What's that from?
Also, it was greatly amusing.
Weird, I just started (and finished) watching that show this week.
Ah, I figured it was either that or The Thin Red Line.
Never managed to get past episode 3 because I guess I expected it to just be BoB but in the Pacific... definitely need to give it another try some time.
As soon as I realized sledge was the kid from Jurassic Park, I just couldn't take him seriously
**** me, I thought I recognized him.
I thought the same about the show at first, Raz. Though I found a different reason to love the show. It certainly wasn't as character-driven as Band of Brothers, but I think that wasn't their focus this time. It was more about the madness that formed in the Marines fighting there. With Eugine Sledge, its really clear. His entering the war as a likable kid, who seemed to respect and fear the fighting as any decent person would, but who, after fighting for months on end turned into an almost despicable person. You see him turn into his fellow mortar crewman, who is already absolutely despicable and who had been there months before Sledge showed up. You see the madness in almost all the characters, and its something no war movie or tv show has ever successfully shown.
The show was fantastic, I thought. You just can't compare it to Band of Brothers, because it has an entirely different point of view and an entirely different message.
