Flags Of Our Fathers: February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was
finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial
and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima,
which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in
history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount
Suribachi.
The inspiring photo capturing that moment became a symbol of victory to a nation
that had grown weary of war and made instant heroes of the six American soldiers
at the base of the flag, some of whom would die soon after, never knowing that
they had been immortalized. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in
being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted
only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and
dying without fanfare or glory.
'Flags of Our Fathers' is based on the bestselling book by James Bradley with
Ron Powers, which chronicled the battle of Iwo Jima and the fates of the flag
raisers and some of their brothers in Easy Company.
Letters From Iwo Jima: Academy Award nominee Ken Watanabe (The Last
Samurai, 'Batman Begins) stars as General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, the
American-educated general who courageously led the Japanese resistance to the
massive American onslaught of the island of Iwo Jima.
