Product Description
Titles Comprise:
Gran Torino: Clint Eastwood returns to the big screen as Walt Kowalski, a cantankerous veteran of the Korean War, who catches his young Hmong neighbour attempting to steal his cherished 1972 Gran Torino, urging him to try and reform the boy of his burgeoning criminal ways.
Flags of Our Fathers: February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi.
The inspiring photo capturing that moment became a symbol of victory to a nation that had grown weary of war and made instant heroes of the six American soldiers at the base of the flag, some of whom would die soon after, never knowing that they had been immortalized. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or glory.
Flags of Our Fathers is based on the bestselling book by James Bradley with Ron Powers, which chronicled the battle of Iwo Jima and the fates of the flag raisers and some of their brothers in Easy Company.
Letters from Iwo Jima: The island of Iwo Jima stands between the American military force and the home islands of Japan. Therefore the Imperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from falling into American hands and providing a launching point for an invasion of Japan. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi is given command of the forces on the island and sets out to prepare for the imminent attack. General Kuribayashi, however, does not favor the rigid traditional approach recommended by his subordinates, and resentment

You can't go wrong with this collection. Unforgiven - probably the best western ever. Gran Torino - fantastic swansong for everyones favourite actor. Mystic River - All star award winning drama. And the Flags of our Fathers / Letters from Iwo Jima pair of WWII dramas. What's more - the boxset contains individual films - so it's easy to integrate into your collection - and you can sell a duplicate or the odd unwanted film on ebay.

Not all actors can make the move from actor to director and not all those who do can make it successfully. Clint Eastwood is an obvious exception and, in my humble opinion, his films have grown in stature over the years. His early films, e.g. the "Dirty Harry" series and the range of westerns were all good examples of the genre, indeed, they helped establish genres but as he has grown older and matured, his films have deepened and, in place of the (some would say gratuitous) violence, "messages" and "meanings" of a much more humane, philosophical and generous nature are emerging. "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" are excellent films, shedding the macho approach to war and looking at the effects on the lives of those involved - a war from both points of view. "Gran Torino", its central character possibly one of the embittered, post-war generation, tackles gang culture, city ghettoes, the generation-gap and the difficulties of stepping outside one's atavistic existence to see other human beings and is a moving film with a surprising ending."Mystic River" and "Unforgiven" complete the collection, both great films.
RJ0521 (Bielefeld)'s review and the product details give all the additional information required but, suffice to say, this is an excellent collection from a director who has matured into the directorial chair with ease and an ability (and the financial clout) to choose his increasingly sensitive and sophisticated stories (in the best sense of the word) with great care and portray them on screen with a sensitive, acute eye for what works to drive the stories and plots forward.
Well worth the money - a lot cheaper than an evening at the cinema and hours of thought-provoking enjoyment.
