Band of Brothers Rewatch Parts 1 - 3

[impala_evolved]

The retro_icontest theme 15 is Love at First Watch and that happens to coincide with the Tumblr HBO WWII Rewatch. Accordingly, here are some Band of Brothers icons. I'm hoping to get to Part Four this week and therefore stay on schedule :D

Part One: Currahee


Round 15 Icon themes: Memorable Quote/Crowning Moment of Awesome (Winters realizing all his Noncomms defended him)/A character you connected to (Lieb)

I love the way this ep showed the flashback to training, and how it's bookended with Winters (and Nix) preparing mentally for the jump. Liebgott is still my favorite.

Part Two: Day of Days


Round 15 Icon theme: OTP

I saw some similarities between this episode and Masters of the Air w/ a bunch of Army guys all spread out and trying to navigate the chaos. This Nix/Winters scene is probably the one that turned me into a shipper.

Part Three: Carentan


Round 15 Icon themes: the moment you knew/character development/characterization

Harry! He's the star of this episode, and I can't believe I hardly noticed that before. This episode's theme of fighting through fear is well executed. The leaders of Easy have to push forward and act as an example for everyone else, and they all do it in their own way: Speirs believing he's already dead, Harry seeing it all as a game, Bull and Buck being hyper-focused, and then of course Dick constantly strategizing.



Round 15 Icon theme: setting

The scene at the end with Mrs. Lamb makes a great point about the amount of guys they lost - but could they have made her seem a little less oblivious? She must realize some, if not all, of those guys are dead.

I re-watched Band of Brothers a few months ago, and it's such an amazing show! And these are so cool! I especially like the crops and "forest-y" coloring on Carentan set, also composition on 3 is great!

Band of Brothers holds up so well! Thanks so much for the comments. It was fun to really bring out the greens in the Part III caps.

Thanks so much! The green tones over at monthlyinspo were very inspiring for Part 3.

Yay, I'm glad you were inspired by the theme and it coincided with the tumblr challenge. :DDD

I love the distinct colorings for each part!

I especially love the crop in the first icon, the composition (and textwork) in the ones for part 2, and the crop in the second one for part 3.

Thanks so much for letting me know! The Part Three screencaps were especially inspiring.
