Fand #ThePacific beeindruckend. Und für eine US-amerikanische Kriegsserie recht pathosarm.

More fog.
That summer as told to the world by Mark Twain.
That summer of tourists in overpriced polar fleece who believed Hollywood movies.
Come in September instead, trust me.
Or are you really looking to escape the heat…cause we got that.

After watching #ThePacific Thursday and Friday night, I watched the 10-episode run of #BandofBrothers yesterday.

Aside from being a decade earlier, 2001 vs 2010, Band of Brothers laid the stereotypes on much thicker for its characters. (Most annoying was the Temu Sopranos character, Guarnere.)

Just finished #ThePacific after watching it past 2 days. It's a great miniseries on Pacific Theater of World War II from Spielberg & Tom Hanks.

It's similar to Band of Brothers from 10 years earlier (2001 vs 2010) but for European Theater... but from 101st POV, of Army, not 1st Marines POV.

The Pacific meets sand. From the minor cliff/bluffs at Pescadero on a coastal drive up Hwy1 from Carmel (it’s all likely in fog now).

The Pacific from a trail in the sandy cliffs at Fort Funston, San Francisco, California

The Discovery of the Pacific

They lean against the cooling car, backs pressed
Upon the dusts of a brown continent,
And watch the sun, now Westward of their West,
Fall to the ocean. Where it led they went.

Kansas to California. Day by day
They travelled emptier of the things they knew.
They improvised new habits on the way,
But lost the occasions, and then lost them too.

One night, no one and nowhere, she had woken
To resin-smell and to the firs' slight sound,
And through their sleeping-bag had felt the broken
Tight-knotted surfaces of the naked ground.

Only his lean quiet body cupping hers
Kept her from it, the extreme chill. By degrees
She fell asleep. Around them in the firs
The wind probed, tiding through forked estuaries.

And now their skin is caked with road, the grime
Merely reflecting sunlight as it fails.
They leave their clothes among the rocks they climb,
Blunt leaves of iceplant nuzzle at their soles.

Now they stand chin-deep in the sway of ocean,
Firm West, two stringy bodies face to face,
And come, together, in the water's motion,
The full caught pause of their embrace.
