Description

Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were an elete rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became legend.

Where is it? Jul 29, 2010
The first time I watched this series I borrowed copies from a friend who recorded it off of the tv. This version has been re-edited to shorten the length of each episode. I am GREATLY disappointed. Some of these parts were things that I was looking foreword to watching again. The pacing was changed in other parts that left a different impression on what happened. If I was watching it for the first time I may have enjoyed it, but knowing what I'm missing and just how much richer the story was before, I have to give it only one or two stars.

Excellent Series Jul 28, 2010
This is an excellent 10-part series, focusing on not only on the tactical aspects of the military, but on the personal relationships developed during wartime. Well worth watching - especially for those interested in getting an overall view of the war in Europe.

One of the best HBO film series ever made Jul 27, 2010
I can't add anything to the comments already made about this wonderful HBO series. It's outstanding and should be a part of anyone's DVD movie collection. Highly recommended, especially for those interested in WWII history. All A+++++++

so-so Jul 25, 2010
This was very watchable at the time I went through it, but it fails a critical test: I wouldn't watch it again.

I think the core problem is that it's not about anything. Unlike other war novels I'm aware of (Naked and the Dead, All Quiet on the Western Front, Catch-22), this novel has no central theme, no central concern, no "message" -- if you will.

I'm not sure if I'm articulating myself well, so here's what I mean: do you notice that EVERYTHING happens in this series? Yeah, everything happens to everybody, so you are free to conclude whatever you want from its contents. There's a guy who loses his courage. There's a guy who gets his courage. There's a guy who sees the brutality of war. There's a guy who doesn't. There's a guy whose life is ruined by the war. There's a guy whose life is vastly improved. There's a guy who's promoted. There's a guy who's not. There's a guy who is made wise by battle. There's a guy who learns nothing. Whatever you'd like to see in war, whatever you'd like to take from it, there's a guy in this series who pretty much does that for you.

A failure on the writer's part! Art should hone life, bring it into focus, distill it. Not present it in toto. If that's all you're doing, what do we need you for? Just make a documentary and we'll draw our own conclusions.
