#182: The Pacific , Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir

Genre: Action/Drama/Drame guerre

Annee/Year: 2010

Format: Blu Ray

The Pacific. Team work. First way to describe this HBO historical series recounting the Pacific frame of the second world war from the American perspective. This highly acclaimed series is a continuation of the popular Band of Brothers series which recounted the European frame of the second world war. The first series was so highly acclaimed and appreciated that making a follow up series was definitely a tall order.

Three directors participated to elaborating the series (J Podeswa, T Van Patten, D. Nutter) and a slew of producers put their hand to it as well; amongst which Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg the genius behind the first series as well. This series is beautifully crafted and is a true classic in all senses the word can be used.

We follow through this series a number of characters based mainly on the true stories of real vetarans: Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge and the war hero John Basilone. We follow their adventures through the taking of the Pacific islands from the japanese: Guadalcanal, selling war bonds back home, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa... all names which still ring in everybody's ears to this day. The story of John Basilone will bring a tear to the eyes of any men and women and will make you feel this sense of owing these veterans something to this day.

Beautiful series and well worth the Blu ray version. A classic series to be and something no one should miss especially if you are a history or war buff.

The Pacific. Un classique en devenir et un travail d'equipe gigantesque.Cette serie de HBO nous raconte l;histoire de la deuxieme guerre mondiale dans le theatre du Pacifique du point de vue des Etats-Unis. Cette serie est la suite spirituelle de la populaire et acclame serie Band of Brothers qui revoyait le theatre des activites en Europe.

Trois directeurs ont participés a l`élaboration de la séerie (J Podeswa, T Van Patten, D. Nutter) et un nombre de producteurs y ont mis al main également; parmis ceux-ci on retrouve Tom Hanks et Steven Spielberg qui ont aussi été les génies derrière Band of Brothers.

Nous suivons l`histoire de dix épisodes à travers les yeux d`un nombre de personnages qui sont basées sur l`expérience de réels vétérans: Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge et le héro John Basilone. Nous les suivons dans des aventures lors de la reprise des îles du Pacifique de la main des japanais: Guadalcanal, vente des bonds pour la guerre à la maison, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa... Tous des noms qui sont restés gravées dans notre mémoire collective. L`histoire de basilone en particulier saura tirer une larme au plus froides âmes.

Une séerie presque parfaite et un classique en devenir. Le cinema et la TV ne font rien de mieux que la qualité donnéee à cette série. À ne pas manquer surtout si vous apprecié l`histoire etles films de guerre.
