying to me.

  • Ronald Spiers: What?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Sir, if it's not going to put you in too much of a bind, I'd like to resign as company First Sergeant. If I had my choice, I miss being back amongst the men. I'd be happy to go to as Staff Sergeant, whichever platoon you want to put me in.

    Ronald Spiers: Well, I guess you've earned your right to demote yourself.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Thank you, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: You wanna take over Sergeant Grant's platoon?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: That would do fine, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: Alright then, report to Lieutenant Peacock. Let me know if he gives you any trouble.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Oh, sir? You make your decision yet?

    Ronald Spiers: Yeah, I did.
