At the Cannes Film Festival, filmmaker Spike Lee criticized producer and director Clint Eastwood for not displaying African-American Marines who had fought on Iwo Jima. Eastwood's response was that the movie was about the marines who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi. He went on to explain that although African-Americans did fight on Iwo Jima (some can be seen during the briefing scene), the Marine Corps was segregated during World War II, and none of the men who raised the flag were black. Eastwood finally told Lee to "shut his face". Through the media, Lee responded that Eastwood was being an angry old man. Lee was filming Miracle at St. Anna (2008) at the time, a movie about four black soldiers fighting World War II in Italy.
The story about the flag raising being posed was true. It was started, ironically, by Joe Rosenthal. He did not know he had taken the famous photograph until he returned to the States. He did, however, take a second photograph of the five Marines and one Navy Corpsman gathered around the flag. When people asked if he had posed the photograph, he, thinking they were referring to the second photograph said "Of course". It was only after seeing the first photograph that he realized they were referring to that photograph and not the second one.
Clint Eastwood chose to film a large part of this movie in Iceland because the black sand on its beaches closely resembled Iwo Jima.
Clint Eastwood would deliberately not tell his actors where all of the special effects were rigged to explode in order to perfectly capture their looks of surprise. This was done with the actors' safety firmly in mind.
Some battle shots in the movie were made by placing Sony HVR-Z1U video cameras inside prop .50 caliber ammo cases and having extras run around with them. Clint Eastwood called these "trashcan shots".
"[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."
"John Bradley: Where is he? Oh god... James Bradley: He's not here dad. He died. John Bradley: Who? Who died? James Bradley: Iggy. John Bradley: Iggy. Christ, Iggy. I hadn't thought of him for years. How do you know about Iggy? James Bradley: You were calling for him, when you collapsed. John Bradley: I wasn't looking for Iggy. I was looking for you. I wanted to... I wanted to tell you I'm sorry I wasn't a better father, talk to you more, I just... I'm sorry. James Bradley: Sorry? You were the best father a man could have. John Bradley: Did I ever tell you they took us swimming? James Bradley: No, dad. John Bradley: After we planted the flag, we came down off the mountain and went swimming. It was the funniest thing. All this fighting, and we were jumping around in the water like kids. That's the way that I remember Iggy now."
