Flags of Our Fathers [Posted on 2008-07-02]
Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I like WWII movies since I have a connection to that era. Very well done.
2nd to Saving Private Ryan [Posted on 2008-07-14]
This flick is right up there with Saving Private Ryan as far as WW2 movies are concerned. Maybe the gore wasnt on the same level as SPR but the story was great. I am a Soilder my self and I was really touched and satisfied of the portrayal of the Corps, I realize this film has been uncarefully scrutinized by the likes of Mr Bruce Bains but I completely feel that his negative reviews are flawed and biased. This movie is a wonderful Eastwood masterpiece. It deserves 5 stars. The following is for Mr Bruce,
Bruce Bain you are defeating your purpose, you try to come across as some Intelectual Jarhead who is trying to educate the ignorant public. Well having said that you really portray yourself as some pompous leftwing narcissictic elitist scum of the earth that is probally in love with his so called writing abilities. Your message is so uncompelling and painful to read, you should try to be an editor for childrens books instead of dedicating your slimy fingers to contradict anyone and anything. Please quit hiding behind that you are or were a Marine, there are good and bad, smart and stupid, strong and weak, in every faction of society not excluding the Devil Dog society, you just happen to fall into the ladder category assuming you are who you say you are. But who cares? Probally just yourself, now go ahead and over analyze my comment and scrutinize every little character that I have written I will not be waiting for your egotistical response. Hooooahhhh!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a movie to entertain a bunch of blood thirsty action movie goers. If you find yourself getting bored because a lack of action or confused and disconnected because of the flashbacks then this movie is clearly above your intelectual level. It is almost like the movie isn't designed to entertain. Instead, it is more of a hommage to the thousands of veterans who were wounded or killed. This is an absolute masterpiece for anyone who is interested in WWII history. This is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. Thank you Clint Eastwood.
What was the Message? [Posted on 2008-11-16]
This movie was made with a sort of cynicism that drained the life out any real passion for making it. By focusing too much on the 'bad' side of America during the War in the Pacific, Clint Eastwood leaves the viewer with their own battle fatigue. Jumping from the war to modern times and back again and again during the whole movie was like being drug through the mud having to endure another one of hollywood leftist's anti-American rantings.
Poorly made and although it had potential, the movie will leave you wondering what message it is the viewer is supposed to swallow. The general message is: 'dislike your country for standing up to Imperial Japan, because underneath it all we were all just a bunch of western materialists at heart and that we should have lost' - I think.
