Movie Trailer: Flags of Our Fathers
The trailer is somewhat misleading since the film has precious little to do with Iwo Jima and more to do with the United States Government using veterans an pawns in a marketing scheme to fool the public.
The trailer makes this out to be a Saving Private Ryan derivative which it's not. It never reaches that level. The follow-up to this film, Letters from Iwo Jima is far superior, but of course, there's no manipulative American Government to slam when you're focusing on the Japanese.
Screenwriter: Paul Haggis (Quantum of Solace) and William Broyles Jr. (Jarhead)
Director: Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven)
Actors: Ryan Phillippe (Stop-Loss), Adam Beach (Joe Dirt), Barry Pepper (Battlefield Earth), Paul Walker (The Fast and the Furious), Robert Patrick (Terminator II: Judgment Day), Jesse Bradford (W.) and Neal McDonough (Minority Report)
