That is an interesting view point you have. I really don't think that
''the souls of a thousand marines'' would be terribly upset at the sky treatment.
especially considering the original photo was a staged event. Even the second flag raising (the shot that is the famous image) was cropped to give it more dramatic punch. Like the photographer of that day, designers, filmmakers, artists, and art directors will make aesthetic decisions to best capture the drama and mood of what they are trying to convey, I think the men who fought and sacrificed their lives on this battle field would be honored to know that their story lives on to be seen by generations to come, I doubt a change in the stormy sky is going to rain on their parade. |
