I saw Flags of our fathers today. It was very moving. At first I was a little disappointed. I guess I was expecting a war movie that sort of documented the batlle of Iwo jima. But it wasn't a war movie. It was a story about the six flag raisers. Iwo jima was just a part (a large part), bt still just a part in their lives. It was more or less a movie that showed their life stories and their experiences in combat. Once I realized that this wasn't a movie about Iwo but rather a movie about an extrodianary group of men and their experiences I loved it. My advice: If you are looking for a movie on Iwo Jima that expresses a chronological account of the battle. Then don't see this movie. If you want to see a story of a group of amazing guys that is very poignant and moving. Then see this movie. I liked and thought it was very well done. Basically this isn't a war movie. it is a drama with a historical battle as a partial backdrop.
