It is said that it is interesting to watch together with "Letter from Iwo Jima". Heroes are always distorted by history and forgotten by people. "Billy Lynn's Halftime Story" is much the same. But I feel that this film is more meaningful~ In the battle of Iwo Jima, the male protagonist had a chance encounter and a few comrades went to the hillside of Iwo Jima to put up flags on the hillside of Iwo Jima in order to excite the military spirit. . But Oolong's is that they planted the second national flag, because a boss collected the first one, and the people who planted the first national flag died in battle. After the government knew about it, it couldn't do anything because the media had already announced it to the people of the whole country. In the end, only the three of them were left to plant the flag. They acted as heroes of the people, using that title to benefit the government as part of the mission. One of them was an Indian who always felt guilty for his actions. His comrades were killed in battle, but he achieved their glory and got drunk all day. The boss dropped him back to the front. Others also completed the performance task of raising the flag and returned to the front line. Later the war ended. The Indians were depressed all day and died of drunkenness on the farmland. Another started to use the glory to start a life of hanging, and later because of peace gradually forgotten, reduced to watching the door. The male protagonist buried the matter until his dying son discovered it and published it.

    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

    Banners and heroes are all made according to needs. The true story is not exciting, but it should not be buried. The old cowboy is exported, and it's fine.

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.
