Band Of Brothers Blue Ray

Band Of Brothers Blue Ray is based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose. It's an epic 10-part miniseries, telling the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army, right from boot camp through to the end of WW2.

Based on interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers tells the story of the extraordinary bravery of Easy Company, and the fears they faced taking part in some of the most difficult battles of WW2. Easy Company was an elite rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge, liberating a concentration camp and finally capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.

They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became legend.

This miniseries offer a thorough account that would be impossible to fit into a two-hour movie, while capturing the motions of war in an unprecedented manner: Stress, trauma, fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion and confusion. The result is a scary realism beyond anything seen before. The price these soldiers had to pay on all levels is made clear throughout, through superb writing, directing, and acting. Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it's a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment.
