    The music is great. But I feel human nature is thinner. It seems that those fighters who are known to be mortal can only write letters that cannot be sent, commit suicide or be killed. It's normal for these things to happen to Japanese people, and it's normal to happen in China decades ago, but, I'm afraid, until now, no Chinese will return to die for the...

    Focusing on the psychological activities of those little people who are afraid of death in the war, and not blindly pursuing the scenes of war and the acclaim of heroes, Eastwood is already proficient and beautiful in both the scheduling of the camera and the control of the rhythm. The soundtrack has brought the movie to a higher...

    Don't talk about militarism, war is just a product of different positions and extreme ideologies. This movie is great! Kenken Watanabe's tragic and strong, the second dog is indeed the second dog I am fond...

    In the two movies about the Battle of Iwo Jima made by Eastwood, no matter from which point of view, I prefer "The Flag of the Fathers". This one is too modest, lacking irony and criticism, and even less. The cruelty that war should be, after all, Higashimoto did not understand Japanese...

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]
