Marvelous metaphor. The visuals of the flying charcoal fragments are also timed with the drums to represent the debris and shrapnel hurled about in combat. They subside only in the last few seconds, as the camera pulls back to focus on the Marine carrying a wounded brother off the field and the music slowly fades.

2:28 That last picture of him carrying the wounded soldier gets me every-time. It's amazing how something so simplistic can have such a profound effect on you. "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." John 15:13

At my late 30s i can now say that BoB and The Pacific have completely formed my character and who i am nowadays. Joined the paratroopers cause of Bob to experience just a glimpse of what the first paratroopers went through. The Pacific though, it somehow took a deep dive in the depths of my heart, it reminds me of my father who has passed away 1 month ago aged 89. Still a child when he saw the Nazis entering Athens. I don't know why, perhaps because during his last days, seeing me as a grown man, he started saying stories of what his child eyes had experienced. Awful actions from the Germans and heroic actions from our grandfathers who were doing the outmost to either help their fellow allies or hurt the conquerors in any possible way. No matter how everyone perceives these two epic miniseries, for me they were a revelation. An awakening of how to become a better man, like all those young boys who were chosen to become the greatest generation of our times.

Every time I listen to this song, I feel my heart wrench and a burning passion to do something, make this world a better place, overcome this feeling of powerlessness. I don't quite know how to put it into words, but I've come to truly appreciate the soldiers who've fought in this war. I will never know what sorts of cruel, torturous paths these people may have taken, since I didn't experience it myself. Perhaps it's thanks to them that I am here today, living a safe, peaceful life.

Here is how I perceive the difference between BoB and Pacific. Band of Brothers focused on Easy company, and how the dynamics of Easy Company evolved during the course of the war in the European Theatre, but didn't necessarily focus on how any one individual changed (with the exception of maybe Richard Winters). The Pacific, on the other hand, really captures the psychological effects of the war on the main characters, and how the war changes them on a deep fundamental level. Just my two sense.

The pacific war was more brutal, in modern warfare, a defeated army retreats to another position. But in islands, that were mostly cut off by the US navy, the japanese had nowhere to retreat, and in order to achieve their objectives more efficiently in tiny islands, the US had a no prisioner policy and the japanese knew that, so they fought to their deaths. This made every battle, very brutal, constant combat, prolonged time in the front lines, and then the tropical diseases, very humid weather and heat. They could not be pulled in off duty to bases in towns or cities.

My Great Uncle was a captain in the war and was a beach master on Omaha. He went in before the first wave in the attack. He directed the landing on that beach and helped soldiers out of the boats. He was one of the first American soldiers to land in France that day. He also helped land General Patton in the invasion of Sicily and Salerno. He also served in North Africa. On Omaha, he was standing under heavy German fire. Somehow he made it out alive that day. He later served in the Korean War. He served in the Army in WW2, the Coast Guard in Korea, and then served in the Marine Corps, and Navy. He went to VMI and graduated at age 22 and was 35 in 44. After the war, he became a sheriff.

I always look at BoB and The Pacific as two different takes of WWII viewed from the eyes of soldiers in different theaters. BoB focused far more on individual stories of soldiers and their friendship that helped them see through the war. The Pacific showed the brutality of the war and how it slowly eats the humanity and brings out the savagery even among the most gentle of souls.

Why can't people appreciate all the things that each show did right, and stop comparing them? The Pacific isn't supposed to be like Band of Brothers. BoB, while still having it's fair share of disturbing and violent moments, did not capture the full picture of the horrors of war. True it correctly depicted the concentration camps and the fact that people were dying left and right. However the Pacific captured this violence and insanity perfectly. It showed the Marines lack of supplies, lack of ammo, lack of morale, the mass death of hundreds on both sides, the madness war causes - and I don't think I need to remind you about the slaughtering of Okinawans in Part 9. Also, I liked all the (main/likable) character in both shows.

I'm in the minority that prefers TP. TP had better, grittier battle scenes and I like how it focused on the mental hardships of war and didn't try to portray the US Marines as perfect angels, but human beings who were gradually dehumanised by the war and suffered from psychological injury as well as physical. To me, BOB felt too cheesy and "feel good" in a lot of ways (it seems all European theatre WW2 films tend to do that). THAT being said, BOB was a lot better written as a story, since it focused on the same Company of paratroopers from start to finish, whereas TP tries to tell the stories of 3 men in completely different regiments who never met each other and had different comrades, I think that was a mistake. It should've focused solely on either Leckie or Sledge and the men they served with, Basilone's story, otoh, would've made a better feature length film than mini series, since he spent two years out of action on the war bonds tour, and got assigned to a different unit for the Iwo Jima battle.

Personally think that in terms of Emotion , the intro from the pacific truly captured what was the pacific war like. The Chalk used sometimes represent Supplies and Men , as more and more of the picture is drawn , the more the war taken place , but at the same time , the amount of supplies dwindled ( Represented by the use of more Chalk to Complete more Drawings as it took place ) , And at the same time , the amount of men that died ( The Trails that the chalk left and the parts of the chalk that completely broke off during the drawings ) . It took me awhile to finally realize this , i love BOB In terms of its series , its episodes . But for the intro , the Pacific just Killed it.

I'm not even American and this brings a tear to my eye , all those boys sent into battle, makes your heart ache how many never returned home to their family or sweetheart , ever since I was a boy I always dreamed of being an American Citizen , I guess this video brings feelings like that to the surface, I don't know ............ one of the few videos that makes me cry I guess, the music, the faces with a thousand yard look .......... thank you for your service, the Greatest Generation , God Bless You All 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 ❤️ ❤️

When I see war movies, my age group think Im boring coz I all war movies contain is death n destruction. Little do they know I only see masterpieces like these that have such deep emotions and sentiments hidden in the visual story telling. This is why after a certain time Ive decided never to watch a war movie with other people. Its rare to have someone with the right perspective on these movies.

I don't know but this intro always gives me a heroic vibe knowing that these men had balls of steel to face an enemy like no other.

My great uncle died on the USS Johnston in the phillipines in 1943. My grandpa fought in the pacific in 1945 in oakanwa and told my dad(who was named Tom after his older brother who died in the phillipines)told my dad his brother was either eaten by sharks or drowned in the ocean. And my grandpas little brother didnt fight in ww2 like his 2 older brothers did, he joined the marines in 1949 and fought in korea and vietnam making a career of the marines and retired in 1969 as a captain.

The USS Johnston is the deepest recorded shipwreck ever found. Just thought I'd tell a little fun fact.

I can NEVER SKIP this shows intro....This song plus the intro together just release pure emotion...I just think about everything these men went through during this insane war...All these people had lives, everyone unique...but when the world is at war and tyranny is approaching closer n closer...These men didn't hesitate one bit. All the death these men saw right in front of them and they didn't quit...they kept going... sacrifice after sacrifice. It makes me so damn proud to live in a nation who had such an impact during the War.

The Few. The Proud. The Marines.

very nice music, lets me remember the brave men who sacrificed their lives

My Dad was turned down by all branches of the Service in 1926, but then in m1943 when he was 35 yrs old they took him into the Navy. He was a Boiler-Tender on a Battleship and earned 13 Battle-Stars. Although he wasn't happy he had to go, he was still proud of his Service, In 1963 I joined the Navy, went to Viet-Nam in 1965 and Received a Purple Heart for my Service and like my Dad, am proud of my Service to my Country. God Bless and RIP, Dad.

I asked a war veteran if he was a war hero. He said, "No. But I served in a company of heroes." I asked, "What branch?" He said "H Company, 1st Marine Corps." I realized I was talking to a man who might have been with Sledge. I asked if he knew a "Eugene Sledge." He said, "We called him Sledgehammer."

Im going to add this if you watch the hbo series of band of brothers at the end major dick winter says that hi grandson asked him a question and he said ''Grandpa were you a hero in the war, Grandpa said no but i served in a company of heroes'' so I think he got it from there to be honest.

This intro gets me emotional every time I see it. Might be one of the best intros to a show ever made.

America's greatest generation. We will never know the extent of the horrors they experienced. None of them expected to be part of the worst war the human race has ever seen. we can remember their sacrifice, and hope that never again is such a horror inflicted on the world

In my opinion these miniseries and films about WWII should be watched in classes. I watched a video on Facebook a few days ago in which young adults were asked "Who bombed Pearl Harbor?" None of them said Japan (most answers were "America" or "Germany"). I also think it's important, especially as Americans, to teach children about 9/11. Only 14 states teach this topic. This, as a future Historian teacher, makes me really sad.

Man this opening is so beautiful. It almost seems to capture every moment of the war. In the beginning it seems so sad representing the darkest, early years of the war. then at around 2:04 feels like qhen the tide started to turn in the war with that triumphant crescendo. Hans Zimmer is a genius

Have to admit, this had me choked up

This music has so much emotion in it. It's crazy how he can capture all these emotions in a 2 min intro

This intro made me cry so emotional

The opening alone…wow. As a Marine Grunt, chills. Semper Fi!!!

“I was just doing my duty”. My dad, Cpl Donald Warren Martin, US Army WWII 1922-2021. Rest in The Peace of Jesus Christ, Dear Daddy 🇺🇸🙏🏻✝️❤️🇺🇸✝️

10 years?! I remember the first time I watched this and had a massive lump in my throat. Rest In Peace to those young men and thank you for everything you did for us.

Such a powerful and meaningful opening sequence!

Probably the best Miniseries intro ever. And that's saying a lot because there are a lot of great Miniseries openings.

My grandfather was a tail gunner in WW2, fought in the pacific. He survived, but he died of old age when I was around 5. I wish I could talk to him now and thank him. I joined the US Military at 18, right out of highschool. It's been 6 years now, I serve for him.

Possibly one of the best intros to any tv series. I can’t honk of any other tv intro that makes me cry every time I see it. Perhaps the first Season of the Star Trek : Picard. That too had a great intro!

The Pacific is probably one of the best shows that depicts the Pacific Theatre. It shows the brotherhood that these soldiers shared, the horrors that they endured, and the sacrifices they made.

I like BoB more but this song.... Damn gives me chils.

Makes me think how hard they fought, what they’ve seen, they’re brothers dead and others charging into battle. Sad what happened to basilone. One of the best soldiers to ever live.

Every time we choose not to vote we diminish what these brave men and women did. They died to preserve this essential freedom. No excuses. Vote.

this is one of those intros you dont skip

I'm Brazilian and proud for my country have fought by freedom on the Italian battlefield. I have friends who had them family members fighting for us. We always remember of ours. Thank you for you service!

Just the song makes me cry watching the series for me was very difficult I had an Uncle and cousins who served in the Pacific all my other uncles and cousins served in Europe so watching both series had a great affect and respect for all who served RIP all who served and thank you for all you did 🙏🏼🌷🥀🌺🌹💐
