Flags of Our Fathers/ Red Sun, Black Sand
 

Anyone heard of this movie Clint Eastwood is making. Actually its two movies, "Flags of our fathers" which is about the 6 guys who raised the flag on Iwo Jima, and Lamps in the wind which will be released a few months later is about Iwo Jima from the Japs P.O.V. It sounds pretty intresting making two movies through two seperate POVs....Discuss if you will see it and what not.

Looking good. The first should be in a theater near you next year and Lamps Before the Wind is just starting production.

FooF was a good book, written by the same guy who wrote Flyboys, which is an excellent book.

Agreed, I really enjoyed FooF. I thought that the author, even after describing the atrocities performed by the Japanese against captured Marines, was very respectful towards them (IIRC, he even lived there for a while).

i just started reading FooF

FooF!

=KaoS= FooF is gay

necrobump oOo:

I didnt want to make a new topic off a topic already made. Now on with yoru inquiries.

Hard to say if this will do well or not, most people got kinda bored of ww2 movies and games a few years ago.

Yes but most were about Europe happy:

Only pacific theatre ones i can think of offhand were "the great raid" which was good, pearl harbor was turned into the usual hollywood love story shite and that windtalkers was oOo:

Thin red line but i hated that movie. It came out the same time SPR came out,that was suicide.

rofl @ jaxun sniper pfc in this movie too....

Yeah rofl he plays the tough gritty Sgt Strank. rock:

it was way too artsy and self indulgent.
