#jesus CHRIST!!

[sea-changed]

In retrospect I cannot believe I wrote this entire post without having seen these article scans wherein Tom Hanks so perfectly explicates my whole point that it's a little breathtaking. That he so specifically frames his experience of filming Saving Private Ryan and creating Band of Brothers as a process of historical revisionism and reaction against his father's firsthand account of the war as he experienced it really brings home I think the extent to which Band of Brothers is both intensely narrativized (in opposition to lived experience) and yet equally as intensely wants to be true. Hanks is framing both Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers here as representations of a sort of surrogate truth, which is better (and perhaps somehow truer--see the PhD comment) than his father's memories, which he finds lacking.

Like--we know all this already! We watched the series! But to have the impetus behind it so directly and forthrightly laid out like that is sort of incredible. Like, oh, Mr. Hanks, is a story true? Is a story untrue? As time extends does it matter less and less? Are the stories we want to believe the ones that survive? Jesus christ.

things that made me say "fuck you for real, murph": unknown tome plays when bev sr. arrives with the death knights, and mee-maw's burden plays when he tells them that that he's given his soul up.
