thread_title:  Jewish American Catholic? 

message: One of the pioneers of moving pictures was a Jewish Brit whose most famous newsreel clip showed general Lord Roberts raising a flag at Pretoria in 1900. That moviemaker's name was Joseph Rosenthal.109.155.228.178 (talk) 09:40, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coincidence 

message: To whoever just added the paragraph stating that this film spliced Genaust's actual color 16mm footage of the flagraising into the film--are you sure?  I haven't seen the film in a while, but I recall that the three survivors and the three extras rasing the flag actually paused in the positions in the photo before fully raising it.  That definitely didn't happen in Genaust's footage.  Plus Sands was a black and white film.  Also, I've seen pictures taken on the set showing that Ira Hayes was having trouble keeping up with the other guys as they riased the flag.  I'm not going to revert your edit just yet, but I think you're dead wrong on this.  Sir Rhosis 20:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been a while since I've seen the film, but I think the anon is correct. If memory serves, they really did show the actual footage Genaust shot. Raul654 20:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Then I could be wrong, though I would've sworn I wasn't.  I'll watch the film agains sometime to make sure.  I just seem to remember this goofy posing they did as they raised the flag so that everybody could tell they were recreating the photograph.  Geanust's film shows a quick raising of the flag, no stopping, no posing, etc.
Here's a link to a photo taken at Camp Pendleton where they filmed the flagraising.  Why pose the guys if they're using the actual footage.

Here's another photo showing the three survivors and the three extras trying to get it right for the film:
