That feels weird, with so many people complimenting you on a day you didn't care about

I just watched the banner of my father and then I look back on the midfield battle of Billy Lynn I watched before, which is quite similar.

There is a line in the film, roughly speaking, the flag belongs to the whole camp, so I don't want to give it to a politician to hang at home, and replace the flag on it for me.

Soldiers on the battlefield probably only think about how to survive and win the war. No one thinks about how to make a name for themselves when their lives are threatened.

Many ethnic minorities fought for their country in the war, but even heroes were discriminated against, and Indians who were obviously more American than Americans were driven to remote places.

I will read Iwo Jima's letter tomorrow, and look at both sides of the same war, hoping to better understand the war.

    We have watched a lot of reflections on the war, but this film is still wonderful. Because of too much respect for the facts, the emphasis has been placed on the understanding of the heroes by the three soldiers. This war film is not exciting and intense, but it is internal. The analysis is wonderful. "Letters from Iwo Jima" is fictional, so it is beautiful and human, but war is not inhuman.

    Compared with its sister film, Iwo Jima is still worse, and the swimming at the end is not bad

Flags of Our Fathers quotes

  • [last lines]

    James Bradley: I finally came to the conclusion that he maybe he was right. Maybe there's no such thing as heroes. Maybe there are just people like my dad. I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called heroes. Heroes are something we create, something we need. It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us, but for my dad and these men, the risks they took, the wounds they suffered, they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside him, and if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them.

  • Franklin Sousley: So, where do you think they're sending us?

    Mike Strank: I think it's the desert, Frankllin.

    Franklin Sousley: Well, that makes no sense at all.

    Mike Strank: Well, it's just military psychology. They always train you for the desert on a volcano.

    Franklin Sousley: Aw, now you're just havin' fun with me.

    Mike Strank: Harlon, take your men right. Watch for Bedouins.

    Harlon Block: Yes, sir.

    Franklin Sousley: Hey, what's a Bedouin?

    Harlon Block: It's a guy with a camel.

    Franklin Sousley: Well, Jeez Louise, maybe we *are* going to the desert.
