Flags of Our Fathers

Another addiction for a great movie. And this time, I am very addicted to one of Clint Eastwood's, Flags of Our Fathers. I know this movie is made in 2006, but unfortunately I just watched it last night, on May 2011. And I have to say, Flags of Our Fathers was not dissapointing me at all, eventhough I had to stay up all night. This movie is based on a photograph that was taken by Joe Rosenthal. In the photograph, we can see the raising of United States of America's flag on Mount Suribachi by six soldiers. And here is the trailer of the movie......


There are some memorable quotes I love from this movie. You should check them out!

"I finally came to the conclusion that he maybe he was right. Maybe there's no such thing as heroes. Maybe there are just people like my dad. I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called heroes. Heroes are something we create, something we need. It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us, but for my dad and these men, the risks they took, the wounds they suffered, they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside him, and if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them." - James Bradley, John Bradley's son

"People on the street corners, they looked at this picture and they took hope. Don't ask me why, I think it's a crappy picture, myself. You can't even see your faces! But it said we can win this war, are winning this war, we just need you to dig a little deeper. They want to give us that money. No, they want to give it to *you*." - Bud Gerber

"Nobody even noticed that second flag going up. Everybody saw that damn picture and made up their own story about it. But your dad and the others knew what they had done, and what they had not done. All your friends dying, it's hard enough to be called a hero for saving somebody's life. But for putting up a pole?" - Dave Severance

Another thing I adore from this movie? The taglines! "A Single Shot Can End The War". So, we may conclude that Flags of Our Fathers is one of great movie you should watch immediately!
