hbo 影集 The Pacific 太平洋戰爭

第三集：

1. 這一群海陸第一師經過島上被包圍浴血混戰的日子後接到命令到澳洲墨爾本去整補休息一下準備出發進入下一戰。
2. 本集主軸發生在 Leckie  身上，他在墨爾本認識一位希臘正妹，而那一位希臘正妹也愛上他，兩人也確實度過一小段美好日子，當 Leckie 認為他的真愛已經來臨時卻被正妹給發卡，原因是她知道 Leckie 可能回不來，有可能會戰死，她跟他的家人無法承受這樣的打擊…
3. 另外一線劇情是在講 Basilone，在上集拿一把機槍幹掉一群人手都起水泡，羅斯福總統感念他的英勇事蹟頒給他勳章一枚，並且請他回國演講，目的是要賣美債籌措軍費。
4. 這一集所有美軍都雞犬升天，上集還在瓜島浴血奮戰而在這一集都入溫柔鄉，因為澳洲男生都被送去非洲打仗，所以澳洲鬧男慌 XD
5. 台灣四月三日晚上九點在 hbo 將首撥第一集，喜歡的朋友不要錯過。

第二集：海陸第一師被日本孤立在 Guadalcanal 上，日軍準備要將海陸第一師包圍後殲滅搶回機場，但是海陸第一師頑強抵抗，在島上沒有補給，只有碩果僅存的糧食跟武器，還有險惡的叢林等著他們，這一集日軍突進攻擊的那一幕我還以為主角群會被全滅，但是靠著一把機槍掃射竟然幹掉一堆敵人，畢竟是老美拍的影集，英雄主義一定要有，本集結尾時海陸第一師準備要撤離 Guadalcanal 由另外的單位駐守，我一邊看一邊想 HBO 下一部戲該不會是要準備拍越戰英雄吧 XD

第一集觀後感：一開始跟以前的 bob 一樣會請退伍老兵講述當時戰場上的實況，進入本片後講述日軍在轟炸珍珠港後的美國宣布參戰，而日本為了切斷美軍在太平洋的補給，所以選擇 Guadalcanal 準備要蓋機場，故事就是從這裡開始，片中一開始一群年輕人慶祝自己加入海軍陸戰隊要保家衛國，而家人也很驕傲自己的兒子兄弟可以代表國家去打仗 ((媽的！跟台灣差真多)) ，之後可以看到一位父親對兒子要上戰場的不捨，對這一個鏡頭非常喜歡，然後就一群不知戰場險惡的年親人搭船去戰場，當然戰場中的險惡不是每一個人都能適應，本集中會看到堂堂一個隊長竟然在槍林彈雨的情況下躺在傘兵坑裡面發抖…

這一部宣稱耗資 1.5 億美金打造的10小時迷你影集實在是非常誇張，但是看到第一集中的裝備跟場面就知道這果然是值得，如果不喜歡血肉模糊場面的觀眾可能是考慮一下是不是適合觀看此片，因為實在是很血腥！

第四集的預告：開始要進入叢林戰，預告中 leckie 好像被關警閉，該不會是跟被發卡後的心理情緒有關。。

hbo 要在2010年再度推出二次大戰的迷你影集 The Pacific，繼上次諾曼地大空降(band of brother)後史蒂芬史匹柏與湯姆漢克斯再次聯手合作，昨天看到預告片真是讓我非常開心，本片預計有十小時大概是十集吧，故事開頭是描述太平洋上的美軍在索羅門群島上對抗日軍的故事，如果有興趣的人記得明年要注意一下hbo頻道，不知道這一部戲要推出什麼豪華版的dvd。

Production has begun in Australia on THE PACIFIC. Shooting through mid-2008, the epic ten-hour miniseries is executive produced by Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman, the creative team behind the Emmy®-winning 2001 HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers."

THE PACIFIC is produced by HBO Films in association with Playtone and DreamWorks Television. The production is based at Melbourne Central City Studios in Melbourne, Victoria, with filming taking place in and around Melbourne, where U.S. troops camped in 1943, and multiple locations in Far North Queensland. Kary Antholis, senior vice president, HBO Films, is the executive in charge of the project. THE PACIFIC is scheduled to debut on HBO in 2009.

The miniseries tracks the intertwined odysseys of three U.S. Marines – Robert Leckie (played by James Badge Dale), Eugene Sledge (Joe Mazzello) and John Basilone (Jon Seda) – across the vast canvas of the Pacific. The extraordinary experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first clash with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, through the impenetrable rain forests of Cape Gloucester, across the blasted coral strongholds of Peleliu, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, through the killing fields of Okinawa, to the triumphant, yet uneasy, return home after V-J Day.

Carl Franklin (HBO’s "Rome"), Jeremy Podeswa (HBO’s "Six Feet Under"), Tony To (HBO’s "Band of Brothers"), Tim Van Patten (HBO’s "The Sopranos") and Graham Yost (HBO’s "From the Earth to the Moon") will direct episodes. Writers and additional directors will be announced as they are confirmed.

In addition to James Badge Dale ("The Departed"), Joe Mazzello ("Without a Trace") and Jon Seda ("Kevin Hill"), actors featured in THE PACIFIC include (in alphabetical order) Akos Armont, Jon Bernthal ("The Office"), Joshua Biton ("National Treasure"), Adam Booth ("Doctors"), Simon Bossell ("Hotel de Love"), Laurence Breuls ("Ghost Rider"), Tom Budge ("Last Train to Freo"), Linda Cropper ("McLeod’s Daughters"), Brendan Fletcher ("Tideland"), Eamon Farren ("The Outsider"), Leon Ford (HBO’s "Tsunami: The Aftermath"), Daniel Frederiksen ("Stingers"), Scott Gibson ("Lucky Number Slevin"), Joshua Helman, Ashton Holmes ("A History of Violence"), Andrew Lees, Rami Malek ("The War at Home"), Martin McCann ("Closing the Ring"), Ian Meadows ("Home and Away"), Toby Moore ("Joanne Lees: Murder in the Outback"), Rohan Nichol ("All Saints"), Henry Nixon ("Happy Feet"), Keith Nobbs ("The Black Donnellys"), Annie Parisse ("Law & Order"), Sam Parsonson ("Love My Way"), Jacob Pitts ("The Novice"), Rupert Reid ("The Matrix Reloaded"), Mitch Ryan, William Sadler ("The Shawshank Redemption"), Gary Sweet ("Down in Splendor"), Anna Torv ("Young Lions"), Sandy Winton ("Two Twisted"), Dylan Young and Ashley Zukerman. Additional actors will be announced as they are confirmed.

THE PACIFIC is based on the books "With the Old Breed," by Eugene Sledge, which was hailed by historian Paul Fussell as "one of the finest memoirs to emerge from any war," and "Helmet for My Pillow," by Robert Leckie (recipient of the Marine Corps Combat Correspondents Annual Award), as well as original interviews conducted by the filmmakers. Continuing the World War II oral history work begun by his father Stephen E. Ambrose (author of the book "Band of Brothers"), Hugh Ambrose serves as a consultant on the miniseries.

THE PACIFIC is produced by HBO Films in association with Playtone and DreamWorks Television; executive producers, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Gary Goetzman; co-executive producers, Tony To, Graham Yost; supervising producer, Bruce McKenna; producer, Gene Kelly; co-producers, Robert Schenkkan, George P. Pelecanos, Michelle Ashford.
