The Pacific DVD set as a compilation is just breathtaking. We all take our TV viewing for granted these days, but just sometimes something happens really stands out and leaves you with a real sense of being there and feel involved characters and I must say that you must be quite hardened not to immerse yourself completely in this particular journey.
OK, so there was a number any stories in World War 2 and some really were quite spectacular, but I'll paste my neck here and say I've never been anything quite like this before. In collaboration with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, they have created a masterpiece.
Across the Pacific DVD tells the story of three specific marine concentrating on their actual, individual experiences during the conflict with the Japanese in World War 2 by a combination of real events and personal experiences in innovative ways.
I have never been personally to the combat, and could never imagine or totally understand what it must be like, but through three marines, Robert Leckie, John Balisone and Eugene Sledge and some graphic scenes, you begin to realize some of the debilitating war not only physically but psychologically too.
With a number of World War 2 veterans fighters present on disk 6 horrible sharing and graphic memories all backup stories already seen, and if you doubt the authenticity and then these brave men will put you right back there with them and you do feel very humble.
You can really see how terrible fighting was against an enemy whose mantra has always been dead before in disgrace, which makes it an extremely brutal and relentless adversary.
Not only that but, with impenetrable forests as the field of battle, taking on this fanatic enemy conditions were far from ideal being doing hell on the day the day on Earth. Thus, these men were pushed physical and mental limits.
Episodes cover all aspects and influences of this brutal conflict that see us the characters at home, to leave and away from the battle field too. But with powerful performances of half hungry soldiers exhausted trying to fight in the torrential rains and the fight against malaria too it is difficult not to feel their pain and their raw emotion.
If the Pacific DVD set was a book for one certainly could not put the beginning to the end of such is the power of the drama that unfolds before your eyes, totally convincing.
