A 10-part mini-series from the creators of "Band of Brothers" telling the intertwined stories of three Marines during America's battle with the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II.
Analysis... Overall, the music evokes the sadness of Honor, the sadness of battlefield Glory, paid for with the blood of boys. Horrible, yet sometimes unavoidable, and calling upon us to respect and remembrance. If listened at higher volume or headset, there is tympani (base drum) that evokes distant explosions. The occasional red stain evokes both blood and the Japanese Rising Sun flag . The charcoal is used as a drawing implement, but when fractured, evokes both shrapnel and emotion....the intense emotion of the Artist, because the Artist is remembering. He was there. This is his story.
@@prestonchambers8464yeah agree I haven't been to iwo jima myself but I have collected and saw ash on top of a building in Indonesia and it almost look the same.
This never gets old! If I am not watching the intro I listen to the song downloaded from iTunes. Sounds best on headset/earphones. Doesn't matter much which time of the day. Its always on repeat on my playlist and at the end of my workout playlist. Sometimes I would walk home after gym workout or beach jog, about a mile from my apartment, and I put put it on to help make me think and remember. It was the The Pacific Theatre War that took my grandfather to this paradise region where he met my grandmother and have my father. My grandfather survived 4 beach landings including the battle for Tarawa and the battle for Guadalcanal. He was born in 1918, joined the US Marines in 1940 and returned home after the war in 1946. He left in 2014 at age 96.
I say Korea or Vietnam. Vietnam is in my opinion far grittier and dark, especially if you read the long list of war crimes the US committed. Korea would be great if Spielberg did it with one episode from a POV of an american, another from a POV of a Canadian, basically showing us the different POVs from the other nationalities fighting in Korea
Although I never got a taste of true War enlisting as an 0311, I do pray we don't go through another conflict such as this. The scale of human suffering and devastation is beyond anything most Americans can comprehend today.
Oops. At 1:00-1:05 a US Ship underway is flying its jack. When going underway, colors are shifted from jack forward and US flag astern to the US flag aloft from the mast.
I often wonder how the Men of Easy Company in BoB would have gotten along with the men featured in The Pacific if they had (thru some time loop thingie) had met.
Heroes are born when cannons roar bullets fly n Earth explodes - When Trunpets Fade WWII Battle of the Bulge. But quotes fit for The Pacific HBO 10 part Miniseries. True story about PFC Eugene Sledge n his friends. Eugene Sledge was a hero maybe the World has forgotten now but I will always respect you n those men who fought with you esp that crazy guy SNAFU 😂... Respects 🙏 from India.
I want really watch this full movie the pacific and band of brothers but i dont know where i found the full movies of those two movies i really2 want to watch . Please answer me ???🥺🥺 where ?????
I agree, though BoB is hands down the superior series. The opening of this is just _powerful._ It brings tears to my eyes because it conveys a time when we were heroes.

Great Respect to your grandfather..

God bless him for protecting the world's freedom.
Wow, your grandfather sounds like he was a badass. May he always be honored and remembered 🫡
Meus respeitos,ao seu avô um verdadeiro herói de guerra
The best intro ever
I like the intro of Band of Brothers more,but this intro is awesome.
Came back here after all these years I saw this series. God damn this intro is pure gold :)
Yes It is 🌟
Wish Spielberg made another series. The Pacific and BoB are superior to any of the crap today
Agreed dude
There must be some great untold stories from WW1, Korea and Vietnam.
I say Korea or Vietnam.
Vietnam is in my opinion far grittier and dark, especially if you read the long list of war crimes the US committed.

They're filming a new series now!
He is working on a new HBO miniseries, this time it is based on the Air Force.
Although I never got a taste of true War enlisting as an 0311, I do pray we don't go through another conflict such as this. The scale of human suffering and devastation is beyond anything most Americans can comprehend today.
Awesome intro... Hans Zimmer does it again!
Hans Zimmer did awesome job on mw2

There are diferent versions of the intro?
@@viniciuscoxoba3842 different version of the audio for the intro
@@kylecross5804 thank you
Best intro ever.
someone who has a grandfather who fought with the first infantry division of Guadalcanal.
Watching this and the Band of Brothers should be a requirement for graduation from High School.
Amen!
They're both my favourite shows but don't be ridiculous
Makes me so sad... They died... Some peacefully... Some beautifully... Remember why they died...
Soulfully crafted

damn this is good
James Badge Dale💪🏻
First rule of American war.. never leave a fallen man behind..
He had to draw with pastels after he ate the crayons…

This will always bring tears to my eyes.
We were once heroes.
Whenever I hear this music I imagine the raising of the titanic
This intro is the best
I cried during ode to hugh
Does anyone know what the picture of Robert leckie is called
I want really watch this full movie the pacific and band of brothers but i dont know where i found the full movies of those two movies i really2 want to watch . Please answer me ???🥺🥺 where ?????
HBO Max. I' also used to rent the movies from the library on DVD
They’re on Netflix as of right now.
Amazing
This should remind us why they died...
i prefer this over band of brothers no offense captain speirs

Dont forget that the Japanese soldiers fought with honor too, committing suicide for their land, only because of one stupid leader. Respect for both!
@@hjkl4153 americans did too the same because of their stupid leaders you forgot?
Look up the IJN Destroyer Ikazuchi (Thunder) and its rescue of Royal Navy Sailors in 1942.
@@hjkl4153 no one is innocent in war. Just because history is written by the victors does not mean the enemy should not deserve respect
