Today I started with "Band of Brothers" series. It is too good. Am i good enough to critic the work of Tom Hanks and Stephen Speilberg?? hmm... let me try... Instead of saying something about the work of those guys let me explain the way the soldiers died in the war. The way they brought the world war II before us is really gr8.

Today i saw the fourth and fifth one in the series ...

Let me give my reviews over all the five movies

CURRAHEE ***1/2
The first one was just a starter where the "Easy Company" were trained under a very strict officer. David Schwimmer played the role of that officer and it is very diff to picturize him in tat role as he was well known for his comic role in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Any way it was an "ok" one.

In Toccoa, Ga., 1942, a disparate group of young men begins voluntary training to become members of one of America's newest military regiments - the paratroopers(the one who jumps with parachutes). Under the harsh leadership of Lt. Sobel (David Schwimmer), members of the newly formed Easy Company go from green civilians to some of the Army's most elite soldiers. As training progresses, a rivalry flares between Sobel, whom the men despise, and Lt. Winters (Damian Lewis), a junior officer who's earned the respect and admiration of Easy Company.

DAYS OF DAYS *****(cant give more than this.... otherwise there wuld be infinite stars to this part)

On June 6, 1944, D-Day(next famous to war stallingard), planes with thousands of paratroopers cross the English Channel to France, where they come under heavy fire. None of the men land where they expected to, and many lose their weapons and supplies in the drop. Winters links up with solitary soldiers, and they set off to find their units. The scene where the planes come under heavy fire was awesome. Then thousands of paratroopers just jump from the sky. It shld be seen .I cant xpress such a beautiful scene. Easy Company's first objective is to take out a German artillery installation at Brecourt Manor, a few kilometers north of Ste.Marie-du-Mont. Winters (Damian Lewis) is chosen to lead an attack on a fortified German artillery position; the mission is successful, but Winters, now acting company commander, loses his first man. The way they plan the mission hs no faults. Its simply mind boggling. It says that the same mission is still xplained as a text cases in most of the american military units.

CARENTAN ****1/2

SUNDAY, SEPT. 16,. Two days after D-Day, Easy Company is sent to take the town of Carentan, engaging in a successful battle that results in several casualties. The scene where they try to occupy a building is awesome. The casualities are less but it is very cruel. One soilder loses his leg. And just on one person a bomb explodes making a hole in his chest. One medic who tries to help a casuality gets a shot. It was too bad. Some soldiers, including Pvt. Blithe (Marc Warren), have a difficult time adjusting to combat. Later Bithe gets a shot in his chest and dies. It is really painful. If we ppl feel like this i cant imagine how the ppl who participated in the ar would have felt. After 36 days in Normandy and several fierce battles,the Easy company returns to England, but their celebrations are short-lived, as news comes that they're moving out again. Really no one wants a war.

REPLACEMENTS ****

Due to heavy casualties, a group of fresh paratrooper replacements joins Easy Company in time for a massive drop into German-occupied Holland for Operation Market-Garden. For the first time here we got to see a failure mission. They had no resistance in Eindhoven, but Easy and a cluster of British tanks are repelled from a nearby town by a superior German force, sustaining many casualties as they retreat. The Allied plan to enter Germany through Holland and end the war before Christmas fails. And it ends with 8750 deaths and many casualities. Easy loses 150 men. The ppl they show as replacements were very young and it was really pathetic to know that ppl of 17-18 years were just forced to join in the army and many got dead s they didnt have enough training.

CROSSROADS ****

Easy Company leads a mission on a Dutch dike near Arnhem, Holland. It was really a gr8 mission. And Lewis was awesome. When he kills a german soldier(a small kid) his expressions were watchable. They are damn perfect and faultless. The mission results in a resounding victory, for which he is promoted to Battalion Executive Officer. Dissatisfied with his new, largely administrative job, Winters is concerned about the leadership of the three companies he now commands. After a weekend pass to Paris, news arrives of a massive Axis effort in the Ardennes Forest, threatening to break the Allied lines. Easy Company races in to hold the line, ill-equipped for the bitterly cold weather and the entrenched battle ahead. I heard that the next one was the best in the series. Lets see what hanks and speilberg has kept in store for me.

neways.... Damn gud movies .. Tam Hanks and Speilberg recreated the World War. The settings are too natural. The screen play is flawless. Even the actors in BOB are professional and they look like real soldiers. I donno when our indian movies will reach this standard. Lets hope they do reach soon......
