Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The Big Picture Although there have been great war films ever since the earliest days of cinema, the groundbreaking limited series Band of Brothers was a game-changing television event that changed HBO forever. Unlike past prestige television productions, Band of Brothers hailed from producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who established a sizable budget crafting an in-depth exploration of the exploits of the men in “Easy Company” throughout World War II.
Release Date March 14, 2010 Cast James Badge Dale , Jon Seda , Joseph Mazzello , Ashton Holmes , Jacob Pitts , Rami Malek , William Sadler , Jon Bernthal Main Genre Drama Seasons 1 What Is ‘The Pacific’ About? While Band of Brothers follows a large ensemble of characters during their service in several key battles in Europe, The Pacific examines the Allies’ campaign to seize Asian territories during World War II.
‘The Pacific’ Has a Great Ensemble Cast While the series never seems to lionize warfare itself, The Pacific shows that each soldier’s story is different by exploring their motivations for joining the war. Like many of his brothers-in-arms, Leckie immediately enlists in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, as he feels that it is his duty to protect the nation.
Although he doesn’t appear until the middle of the series, Rami Malek’s performance as Snafu Shelton gives the series additional emotional weight. Although Snafu’s excitability often gets the better of him, he becomes the friend that Sledge needs during the brutal Battle of Okinawa.
