MCT:November 21, 2008,,lt. colonel oiso: we will make a run for motoyama. there is no cover for 2 kilometers, it will be every man for himself. see you on the other side, if not on this earth, then in the next world..."
letters from iwo jima is the second movie of clint eastwood' s iwo jima saga. letters from iwo jima is better than flags of our fathers. the story is the japanese point of view of flags of our fathers. while flags of our fathers had many scenes showing the glory of americans, letters from iwo jima proves to be completely different; there is no glory for the japanese, only pain and suffering... ken watanabe shines as general kuribayashi, who is given the impossible task of holding the island of iwo jima. but the big surprise comes from kazunari ninomiya, who is at his best performance! letters from iwo jima is a wonderful entertaining journey and one of the best war movies ever seen.

Lettres d'Iwo Jima nous plonge parfaitement dans cette atmosphère horrible qu'est le combat entre Japonnais et Américains, sur une petite île du Pacifique. Un grand Clint Eastwood pour la réalisation!

MCT:October 29, 2008a touching tale of the Japanese side fo the war. I found that the war was far from Glorified and definitely gave a better perception of the US treatment of their POWs

i got this over a year and a half ago on my birthday and never got around to watching it. I am glad i did. it was a good movie and as always i loved Ken Wantanabe (he is the only reason i will watch Last Samurai). I did like seeing the battle from the other side. it is not often you get to see a war movie about the losing side

old mr. eastwood has gone and turned into quite a fine director. the japanese cast does a superb job conveying the the humanity, emotions, and motivations of soldiers fighting against americans - something rarely seen from hollywood.

Muito interessante o filme, contando a história da guerra pelos olhos dos japoneses. Demonstra bem os costumes antigos dos soldados e o sofrimento por entrar numa guerra que sabiam que não poderiam vencer. O dez vai pra esperteza de Clint ao contar as duas versões a norte-ameriacana com "A Conquista da Honra" e neste contar a japonesa. As atuações são excelentes sem estrelas norte-americanas. Clint Eastwood se supera a cada ano! E mostra, assim como em "Menina de Ouro", a luta de um homem entre fazer valer seus princípios ou permitir que o outro siga seus instintos. Estupendo!

I like that they used Japanese with the subtitles... it showed it in their way, their side, their words and language.

I am surprised..
This will probably have a strong chance now at the Oscars.posted 716 days ago -
I enjoy the fact that a film maker has gone out of his way to tell a war story that is not one all about the united states. This is the second part to a two part movie series but this one tells the story from the perspective of the japaniese. From the trailer it looks amazing and i recognize so many of the actors and respect them as actors. I can not wait until next month when this movie comes out.
