Band of Brothers
Band of Brothers is based on a book by American historian Stephen E
Ambrose, who compiled the story from interviews with
veterans of the "Easy Company", the Airborne's 506th. It is a 10-part miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom
Hanks for HBO. The show follows the members of Easy Company from the time of their training to the end of the World War II. The show seems like it tries to be a lot like Saving Private Ryan, but I am okay with that since it's one of the greatest movies ever. It is a very emotional show and you grow to love many of the actors. There are many moments in the miniseries that make you cringe, but they show you some of the horrors of war. Near the end of the show the the Company liberates a concentration camp, this shows the horrors of the holocaust. The holocaust was one of worst things to happen on this planet and I'm glad the show's creator didn't shy away from showing it. Even though it makes me sick to my stomach that so much evil happened, I think that we need to not shy away from showing things like this, otherwise we grow to pampered and we forget.
