      Heroes are just a reality show for politics


      You're wasting your time and money if you go to the battle scene in Saving Private Ryan. This isn't a war movie, it's a movie that explores what it means to be called a "hero" born out of war. War or peace, cannon fire or applause, are all secondary lines that express this theme.

      But you can't deny...

      The Battle of Iwo Jima Companion

      Father's Flag & Iwo Jima's Letter War U.S. Youku

      This is the director's companion film about the battle of Iwo Jima between the United States and Japan. It was released in the same year, and each tells it from the perspective of the United States and Japan. To be honest, I was attracted by this...

      Eastwood is an old scum, the older the better, the more perfect, this film and "Letters from Iwo Jima" can be called double walls!

      The old man gave me moved and strength again, not because of how bloody and heroic he photographed, but because he photographed the truth of human nature. The picture is dark, the scene is Hongdae, and the war scene is quite real, especially the guitar minor background soundtrack in the second half, which is very moving. PS: As long as necessary, heroes can be made up, such as in a certain place. 8

    Flags of Our Fathers quotes

    • John "Doc" Bradley: [At the mock Mount Suribachi in Soldier Field] You gotta be kidding.

      Bud Gerber: Hey, it took a lot of talented folks a long time to make that thing. Just wait till tonight when it's lit properly and there's thousands of cheering people in the stands, it's gonna look a lot better. So, stadium lights come down, spotlight comes up, you get your cue, you charge up this thing with the flag, you plant it at the top. You smile, you wave, you know the drill.

      John "Doc" Bradley: You want us to plant the flag on a pile of papier-mache.

      Bud Gerber: Hey, that's showbiz. And try to stand how you stood the first time you planted it. Just, you know, pretend the other three guys are with you.

      Ira Hayes: The *dead* guys.

    • Ira Hayes: I know it's a good thing, raising the money and that, 'cause we need it. But, I can't take them calling me a hero. All I did was try not to get shot. Some of the things I saw done, things I did, they weren't things to be proud of, you know? Mike... Mike was a hero. You ever meet him?

      Keyes Beech: No.

      Ira Hayes: Best Marine I ever met.

      Keyes Beech: You know, Chief, I think if Mike was sitting here instead of you, he'd be saying the same thing about himself, not being a hero.

      Ira Hayes: Maybe. He was a good guy, but I think that he'd be ashamed of me, seeing me the way I am.
