While inspecting the ruins of the war, Eugene accidentally discovered a family that had died tragically in a house on the roadside. Only a crying baby was left. Finally, before leaving, Eugene also discovered a woman who was still alive. Eugene, who had been baptized by the war, went from vigilance to cold-bloodedness to getting closer.

“The New York Times commented, "This is a work that makes people re-examine themselves and veterans. We saw the cruelty and horror of war, but we did not see the scars of the soldiers. When Renly Hall played When Eugene Sledge tenderly embraced the dying woman, the blending and opposition of life and death made the audience feel for the first time: how difficult it is to live..”
……
For the first time, the comments of authoritative media and netizens in the Yahoo community are on the same track. Although most media still refuse to put all the credit on Renly like the "Wall Street Journal" does, and always insist that the series The success is still due to the overall strength, especially the sublimation of the weight of ideas; but they still admit with one voice that Renly's performance has become a highlight that cannot be ignored in the second half of the series. This twenty-year-old newcomer shines like a comet..
IMDB's rating soared to 8.5 points, and the comprehensive media review surprisingly improved to 87 points - slightly ahead of "Band of Brothers". With the last episode left before "War in the Pacific", HBO finally has a long way to go. I breathed a sigh of relief, not only because professional film critics and netizens reached an agreement and praised the series; but also because the satisfaction of subscribers has returned to normal levels, even exceeding expectations.——
According to HBO’s official return interview, subscribers were more satisfied with “The Pacific” than “Band of Brothers.” Even leaving aside the unfavorable start, this was an unexpected result..
As mentioned in a previous Yahoo community discussion thread, "The Pacific War" is a set of miniseries, not a movie. Success or failure cannot be judged simply by the content of one episode, but should be examined as a whole; similarly, "The Pacific War" "War" focuses on three independent individuals. As long as the audience can establish a connection with the three characters, then this series is likely to have more influence on the audience than "Band of Brothers"”.
When "Pacific War" was all played, the enthusiasm of netizens was finally fully released..
At the end of the story, Eugene sat lonely under the sycamore tree in front of his home, looking blankly at the gradually reddening sky in the distance. Although he survived, there was only a broken wandering soul left. The once enthusiastic, energetic, sensitive, determined and hopeful son of the Leitch couple will remain on that blood-stained battlefield forever..
The raging wave of reflection completely detonated the Yahoo community, and the number of replies to the discussion thread hit a new high. Netizens could not wait to express their opinions on the "Pacific War", the war itself, and Eugene Sledge. opinions, and then find like-minded people to share them together. This wave of discussion on reflection has far exceeded that of the "Band of Brothers"”.
If "Band of Brothers" brings people excitement; then "Pacific War" brings people mixed thoughts..
“The IMDB rating number of "Pacific War" has exceeded 100,000 in one go, and the score has also stayed firmly at 8.6, successfully ranking among the top 70 of the 250 classic TV series list.
If compared with the 9.5-point drama "Brothers", this result has nothing to show off, but for "Pacific War", which had a bad start, such an ending is already gratifying. What's more, The next step is to see where the score will go after the DVD is released and more viewers watch the work. "Band of Brothers" took nine years to establish itself as the No. 1 IMDB drama series, leaving "Pacific War" to move forward. The road is still very long.
2001In 2006, "Band of Brothers" set off a craze for war works. People were talking about this wonderful work. Later, when the DVD was released, it even broke the sales record of the series' DVDs - a record that has been maintained for a long time. For nine years, no one has been able to break the record. This shows the profound influence of this series..
However, the real achievement of "Band of Brothers" is the reputation of the two golden partners Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, because this is the success of the entire series of works, not the success of a single individual. As time has passed, People will find that this series has gathered many well-known actors, including Damian Lewis, Kirk Acevedo, Michael Fassbender, Tom... Tom-Hardy, Simon-Pegg, James-McAvoy, etc..
When you revisit "Band of Brothers" many years later, you will find that this is a new star factory, and every familiar face will bring surprises. But in fact, for a long time after 2001, none of these actors were able to make the breakthrough from "Band of Brothers" "The benefits gained from this drama - no instant success, no piles of invitations, no career take-off, none of it..
2010In 2017, "Pacific War" once again awakened people's enthusiasm for the war theme. The discussion in the Yahoo community has remained high since the first episode. The development curve that first declined and then increased challenged the nerves of countless viewers, and in the end it still successfully created Although there is still controversy about whether this set of works can be called a classic, it is undeniable that the collaboration between Tom and Steven once again gave a wonderful performance..
However, "Pacific War" has made one actor stand out this time, "Eugene Sledgehammer". This character supported two-thirds of the series and touched the hearts of countless viewers, especially It was the touching scene in episode 9 that made the viewers waiting for the live broadcast shed tears. After the episode ended, the discussion focused on Eugene even went beyond the episode itself..
For a time, people began to ask: Who played Eugene Sledge? Who is the actor who gave a calm and atmospheric performance?？
Yes, his name is Renly Hall, he is a new actor, and he is the core soul of "War in the Pacific"... This information has been widely known in the premiere, through the introduction of Tom Hanks, If you search casually, you can see on major news that there was a lot of controversy about this new actor. Many people expressed their concerns and were not sure whether it would be appropriate to hand over the core role to a newcomer with no acting experience. is the right decision.
It now seems that Steven and Tom's desperate gamble led to the glory of the "Pacific War". That risky decision became a wise choice with a discerning eye..
But what about other information?？
I searched the entire Internet, but there was very little information about Renly. It was as if the actor really jumped out of the stone. He had no personal experience, no resume, and no one even knew his birthday— -Wait, does anyone know how old Renly is this year?？
Such chaos is filled with a sense of confusion and mystery. You must know that now that social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are fully popularized, everyone can become a news source, let alone personal information. Even elementary schools have Any embarrassment can be unearthed. As long as Renly's elementary school classmates or life friends take the initiative to come forward and tell some information after seeing the craze of the Internet, it is enough. The tip of the iceberg can become a breakthrough, and then the entire blueprint can be revealed..
But, no, nothing. Even though the Internet was abuzz and noisy during the two and a half months that "War in the Pacific" was broadcast, no one took the initiative to reveal Renly's information..
Weird, this is really weird. Did Renly live in a backward rural area before? The folk customs there are simple, no one likes gossip, and they are not keen on surfing the Internet. The information is closed and backward, so they are not aware of this craze at all? This is the only most reasonable explanation at present..
The discussion on the Internet did not encounter any setbacks. Instead, it became more and more intense. All signs showed that the biggest winner of the "Pacific War" was Renly. Renly made this series of works a success, and this series of works also made it a success. The Rise of Renly.
However, how long can this kind of popularity last? Netizens are always forgetful. The craze comes and goes even faster. What can this kind of craze bring to Renly? The enthusiasm for discussion on the Internet has a limited impact on the real-life film industry. What's more, "Pacific War" is just a miniseries. There is no box office pressure, no reputation burden, and no awards season involvement..
Does this all make sense for Hollywood?？
