Flags Of Our Fathers

Anyone seen anything about the movie Flags Of Our Fathers? From what I have seen it is supposed to be the life stories of the six men who raised the flag at The Battle of Iwo Jima. I wonder if it is going to be somewhat accurate or if they will do to it what they did to Pearl Harbor.

Saw the movie and it was amazing. Not for its special effects (which btw, were spectacular), but in the way it showed what the concept of the hero is to the American public, and how that concept compared to the individuals who raised the flag. It goes into unbelievable depth to show the true stories of the flag raisers. this was a true war movie, because it did not focus so much on the battles as it did on the people, and the sheer brutality of warfare. There were some gruesome scenes to say the least.......but I've never seen a movie like this one. I would rank it above "Saving Private Ryan".
