The Pacific Review

The Pacific is a HBO mini-series about the battles between America and Japan in the second world war. The series is focused on three characters; John Basilone, Robert Lecky and Ugeine Sledge. All three characters are real people who were involved in the war between Japan and America. The series jumps from character to character dfrom timte to time experiencing different situations and battles throughout withoput losing focus of interest in the audience. The fact that the series is based on non-fiction makes it even more astonashijng to believe what takes place in the 10 part mini series. The sheer brutality experienced in the mini series is jaw dropping and portrays the dark side of war to the audience with mental tolls being experienced and great loss throughout. The Pacific grabs your emotions and shakes them brutally throughout the whole series as they experience exactly what each character feels at every stage. The series takes you on the journey of characters from home to war and back home and tthe bloody battles they toil through. The series also depicts what happeened to soldiers after the war and how mentally scaring they things experienced was and the toll it takes on them.This personally is one of my best things I have ever watched as it is an emotional journey and each character I understood and become attatched to. It is an experience like never before watching this mini series. Even the title sequence at the start of each episode is breath taking.
