Film Reviews: Flags of our Fathers
Clint Eastwood’s latest film FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS is no MYSTIC RIVER or MILLION DOLLAR BABY but it is definitely a story that would not be typical of Hollywood. The story surrounds the three living soldiers (of six) who helped raise the American flag atop the mountain of Iwo Jima that helped change the American outlook on WWII. This is not a story of heroism, it is the story of three men who believe they are unheroic in a time when America needed heroes. It is the story of three men forced to tell a lie in order to help the American government save face after a simple “typo” becomes the inspiration that our country needed in order to purchase war bonds to keep the government from going bankrupt during the war.
It is the exact opposite of 2006's other early film of heroism WORLD TRADE CENTER which could be labeled the poster child for heroism. Eastwood goes out of his way to present a story in which there are no heroes in war, just the survivors left behind.
Writers William Broyles, Jr. and Paul Haggis took a chance with the screenplay in its unconventional narrative. It is told through flashbacks within flashbacks with time periods jumping all over the place. It is very fragmented but it also represents and allows us to look into the minds of the soldiers whose past haunts them even long after the war is over.
Ryan Phillippe is very strong as John “Doc” Bradley in the film but it is Adam Beach as Ira Hayes who steels the screen every chance he gets. Beach’s character is tormented by the war and knows he is no hero when so many of his friends died over on Iwa Jima. He drinks himself to alcoholism to hide away from his fears; he only wanting to tell the American people the truth about what happened on that island.
Its good to see Eastwood take a chance on younger actors especially since the last time he did so was with Charlie Sheen in THE ROOKIE.
I hate to admit that I was hoping throughout the film to see him pop up as a senator or a high ranking military leader, but he did not. He decided to stay completely behind the scenes on this film (although his son Kyle Eastwood does make an appearance, but doesn’t survive long in that his head gets separated from the rest of him early in the battle on the island).
