Phil and Emily continue their mini series on Oscar-winning Best Director follow-ups from the 2000s with Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers. Joined by Mitchell Beaupre, editor and podcast host at Letterboxd, they dig into Eastwood’s haunting take on the Battle of Iwo Jima and the myth making around Joe Rosenthal’s famous photograph of soldiers raising the flag.
The conversation unpacks Eastwood’s bold decision to explore both the battlefield and the uneasy homefront tours, the fractured narrative structure, and the film’s relationship to its companion piece, Letters from Iwo Jima. Along the way, they discuss Eastwood’s casting instincts, his recurring themes of masculinity, guilt, and heroism, and how the movie reflects broader questions about American war films and cultural memory.
