Movie review

Recommended Posts

Last night I went out and saw Letters from Iwo Jima. Not your usual war movie, for sure. I know there are lots of WW2 movies out there, and people have different opinions of what Japan or the US did. Some of you know, my mom was in a Japanese concentration camp in China during the war.

I must applaud Clint Eastwood for making this companion movie to Flags of Our Fathers. It's all in Japanese, with subtitles, except in the very few scenes when Americans are talking. Gory, yes, but not in a gratuitous way. We don't often, in the US, see a humanizing view of Japanese soldiers. It's worth seeing.
