Flags of Our Fathers
There were five Marines and one Navy Corpsman photographed raising the U.S. flag on Mt. Suribachi by Joe Rosenthal on February 23, 1945. This is the story of three of the six surviving servicemen - John 'Doc' Bradley, Pvt. Rene Gagnon and Pvt. Ira Hayes - who fought in the battle to take Iwo Jima from the Japanese. From TMDB

It was a dream come true for a film writer. They stayed in touch afterward, too. Some disability activists hated the film, but not Jeff, who passed away in 2013.

unlabelledView post →I really gotta see the Clint Eastwood film Hereafter. Also Bridges of Madison County. Also Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima. Perhaps also Blood Work. Maybe The Mule. J. Edgar, possibly. Even Absolute Power, why not
unlabelledView post →On a more personal level, "Flyboys" by James Bradley (who wrote "Flags of Our Fathers" that got turned into a movie) is deeply moving. But Bradley's revisionist politics on the war gradually surface more and more in each subsequent book he writes.

We talk Clint’s directing career, the young cast and the companion film Letters From Iwo Jima.
unlabelledView post →Watching this one and Flags of Our Fathers side by side makes for one of the best anti-war films ever made and arguably one of the only films to ever thread the needle of showing how ghastly the Imperial Japanese Army was while making them human.
unlabelledView post →great movie, much better than FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS
unlabelledView post →Whatever you do, do not watch the movie Flags of Our Fathers and read anything about DJT and/or his cowardly cadre of Repub Reps/Sens. I am sure some have served in the military, they just forgot what service to America and its ppl mean. Never mind the draft dodger looking for a military parade.⭐💛
unlabelledView post →The man made a movie about one of the more jingoistic symbols of the last 100 years (Flags of Our Fathers) and then immediately turned around and made an even better movie in a foreign language depicting very humanely the people whose defeat that moment symbolized.

unlabelledView post →As an American, a war movie that I love so much is Flags of Our Fathers and have since I was a sophomore in high school because I went to see it for extra credit for history class plus also another reason is because I was raised in the hometown of one of the six flag raisers: Harlon Block.

unlabelledView post →I will stand by the view that it should be watched on the same day as Flags of Our Fathers and that they make, consecutively, the best anti-war film ever made because it was relatively true to events and unsparing about them.

Of course, Saving Private Ryan, and same year, The Thin Red Line, Terrance Mallick film, so very slow and pretty war (stars Jim Caviezel, been warned)

unlabelledView post →Flags of Our Fathers, both the book & the movie, are the only examples I know of that place front-and-center the threat of War Weariness that was rising across the US in 1945. And yet, when the battle of Iwo Jima began February 1945, the US had been at war for all of three years & two months.

unlabelledView post →If Eastwood did nothing else but Unforgiven that would still have been an epic career. “‘Deserve’ has nothing to do with it.” I really need to watch the Japanese remake w/Ken Watanabe. And then there’s Letters from Iwo Jima/Flags of Our Fathers… The Good/Bad/Ugly is also a top 3 film for me!
unlabelledView post →Re-watched Flags of Our Fathers last night for the first time since seeing it in theaters. I still think it's a great war film. I admire Eastwood's restraint throughout the film because it would have been easy to try to make it a spectacle. It's also Adam Beach's best acting performance. #filmsky
unlabelledView post →Letters from Iwo Jima (Clint Eastwood, 2006). Excellent war drama, despite washed-out colour, and a satisfying companion film to Flags of Our Fathers. This time, we see the 1945 battle for the Japanese island from the Japanese perspective. Ken Watanabe and Kazunari Ninomiya star. #LettersFromIwoJima
unlabelledView post →I think Letters From Iwo Jima & Flags of Our Fathers are good and missing completely from that list. Band of Brothers isn't a film but always needs a mention. I also like Terence Malick's Thin Red Line. Non-american ones are worth seeking out and watching though. Land of Mine another good danish.

unlabelledView post →Good movie, but after a point it became predictable, and some of the courtroom action seemed extremely implausible. That said, it was technically really quite good, and some of the performances were also memorable. But it certainly doesn’t rank with Flags of Our Fathers or Letters from Iwo Jima.

unlabelledView post →A nicely crafted war film. I wasn't overly invested in what was happening onscreen, but that doesn't take away from the fact that I still found 'Flags of Our Fathers' to be a very good and a very interesting story from the Battle of Iwo Jima. It's a fascinating tale that it tells, which is definitely its strongest feature. As a whole I was very interested in it, individually I don't think it's as strong but as a collective it comes out nicely. Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford and Adam Beach are…
