The Second World War is drawing to a close, and at the same time it has reached its worst season. The Nazis in Germany retreated steadily, the Allies decided to open a second battlefield in Europe, and Normandy in northern France became the key to the beginning of the new game. On June 6, 1944, the E Company of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States was ordered to airborne this gunfire-intensive beach. Company E is composed of a group of passionate, patriotic and uplifting youths. The rigorous training has allowed them to become the elites and backbones of the US military. Under the command of Lieutenant Winster, the soldiers overcame various disadvantages and successfully completed the landing battle. After that, a high-intensity battle kicked off until they conquered Hitler's last fortress, the base camp in Berchtesgaden. The Brothers Company is an ode and requiem for ordinary warriors.

In the film, the friendship between the soldiers of the E company has never been confessed by the passionate words, but it unmistakably penetrates the bits and pieces of their words and deeds as the story unfolds. When they first entered the training camp, due to the oppression of the instructor Sobel, they were inspired to unite and form a confrontation. The young soldier was afraid of climbing, refused to participate in mountain training and was punished by Sobel to climb alone. When he walked halfway hard, he found his teammates gradually gathered around him. When Sobel squeezed Winters, who was beloved by the soldiers, they risked military law to dispose of them and protested collectively. In the flames of war, the friendship of life and death has truly experienced the harshest and cruel test in the world. Before going to the battlefield, Sergeant Gnelli said to his companions: "On the battlefield, you can't believe anything except yourself and your closest comrades."

Band of Brothers quotes

  • Bill Guarnere: My brother's in North Africa. He says it's hot.

    Donald Malarkey: Really? It's hot in Africa?

    Bill Guarnere: Shut up!

  • Carwood Lipton: [narrating as Lieutenant Speirs runs across the battlefield] At first the Germans didn't shoot at him. I think they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing. But that wasn't the really astounding thing. The astounding thing was that, after he hooked up with I Company, he came back.
