Flags Of Our Fathers
I stayed up way too late last night watching Flags of Our Fathers. I really enjoyed it. The war scenes were especially well directed and I never grew tired of them, even though I’ve seen this sort of thing a couple of times before. I’m a sucker for World War II films.
What I like most is that it brings the viewer into the minds of the soldiers and tells the story behind the famous photo from their point of view, showing the conflict of emotions and driving home the point that nothing about war, even a victory, can be truly understood by the people back home who look on from afar.
Overall, I give it 7 out of 10. I can’t wait to see Letters from Iwo Jima.
