Band of Brothers (2001) (6-Disc Set)

The Band Goes On

For the history buff or anyone who just loves a good story, Band of Brothers is the series to watch. And the amazing thing is, it's based on actual events. The series brings you closer to what the soldiers were actually going through at the tim...e. The characters are well developed and you feel as though you've known them forever. A powerful tale about a very important time in our history, told by the men who actually lived it. This would be a great film to share with a high school history class or those who just aren't aware of what the soldiers went through to bring us the freedom we value so much. Read more Less

History in the making

This movie should be mandatory watching for all High School students before graduation. Too many young people don't know what it takes to have the free society we enjoy today, much less appreciate the price so many of our "family" membe...rs paid for us to enjoy it. You only enjoy freedom out of the strength to protect it. Without that strength, your freedom will expire. Each generation has to have it's hero's. Whe we have no more hero's....we will cease to exist as a free society. Read more Less

I honestly believe it should be included as required viewing for U.S. History classes when they enter the section of WW II. These were true heroes that gave their life's blood so that we can live free. And the ones who lived to tell the story so th...at we can remember them forever.The special effects are awesome and the stories that are told - and the characters that tell them bring the story even closer to home. Winters - the man from Lancaster, PA that wouldn't drink liquor or smoke. Nixon - his best friend that could drink alcoholics under the table. Shifty Powers - the company's sharp shooter, Wild Bill Guarnere - the smart mouth from South Philly, Doc Eugene Roe - the medic that was half Cajun, Joe Toye -Gets wounded in Bastogne and escapes from the Aid Station only to get his leg blown off in the woods outside of a little town called Foy. The list goes on and on. You can truly feel for these characters because they're not characters. They are portraying REAL people. THAT makes all the difference.The actors that were chosen were perfect for each role. The casting agents did their job WELL. Damian Lewis as Winters - He's British and can really fake a Pennsylvania accent very well. Ron Livingston as Nixon - great actor! The last DVD has these HBO snipnets Ron did talking about training and behind the scenes for the movie. HILARIOUS! Well worth it.Over all - I love this set. You can tell everyone that was involved in it truly cared for the project and the story. Because...it is history. Read more Less

Our Vets Would Be Proud

Pros: Realism, Intensity,Puts you in the action

Cons: None at all

What a great movie! Takes you through WWII with Easy Company of the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Div. The entire movie is based on real people with the actual veterans speaking in between parts and at the end in the hour and a half documentary "We ...Stand Alone Together". Throughout this film, you get emotionally attached to the different Men of E Co., and you are with them during D-Day, Holland, the Battle of the Bulge, and when they enter Germany. This is a MUST-SEE. Actual veterans of Easy Company say that this IS NOT Hollywood, but it is exactly what they had to go through and it is very authentic. I recommend that everyone see's this film, you won't regret it. Read more Less

Life Changing, Thank you Vets!!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 31, 2004

Pros: Casting, Story, real story captured

Cons: None from start to finish

I was fortunate enough to have viewed the entire feature with my at that time 16yr old son who is now 18 and on his way to Paris Island, USMC. Band Of Brothers played a major part of this life changing event in his life. I truly believe from acting...,directing, the whole production will be one of those classic's we will talk about for many years to come!! Thank you Easy Co.! You are true heroes and May God Bless you and Keep you and your families. Signed, Proud Father of a Marine Read more Less
