I honestly couldn't even finish the Pacific, mainly because of my high expectations after Band of Brothers. It is defintiely not in the same leauge.


I think it's at least in part because you are addicted to pat narratives.

Interesting fact...Saving Private Ryan was loosely based on a group of 4 brothers, the Nilands. One of them fought with the 101st through Normandy until they were pulled back to England and he was sent home.


I love that part of the movie. The OSullivans and the Civil War brothers mentioned by the General in the movie reading the letter from Lincoln.

I dont see the rip off angle. Two movies about the same war.

Neither do I. Seeing as how the mission and people in Saving Private Ryan were completely fictional and Band Of Brothers was completely factual.
