Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt is generally thought in the Army that Winters deserved a Medal of Honor for his attack at Brecourt Manor instead of the Distinguished Service Cross, but there was another Medal of Honor given in another D-Day action and there was a concern about giving out too many.
- GoofsIn "Day of Days", during the assault on the Brecourt Manor guns when "Buck" Compton throws a grenade at a fleeing German soldier which appears to explode on impact with him. This is no goof, as Compton (a baseball player at the university) timed the throw so the grenade exploded when close to the German. The grenades had timed fuses, and didn't explode on impact. (See Ambrose, Stephen, "Band of Brothers" page 97.)
- Quotes
Richard D. Winters: Flash!
Pvt. John 'Cowboy' Hall: Shit!
Richard D. Winters: I don't think that's the correct reply, trooper. I say flash, you say thunder.
Pvt. John 'Cowboy' Hall: Yes, sir. Thunder, sir.
Featured review
Good Storyline
On the D-Day, the allied paratroopers jump behind the German lines and the Easy Company is scattered in Normandy and many of the survivors have lost their weapons. Sgt. Richard D. Winters gathers a couple of soldiers and they head to the Battalion. The squad is assigned to destroy three German cannons in their first war experience. Will they succeed?
"Band of Brothers" wannabe "Combat!" but there is a great difference between the shows. "Combat!" was created by Robert Altman and released seventeen years after the end of World War II, in a time that there was no CGI. Therefore the fight scenes are extremely realistic and believable. Further, the characters are well developed and with human attitudes. "Band of Brothers" has the usual exaggeration of recent films, with excessive use of CGIs, and so far a poor character development.
"Day of Days" has a storyline in general good, but the scene where the American soldier executes the German POWs is a stupid and not necessary war crime. If the viewer consider that the crime was nearby the Battalion, the soldier should at least go to Martial Court, which was usual in those years. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Day of Days"
