flag of our father be a well write account of the impact on the life of three young serviceman by a single photograph see back home a an image of victory . little do nearly everyone know at the time and and apparently even today and the photograph depict the 2nd raising of the flag . the hero in the photograph felt far from heroic . clint eastwood juxtaposes memory of the preparation lead up to and in addition to the actual event at the battle of iwo jima with ceremony after ceremony of war bond fund raising and the different effect it have on each man . to some and this jumping around and time wise and may be a bit confusing and especially with the inconsistent use of a narrator . the battle scene be and at time and gruesome and graphic and but be not overdone and successfully instill a sense of what be be really like in the costly battle the united state fought . the most gruesome scene and though and be leave to the imagination . this be the first depiction of the battle of iwo jima i have see that attempt to divulge the mostly unknown face of the men make famous by a photograph and the problem they face at home . it be also one of the only movie i have see where all ( save 1 ) of the audience stay for all of the credit and when the credit end and there be a long and silent moment share by all . in summary represent powerful . i be look forward to eastwood letter from iwo jima ( http represent or or www . imdb . com or title or tt0498380 or ) .
