The Pacific War, #12

Dateline: September 22, 2007

More from Dale Dye on the product of the work taking place now…

In some of the most spectacular and stirring sequences I have ever seen put on film, we landed on the Orange and White Beaches of Peleliu last week. Much of what I saw on those bitterly opposed landing operations looked just like the still and motion picture images that we have seen from Peleliu back in 1944. It was as vivid and deadly as the stuff we see in the old Movietone newsreels.

Keep in mind, Dye has seen a few: SPR, Band of Brothers to name a few action driven products, and those were pretty good. What is happening now, at least according to Dye, matches the high production value of his previous work, and note his emphasis, that they are “the most…stirring sequences I have ever seen put to film.” Not just war flicks. But film.
