Derrière chaque soldat se cache un héros.
Au cinquième jour de la sanglante bataille d'Iwo Jima, cinq Marines et un infirmier de la Navy hissent ensemble le drapeau américain au sommet du Mont Suribachi, tout juste repris aux Japonais. L'image de ces hommes unis face à l'adversité devient légendaire en l'espace de quelques jours. Elle captive le peuple américain, las d'une guerre interminable, et lui donne des motifs d'espérer. Pour mettre à profit cet engouement, les trois "porte-drapeaux" sont livrés à l'admiration des foules. Leur nouvelle mission : servir leur pays en vendant les précieux Bons qui financent l'effort de guerre. Le laconique John "Doc" Bradley, le timide Amérindien Ira Hayes et le fringant Rene Gagnon se prêtent au jeu avec un dévouement exemplaire. Ils sillonnent sans relâche le pays, serrent des milliers de mains et prononcent des allocutions. Mais, en leur for intérieur, une autre bataille se livre…

good film ish but watch "Letters From Iwo Jima" Ten times better than this one.
A bit of a scattered storyline, more of a look on the story/hype of the flag rising and the homefront than the battle/war itself. Don't forget to watch its (better) counterpart, the Japanese view: 'Letters From Iwo Jima'
Great movie about the battle of Iwo Jima and particularly about the famous photo with the flag and the consequences of the photo. Based on real events.
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 the pick of the performers, though there are a load of familiar faces elsewhere - including Paul Walker, John Slattery and Jamie Bell. Super intrigued to check out 'Letters from Iwo Jima', which Clint Eastwood & Co. released two months after this to serve as a companion piece. Hopefully that's as good as this.
All the wars of the world, from the beginning of creation until now, have included people who have entered them for the highest values of inauguration, all those who returned home alive from this war, could never be the same person as before!!! because all their beliefs in high values have become meaningless...😑😢😓
