We have a lot of World War movies and Television sires. Most of movies and TV sires just show action and bloodthirsty violence up. Yet the band of brothers is the best World War 2 TV sires that I have ever seen; in fact, I could feel soldier’s emotions. The Band of brothers describes War’s sadness, tragedy, and love. It also depicts the experiences of Easy Company of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army. The series covers Easy Company’s basic training at Toccoa, Georgia, as they train for Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of Bastogne through the end of the war. There are amazing scenes, compelling stories, and good background music. First of all, the band of brothers’ music is wonderful. The main theme, for example, we might feel friendship and love. It is warm and pretty soft when we listen to the main theme. We seem to be in our home. In addition, the second section of the music (Suite No.1) is powerful and activated. It describes dynamic power of brave soldiers. While listen to the music, one might feel the reality with of battle. And, finale of the swan music describes War’s sorrows, deaths and failures. During the battle, soldiers watched many friends die; survivor soldiers felt bad and sorry to them.
Secondly, there are incredible scenes. These scenes make the viewer experience the same sensation of the soldiers. For instance, a good scene is the scene at Bastogne in Central Europe. This scene shows the beauty of nature in the winter time with snow covered forest. The cold represents the human’s heart and mind. On the other hand, during the battle, when the blood covers snow, it represents warm’s humanity. We should love each other. It also indicates our mind because we have dual nature of good and evil. Also, a scene in the cities was very peaceful and important. Most of cities looked comfortable and cozy. Because there were a lot of memories of families, I think, director wanted to remind viewers about stability of home. Thus, D-Days was my favorite part of the sires. When soldiers tried to get in the airplane, everything was dark and silence. It seems to be calm before the storm. I suppose, dark and silence inside airplane foreshadows the battle to come. It makes viewer to feel tension and involve to war.
Furthermore, amazing scenes are harmonious with compelling stories. Scene at Bastogne, for example, Easy Company went to near Germany, despite shortages of food, ammunition, winter clothing and the medic, Eugene Roe, who does not have the necessary medical supplies to properly treat the men, met a kindly nurse. They did fall in love each other, but they had never spoken their feeling. During the battle, Germany attacked paths of the allied forces; a nurse was killed by bomb at the time. Moreover, as Easy Company enters Germany itself, they find themselves confronted with the horrors of the holocaust when members of Easy Company stumble across a Nazi concentration camp. The allied forces would think why we fight and why we are against with Nazi. And soldiers would ask viewer to understand their story. As a result, the band of brothers shows the pain of war, tragedy, and impresses us.
