The character in my film is the one on the left, who is sitting on the fallen tree, and the character on the left is Major Richard Winters, played by Damian Lewis in Band of Brothers.

The similarities between these two characters are that they are both from the same division, the 101st Airborne, and are dressed in the same clothing.

However, the outfit that my character is wearing is that of a paratrooper from D-Day and the outfit that Major Winters is wearing is that of a paratrooper from Operation Market Garden, the invasion of Holland in September 1944. This explains why the colour is slightly different.

The roles that the two characters play are also very different, as my character is a private yet Major Winters is a major, which means that their roles and the way in which they act are different.

The morality that can be seen in the two minute opening is good versus evil because the American Paratroopers are the bringers of freedom and goodness and the Germans  they are fighting are the upholders of tyranny and evil.
