Tell me about "The Banner of the Fathers" starring Jamie. I read a lot of movie reviews without mentioning him. Jamie also began to be able to make big director's films in the United States. Cowboy director Clint Eastwood directed this "Flag", which is better than Si's "Saving Private Ryan". It didn't win an Oscar, which may be related to the relatively tender lineup. Ryan Phillippe and a few GIs were from Wind Whisperer and GIs. Not as famous as TOM HANKS. I'll just say Jamie, his role in it is equivalent to a supporting role. He still plays with the protagonist Ryan Philip. On the battlefield, he follows Ryan's DOC everywhere to rescue the wounded, carry stretchers, and occasionally target the enemy, saying With dirty words, shoot the enemy. It's a bit like an old fried dough stick, and it's no longer a green recruit. Jamie only appears in the DOC's recollection of the war scene. In the film, DOC keeps asking iggy where are you. Iggy and doc were close comrades in the battle of Iwo Jima. They were always inseparable. DOC took good care of Iggy. There must be IGGY where DOC appeared on the camera. Although in the black and white picture, everyone looks almost ashamed, little Jamie's little white face steals the spotlight, but unfortunately the person who wrote the review of the film doesn't seem to notice him, which is really strange. The iggy played by Jamie is a symbol of DOC's memory of his comrades-in-arms recalling the war years, so when he was dying, he kept shouting iggy's name, (so cute! What is the ambiguous relationship between Jamie and Ryan Philippe? thing?) He couldn't let go of iggy either, he didn't know if he was dead or alive. Most of the film is about heroes, who is the hero in the end. Those heroes who planted the flag struggled for life after they became ordinary mortals. Are they still worthy of praise? The theme of the film is very good. A reflective film.
It is also a drama of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but what Westerners filmed is different from our main theme of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The war scenes of the Battle of Iwo Jima used black and white, and the uniforms of both sides were of the same color, blurring the boundaries of the war, and could not see the faces of the people. Unlike our Anti-Japanese War movies, killing a Japanese leader will definitely give him a few. Closeup of seconds. It's ironic that the company that DOC was in was bombed by their own planes shortly after they planted the gas flag. The soldiers died quickly and neatly, and they didn't babble about a long period of revolutionary ideals.
Jamie, playing soldier IGGY, the real person of historical events, shot and killed one Japanese soldier in the film, he is beautiful in DOC's memory. They are brothers who share weal and woe on the battlefield, often smiling brightly.

    The entry point of the movie, extra points! Don't forget to watch the subtitles.

    It is very interesting that the old man presented a pair of extremely brilliant in 2006, two ethics films of World War II that echoed the scripts from the perspective of the Japanese and US military. "Family Letters" may be more in line with the general audience's pickiness of "alternative" scripts, but this does not mean that "The Banner" is slightly inferior. The narrative editing of "Family Letters" is not as unique as "The Banner", so it gives me the impression of "long and boring" ==|||

    James Bradley: He's not here dad. He died.

    John Bradley: Who? Who died?

    James Bradley: Iggy.

    John Bradley: Iggy. Christ, Iggy. I hadn't thought of him for years. How do you know about Iggy?

    James Bradley: You were calling for him, when you collapsed.

    John Bradley: I wasn't looking for Iggy. I was looking for you. I wanted to... I wanted to tell you I'm sorry I wasn't a better father, talk to you more, I just... I'm sorry.

    James Bradley: Sorry? You were the best father a man could have.

    John Bradley: Did I ever tell you they took us swimming?

    James Bradley: No, dad.

    John Bradley: After we planted the flag, we came down off the mountain and went swimming. It was the funniest thing. All this fighting, and we were jumping around in the water like kids. That's the way that I remember Iggy now.

  • Ralph "Iggy" Ignatowski: Did you hear the good news, Doc? We're going in with the first wave.
