philosophy in war
All wars are dual in nature, there are wars on the battlefield and wars off the battlefield.

It is for this reason that those politicians and businessmen do not go to the...

Obsessed idols disappear one by one
Heroism is pretty much the most important part of the American spirit, but in "Banner of the Fathers," old cowboy Clint Eastwood destroys it with a story behind a picture.
Just as the academic film was destined not to be a global hit like the blockbuster "Saving Private Ryan," the Battle of Iwo...

The two sides of the battle of Iwo Jima, Dongmu's "Letters from Iwo Jima" seem to be somewhat unacceptable and conflicted in consciousness, but in "Flags of Fathers", he clearly found a more suitable entry point for his locality. A photo involves the absurdity of the war itself, the irony of those in power, and the suspicion of American values. Those grand meanings were dispelled by the dignity of individual lives, and Dongmu made a fresh and heroic life. Although history will pass, the meaning of life will last forever.

Captain Severance: Look, I've had to make a few other changes. I'm promoting you, to platoon sergeant.
Mike Strank: Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
Captain Severance: You bet.
Mike Strank: The trouble is, I already told my men I'd see them through this.
Captain Severance: That your James Cagney impersonation? 'Cause I've heard better.
Mike Strank: Well, I'll keep practicing, then.
Captain Severance: Look, this isn't your first time through this. You don't need to prove anything.
Mike Strank: No, sir.
Captain Severance: You're not the *best* sergeant I've ever had, just the best one that's still walking. Block's a good man.
Mike Strank: Yes, sir, he is.
Captain Severance: The men know him, he can step right in. You know, I have actually thought this through. Platoon sergeant puts you further away from the bullets.
Mike Strank: I already gave them my word, sir. I told them I'd bring them all home to their mothers, which means I already lied to half of them. Can't lie to the rest.

General "Howlin' Mad" Smith: [on the telephone] I was promised ten days of shelling. You're giving me three and saying that's the best you can do?... I don't give a shit! My men hit that beach with less than ten, and I'll be taking them home to their mamas in buckets!... Yeah, I know exactly why. Because every Navy man with scrambled egg on his chest wants to offload us here and sail to Japan so they can be there for the big finish, tell their kids they captured the Emperor all by themselves. Well, you aren't going to Japan unless we take this piece of shit island! These little pricks are dug in... Okay, appreciate that, Jim. Three days is a fucking beautiful thing.
