Old Times

For the past couple of days I have been watching the TV miniseries, Band of Brothers (Spielberg & Hanks). I've seen it before. Its just that it's really good so I felt like watching it again. It has ten parts to it about World War II and how the Americans battled against the Germans but more specifically it focuses on the experiences named Easy Company. This miniseries is very sad and depressing but still very good in a sense. It shows all the hardships the soldiers went through to achieve victory. Their victories in battles and their losses of good friends and pals. The music especially adds a great deal into how Band of Brothers makes you feel. At certain points it kind of made me cry because what happened was so sad. I think one of the many great components that make up this miniseries is the color. It's somewhat faded or like it has some oldness to it. If I recall way back that we talked about Saving Private Ryan and that it too had similar colors. The colors went as vibrant. You could say that it's in between having full color and balck and white. I think it adds a lot to it. There is also a lot of close-ups of different soldiers' faces, when they're fighting, showing the struggles they have or are going through. In conclusion it shows deep emotions, excellent show of a faded color and the whole deal of how this men fought through the war with many victories and losses along the way.
