The Pacific (2010)
The Pacific (2010) follows a U.S. Marine Corps squad during their campaign against the Japanese Empire in WWII. Created by the same team as Band of Brothers, it portrays the struggles of ordinary soldiers during war. This fast-paced series appeals to action enthusiasts, but also showcases the emotional bonds between Marines on the battlefield. However, unlike its ‘older brother’ Band of Brothers, The Pacific takes a unique approach by delving into the lives of soldiers who were chosen to return home and promote war bonds. Through this, it explores the journey of these men from initial excitement to eventual regret and even shame towards wanting to rejoin the battle for their comrades or country.
Produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks, The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries that debuted in the United States on March 14. Serving as a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers, the show follows the actions of the United States Marine Corps during the Pacific War. Originally budgeted at $100 million, it ended up costing over $200 million, earning it the title of most expensive television miniseries at that time. According to reports, approximately A$134 million was spent in Australia and an estimated 4,000 jobs were created, resulting in a boost of A$180 million for the economy.
