Mini Review #22: Band of Brothers 1x7 "The Breaking Point" (Patreon)
Content
This was definitely my favourite episode so far. The first half of the episode feels alleviating as our characters joke, talk, and hang around each other. It's nice to have the peace and quiet because once the second half of the episode hits, your heart will be in your mouth the entire time.
Death was the theme of this episode. Not so much death in terms of "you" dying but more in terms of witnessing so much death. The death of fellow soldiers, friends, and men they have talked to every day of their lives dying instantly and helplessly. How does that change a person and how does that affect a man? This episode answers those questions in some of the most effective storytelling possible.
