  Letters from Iwo Jima

  by cagalnva

  I thought that it was very interesting to see war from the other side. As the movie reflects that soilders are young and scared of the same thing "death" and not being able to return to their familys and the life that they lived.

  Letters from Buffalo

  by maadler922

  Fascinating view from the other side. The build up from the beginning might seem like its dragging, but you need every second of it to get the full flavor of the entire picture. A must see. I look forward to viewing the American perspective in Flags of Our Fathers.

  Best Movie of the year

  by Chromedome58

  This movie tells a story that is both captivating and entertaining. Seeing this movie was worth every penny. The Movie is great! The way Clint Eastwood made it fantastic. If you are looking for a good movie to see, this is the one.

  Not to miss...

  by soin2s

  The humanization of the misconcievely murderous and brutal Japanese soldiers brought me to an enlightening insight. I can't help but feel awfully sorry for the egregious plight they got pushed into. This movie is something not to be missed...

  War movie with a twist

  by Maggie10023

  Fascinating perspective. You feel like you are in the midst of it all (or was that becasue I was sitting in the 2nd row?). Could have been 20-30 mins shorter.

  Letters from Iwo Jima

  by Historyfan

  This is a powerful film that accurately portrays the desperate and futile efforts of the Japanese forces in the closing stages of WWII. The film is not chock full of gore, but many scenes are suitably disturbing. Ken Watanable does a good job portraying the Japanese commander , but not quite as good as he did in the Last Samurai. I found the movie to be many times better than Flags of Our Fathers....and I wonder why the American side of the story had to be so PC...
  
  One major objection I had about this movie was the scene where the Japanese rescue and treat an American soldier who is wounded. It humanized an enemy who was quite clearly very brutal. The story hinted at Japanese atrocities, but left them out of the visual realm. Of course, the film maker made sure we were treated to American soldiers killing their prisoners in cold blood.....which must have happened....but choosing to show that when Japanese atrocities were left out seemed skewed.
