Title: Too many flashbacks, disjointed
Product review: The book is far better than this Eastwood CD. The book is more complete, and more comprehensive in the story of this vicious bloody battle and the men who fought and died there. The movie has far too many flashbacks(and sometimes flashbacks within flashbacks) and seems to focus more on the lives of the 3 surviving flag raisers than the battle itself and all the brave US Marines and sailors who died there. The movie is often hard to follow and I can only assume the viewer is supposed to know what the actor is thinking at times without the benefit of dialogue, but I couldn't and I read the book.I would not buy this CD knowing what I know now, but I highly recommend the book by James Bradley. His is the real story.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
