Plot: In 1945, the Marines attack twelve thousand Japaneses protecting the twenty square kilometers of the sacred Iwo Jima island in a very violent battle. When they reach the Mount Suribachi and six soldiers raise their flag on the top, the picture becomes a symbol in a post Great Depression America. The government brings the three survivors to America to raise funds for war, bringing hope to desolate people, and making the three men heroes of the war. However, the traumatized trio has difficulty dealing with the image built by their superiors, sharing the heroism with their mates.

Quotes:

General "Howlin' Mad" Smith: [on the telephone] I was promised ten days of shelling. You're giving me three and saying that's the best you can do?... I don't give a shit! My men hit that beach with less than ten, and I'll be taking them home to their mamas in buckets!... Yeah, I know exactly why. Because every Navy man with scrambled egg on his chest wants to offload us here and sail to Japan so they can be there for the big finish, tell their kids they captured the Emperor all by themselves. Well, you aren't going to Japan unless we take this piece of shit island! These little pricks are dug in... Okay, appreciate that, Jim. Three days is a fucking beautiful thing.

Colonel Chandler Johnson: Our target, Island X, is an ugly, smelly, dirty little scab of rock called Iwo Jima. It means "Sulfur Island," which accounts for the smell. Looks sort of like a burnt pork chop if you ask me. After twenty straight days of bombing, you won't find a blade of grass or a twig on it. It wasn't that pretty to start with.

[last lines]::James Bradley: I finally came to the conclusion that he maybe he was right. Maybe there's no such thing as heroes. Maybe there are just people like my dad. I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called heroes. Heroes are something we create, something we need. It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us, but for my dad and these men, the risks they took, the wounds they suffered, they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside him, and if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them.

Franklin Sousley: So, where do you think they're sending us?::Mike Strank: I think it's the desert, Frankllin.::Franklin Sousley: Well, that makes no sense at all.::Mike Strank: Well, it's just military psychology. They always train you for the desert on a volcano.::Franklin Sousley: Aw, now you're just havin' fun with me.::Mike Strank: Harlon, take your men right. Watch for Bedouins.::Harlon Block: Yes, sir.::Franklin Sousley: Hey, what's a Bedouin?::Harlon Block: It's a guy with a camel.::Franklin Sousley: Well, Jeez Louise, maybe we *are* going to the desert.

Lindberg: [while losing at poker] Chief, I had very little to do with Sitting Bull's death, so maybe you could stop taking it out on me.::Ira Hayes: Different tribe. The Pimas fought on the side of the white man.::Gust: See, now that's smart.::Hank Hansen: That *is* smart.::Ira Hayes: Yeah. Worked real good for us.

Lundsford: You actually chose the Marines because they had the best uniforms?::Rene Gagnon: No sense being a hero if you don't look like one.

Mike Strank: Any man that doesn't have his masturbation papers in order better get them signed by tomorrow night or he ain't going overseas.::Gust: I got mine already.::Lundsford: Oh, yeah, I'm square.::Franklin Sousley: Wait, wait. Why am I just hearing about this?::Mike Strank: That's horseshit, Franklin! I don't have to repeat everything twice for you.::Franklin Sousley: No, I didn't hear nothin' about no masturbating papers!::Ira Hayes: Heard they were running short.::Franklin Sousley: You know, nobody tells me nothing. That's real nice, guys!::Mike Strank: All right, get your ass over to the officer in charge of records. Maybe he's got some more left. Leave your smokes. I'll play for you.::Franklin Sousley: Thanks, Mike.::Mike Strank: Listen, if he calls you an idiot, you take it like a man, okay? Just *do not* leave without signing them.

Belle Block: Oh my Lord, that's Harlon!::Belle's Young Son: Where?::Belle Block: Right there. Planting that flag, that's your brother.::Belle's Young Son: Ma, all you can see is his behind.::Belle Block: And that's his. I powdered and diapered it, I know my son. That's him. Go get your father.::Belle's Young Son: Daddy, Ma's got a picture of Harlon's keister in the paper!

Captain Severance: Look, I've had to make a few other changes. I'm promoting you, to platoon sergeant.::Mike Strank: Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.::Captain Severance: You bet.::Mike Strank: The trouble is, I already told my men I'd see them through this.::Captain Severance: That your James Cagney impersonation? 'Cause I've heard better.::Mike Strank: Well, I'll keep practicing, then.::Captain Severance: Look, this isn't your first time through this. You don't need to prove anything.::Mike Strank: No, sir.::Captain Severance: You're not the *best* sergeant I've ever had, just the best one that's still walking. Block's a good man.::Mike Strank: Yes, sir, he is.::Captain Severance: The men know him, he can step right in. You know, I have actually thought this through. Platoon sergeant puts you further away from the bullets.::Mike Strank: I already gave them my word, sir. I told them I'd bring them all home to their mothers, which means I already lied to half of them. Can't lie to the rest.

Captain Severance: This isn't just any island to them. This isn't Tarawa, Guam, Tinian, or Saipan. This is Japanese soil, sacred ground. Twelve thousand Japanese defenders in eight square miles, they will not leave politely, gentlemen! It's up to us to convince them.
