Band of Brothers (Concentration Camp)

[Ranger X]

Band of Brothers was really good. I'm just baffled at how they found people to play the Jews in the concentration camps. Are they really that skinny or am I missing something here?

But but.... it was filmed 'on-site' wasn't it? :Q

j/k
Yeah, they looked sick but compared to the REAL prisoners they looked healthy as can be.

seeing Christian Bale get skinny for Machinist I wont be suprised

I doubt its that hard to scorunge up a couple dozen VERY skinny people for the obvious, up-close shots. The rest in the background could just be skinny people wearing baggier clothes etc.

I've wondered the same thing myself.

They just cruised crack houses for former superstar heroin-chic models.

Pretty much. Also for the close-up's they had them next to guy's that were pretty well built to make them look even smaller by comparison.

If you really want to see what thoes people looked like when they found them back in WWII do a search in Goolge for "Concentration Camp".

the white makeup helped a lot.
