Letters from Iwo Jima: When You are Strong can There be Peace
I have always disliked the World War II movies made by Japan, and I was a little bit conflicted. When I saw Japan filming the Tokyo Air Raid and Iwo Jima, I wondered in my heart why they only made movies about the US attacking Japan, not Japan's invasion of China, or Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. The movie only shoots the defense war, not the aggression war. If they film the whole history, it will be regarded as the real face of that war. But I still don't know what kind of mood I...

Maybe it's because I've watched too many war movies, maybe it's because the movie depicts the Japanese army in World War II as a "normal" person instead of a devil, which seems a little uncomfortable!
If you don't know the history of World War II, you can't tell which side is the righteous side and which side is the evil side from the movie. Even from the point of view of the US military killing prisoners of war, you will still think that the US military is...

One of the rare good films about World War II, let me think about the following points
I've been very interested in WWII-themed stuff lately. Mainly because I watched "Eichmann in Jerusalem A Report on the Banality of Evil", and then watched more WWII-themed movies one after another.
This film is really reflective, a rare good film.
1. The justice of war?
2. Who is the American soldier or the Japanese soldier who was not born to his mother, and who has no parents, wife and children? Who is pure "devil"...

Novel and unusual, the American director shot the battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of Japanese soldiers, which is not the main theme of the film that reflects the bravery of American soldiers in the past. As a former hostile country, it is very commendable to be able to affirm the excellent side of the opponent's soldiers. Dare to shoot the black spots of American soldiers (do not understand the real situation of history), kill Japanese prisoners. The role of Shimizu has grown and...

1. Dual perspective comparison. The banner with the father's generation is a set of stories from two perspectives, which is quite interesting and makes people want to compare. In contrast, the banner of the fathers does have a deeper subject matter, a wider range of social issues involved, a stronger satire, and a deeper meaning. However, Iwo Jima's family letter has not lost its sense of reality. Although it lacks many peripheral descriptions, due to the relatively fixed perspective...

The little character played by Ergou feels more real, timid and averse to war but forced to the front line, never forgetting to survive. But Kuribayashi's over-beautification is unreasonable, and although he may have a gentle side as a person, he became a historical figure because he was an aggressor, and no one can change that. Should we over-criticize the shooting and killing of prisoners by American soldiers as a reflection of American...

Compared to Dongmu's previous level, this one is too ordinary. The preparatory work ahead was too thin, so that the final letters fell without any...

Saigo: We can die here, or we can continue fighting. Which would better serve the emperor?
General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: A day will come when they will weep and pray for your souls.
General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: I will always be in front of you.
