The Pacific (2010 - 2010)

What does war look like to those who face it head-on? American marines during World War II. The screenplay is based on the memories of real participants in the battles against the Japanese on the Solomon Islands, where fighting took place simultaneously on land, water, and in the air. The powerful filming of battle scenes and special effects (the series has an impressive budget). The skill with which producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks combine the personal stories of the heroes with the epic backdrop of war places "The Pacific" on par with the classics of the war drama genre - films like Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan," Clint Eastwood's "Letters from Iwo Jima," and Terrence Malick's "The Thin Red Line."
