Description

Flags Of Our Fathers (2 Disc Set)

A Single Shot Can End The War

February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi.

The inspiring photo capturing that moment became a symbol of victory to a nation that had grown weary of war and made instant heroes of the six American soldiers at the base of the flag, some of who would die soon after, never knowing that they had been immortalised. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or glory.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Clint Eastwood's mas­terpiece. " – Matthew Lucas
  • " Possibly the richest testament Hollywood has yet made about the paroxysm of World War II … an astounding movie on every level, not the least of which is its common humanity. " – Burl Burlingame
  • " A human-sized contemplation of propaganda and fame " – Fernando F. Croce
