This is a post of mini series "Band of Brothers".
This piece work is trying ot tell us this series is about battlafield and its tence, base on the dark, grey background(land, sky, clouds etc.). The title of "band of brothers" is clearly presented by balck and white, let us know what we are looking for.
The story is about soldiers of US 101th airborne during the WWII. It's not only about battle fight or action, but also about justice, brave, hounor and love. Soldiers from EASY were people just like us. However they were the best soldiers in combet.
The idea that put 13 soldiers between heavy clouds and black earth impress me. There is line by Lt. Winters, "We are airborne, we should be surrounded." The heavy grey clouds and black earth just like Nazis surrounded them in the war. And the only one they can dependent on is the man next to them.
Also the layout built a distance between these soldiers and us, but we can still see them, which means the story is long ago, but still rememberable.
