Flags Of Our Fathers (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

In 2006, renowned actor/director Clint Eastwood presented two critically acclaimed WWII companion films about the Battle of Iwo Jima, approaching the same battlefield from two different perspectives. On the Japanese side, Letters from Iwo Jima recalls the final days of the Japanese soldiers stationed at Iwo Jima through the letters they left behind. On the American side, Flags of Our Fathers follows the soldiers who raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi in the iconic picture that came to symbolize Iwo Jima in the United States. While both films carry strong, starkly human messages about the devastation of war and the heroes that come of them, Flags of Our Fathers makes a further statement about the politics and psychological aftermath of war, a message that is particularly poignant in light of the current state of the world.

The film occupies two time lines, jumping back and forth between the intense explosions and gunfire of the Battle of Iwo Jima and the soldiers' no less taxing post-war experience in the States. The flag is raised on February 23, 1945, the fourth day of the campaign, and of the six soldiers pictured, three would die on the island in the line of duty. The remaining three - John Bradley (Ryan Phillippe), Rene Gagnon (Jesse Bradford), and Ira Hayes (Adam Beach) - are welcomed home as heroes, and then reluctantly paraded around the country on a government public relations campaign. Angry, frustrated, guilt-ridden, and embarrassed, the men must carry the emotional scars of war, and the burden of a government-exploited heroism. Flags of Our Fathers is based on the bestselling novel by James Bradley, son of John Bradley, with a screenplay co-written by Paul Haggis (Crash).

Director: Clint Eastwood

提名金球?最佳導演

影片根據二次大戰真人事蹟改編。一九四五年二月，二次大戰歐洲戰線接近尾聲，但在太平洋上的戰爭依然血腥慘烈。而最轟動及決定性一役，發生在硫磺島上。命運安排五名海軍及一名看護兵在硫磺島折缽山(Suribachi)上共同舉起美國軍旗，並被一位戰地記者永遠記錄在一幀照片上。這張隨手拍下的照片傳回美國後，不單令六名美軍頓時成為舉國上下的英雄，亦扭轉了美國人對太平洋戰事悲觀的看法。這張照片早成為戰時美國英雄的象徵，是二戰時最令人難忘的畫面之一。

照片不經意塑造的英雄形象，改變了六名升旗者的一生。當中三人於數天後戰死，三名生還的士兵日後返回美國。他們當天只是順手協助戰友升旗，實是微不足道，相比之下，在戰場上壯烈犧牲的士兵卻得不到應有的光榮，生還者就背負?這份罪惡感度過餘生。

It is the most indelible image of the Pacific War - a moment in time caught on film of five Marines and one Navy Corpsman raising the U.S. flag on Mount Suribachi mere days into the vicious battle for the Japanese garrison of Iwo Jima, a desolate island of black sand beaches and sulfurous caves.

For the men caught in the photo, raising the flag is one small formality in the midst of a grueling battle; but to those back home, the image of these men wordlessly working together to prevail against devastating odds instantly reshapes the notion of a hero. It captivates an American public hungry for hope and weary of a seeming war without end. It gives mothers a reason to believe their sons will come back alive, and meaning to those grieving for sons who won't come back at all.
