Title: Sleazy
Product review: Tom Hanks and HBO both boast that they're honoring our Pacific Theatre vets. The film proves otherwise. I've read both E.B. Sledge and Robert Leckie's books about the Marines in Pacific. The books With the Old Breed and Strong Men Armed do not once go into the pornographic depictions delivered by Tom Hanks and HBO. HBO totally missed the mark. The film could have better honored the men by leaving out the raw sex scenes. It could have also focused more on the goodness of the men inherent in this Greatest Generation instead of embellishing and exaggerating the minority few poor traits that may have existed. This series will make you come away with less admiration for our vets than they deserve. The licentiousness was completely inappropriate and took away from any good the film boasted that it delivered. I recommend instead to read the books and stay away from this lackluster production.
