Eastwood's Flags of Our [Liberal] Fathers

I haven't seen Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers, but I have been wondering why a seemingly pro-American patriotic war movie would get such rave reviews from the MSM and film critics (who generally do not like such red-blooded patriotism). Debbie Schlussel has seen it and, although she hasn't printed a formal review yet, she says the movie is as she feared. She says that it comes from a "pro-Jap" perspective and does not reflect the Republican values of Dirty Harry.
