After watching the whole play, I don't feel as flawless as the legend, and the overall feeling is not as good as "Pacific War".
When I read the original book "Band of Brothers", I gave up after reading only half of it. This kind of experience is a bit like watching "Journey to the West". On the way to learn the scriptures, it is difficult to see that the middle is really aesthetic fatigue. After reading these classic passages, I will skip to the end to watch the ending. The same is true of watching this drama, it is easy to get tired of aesthetics, it is difficult to watch two episodes in a row, and you always get distracted in the middle.
The biggest advantage of "Band of Brothers" is the sense of reality, which truly reproduces the original content and the cruelty of the battlefield: the strategic command mistakes of the highest command, the lack of responsibility of company commanders, the severe cold of winter, the military superiority of the German army, and It was under this enormous pressure that the soldiers fought in fear. The most valuable thing is that the veterans take the lead and take care of each other among the soldiers.
The reason why this drama is so sought after, in addition to technical factors, may be that the film directly exposed various negative performances of the army and soldiers, which shocked the Chinese audience who were anesthetized by the propaganda film. That's how it should be shot" adoration. After all, American dramas don't have to submit to ideological management, and they're not afraid to expose their shortcomings.
All the scenes in "Band of Brothers" are limited to the battlefield performance and knowledge of this company, lacking an overall, in-depth and three-dimensional perspective, and the characters' personality characteristics, behavioral motives, and ideological logic are not very clear. The drawing is flat. On the contrary, "Pacific War" describes the family background, family, love and friendship of the three protagonists, and the growth of the characters in the war is also very clear.
Of course, starting from what the soldiers have seen along the way, the towns destroyed by the war, the suffering of civilians caught in the war, the Dutch punishment of pro-German women, the tragic situation of the Jewish concentration camps, all kinds of World War II episodes are involved, and there is no shortage of them The colors of humanistic care, however, are all subtle and comprehensive, and do not exceed the level of running accounts.
In short, this series is more technical than artistic, and it is between documentaries and feature films. It is the welfare of military fans.
