On theiFrontline, There's No Timeifor Fear.
For 70,000 marines who fought with bombs blasting and guns blazing, the bloody battle for Iwo Jima was more than the turning point of World War II; it was the defining moment in their lives.
In the epic that The New York Times calls "a sweeping spectacle," Academy Award-winning director Clint Eastwood taps into the single greatest emotional truth of warfare: soldiers may fight for their country, but they die for their friends. Hailed by critics as "a film of awesome power and blistering provocation, an amazing feat" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), Flags Of Our Fathers is a powerful true story of heroism and bravery that should be shared and remembered.

The Shot Seen Round The World... - 3.5 out of 5 (2/6/2007)
It's probably the most famous war-related photograph in history. The image of U.S. soldiers raising the flag on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima. But what was the real story behind the photograph, and who were the men in it? That's the topic that Director Clint Eastwood explores in the reverent, but at times plodding, Flags Of Our Fathers.
The movie focuses on three of the men in the photograph: John Bradley (Ryan Phillippe); Ira Hayes (Adam Beach); and Rene Gagnon (Jesse Bradford),
