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.

    People who have not experienced war will never know the cruelty of war, when their appearance is eroded by years, but I believe they will still dream of the blood of their brothers flying, can still hear artillery fire through eardrums, bullets in their ears , In the sky filled with gunpowder, the wounded soldiers shouted for the guards. There are no heroes in the war, only survivors. The flag of Mount Oriba does not belong to the soldiers who were injured by the war. It only belongs to the product of the operation of the media and capital. After watching it, there is unspeakable sadness hoarding in my heart, and I admire the director's skill.

    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.

Flags of Our Fathers quotes

  • 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.

  • John "Doc" Bradley: Who are these "Gold Star Mothers?"

    Bud Gerber: That's what we're calling the mothers of the dead flag-raisers. You present each mother with a flag, they say a few words, people will shit money. It'll be so moving.
