This film tells about the battle of Iwo Jima between the United States and Japan at the end of World War II. The film mentioned that "Iwo Jima is Japanese territory, and the Japanese will fight bloody to the end." With the continuation of the war, the attitude towards war in the United States is also changing quietly. Every aspect needs "heroes", "symbols of victory" and other things calling on the people to donate the photos of "six soldiers flying the flag". However, the soldiers called "heroes" could not agree with this, because in reality, they saw that when a soldier fell into the sea, no one cared about it and let him drown; I saw politicians do it twice in order to get the military flag planted on the top of the mountain; I saw politicians keep silent about the truth of the photos for publicity effect; in short, the soldiers who became "heroes" knew all the truth.
At the end of the film, it focuses on describing the downfall of these "heroes" after the war, causing the audience to further reflect. This is also the film's greatest satire on the war, the US government, politicians and the military. In addition, the film is about the repressed atmosphere before the war. The portrayal is very good. The battle of the Marines landing on the island is a classic, and the scene of the fake hilltop built on the football field is quite similar to the plaza celebration in "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle". , this is a very good anti-war war movie
