Hi to everybody...tonight, hubby and I decided to go to Sky Box Office and watch 'Flags of our Fathers' directed by Clint Eastward about the battle for Iwo Jima...
It was a very well made film and gritty as well...though that's putting it mildly...it showed the horrors of war and the effect on the survivors very well...but it also revealed something I didn't know about the finances of the USA towards the end of the war...I won't say anything else about that, because the one thing I hate is somebody telling me all about a film, which I've yet to see and want to...
I can highly recommend this one though...and there's an interesting addition to this...the Japanese have brought out a film about it at the same time called 'Letters from Iwo Jima' from their perspective, which some people consider to be even better than the American film, but I will see that tomorrow evening with hubby and let you know our opinion for what it's worth after seeing them both :yes: The one thing that's good about the film tonight, it wasn't sentimental at all, and I didn't actually shed a tear until the very end when the real photographs of the individuals in it were shown, and actual pictures of the beaches of Iwo Jima that the horror truly hit me then I cried, because these were the real people and most were dead...
So, my friends, that's the end of my day approaching...I feel a lot better today, and it looks like we might even make it to the theatre tomorrow...the weather though has changed and it's been dreary and wet today but not really too cold...just dreary and grey...hope it's a bit brighter tomorrow as I hate going out in the wet...
All that's left now is to hope you have a restful night, sweet dreams, and I send you all big hugs...:wave: night night...
