Flags of our Fathers (2006)

Director: Clint Eastwood

Starring: Ryan Phillippe, Barry Pepper, Joseph Cross

The life stories of the six men who raised the flag at the Battle of Iwo Jima, a turning point in World War II.

What an absolutely dreadful film!! The entire film revolves around a single picture, and the American flag! Oh, so patriotic! This was completely and utterly boring with bland characters and the same bloody dialogue over and over and over. Even the visuals, photography and cinematography were bland, and the film was monochromatic grey. Some scenes looked completely black and white. The film has no color. There’s no character development, and I honestly didn’t care about any of the characters. Furthermore, the film is way overlong.

This is by far one of the worst ‘war’ films I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. Strictly for Americans only. The film was also a huge box office flop, so that proves the point… Yawn…
