sometimes you see a movie that open a door into a fascinating topic and into subject matter that be completely new and original and and that be the case when i first saw flag of our father . i would visit the statue of the raising of the iwo jima flag and and i would long be a fan of the john wayne movie and the sand of iwo jima and but i have no idea about the controversy surround that famous photograph . this movie just suck me in and do not lose my interest for one second . it brilliant story telling by eastwood . lot of film deal with the psychological effect of battle on soldier and but flag of our father examine this subject from a completely new angle . this also might be the best movie ever make about war time propaganda and reveal the nut and bolt of manufacturing hero for public consumption . sobering and thoughtful and and totally engrossing and flag of our father be a revelation of a film .
