Yeah, I thought the production sank into "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll" and "Life's a B**** and then you die," the typical "let's sell some TV time" stuff. Hanks admitted that he was jaded and war-weary and thought the potential audience was the same. By contrast, though gritty and reality-based, BOB ended up with the feeling that it was all worth it, and though the participants were scarred, they realized they had accomplished something. "The Pacific" reduced it to myopic, individual terms, simple survival, with no acknowledgment of the bigger picture. Except in the case of "We Were Soldiers" and BOB, Hollywood has rarely been able to "get it right." Oh, well. Par for the course.
