7. Flags of Our Fathers – Film Beyond War
Directed by Clint Eastwood, Flags of Our Fathers (2006) recreates the historic battle when US Marines raised the American flag on Iwo Jima during World War II.Grounded on the nonfiction book of the same name, the film does n’t just concentrate on the battle it explores how war icons are made and how history occasionally distorts the verity. Though it was n’t a box office megahit, critics praised Eastwood’s commitment to literal delicacy.
