At the beginning of the filming of the film, when director Clint Eastwood announced that he was going to put the "Battle of Iwo Jima" on the big screen, it really caused a panic among the Japanese authorities. By the end of the year, the film was about to start, and Japan not only did not stop it. Even actively participate in the promotion of the film. It turned out that Eastwood made two versions to describe the battle that had a major impact in World War II.

I watched it again and found that it didn’t seem to be as bad as the first time I looked at it. In fact, the old man did a good job. The problem lies in the story. The show does not seem to have any decent conflicts. Haggis has been playing up the contradictions. The core does not seem to be a very tangled point. However, the rendering of the gold medal screenwriter is still quite impressive.

People who have not experienced war will never know the cruelty of war, when their appearance is eroded by years, but I believe they will still dream of the blood of their brothers flying, can still hear artillery fire through eardrums, bullets in their ears , In the sky filled with gunpowder, the wounded soldiers shouted for the guards. There are no heroes in the war, only survivors. The flag of Mount Oriba does not belong to the soldiers who were injured by the war. It only belongs to the product of the operation of the media and capital. After watching it, there is unspeakable sadness hoarding in my heart, and I admire the director's skill.

James Bradley: I finally came to the conclusion that he maybe he was right. Maybe there's no such thing as heroes. Maybe there are just people like my dad. I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called heroes. Heroes are something we create, something we need. It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us, but for my dad and these men, the risks they took, the wounds they suffered, they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside him, and if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them.

Franklin Sousley: So, where do you think they're sending us?
Mike Strank: I think it's the desert, Frankllin.
Franklin Sousley: Well, that makes no sense at all.
Mike Strank: Well, it's just military psychology. They always train you for the desert on a volcano.
Franklin Sousley: Aw, now you're just havin' fun with me.
Mike Strank: Harlon, take your men right. Watch for Bedouins.
Harlon Block: Yes, sir.
Franklin Sousley: Hey, what's a Bedouin?
Harlon Block: It's a guy with a camel.
Franklin Sousley: Well, Jeez Louise, maybe we *are* going to the desert.
