[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3120324, member: 23"] I think there was. I think it was motivated by the attack on Pearl Harbor. After the attack, how many Americans quit their jobs and went to the recruiting office just for some payback. Remember the scene where the Marine was trying to enroll in college and the girl was asking about his education and experience? She didn’t care for his answers and he was turning to walk away, he turned back around and told her “you want to know what I’m good at,....killing japs and I’m damn good at it”. He said it like he hated the Japanese and was proud of it. Could Hanks have been referring to all of the Japanese people who were living in the US that were taken into custody and sent to camps? I remember when Gulf-1 started there was talk of rounding up everyone in the US from that corner of the sand box and one of the first comments was “we did that with the Japanese when WWII started and look what happened”. It’s getting more frequent that Actors are trying to push issues or political agendas. An award winner goes on stage to accept an award and then preaches their current cause using more than their allotted time instead of graciously accepting the award. I think the overestimate their political importance. Just because they’re actors and get a lot of attention doesn’t mean all of their fans agree with what they say. I enjoyed both of the series, but with Band of Brothers I didn’t care for the way they did the photography. Most of it was almost Black and White. I would have preferred the actual coloring. [/QUOTE]
