We happened to our past is part of our future. We can’t ever forget what the lesson has brought us today. The true is about to reveal. Based on true story,The Pacific is created to show to the audience about the sacrifices that have been made by those warriors in World War Two.

World War Two has long gone in today’s history. I’ve been watching the brand new HBO’s Miniseries “The Pacific”. There is nothing but a serious war between U.S’s Marine and Japanese’s Soldiers. I am not the huge fan of the Band of Brothers but this time I would agreed that THE PACIFIC is part of my favourite show. Behind the scene, Band of Brothers producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg re-team to produce this ten-hour World War II miniseries based on the books With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie. Additional interviews conducted by the filmmakers in collaboration with Hugh Ambrose (son of late Band of Brothers author Stephen E. Ambrose) detail the arduous odysseys of U.S. Marines Sledge, Leckie, and John Basilone from their first skirmishes in Guadalcanal to their eventual return to American soil following V-J Day. Of all the episode, my most favourite is part 8. Something about this episode that teaches me about destiny.

Part 8 – IWO JIMA



USA, John Basilone requests re-assignment from his bond promotion duties and is transferred to Camp Pendleton as an instructor. There he meets Sgt. Lena Riggi, who is in charge of the mess hall. She's no pushover and it takes several attempts before she will even go out with him. Basilone's enlistment is up in a few months and he must decide if he is going to return to civilian life or sign up for another tour and accompany his men to Iwo Jima, their next assignment. He and Lena decide they are going to make the most of the time they have together.



Increasingly frustrated by his role campaigning for war bonds, Basilone convinces the Marines to allow him to train troops headed for combat. Transferred to Camp Pendleton, he enjoys a whirlwind romance with an initially reluctant female Marine, Lena Riggi. But the couple know they are living on borrowed time, as Basilone is soon to take part in the Marine landing on Iwo Jima. He got married to Lena Riggi and the luck was temporary. Sgt. Basilone is dead during PUVUVU’s war.
