Irmãos de Guerra (2001)
Finished Series #21
Season 1
Episode Ten - Os Pontos
I really wanted to like it like the overwhelming majority and unfortunately that didn't happen.
I watched the ten episodes without memorizing the names of the characters with the faces of actors, with the exception of Winter who is the closest to a protagonist that this series shows, then it came to the end where the real people spoke and showed the names and I could only associate Winter's name with the actor who played it.
I know it's supposed to appear that in a war there are a lot of people and that we can't remember all their names (that's obvious, right?), but in a series (even if it's based on facts) there has to be a connection with the characters and I managed to have none.
Ah, about based on facts, there was the case in the second episode where they said that Blythe (or Blithe?) died in this war but he only died in the 60s, imagine what must be more false things in that, but anyway the scene them discovering the Concentration Camps is really surreal, heavy, but I believe I could have gotten more attached to the characters and this scene had more of an impact on me, I cried because I know what happened in real life and not because of the characters from the series.
I don't think I've ever seen a mustachioed series (other than a documentary), but it would be interesting and disgusting at the same time to see someone acting like him, to see all the atrocities he did, if done well it would be one of the heaviest series in the world, I just think that I would lose to some series that portrayed all the centuries of slavery.
