Movie Description
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.

Editorial Reviews
"[H]ere, at age 76, is Clint Eastwood saying something new and vital about the war in his new film....The film works, among other things, as a gentle corrective to Steven Spielberg's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (10/20/2006)

"Eastwood sets his film in two different worlds, cutting back and forth between the Battle of Iwo Jima, in all its shattering chaos and horror..." -- Grade: B-
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (10/27/2006)

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Eastwood's film, a fierce attack on wartime hypocrisy and profiteering, is also an indelibly moving salute to the soldiers who don't deserve to walk alone for following their own sense of duty."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (11/02/2006)

5 stars out of 5 -- "A film of awesome emotional power....Eastwood handles the film' parallel storylines with astonishing confidence and technical dexterity."
Uncut - Allan Jones (01/01/2007)

"It is a dexterous sleight of hand on Eastwood's part that he simultaneously commemorates the dignified humanity of the three servicemen while excoriating the bluster of those in command on all sides."
Sight and Sound - Ali Jaafar (01/01/2007)

Ranked #3 in Rolling Stone's "The 10 Best Movies Of 2006" -- "[A] single, stinging portrait of war..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (12/28/2006)

Ranked #13 in Film Comment's "20 Best Films Of 2006."
Film Comment - Film Comment Staff (01/01/2007)

"Only Eastwood could pull off this act of artistic bravery....We agree, Clint, a picture really can make a difference."
Film Comment - Paul Arthur (01/01/2007)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he war sequences are brutally realistic and visually arresting..."
Ultimate DVD - Natalie Braine (03/01/2007)

    I wasn't quite as moved as some of the professional reviewers. Flags of Our Fathers is a moderately interesting war movie. It tells the story of the famous picture of the marines hoisting the flag at Iwo Jima. The film moves from present to past... from first person to third... all with relative ease. But the trick of doing that sort of story in my opinion is to make the audience care about the characters. I ended up not being emotionally invested in any of the three leads. And I think thats because after the initial storming of the beach (and some sporadic gun fights and flashbacks) there is not a lot of peril faced by the characters. The movie ends up being a sort of prose-y remembrance of a mans father... and a pseudo-documentary following the PR campaign launched by that photo. Im also not a hundred percent convinced that this photo saved the war effort.... I would have to believe it was slightly more complex than that. The film is acted well, directed well... its technically amazing... but the story is only so-so. And thats why I can only give it a mild recommendation.
