A Million Little Things: 'Til Death Do Us Part (2020)
Well that's a season finale if there ever was one!
After all the trials and tribulations that this group has endured, this ending will have everyone that watches waiting on the edge of their seats for months.
Band of Brothers (2001)
One of the best World War II stories put to film.
Although there are a few historical inaccuracies, this is a very well told story about the men who served their country when they actually had the full backing of their government and the bulk of the population. The acting is excellent and the production, as a whole, is very well done. I watched the entire series when it was originally aired on HBO and have viewed the DVD set several times and it's always engaging and enjoyable. The hardships that these men endured is truly brought to life in the final disc when the viewer gets to "meet" the actual soldiers that the actors portray in the film. The thing that always strikes me is the raw emotion these men feel when they talk about their memories of what they experienced from their days in training to the final days of the war. The camaraderie that is shared by these men is something only they can ever truly understand and appreciate. The one comment that stands out in my mind is when one of the men states that he didn't get friendly with replacements because he didn't like to see them get killed. It's difficult to fathom that kind of thinking unless you were actually in that position. Even with some of the normal goofs that you'll find in almost any film (reflections of boom microphones, continuity issues, etc.), Band of Brothers brings those emotions and experiences to the viewer as no other World War II film that I've watched.
