I just finished watching the best war movie I have ever seen. It is the 10-episode series, “Band of Brothers”, weaving together the memories and real experiences of member of a company of the 82nd Airborne from training past the end of WW II, including D-Day, the failed Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge and Bastogne, until past the end of the war.

It clearly shows the horror, brutality and chaos of war. It captures both the munity and inhumanity of people. It portrays how the bonds of trust, mutual respect and camaraderie between people who have trained and served together can lead to phenomenal individual and unit heroism, strength, and endurance. It depicts the real moments of human warmth and poignance that occur in the midst of war. Still, it also it captures how continuing war can wear upon and even destroy the minds of men.

It is a phenomenonal movie which I highly recommend. It has the quality which one expect from the directors Hanks and Spielberg.

The Deer Hunter still leaves me speechless and sad.

I can't watch war movies, they trip my anxieties into high gear. I watched Saving Private Ryan when it first came out. Great movie, didn't sleep well for a couple of days.

I can understand.
