    The old cowboy is really good at filming, and the music of the casting, plot scenes, and music are praised. The story is narrated in flashback, focusing on the objective irony of the lack of humanity after the war, reflecting on pure heroism, the overall compact and profound, and the end of the post-war life of the soldiers and their families is full of emotion. It is very good to read with "Family Letter", double...

    Compared with the letter from Iwo Jima, this film is much more natural for Uncle Dongmu to deal with. Therefore, the theme of the film is very layered and the expression is richer. The war scenes are very beautiful, and the low-saturation colors bring a heavy sense of history; the interspersed memory and reality are very natural, and the rhythm is just right, so the theme is deep but not...

    They stood for the country, they died for their comrades in arms, behind the film is a heavy humanistic...

    The battle scene is quite spectacular, but that kind of tragic seems to be lacking. Memories after the war somewhat cut off the rhythm of the whole film, and there were too many jumps. This film is to be watched together with "Letter from Iwo Jima", but that one is obviously promiscuous, so both series are somewhat...

    Heroes are something we creat, something we need. It's a way for us to understand what is almost incomprehensible how people could sacrifice so much for us. But if we wish to truly honor these man, we should remember them the way they really...

    It turned out not to be a traditional war blockbuster, but that things happened in the war years. The difference between politicians and soldiers looks...

    Look at how Americans face history and tell history! The so-called national films of the Chinese Dynasty are all weak! Although this film is slightly fragmented, and although it is easy to avoid the important, it is quite meaningful as a drama based on reflecting historical facts. Compared with the great cause of Mao's founding of the party and the great cause of Mao's founding of the country, it cost a lot of time and took a long time to make comments. How self-aware the administrators...

    There is no permanent hero, it's all made up by politicians. But seeing them playing on the beach made me a little...

    Everyone thinks they understand war, but usually they are not in the field, they like to see things in simplification, good and evil, heroes and villains, but the truth is far from...

    flag is missing

    Eastwood captures the essence of a war - nothing about heroes, nothing about justice, and nothing but national interests. In it, the so-called hero is nothing but a tool used by the official government to guide the people in a direction that suits their own needs. Politically, they need the flags...

    forever flying flag

    Some people say that Director Dongmu's father's banner is too messy and talks too much. But from this two-hour and 12-minute film, what moved me most from beginning to end was the deep sympathy I had for an ordinary U.S. Marine who participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Pacific War.

Flags of Our Fathers quotes

  • Bud Gerber: Hey, you know what? I don't give a shit. You're in the picture, you raised the flag, that's the story we're selling, boys.

    Ira Hayes: Are you deaf? Hank isn't in the picture. *Harlon* is in the picture.

    Bud Gerber: Well, who the fuck is Harlon?

    Ira Hayes: Harlon Block. That's whose mother who should be here if anyone's should be. You know, I think this whole damn thing is a farce, you ask me.

  • Bud Gerber: You know what they're calling this bond drive? The Mighty Seventh. They might've called it the "We're Flat Fucking Broke And Can't Even Afford Bullets So We're Begging For Your Pennies" bond drive, but it didn't have quite the ring. They could've called it that, though, because the last four bond drives came up so short we just printed money instead. Ask any smart boy on Wall Street, he'll tell you our dollar is next to worthless, we've borrowed so much. And nobody is lending any more. Ships aren't being built, tanks aren't being built, machine guns, bazookas, hand grenades, zip. You think this is a farce? You want to go back to your buddies? Well stuff some rocks in your pockets before you get on the plane, because that's all we got left to throw at the Japanese. And don't be surprised if your plane doesn't make it off the runway, because the fuel dumps are empty. And our good friends, the Arabs, are only taking bullion. If we don't raise $14 billion, and that's million with a "B," this war is over by the end of the month. We make a deal with the Japanese, we give whatever they want and we come home, because you've seen them fight, and they sure as shit ain't giving up. $14 billion! The last three drives didn't make that much all together.
