Review of Flags of Our Fathers (2006) by Dale W — 02 Feb 2010
This film makes a good point about the PR side of war, the peculiar nature of being a 'hero' and what it does to the person who becomes one. The battle scenes were very well done, almost gruesomely so.
All in all though, it felt like a half hour story spun out into two hours. No part of it was extremely memorable and all of it was rather too American for non-Americans to find particularly interesting.
Rather forgettable.
