This movie stars, Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Cross, Jesse Bradford, Robert Patrick, Paul Walker, and Adam Beach. Directed by Clint Eastwood.
The story is about the 7 men who raised U.S flag at the battle of Iwo Jima, during WWII. The photo that was taken immortalized them. But only 3 that raised the flag would survive to tell the story.So the U.S government decides to used them as the poster childs of the War. Parading them around in order for the American people to buy War Bonds. They did this knowing that they knew the truth.
Ok so the beginning was pretty cool, war, people getting shot at. Body parts flyin everywhere. Then since this movie is a drama. Well I dont have to give you the definiton of a Drama. I was falling asleep. Eastwood did a lot of flashbacks. It all takes place in 3 different time period. The soilders flashbacks of Iwo Jima, them during their War Bond Tours, and in present time when one of the survivors was telling the story to one of the sons of Ryan Phillippe's charactor.
If your into dramas, like Eastwoods movies. Check this one out. Its the same style as Million Dollar Baby.
Also like his other movies this ones long. About 2hr 25 with preview.
Thats all
