Product Description
Product Description
Band of Brothers Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were an elete rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became legend.
Amazon.com
An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War II, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry--Easy Company--from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality of the war; Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a concentration camp and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. But what makes these episodes work is not their historical sweep but their emphasis on riveting details (such as the rattle of a plane as the paratroopers wait to leap, or a flower in the buttonhole of a German soldier) and procedures (from military tactics to the workings of bureaucratic hierarchies). The scope of this miniseries (10 episodes, plus an actual documentary filled with interviews with surviving veterans) allows not only a thoroughness impossible in a two-hour movie, but also captures the wide range of responses to the stress and trauma of war--fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion, and all-encompassing confusion. The result is a realism that makes both simplistic judgments and jingoistic enthusiasm impossible; the things these soldiers had to do are both terrible and understandable, and the psychological price they paid is made clear. The writing, directing, and acting are superb throughout. The cast is largely unknown, emphasizing the team of actors as a whole unit, much like the regiment; Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston play the central roles of two officers with grit and intelligence. Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it's a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment. --Bret Fetzer
Set Contains:
HBO's impressive miniseries may have the most handsome packaging to date: a tin container enclosing the accordion sleeves holding six discs. The extras on the set are just as classy. Besides the rudimentary 30-minute making-of, there's an hour's worth of video diaries by actor Ron Livingston (who portrays Lewis Nixon) detailing the tough "actors' boot camp." The first-person recollections of the real Easy Company soldiers that begin each episode are expanded in the 80-minute documentary We Stand Alone Together. The real footage and heartfelt recollections complement the series, but viewers may want more interaction between the lifelong friends. The documentary is better in the final minutes, when the veterans are not talking about the specific incidents depicted in the film. Another big help in this set is the "field guide," a dossier of maps, glossary, definitions of ranks, a timeline, and a who's who for each episode. --Doug Thomas

So far i have seen only 5 episodes on the BLU-RAY and i have to say that the picture quality is insanely good i own over 30 Blu ray movies and series like Planet Earth, Band of brothers picture quality beat every movie i have ever seen ,yes even Disney Blu rays like pirates, the colors is perfect and its crystal clear, its just UNREAL how good its, i was really surprised i didn't expect TV series picture quality to beat Movies picture quality (Its simply the Best picture quality so far on blu ray to me, but sometimes picture quality jump from crystal clear to "extremely" Grainy on some parts which is intended i believe)
Blu-ray.com reviewed the series today also and gave the picture quality 5/5 and everything else 5/5 kinda XD
I have only seen 5 episodes so far! and i don't want it to end ;( that's why i'm watching it slowly, to be honest i have always hated and avoided World war Movies because to me they are boring as hell, i have heard the story god damn million time in books/video games and Hollywood movies even school books and most of the times each version of the movie is different so you don't know which version is real or accurate about what happened in the world war 2 because a lot of movie directors change events and make them different to sell tickets, but with band of brothers the men who went to the war speaks to you and tell you there REAL story "there is picture in picture mode where you can watch the movie and small screen like 1/4 of the TV pop and the Real people who was at the event speaks and its optional"
Band of brothers is a masterpiece its Story,Characters,Script, Events,Sound is too good plus its very emotional story.... i don't know where to start about this series it just blow my mind from its goodness
I hope this review was helpful to you
The transfers to blue ray are nice and clear, there is some intentional grany shots, or shots and scenes that couldn't be made crystal clear in low light back then, that is to be expected. The sound really is alot better than dvd seemingly, kind of made me jump many times. The extras are something I haven't explored as of yet, I'm a blue ray newbie anyway.
Mainly though, if you think you've really seen it too many times already, then you are like me and have, just see it again in blue ray if you can afford it or don't have to spend too much. Ha, far better than the vhs set I bought a long time ago and still own, back when all I had was a vcr and a tv from the mid nineties, and one of those signal clarifyers that improved signal between vcr and 75 owm connector on the tv.
I did notice for all those thinking about buying a blue ray copy that the BoB blue ray packaged with the part one of the Pacific is still regularly cheaper than just the blue ray BoB package alone.

No es una película dramatizada de guerra, muestra (supongo) lo más aproximado a la realidad de los hechos, sin llegar a ser un documental.
Es una serie que es difícil de dejar de ver.
"日本生産版(日本語吹き替え込み物意)"はもう既に玉数も底を着いていた事も在りなんと4万程の値段.
",,,,,,,"
流石に買う気も無かったのですが
"インポ-ト版"が5.6千円.
"使われる語等は内容がほぼ限定されており英字幕も出る為自分で勝手に訳せる,,,,,,"インポ-ト版"でいいんじゃないか?,,,,,,"
と思い"インポ-ト版"を先ず買いました
結果
予想通りほぼ言語状も問題無し
また
"予想以上に話中身内容方向性等がまともで在り惟が結構見れる品"です.
正直予想外でした.
"どうせプライベ-トライアン程度の何処ぞにコテコテ米ドラマ模様が入り台無しになっているんじゃないのか?"
とか思っていました
ところが
ラスト10話部分状でコテコテ米ドラマ感は現れるものの
"全編通しほぼ難も問題もそれ程無いまともな普通な戦争背景物映画ドラマ"でした
"恐れ入った,,,,,,,"とゆう感も持てる程です.
"プライベ-トライアン"の場合は
"冒頭及びラスト側の現代部分とハンクス役ミラ-のくだらんお涙頂戴にもならん幼稚陳腐滑稽な台詞部分等がえらく邪魔で"それさえ無ければいい映画だった"のに,,,,,,,"
こう思うものでした
ですが
"BANDOFBROTHERS"にはそんなものは在りません.
非常にまともな普通ないいドラマです.
皆さん騙されたと思い買って見てください.
予想外にいい品です.
また注意点としては日本語訳吹き替え側また日本語字幕側等にはどの様な作品でも必ず"甘さ"やら"やわさ"が目立ちます.
表現を控え解かり易くする表現を置く為でしょう.
"それ"を考慮し場面状況心情状態状に合った最も適した訳を自分でさっと過ぎらせ見る為には
"インポ-ト版"の方が好都合です.
私は"インポ-ト版"を買って
"良かった"と思いました.
後で"日本語訳吹き替え版"も買って見たのですが
"やはりどうしても甘さやわさが目立ち適切に訳されてはいません"でした.
完全に聞き取れ無くても英字を目で追いさっと訳せる者にとっては絶対に
"インポ-ト版"の方が正解です.
"インポ-ト版"の方が好都合です.
この通りです.
また
"日本語訳吹き替え版"はSETUPメニュ-がゴチャゴチャとしていて幼稚ではっきり言えば邪魔です.
"インポ-ト版"のSETUPメニュ-はシ-スル-状で在りシンプルで在り大変見易くいいです.
=4万以上もする"日本語訳吹き替え版"なんぞは買う価値も無く,
5.6千円の"インポ-ト版"の方が正解です.
こうです.
ラスト10話でコテコテ米ドラマ感は現れるものの
"全編通しほぼ難も問題もそれ程無いまともな普通な戦争背景物映画ドラマ"でした
"恐れ入った,,,,,,,"とゆう感も持てる程です.
"戦闘部分等は流石に"プライベ-トライアン"が生かされておりえらくいい出来栄え"です.
"DDから独軍降伏直後辺りまでの各々歴史状代表部分とも言えるものから各々が抜粋され綴られる型で構成"されています.
多少はしょり過ぎで正直20話は欲しかったと思うものですが全編を通し見た上で充分良く出来ていると思わされます.
皆さん5.6千円の"インポ-ト版"を買ってはいかがでしょうか?
余談ですが"BANDOFBROTHERS"に対し
"THEPACIFIC"はコテコテ感が満載過ぎます.
"BANDOFBROTHERS"を見た後では"THEPACIFIC"はいいとは思えません.
"BANDOFBROTHERS"を見る前までは"THEPACIFIC"はまともだと思っていたのですが,
"BANDOFBROTHERS"を見た後では"THEPACIFIC"はコテコテ過ぎ見れたものではありません.
以上"BANDOFBROTHERSインポ-ト版"でした.
(顔が当時割りと知られた者やら今現在良く知られる顔が出て来たりもします.)
最後に登場主部隊面子がやたら1958年側やら1995年近辺側で死んでいます.
(1958年頃は第二次側から漸く安堵的な状態側になった時代域=狙い易い時で在り1995年域は第二次終了50年後程です)
"不自然な程に"です.
"ナチ狩り"の逆の
"忙殺やら残虐虐殺行為を行った米兵を独ポ-ランド側の者等が復讐的にやったもの"とも思われます.
勝手な憶測ですが.
"当時は冷戦下で米側はソ連に目は行ったものの終わった側の独側への警戒を軽視していた為"ではないでしょうか?
軍に再び籍を戻した者やら刑務所所長になった者やら手を出し辛い者等は長生きしていますね.
ほんの余談でした.
