flag of our father be a well organised picture that flow rather nicely on the issue it wish to address . however and it be hamper by it depiction of the survive member who lift the flag on iwo jima . although base on fact rather than fiction the character all seem to be stereotypical and or fulfil role so a to compare and contrast against one another . you have one individual who be happy to be in the public eye and another who be angry that they be receive such plaudit and and lastly the indifferent but stable individual who be central to the whole story . it do have a strong emotional core and but do not offer anything different to the many other war film that have come before . it be a sombre study of the background behind the iconic image of america at that time and and for it factual and historical focus it should be appreciate .
