August 27, 2008Based on the book by James Bradley ....(Directors: Clint Eastwood & Steven Spielberg) Wonderful tribute to the men who died & who survived WW II in Japan. Story deals with the ceremonial welcome and publiciity surrounding the "heroes" of that war, cerntering on the lives of a choice few of these fine men.
Adam Beach portrays an Indian hero and survivor with fellow solidiers Harry Pepper (The Green Mile, Battlefield Earth), Jamie Bell, (King Kong, Undertow), Jesse Bradford (Heights, Eulogy, Hackers), Neal McDonough (The Guardian, Walking Tall) & Paul Walker. Tale is told from each of the perspectives & their familes......Robert Patrick (Terminator II, Walk the Line) has a short role as a Captain in this film.

November 30, 2007I really love this movie and how it shows a side to the war we rarely think of.
is it just me or does Ryan Phillippe look like Channing Tatum? -
July 7, 2007I really liked the movie... I can see where they were coming from with the Heros... that they weren't but those who gave their lives were...
on a simular note:
Show great respect for anyone serving our country... whether for the war or not...
...and I know what it is like awaiting news of someone you love who is over in a war... -

A little long but true to the time period..and a nice perspective, narrated by one of the soldier's children!

October 28, 2006I'd LOVE to see this movie. My Grandpa fought on Iwo Jima...of 300-something guys in his "company" as they call it, only 12 came back alive...and my Grandpa was one of them. Trips me out...incredibly heartbreaking to think of it.
