    We few, we happy few

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 10, 2003 | 21 out of 22 found this Band of Brothers (2001) review helpful

    Shakespeare would be proud. It was his England these American farm boys came to protect. And they did. With honor, with venality, with courage, cowardice, modesty and self agrandizement. Most of all, they did it with blood. As war is violent in ...the extreme, so is it portrayed. War and all it's glory and stupidity gushes from the screen. The people who lived it, add to the narrative with their own stories. They are all old men now, yet still they cannot recall their 50-year old memories without choking back tears and horror. The story is incredible.The performances are stunning.The photography is exceptional.Even the title, from Henry V's speech before the battle at Harfleur is both apt and poignant."We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

    The Band Goes On

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 12, 2003 | 6 out of 6 found this Band of Brothers (2001) review helpful

    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

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 12, 2003 | 8 out of 11 found this Band of Brothers (2001) review helpful

    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

    Band of Brothers is AWESOME!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 18, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this Band of Brothers (2001) review helpful

    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

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 2, 2005

    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
