Pacific

[fudgums]

anyone else watch the video after the credits?

[lyric1]

I liked it I think it can only get better? Considering it is about war.

It is pretty disappointing, really.  Not written half as well as Band of Brothers.

In my opinion, they focused too much on getting all of the technical stuff right, and not enough on developing the characters.

That is why we cared so much about Easy Company in Band of Brothers.   We felt like we were one of them.

In the first episode of BOB, there was very little character development outside the main characters of Winters and Sobel.
Band of Brothers has the benefit of having all its episodes having been available for 9 years, each of the 10 building to create the whole picture...perhaps it would be more prudent to allow The Pacific to complete its run before any real comparisons can be made?

Agreed. By the way, I love your avatar. One of the few movies I've watched more than ten times

I saw and understood it like he was upset he failed and the rest of his comrades were killed and he did not meet the same honorable fate.

Six and one.

Same basic message.  Life is unimportant.

It'd be nice if someone who understands Japanese could tell us what he was saying.

I speak a little Japanese.

He says "rooks and knits suhhhhhkkkkk"

I loved it, very well done and to be honest i can't wait to see the Pt.II

thx Mr. Spielberg & Hanks!

I got my roommate to watch it, he loved it, now I got him watching Band of Brothers since it's on OnDemand right now, he's definitely hooked.

I saw it as he lost his mind seeing all his mates and countrymen lying in the gutter dead with various bodyparts blown off. I also saw it that he rather died standing up then being captured and tortured to death by the evil and unhuman Americans. I think their superiors had told them that very nasty things would happen to them if they would be captured alive.

He simply saw no way out.

Episode 1 of this has been playing on T101 and T101HD channels (DirecTV).  Not a bad deal since I don't pay for HBO

Frustration and anger.... That's what I saw.

I got the same - i didnt understand what he was saying, but I'd imagined it was a litany of Japanese expletives

BoB focused on 1 group. Pacific is following 3 different groups. You're not going to get the same length with the characters you got with BoB. What you will get is a bigger picture of what happened during the war. I think over the next few episodes you will get an idea of the bigger picture.
