Battle Extraordinaire

We absolutely love this bunker scene from The Pacific:

One by one, rifles, grenades, tanks, flame throwers, the marines use every weapon at hand to clear the Japs out of the bunker.

It is an utterly brutal sequence that strips the men of their humanity even as they look eye to eye at the enemy. Watch the marine with the flame thrower scream as he napalms the Japs inside, watch Shelton shout curses at the Japs. And those screams.

The whole thing's a goddamn tragedy.

On a side note there's something about the sound, the play of metal on metal, the gravel.

Well done.
