    This film is worth watching seriously for angry youths. However, besides deep thinking, what attracted me was music, which was unspeakably deep and...

    Although he and the 20,000 soldiers of the Japanese army are united, but facing the 40,000 American soldiers who occupied the air superiority, Kuribayashi knew that this would be a war with no...

    A very realistic war film is also worth reflecting on. A film that was filmed as an American director was in Japanese and reflected the defeat of...

    This is an out-and-out war film. The scenes of the war in the film are also fierce enough to be shot on the sulphur site, and ordinary war films will always make a conclusion about justice or not, but the director doesn’t care about it. He thinks war. Just like in life, there is no absolute justice and no absolute evil. For both parties involved in the war, the dead souls are worthy of...

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]
