The short interviews at the beginning of each episode with the surviving members of Easy Company are hard to watch and keep a dry eye at the same time. I have no doubt that Hanks and Spielberg will do this justice.
Totally unintentional, I assure you. I agree that BofB is a work of art. I can watch that scene where Spears runs through shell bursts and relieves Lt. Dyke over and over again. I also own the boxed set and have watched it many times. I think it was one of HBOs finest moments and I have high expectations that "The Pacific" will be just as well done. Now will it be as good? I have no idea - I read Ambrose's book and know how well he followed the story. I haven't read either of the books "The Pacific" will be based on.
