    It was the first time I saw a movie that thought about the spirit of Bushido in Japan. Life and death, dignity and allegiance are all but the question of where is home? War has never been meaningful, why do humans still enjoy it so much? Human nature is always difficult to understand, and it is always worthy of our direct attention and reflection. The Japanese cast is very...

    Pain, numbness, belief, country, everyone under the war machine, everyone replaced by the will of the country, what to use to save that letter from home with different language and similar content, what to use to redeem the warrior of different nationality and similar heart~ ~PS: I'm just a...

    The director of the film turned out to be ClintEastwood. In the process of watching the movie, I linked this film more with "Assembly". The latter tells the story of "rectifying the names" of fallen soldiers, while the film's "rectification" only uses "our glorious name". After the sacrifice, the younger generation will go to the Yasukuni Shrine to commemorate us. The more humanistic care in this film comes from the letters to the family from Iwo Jima that were ultimately not sent, and they...

Letters from Iwo Jima quotes

  • General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: [Tadamichi turns up in time to stop Ito from beheading Saigo and Shimizu] I don't want you to kill my soldiers needlessly. Put down your sword. Put it down!

    [Ito sheathes his katana and salutes]

    General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: What's going on here?

    Lieutenant Ito: These men ran from Suribachi.

    General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: Lt. Ito, I gave the order that all survivors retreat to the north caves.

    Lieutenant Ito: [embarrassed] I am very sorry, General. It's just... Suribachi... has fallen.

    [Tadamichi rushes to a cave opening and sees Mount Suribachi from a distance, with a U.S flag raised on the summit]

  • [door opens]

    Lead Woman: Congratulations! Your husband is going to war.

    Saigo: Thank you very much. I'm happy to serve the country.

    Lead Woman: [Lead Woman stares piercingly at Saigo and steps forward] Prayers for your eternal success at arms.

    Hanako: [desperately] I beg of you! We have only each other.

    Lead Woman: [Lead Woman shouts - scolding Hanako angrily] Mrs. Saigo! *This* is not the time.

    [firmly]

    Lead Woman: We have all sent our husbands and sons to war. We all have to do our part.

    [looking down at Hanako's baby bump, and then... sympathetically]

    Lead Woman: At least you'll have a little one to carry on your name.

    [Lead Woman bows with authority and walks away]
