I especially loved the direction of the episode done by executive producer Tom Hanks, possibly with some help from the other executive producer Steven Spielberg. The photography and direction is great also. Every actor seems to be perfect for his character. Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston are superb as Major Winters and Captain Lewis Nixon. Even David Schwimmer (from 'Friends') as the bitter Captain Sobel is great. Between beginning and ending of episodes one of the best things I have seen on screen is presented to us. Every episode starts with the real men from Easy-company telling about their experiences and ends with a short written update of Easy-company. This story is shown to us in ten different episodes. 'Band of Brothers' follows Easy-company from their training in England, through D-Day, the rest of France (including Bastogne), Holland (including operation Market Garden), Germany and Austria. All three things are great, the films I mean, and you definitely should see all three of them.
The third was 'Band of Brothers', a true story about combat in the war. That movie shows us more of the common persons during the war, Germans and not-Germans. One of them grows up in Nazi-Germany, the other in The Netherlands.
The second was 'De Tweeling', a Dutch film about two twin-sisters, separated in 1926. The first was 'The Pianist' about the Warsaw ghetto in the war and the survival of a Jewish pianist in that ghetto. This week I saw three things based on WW-II novels.
