Monday Night Movie: "Flags of Our Fathers"

132 minutes. Rated R. Produced by Clint Eastwood. In telling the story of the six men who raised the American flag of victory on the battle-ravaged Japanese island of Iwo Jima on February 23rd, 1945, Eastwood takes us deep into the horror of war while emphasizing how three of the surviving flag-raisers became reluctant celebrities ? and resentful pawns in a wartime publicity campaign ? after their flag-raising was immortalized by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal in the most famous photograph in military history.
