After talking about St Francis in class today I would like to remind everyone that I am insane!!!! Eugene Roe the man that you are. I feel like we don’t acknowledge the entirety of the prayer of St Francis (the prayer he recites in Bastogne) but it literally starts with “lord, make me an instrument of your peace, where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith” so on and so forth but ???!!???!?!?!? IM INSANE!!!!! IM INSANE!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY GIVE EUGENE ROE A HUG!!!!!!
ACTUALLY NO IM NOT DONE. IT GOES ON. “Where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy”
I could say so much. Where there is despair hope I mean. Oh man OH MAN. Stares at Babe Heffron. Where there is darkness light. One of the ONLY times we see pure unclouded sunlight is the very final scene with him patching up babes hand!!?????!? Where there is sadness joy. Stares at Renee. STARES AT RENEE. STARES AT SPINA STARES AT BABE STARES AT THE ENTIRETY OF EASY COMPANY BEING ABLE TO JOKE AROUND WITH HIM “hide your morphine guys!” AND NO HE DOES NOY SEEK TO BE CONSOLED HE DOES NOT SEEK TO BE UNDERSTOOD OR TO BE LOVED BUT YOU KNOW WHAT. YOU KNOW WHAT. BABE AND RENEE CONSOLE HIM. BABE AND RENEE UNDERSTAND HIM. BABE AND RENEE LOVE HIM. I AM RIPPING MY HAIR OUT WHAT THE FUCK I HATE THIS SHOW I HATE IT!!!! TOM HANKS IM IN YOUR FAUCET IM UNDER YOUR FLOOR BOARDS.

i think it's really interesting to think about how eugene wasn't raised as a soldier. he wasn't built for war. he has many ancestors who were soldiers, his family's legacy is war – and he was always supposed to be the odd man out. diseased as a child and seen as fragile by his parents. in this response to an ask about eugene wearing a lot more white during his scenes before the war i talked about how it's supposed to represent his innocence. you can attribute a lot of “dove” imagery to eugene's character and whatnot. i think it's crucial the way eugene is presented in the scene where he's telling his father he's gonna go to war whether he likes it or not. this id argue is his most important look in the entirety of the show.
so eugene does end up joining his ancestors. another sledge man marching towards war. he's eager, naive about it. he's barely 21.
i (and many others) have talked at length about what it means to eugene's innocence & "essence" of childhood the impromptu reunion with sid so i won't go into much detail with it except to highlight this scene:
eugene's father has given him a pistol to use during the war. it's symbolic, in a way – sledge sr having been so adamant in keeping eugene from conflict before and all that – and it also marks an interesting point for his character. eugene despite everything i said at the beginning has a history with guns that came from hunting with his father. so it's not like he's a stranger to this or a pacifist by any means. but i think eugene's character development is tied very closely to how he feels about guns, specifically. both rifles and sidearms.
fast forward a bit and by okinawa you have plenty of scenes representing eugene's losing grip on his humanity and the incipient growth of his rage. but it all comes to a head in this particular scene, i think. they drop the shell on the hut and open fire and then it ends – except eugene doesn’t stop. he purposefully foregoes his rifle (less personal, made for longer distances) and takes out his pistol to shoot the last japanese soldier standing. the use of that particular gun is a conscious choice because he doesn't need it. he isn't even supposed to be firing anymore. but his anger towards everything has reached a boiling point and he's deliberately making this personal (as evidenced by the dialogue – “i'd use my goddamn hands if i had to”).
then after a while eugene comes home a changed man, and while edward is boisterous about his time in europe and the army eugene can't stomach it and he says as much – he won't put on a uniform ever again, he doesn't enjoy the fanfare and celebration. there's a real dissonance between how eugene and edward (and sid for that matter) are choosing to deal with the memories of war in episode 10 but that's a thought for another post. anyway, i bring back this particular bit from the original scripts about eugene's feelings regarding his ancestors: i wish they had included this bc i think it's very necessary for his character arc. the military men in his family stare back at him. he understands now. and the fact that he reaches this revelation in the same study where he was told time and time again that he couldn't enlist and where he then made the decision by himself is so very important.
and finally you have the conclusion to all this that comes in the scene where eugene goes hunting with his father one last time – except in this occasion he can't do it. and i think it all comes back to his innocence and the pistol, his own rifle in the marines vs his shotgun at home. it's the act of holding a gun to take life again that breaks eugene down completely. and the fact that they're supposed to be hunting for doves! it's just a perfect way to end his character arc because he's not that person anymore.
(anyway, i hope this made sense to someone. if you read all of it i love u and thank u 🙏🏻)

✦ “Take My Breath Away” ‐ Berlin // that one speirton scene.
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say Take my breath away
In my mind, when Ron walks away from Carwood during the church scene, he does the hand flex from Pride and Prejudice.
