Review of Flags of Our Fathers (2006) by Allen H — 26 Dec 2013
Sound: Very nice orchestral sound track; not intrusive, helps draw you away from the savagery of the war.
90/100.
Technical: Well shot with excellent film grading and muted colors, consistent throughout. Excellent recreation of the battle and period.
100/100.
Narrative: Non linear historical narrative; the plot points branch from main characters via flashbacks. This is acceptable for a historical drama give exposition to characters.
90/100.
Character/Acting: Well acted, truthful to the psyche of the characters.
100/100.
Did I like it: Yes, the realism of the tragedy of war and the unwanted attention for heroism.
100/100.
Artistic merit: Part of what is considered a dyad with Letters From Iwo Jima, these films bring an interesting concept to show both sides of a battle.
100/100.
Total score 96.6/100.
