This movie is an excellent (my judgement based on other research) portrayal of the life of Ira Hayes after Iwo Jima. Hayes gets selected as a hero then tries to live down what he feels is a farce of advertising. It has been recently remade as "Flags Of Our Fathers" aptly named since it's initials are FOOF a word used to describe a chair designed to be comfortable, the new version Flags of our Fathers is a feel good piece to make people feel good about heros and bashing war all in one neat package. Given a choice between the two The Outsider is far superior to it's more contemporary remake in all areas except the special effects.
