Band of Brothers is playing on TV tonight. The series was made a long time ago and yet they're showing it now. The first time I watched Band of Brothers was around 2 years ago. I was staying in level 1 and a half of A block, old Kent Ridge Hall (Why, is it level 1 and a half? Well, we actually call it split. You know how stairs usually have that one area of turning point? I'm having difficulty explaining this

Anyway, they made that area bigger, so that they could squeeze in 3 single rooms and 1 double room and I was staying in one of that single room). Back to Band of Brothers, I am not a fan of war movie, and the first thought I usually have about a war movie is: it's gonna be boring, but I was pretty bored myself and I needed some entertainment so I decided why not give it a try with Band of Brothers (a lot of my guy friends were saying that it was very good). So thanks to NUS LAN and the person who was putting the series on the network (I forget whom, anyway Blessed it be)

I was able to watch the whole episodes of the series. Scepticism accompanied the 1st episodes; I just wasn't sure that I'm gonna like it. It was still following the 2nd episodes, and the next, and the next, but I don't know why...I kept on downloading them and I always gave time for 1 episode before I go to sleep.

Why I was so fascinated with the series? Well...Not because of the guys

you can hardly find any girl in 1 hour of the episode. I guess why I find the series so good is because the Band of Brothers. For me, it was something really really admiring. It's something that I hope I'll be able to experience in real life. I don't like the war, but in situation where your life and death is something you want to share for your fellow troop...well...it's just so moving, isn't it? And that is why, I'm gonna watch Band of Brothers again

First Episode: Currahee. David Schwimmer is in it. I'm not saying that he's a bad actor, but maybe I see too much Ross in him, that even if he was playing a totally different role, I still can see Ross in the character he played, and so I kinda feel that's a bit weird. He supposed to be a very strict guy and yet I can see the silliness and the goofiness in his expression. In the later part of this episode where he was actually in training combat with Easy Company, it was kinda silly and sad to see him not being able to make the right decision

I kinda feel that's how Ross would react if he was in that position

And the conclusion of this blog is: Band of Brothers is a really great series. Salute!
