Flags of our Fathers (2006)

9 Movies Every Marine Needs To Watch (9 movies items)

"Plot: The life stories of the six men who raised the flag at The Battle of Iwo Jima, a turning point in WWII. Reason to watch: While most people have seen the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo from the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima, many don't know the flag raising happened just days into the battle, when it was not yet clear when the Japanese would be defeated. Three of the six flag raisers would be killed later in the battle, while the remaining three would be brought back to the U.S. to help raise war "

Clint Eastwood Films: Director - Ranked (36 movies items)

" The twin film to Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima and it's definitely the lesser film out of them. Flags of Our Fathers simply lacked the emotional power to truly resonate with me. "

Movie Reviews (1051-1100) (50 movies items)

" A great thoughtful premise about who creates a hero and who becomes one - and if they are all created by circumstances or by fate? Excellent philosophical things that Clint Eastwood dare to rip into, especially the story about the Native American Ira is gripping. "

Top World War II Movies (91 movies items)

"Clint Eastwood gives directing a go and does a good job here. Letters from Iwo Jima is widely regarded as the better of the two but both films are good and it's good to see the battle from both perspectives. Both films focus around the Battle of Iwo Jima, Flags of Our Fathers, however, has a clear focus on those who lifted the flag (or didn't as the case may be) in the famous WWII photo (also seen on the cover) and the impact this had on their lives.

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- February 2016 (26 movies items)

" DVD- 2hrs. 12min. First Viewing Restrained to a fault, the problem with several Eastwood flicks, Flags of Our Fathers offers a stirring story about the sacrifice of WWII soldiers, but does so in the most dull and forgettable ways. The cast is strong, Adam Beach in particular deserves a stand-alone story for this character, but their largely wasted in a surface view of the events. The film's visual output is where the movie doesn't disappoint, with the costumes, production design and cinematogra"

Miika's Movie Diary - 2017 (250 movies items)

"7.1, Netflix Clint Eastwoodin heikoimpia tekeleitä ohjaajana. Vähän petyin jo siinä vaiheessa, kun tajusin että kyseessä ei olekaan sotaelokuva sanan varsinaisessa merkityksessä. Tarina hyppii itse sotatantereelta aina sotilaiden myöhäisempään elämään, jossa pointtina on kertoa kuinka kaatuneet sotilaat jäävät yksilöinä unholaan. Eastwood kuitenkin käyttää lähtökohtien tarjoaman potentiaalin puolivillaisesti, ja tunneside hahmoihin jää melko köyhäksi. Lopulta koko ai"
