This was the hardest scene to watch in the whole run because it had become difficult to tell all the characters apart once they started to look so similar through the Bastogne and Foy episodes. I suddenly realized some of my favorites had died, and I remember crying.
Yes it's interesting how they juxtapose scenes of beauty such as the sisters singing, but then shifts right back into the brutality of war as Lipton narrates about the men that have been lost
This was beautiful filmmaking. After two long episodes of stark snowy chaotic action, the viewer feels relief for the characters to be in a warm and peaceful place.
I can only imagine how painful it was for Lipton to put that roster together. That his friends would never return and the company would never be the same again. This and the courage shown by all of the Easy Company paratroopers will never be forgotten. I will never forget and every time I have a bad day or a bad time in my life I will remember Easy Company and will thank God for my life. God bless.
This part always get to me. When he says "the sisters there brought their choir in to sing for us, it's was heaven." I always think of the horror of bastogne they went through and are finally in a safe place and how much that would truly feel like heaven. And when he says "at least that night we didn't know it yet, that night we were ok" it just hits the feels
My pop Joseph R Ciervo was in the 82nd air Bourne he jumped into Normandy on June 6th 1944 and fought in all major campaigns Normandy Saint Lo battle of the bulge all the way through Germany he was awarded the Purple Heart with a cluster The bronze star with valor along with a good conduct model Presidential unit citation plus a few more he passed away in March 2009. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about him he was a great man father and papa. He was born in Brooklyn New York and passed away in Massapequa Ny Long Island. Love you pop till we meet again
Truly amazing film-making. The song, the candles, the loss. Scene still makes me cry. THEN the Lipton Speirs dialogue abt Speirs and lopping off Carthaginian heads, then Speirs asking Lipton "you don't have any idea who I'm talking about, do you? It was you, first Sgt ."
Out of every movie or TV show I've seen, this scene from Band of Brothers has to be the most haunting scene I've ever seen. It truly shows the human cost war takes.
Even after all of that some of those men were even going to be bound for the Pacific Campaign for the final invasion into Japan. I liked how by the end of the series Winters and his other officers were doing their best to try and get as many of the Currahee veterans back home so that they wouldn't have to keep fighting on the other side of the World.
My favourite scene in the whole series. It really puts you in the perspective of the soldiers and how they are haunted by their memories. You see the soldiers and think "Hey I remember him!" as an audience member, only to be struck by the reality of what happened. It strikes you in a way the soldiers were struck, but in a way that the audience can understand, its genius. The only other thing I can think of that does anything to this effect is the "Where do you think we are?" scene from Scrubs.
After crunching 30h days at work for too long, and the deadlines are done and the hectic work passes for a brief moment and everything is calm for one day, I pick up this episode to feel the calmness in the middle of the war and survival mode only. Under heavy stress you cherish the smallest moments that give you peace.
This is such an intimate moment, way better than any war film that's Marine based, There was just something special about these people both fictional and in real life, god bless them.

To the hell with sins,that doesn´t exist and God doesn´t exist also;the soldiers went to the battle without those problems,some of the soldiers weren´t even catholics,Liebgott was a jew,and I´m sure that there were others that weren´t also catholics.They were americans and there are many religions.
@@Maria7162 Liebgott was actually a Roman Catholic in real life, but from what I read his fellow men assumed he was Jewish due to his name, and he sort of went with it.
I just watched this and Normally I wouldn’t cry because nothing now makes me cry but this did it made me feel like I was there with easy company and I know that someone like me could never and will never understand the pain and suffering that easy went through
The Breaking Point is without a doubt the most emotional episode of the series (apart from Why We Fight). But nothing hits harder in the episode than seeing Lipton narrate all the casualties Easy Company suffered as each man fades away.
The price of war human life good men and weman may god bless my troops you gave me one hundred thousand young men to watch over guid and protect Im ready for lost including if the cost is my life but if we must lay out lives down the opposition will substain a lost of ten fold
notable detail : the song is "Plaisirs d'amour" (by Edith Piaf), meaning "Pleasures of Love", which is a secular song and definitely not one that is sang in a church. Also, some of the soldiers smoke, which also is a no-no in a religious environment. These details show what lengths the nuns have gone to make the guys comfortable and welcomed in a safe haven
Lot of people seem to have the impression the characters who fade away are all deceased. Even though those comments are really old, for those just discovering the video some of these men were reassigned or honorably/medically discharged for injuries, not deceased.
Un tel respect pour ses frères se battre pour la France entre autres pour le bien du monde. Ce genre de personnes me dit de fermer ma gueule je réponds oui monsieur j'ai un tel respect pour ses gens
The song is plasir d'amour, the pleasures of love. It talks about a man gilted by his lover and how he finds no joy in love anymore.... I wonder why they chose this?
+Enya M. Plaisir d'amour is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741-1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de ...etc. see Wiki
I don't think it's a real church. Since the entire series was filmed in England. And all of the sets were constructed, Carentan, Foy, Berchtesgaden, Neunen, so it wouldn't surprise me if this church was constructed for this scene.
This is a beautiful song and a moving scene. Reading the translation of the songI find it strange that a catholic girls choir in Rachamps Belgium would sing such a sensual song in the mid 1940's. Has anybody read the book? Is this specific song referenced in the book? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaisir_d'amour
+bflynn258 Sorry for one year later, but you do know France has a heavy influence on Belgium right? Couple of my friends from Belgium are fluent in Dutch and French as they are quite similar, as well as German.
+Xor rd I'm not surprised at a song in the French language which I know is common in Belgium. I'm surprised that a- female choir in a Catholic convent in 1945 would sing a song about the pleasure and pain of romantic love. As hauntingly appropriate musically as it is for that scene I doubt that it was the song that was actually sung to Easy Company in the convent. Maybe the book would shed some light on it.
+bflynn258 "Plaisir d'amour" (literally "The pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741-1816). It is not at all a gregorian chant but very much a lamentation of the fickleness of earthly love. So I was at first astounded to hear a church choir in a small french village singing it to comfort weary soldiers - but then i thought again ... Perhaps they felt that this was one thing in their repertoire that could most easily break through to the men and give some mental rest? It can very well be historical, no doubt the series is very well researched.
There's only 1 thing I don't understand about this scene, when Lipton is going through the list he says "Our month in Belgium cost us 1 good officer, Buck Compton" hang on.... Buck Compton survived the war, the guy who played him got to meet Buck and he looks incredibly similar to Buck, he's even played roles that are the same as the jobs Buck had after the war: The interview with the actor: ua-cam.com/video/y-yLf_KlyDY/v-deo.html
@@ShadowKingRPG If you watch the episode where Joe Toye and Bill Guarnere get hit by the shells you see Buck take off his helmet and drop it, that's basically where he lost his marbles. I believe it was Breaking Point.
It is very artistically beautiful to see the men's image fade away as he is explaining what happened to them. Rest in Peace, Easy Company!
Spielberg has his moments
RIP...
When the man playing sergeant Carwood Lipton lists the dead, one of them is not shown amongst the fadding guys.
This was the hardest scene to watch in the whole run because it had become difficult to tell all the characters apart once they started to look so similar through the Bastogne and Foy episodes. I suddenly realized some of my favorites had died, and I remember crying.

I agree

진짜 맞다 너무
*THE* best
This was beautiful filmmaking. After two long episodes of stark snowy chaotic action, the viewer feels relief for the characters to be in a warm and peaceful place.
Peaceful place, indeed. And time to think about what had happened in the past few days, months. And about what was probably about the happen next.
I can only imagine how painful it was for Lipton to put that roster together. That his friends would never return and the company would never be the same again.
This and the courage shown by all of the Easy Company paratroopers will never be forgotten.

BAND OF BROTHERS was the most moving wartime series I've ever seen, but this scene is hands down the most heartbreaking and moving.
Reminds me of the end of episode 3 when the maid names off the unclaimed laundry.
@@carlwilliams9642 that scene got me

This still makes me tear up a bit :(
i think its really powerful how the dead fade away
Not all dead. A few were wounded and two were relieved.
Truly amazing film-making. The song, the candles, the loss. Scene still makes me cry. THEN the Lipton Speirs dialogue abt Speirs and lopping off Carthaginian heads, then Speirs asking Lipton "you don't have any idea who I'm talking about, do you? It was you, first Sgt ."
For me, this is the best serie ever created!
Out of every movie or TV show I've seen, this scene from Band of Brothers has to be the most haunting scene I've ever seen. It truly shows the human cost war takes.
The Sisters there had their own mass tragedies, but yet they tried to give what comfort they could to the heroic soldiers. God bless them all!!!
One of the best scenes of the entire series. Beautifully done.
So haunting. To see these youthful faces all just disappear. Muck, Penkala, and Hoobler hit me the hardest,.
What a lineage of action that Easy Company seen. Normandy, Carenten, the siege at Bastogne and assault on Foy and then back on the line at Hagenau.
Even after all of that some of those men were even going to be bound for the Pacific Campaign for the final invasion into Japan. I liked how by the end of the series Winters and his other officers were doing their best to try and get as many of the Currahee veterans back home so that they wouldn't have to keep fighting on the other side of the World.

THANKYU FROM 2021
This is my favorite scene in the entire series.
After consecrated souls, God loves soldiers, especially those who go to battle repentant of their mortal sins.
To the hell with sins,that doesn´t exist and God doesn´t exist also;the soldiers went to the battle without those problems,some of the soldiers weren´t even catholics,Liebgott was a jew,and I´m sure that there were others that weren´t also catholics.They were americans and there are many religions.
God loves every soul he/she/it has created. It has to be tough.

The first time I watched this was 10 years ago, and all these guys were my age. Now this clip describes boys 10 years younger than me getting killed.
God bless the 101st Airborne
I had tears in my Eyes where i saw it first time.
O yea, I've already had the pleasure of discovering that great song, thanks.
It really hits you when you realize they suffered over 50% attrition, that is more than 1 in 2 man at Bastogne.
seriously great film making.
Anyone else got tears in your eyes when they started fading away?
From 3rd ID with Love
Love the song too
simply amazing
Rest in church
The best and saddest scene in BOB😍😭😭

This scene literally made me break down.
Plaisir d’amour. Chanson du siècle XVIII.
ronald spears is the man we all want to be
Sadly the last member of Easy Company passed this week and Bob Dole passed today. They were the best of the best.
Outstanding
It's a powerful thing. This is exactly how we feel when our close and known leave us. The places where they roamed remain exactly the same.
Best ever made

its disturbing to know that muck and penkala's spirits there. and to know that they once existed and the next they're gone
@Lu698 Do you know of any artist that sing it choir style like this version, alI I can find are piano style versions.

Halo song
What is this background song?
War's hell.
O.k enough already enlighten me please please what is this beautiful music called?
It´s "plaisir d'amour" from Michael Kamen with the London Metropolitan Orchestra
TarcidzMike The Hymn 'My God loves me' has this tune. Given that it's nuns singing in this scene I assume it's that Hymn they are singing!
+Matthew Lee It's a girl's school quire acc. by the nuns of the convent of Foye

Does anyone know the name of this song? I can't find it anywhere
know its 7 years later, but song name is Plaisir D'amour

Anybody know in which church this was filmed? I live in Belgium
I think it's in Foy

Jamie Rees Buck had extreme ptsd from watching his friends die and couldn’t serve any more. He was alive and well after the ear.
Ah right, so he was honourably discharged due to PTSD (Shellshock back then), makes sense.
