About this product

Product Information

Clint Eastwood's early-21st-century output has endeared him to Academy Awards voters, and he makes another bid for their attention with this tale of the flag-raising at Iwo Jima. Eastwood cuts back and forth between the battle that led to the flag being firmly planted in enemy soil, and the tour undertaken by three of the flag-planting Marines (played by Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford, and Adam Beach) in the aftermath of World War II. The re-creation of Iwo Jima features impressive APOCALYPSE NOW-style battle scenes, the air full of thick plumes of smoke, zinging bullets, and pounding explosions. But the most interesting part of the movie comes as the three men are paraded in front of the American public, as they vacillate between embarrassment and anger at the public relations campaign they find themselves embroiled in, while also pleading with the public to help provide funds for the soldiers who are still at war. Eastwood uses a script co-written by CRASH director Paul Haggis and a source book written by James Bradley, the son of John "Doc" Bradley (played by Phillippe in the film), to tell this affecting tale. Tom Stern, who worked with Eastwood on MILLION DOLLAR BABY, employs his skills as a cinematographer once again, deftly coupling vast panoramic battle scenes with darkly contemplative moments between the touring soldiers. Fascinatingly, the director's next jaunt behind the lens was LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA, which provided the Japanese perspective on this famous event.

  • The Good and the Bad of War

    You see the valor of our young men struggle against all odds and over come. You also see why we are to hate war and how it can destroy even after the advent of peace. The high points of history seem to be very well displayed as a well laid out lesson plan. The characters and the movie props were excellent. I was completely drawn into the story. You quickly learn to respect all veterans after watching this excellent piece of Hollywood film.

  • Great history movie.

    Great history movie. This movie gives the American perspective of the battle at IWork Jimโ€™s. It highlights soldiers sent back to the US to help sell war bonds.

    A very good and interesting movie about the 1945 battle of Iwo Jima and the five Marines and one Navy corpsman who were involved in raising the flag on Iwo Jima and the after effects of that event on their lives.
