Everyone's review is basically written. I've seen too many people who don't understand the film at all, so I'll explain, hope it helps. First of all, from a historical perspective, the Pacific and Europe are completely two types of wars and cannot be compared. In the European battlefield, on the two fronts of the East and the West, the United States is at best a participant and a thug of the Allied Powers. And what about the Pacific? It is a matter of the United States and Japan. Japan, this senior power, with its powerful military and national characteristics, has been invincible after conquering China. It has really impacted the United States, which has always felt good about itself and has just dreamed of becoming a world-class power. It is also the process of this war. Japan is betting on the madness of its national fortune, and the behavior of the Japanese soldiers has made the United States begin to reflect on the meaning of war and see the root of the horror of war. In essence, there is no winner in the Pacific Ocean. This difference is exactly the film The point to convey! In terms of military strength, the fact is that after the Pearl Harbor incident, the US Pacific Fleet's combat power has dropped sharply, but it has to face the world's most powerful combined fleet at that time. In the short term, naval battles and island land battles can be said to have no chance of winning. , the US Marine Corps can be said to be forced, the mentality and the European battlefield airborne troops are different. It should be mentioned here that Yamashita Fengwen's record in the Philippines made the United States doubt its own ability even more at that time, so the pessimism is mentioned many times in this film. This also explains why, they look more dumb than brothers. In the end, I said that the soldiers were confused, the situation of the war, and the early days of the Pacific War, the United States really didn't know how to deal with the Japanese army, so everything seemed to have no rules, a confused march, and a confused exchange of fire, this is a historical fact, It's not that the director is lazy, or that the shooting is not as good as Brothers. What did they see? suicide? People eat people? family? Kamikaze? child? These things are more able to show the impact on the soul. If the soldiers of the company of brothers brought back honor, what did the Pacific soldiers bring back home? There is no honor at all, right? Therefore, the shock of the soul and the reflection are the reasons why this film is better than the Brotherhood!

The plot is more delicate than that of Brotherhood, but the battle scenes are lackluster.

After chasing this drama in 2010, I was captured by the title and music in an instant. When I first watched it, I didn't think there was a good relationship with Brothers, but Snafu became my favorite highlight. That moment was too vague, and the actor's light-hearted performance made me want to stop... In the following years, I watched these two films many times, every time All have a different taste. And I've been waiting for Snafu's performance. Although most of the characters are inconspicuous, because I paid attention to him, I found that several characters can be easily retracted. It wasn't until 2018 when he appeared as the second male lead in "Babylon" that I was so blown away that I remembered his name, Rami Malek. Needless to say, Queen, Golden Globe Actor, I, who have been following this guy for almost ten years, shouted out happily when I made the Oscar list - in this era of looking at faces and looking at body, I am the most happy. The two young actors I admire, one is Rami with big eyes, and the other is Eddie with freckles. These two unremarkable guys are the only two actors born in the 1980s... I'm talking nonsense.
