While its good to see that someone finally provided a detailed synopsis of the film, it needs alot of editing. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.130.28.89 ( talk The flag raising has nothing to do with this movie and isn't even mentioned. This movie is "Letters From Iwo Jima" which tells of the battle from the Japanese side. This movie is not about the flag raising.
