Flags of our Fathers


In our publications class we watch a movie called "Flags of our Fathers". The movie took place in 1945 in this mountain called "Mount Suribachi" on Iwo Jima Island, near Japan. Its basically a war movie, the directors name is Clint Eastwood The movie was relased in 2006, they had mostly music from the 40's I dont know who they are. The main actors on the movie are Adam Beach who played Ira Hayes, Jesse BradFord played Rene Gagnon, and Ryan Philippe played John Bradley. Most of the main actors in the movie are around there 20's and 30's.
The movie starts out when a old man explains what happens in the war and who set the flag on the hill (There is a picture on the right). But there were actually two flags set up on the hill the original flag was taken down, and a replacement flag that they put up on the hill and they took down the real flag. There were six men that put the real flag up and got there picture token and the main actors that had survived the war where famous and the other three had died later on in the movie. The title says it all about the movie, which was based on a true story. Well if you like war movies you should watch this, it's filled with lots of action, and I thought the movie was good.
