(Rewrite) The Band of Brothers

We have a lot of World War movies and Television series. Most of movies and TV series just show action and bloodthirsty violence up. Yet The Band of Brothers is the best World War 2 TV series 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 good background music, amazing scenes, and compelling stories.
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 listening 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 for them.
Secondly, there are incredible scenes. These scenes make the viewer’s 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-Day was my favorite part of the sires. When soldiers tried to get in the airplane, everything was dark and silent. It seems to be the calm before the storm. I suppose, dark and silence inside the airplane foreshadows the battle to come. It makes viewer feel tension and involved in the war.
Furthermore, amazing scenes are harmonious with compelling stories. The scenes at Bastogne, for example, Easy Company went 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 with each other, but they had never spoken their feeling. During the battle, Germany attacked paths of the allied forces; the 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 across a Nazi concentration camp. The allied forces would think why we fight and why we are against Nazi. And soldiers would ask viewers to understand their stories. As a result, the band of brothers shows the pain of war, tragedy, and impresses up us.
In conclusion, the amazing scenes, compelling stories, and background music helps show the viewers the pain and tragedy of war, impressing this upon us. The music is warm and soft, powerful and activated. Also, the scenes show warmth of humanity and dual nature of good and evil. In addition the stories tell us about falling in love during the chaos in the battle. Those reasons make me feel soldiers’ emotion and get involved with them. This is why I watch the TV series.
