"The Pacific is based primarily on two memoirs of U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie.[3] The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone, as the war against the Empire of Japan rages." - wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacific_(miniseries))
Film deal? Write about films, I will. But somethings are worth a special mention... Based on true stories, The Pacific like its predecessor "Band of Brothers" dealt with war in all its gory and glory...
We can expect to see a film that does not glorify war, but glorifies the human being... showing both the ugly side and what is good. As such a war is a place where you will find man at his worst... and best too.
While we live in a world that portrays even the ugly as beautiful... A war and a documentary type movie that depicts the goodness in man, and the goodness that is LOST in a war, sacrificed to some evil...will always be a scream at what is wrong in the world. Wars will continue until we realise its waste... in humanity and life.
For those of us who have watched "Band of Brothers"... this will be something to look forward to. Stay tuned as we await to find more about this HBO production.
