When I grew up, I especially liked history, especially the history of war. Every time I watch a movie about war, I always put myself in the plot and imagine what kind of role I would be in the war: a warrior who fought hard, or a coward who shivered when he walked? A wise officer, or an obedient soldier? After watching Band of Brothers, I didn't have to think about it at all. Because, all kinds of people can be captured from the show.
History is always written by the victors, so there are many distortions in it. But this drama should have a high degree of historical restoration in all aspects. Not to mention the acting skills of the actors, the interviews with the veterans before each episode are enough to greatly enhance the authenticity of the show. Whenever the veteran choked, he would also be saddened. This is the quality of a good film: grasping both the event and the heart.
When such films are made in the United States, the presence of heroism is usually weakened. War is fought together by everyone, living together and dying together. You sacrifice yourself for others, which is shocking to your comrades, but it will not be a turning point for the war. As Dick Winters mentioned at the end of the credits: No. I fight with a group of heroes. In war, everyone is a hero, and conversely, everyone is the same. It’s not right to make movies with war as the theme in our country. There must be heroes, and movies cannot be made without heroes.
In terms of filming techniques, the play feels no different from the movie. The framing, close-ups of the faces, and angles of the characters are all almost perfect.
Anyway, friends who like war themes must not miss this drama.
