I'm glad this was made, I'm so tired of the whole ETO coverage. Although I do have to admit I liked the characters in B.O.B. just a bit more then in The Pacific, but it's still a great watch by all means.
A good series and a very different flavour from Band of Brothers (which is still my favourite account of the two). I'd agree Snafu ("Situation Normal: All Fucked Up" or perhaps in the Marines, "Situation Normal: Army Fucked up") was a gem of a character to play, but Leckie and Sledge I think resonated the most with me. Joseph Mazello was a bloody revelation.
Descriptions from the book With the old breed from Peleliue and Okinawa is not quite correct, When we look at the beach of Okinawa Eugene B sledge writes in his book that they met very little resistance on the beach with only sporadic artillery. But The Pacific is quite diffrent. They show that there was heavy fighting at the beach, Something that did not fit from the book. But otherwise... This is a damn good series, And in my opinion its mutch better then Band of Brothers.
@NorthernNorwayDigger actually the beaches on okinawa were almost exactly like iwo jima
they got our troops on the beaches and lowerd our worry and then cut us up when we were last expected it and blew us to hell with artillary and the army went north and the marines fought south but actiually the marines had the easy part....
@femaleqari he talked like a fucking retard every time he spoke. half the stuff he said i couldnt understand. sledge's character was the best because it showed how he progressed throughout the series from becoming an ill young kid, to a ruthless and war torn man
yeh but Eastwood was brave enough to do something for the Japanese - they died for their country as well (not arguing about the regime - same for Jerry) and they suffered bravely just as much as the Yanks if not much more - they had no food for a start so they did suffer much more
Spielberg - Hanks ... I'd like to see more their films! About WWII. What about series about tank crew during European war 1944-1945. Or African-Italian period. There is no many films about battles in Tunisia or operation Torch.
Great series. WWII's brutality was unequaled. The European theatre and Pacific theatre each had their own "DNA" of misery, horror and violence. My dad still to this day can't talk about it after all of these decades. We can only imagine the what humans suffered through.
I hope 1 day there will come a movie from the japanese point of view. Really, just imagine how it was crawling in those small tunnels knowing a flamethrower will come any minute..
They are making a mini-series about the civil war. It's called "Cotton: if we knew it was gonna cause all of these problems, we would have picked it ourselves"
Supposed to be filmed in Harlem at the McDonalds!
By the sounds of it, they are going to make another part of this series probably dealing with the pilots that fought in the pacific. Cuase if you have read the book they included a group of pilots that went through midway on the USS Enterprise.
Interesting Trivia: the majority of the Japanese soldiers are actually Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Korean. The producers and staff had a hard time trying to recruit Japanese actors to play the role. Many Japanese refused to be part of the series.
@thesoutherncross100 it just reminds them of WWII and their defeat and like to forget about it, same with Band of Brothers, the majority of the German soldiers are actually French, Dutch, British and Polish. The krauts refuse to be part of the series.
HBO should make one about a german company of the 6th army. Following them from the plains of russia, Stalingrad all the way back to the battle of the buldge.

2 questions. 1) at around 10:30, the guy yelling at Leckie "We've got to get out of the beach", is this guy Hoosier? I rewatched the episode the other day and I couldn't tell (still can't actually). 2nd question: could someone tell me what kind of bonus there is in the Pacific dvd set? Is there something about boot camp like for BoB or something? Thanks for answering :)
To me this series was a major disappointment! Honestly they should have left out the Basilone story and stuck with leckie and sledge. Chose a different actor for sledge and not made the series so overly dramatic
@TheIncarceron Pardon me for having an opinion! Seriously, did you take time to consider what i thought or did you just say the first thing that came to mind? In no way did i say that i didn't respect their stories. Most people would agree that you shouldn't mix love and war and the pacific does that. Mind you, i think the combat is terrific, just the acting is uneven at times and overly dramatic. I didn't see the Basilone story relevant after the 2nd episode and Jon Seda was just awful!
@mofogek While i do agree with you, they've already made a ton of Vietnam War movies. I don't see how they could surprise anyone with a new story line. Not that it wouldn't be a great series, it's just that i think they've made enough. I kind of agree with the top thumbs up guy about making one about Korea cuz it's not well known.
@killerrj8 Charles Augustus Lindbergh wrote "The Wartime Journals of Charles A. Lindbergh" during Pacific War.Yes,the book includes the episode of the goled tooth of Japanese soldiers. And after WW2 American marines raped 20,000 Japanese women around Tokyo and Yokohama for 6 months. And Now,American marines rarely rape Japanese girls in Okinawa. It is big progress.
@killerrj8 Yes,you are right . But Spielberg conceal the fact of scooping Japanese gold teeth.He likes refined marine .I read that Director James Cameron plans a movie of Hiroshima in Wikipedia.Spielberg is a hypocrite,but Cameron is an artist.
@SOVIETasTheINVADER did u even watch the series ? In episode 6 there is that guy from the mortar from the 1st battalion that is in on Pelelieu after the landing and he took a knife and scooped some teeth out of the japanese
@killerrj8 Sorry, the Japanese soldier was still alive.But the marine seems to only cut the living Japanese soldier's mouth . He doesn't seem to scoop the Japanese gold teeth. By the way,there is a scene that Japanese soldiers make Japanese inhabitants shields for the soldiers in Okinawa. That is an absolute forgery of the history by Spielberg and Hollywood .Spielberg should apologize for Okinawa Defence Force.
@iTECHNOCENTRAL i'm certaily up for it. A war that divided a country in two, aftermath that affects the whole word now wtih all the tragedies happening in North Korea. I also hesitate, since I do not want the regualr American viewers to forever identify Korea with only the war, and not with the people and all the cultures Korea has to offer.
the thing about this series that really broke through to me and made it feel so real and so heartbreaking were the details, things that even when the vets tell their stories get lost. like the flies buzzing everywhere, the bodies that couldn't be removed and the inescapable dirt. the grime and mud and caked up dried blood, days of sweat just on every centimeter of these guys,their clothes, their hands. with that, you can just begin to picture the stench which is also never mentioned.
why no body makes a movie of japanese straglers after WWll.. that a good story how they survived in the junlge alone like lt. hiroo onoda in lubang island here in philippines didn't know that the war was over for almost 30 years,. thumbs-up if you agree...
Marines, home of the brave, and home of the tough, Semper Fi "Always faithful" Marines are tough!!. They are mighty and true, they protect our freedom for me and you, Honor Courage and comitment is so true, it's all about protecting the red , the white and the blue!!!. Marines will never retreat break or bend, they're ready to fight and defend. We are proud of our military, I’m proud to say, and God Bless this country, USMC OoooH Raahh all day!
@skyfiller12 Yeah but the show mash took place during the korean war and that show lasted 11 years, its interesting that one of the longest running shows in tv history took place over the course of only three years
Would LOVE to see a decent budget production regarding the Falklands war. Visuals alone would be superb....Have watched an Argentinian production from 2008 called Blessed By Fire - That is brilliant and well made. Really would like to see something from the British perspective though. Have read some amazing accounts.
we need a vietnam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thier has to be a tunnel rat in the group, my principle was a tunnle rat. i got to tal to him about shitt. he came across a whole hospital, he didnt say what he did after he found it, but i think its implied.
HBO really knows how t do things right The pacific, Band of brothers, Generation kill all amazing documentaries. God bless al that fought and died for the United states we all have you in our hearts.
The Pacific is the closest thing to being there with out actually being there. God Bless all the Troops of the 1st Marine Div and all of the Troops Past Present and Future who have given or will give the ultimate sacrafice to keep our Country Safe from tieraney God Bless you all and you're Famlies.God Bless America...
Only somebody that has no grasp on history would make the comment that America would be embarrassed by a series on Vietnam. The American military DID NOT LOSE the Vietnam war - Washington and its money-mongers did. I was there and we had many men and women who gave their lives believing their country was behind them. You sir are a fool and the embarrassment that you talk of.
@SEAVet69 i'm not anti-america or anything, but in my opinion 58,212 american deaths in south Vietnam alone, $686 billion spent on a war that achieved very little, especially since it was pretty much anti- everything the USA was built and based on under no circumstances, even if these so called Washington money-mongers gave funding to the military, true victory could never have been achieved. As part of victory is that yes you win, but the people are happy with it and the country is not cripled
@naomilygirl yeah ive heard of it but isnt that about the invasion of iraq in 2003? i heard it wasnt that good either probably cause hanks and steven did not do it.
@Devildog1591 Oh yes, I was mistaken, sorry. I don't know too much about it except it's not connected to BoB or The Pacific, so....I guess I'm not very interested. I'll probably still watch it though!
@TSbowker Well i do agree with Vietnam but the Falklands well i dont know. The Falklands was'nt that devastating then WWII, what i'm trying to say is that Falklands did'nt have much of an impact with military history as opposed to WWI II And Vietnam. Also another thing is that the Falklands did'nt have any US Involvement, so the chances of an American film company making something that involved the British are slim unfortunetly.
Whoa...

The Korean cease-fire was signed July 27, 1953, and has never
been replaced by a formal peace treaty. It was signed by North Korean & Chinese
military leaders on one side, and by the U.S.-led United Nations command on the
other. No South Korean representatives signed the agreement, which was always
intended as a temporary measure.
On May 27, 2009 North Korea announced that it no longer considers itself bound
by the cease-fire agreement.
Korea remains a very touchy subject.

Would LOVE to see a decent budget production regarding the Falklands war. Visuals alone would be superb....Have watched an Argentinian production from 2008 called Blessed By Fire - That is brilliant and well made. Really would like to see something from the British perspective though. Have read some amazing accounts.

The Peleliu landing scene is one of the most epic, well-done and powerful scenes I've seen in any war film. And I've seen a LOT of war films.

Only somebody that has no grasp on history would make the comment that America would be embarrassed by a series on Vietnam. The American military DID NOT LOSE the Vietnam war - Washington and its money-mongers did. I was there and we had many men and women who gave their lives believing their country was behind them. You sir are a fool and the embarrassment that you talk of.

@SEAVet69 i'm not anti-america or anything, but in my opinion 58,212 american deaths in south Vietnam alone, $686 billion spent on a war that achieved very little, especially since it was pretty much anti- everything the USA was built and based on under no circumstances, even if these so called Washington money-mongers gave funding to the military, true victory could never have been achieved. As part of victory is that yes you win, but the people are happy with it and the country is not cripled

@naomilygirl yeah ive heard of it but isnt that about the invasion of iraq in 2003? i heard it wasnt that good either probably cause hanks and steven did not do it.
Devildog1591 9 months ago
@Devildog1591 Oh yes, I was mistaken, sorry. I don't know too much about it except it's not connected to BoB or The Pacific, so....I guess I'm not very interested. I'll probably still watch it though!

@naomilygirl its all good. yeah for sure i feel the same way
Devildog1591 9 months ago
@TSbowker Well i do agree with Vietnam but the Falklands well i dont know. The Falklands was'nt that devastating then WWII, what i'm trying to say is that Falklands did'nt have much of an impact with military history as opposed to WWI II And Vietnam. Also another thing is that the Falklands did'nt have any US Involvement, so the chances of an American film company making something that involved the British are slim unfortunetly.
