Characters of Band of Brothers

Megane 2022-04-21 09:01:12

The original book of Band of Brothers is an interview-based multiplayer memoir. The prose-style narration lays out a grand scene from the details, and the characters are shaped from the words that describe each other from multiple angles. The whole structure is undoubtedly the structure of "Water Margin". It is quite laborious to adapt, because a little carelessness can loosen the whole structure. But the director of "Band of Brothers" is undoubtedly very successful. Except for episodes 1 and 9, each has a central character in the narrative, which ensures the coherence and relative concentration of the story. It is also the structure of "Water Margin". Don't know if it's intentional or coincidental, but it does provide a successful approach to multi-protagonist stories.

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.
