Letters from Iwo Jima

Haven't watched "Banner of the Fathers" yet. Although "Letter from Iwo Jima" talks about a lot of Japanese loyalty to the king, it is easy to see that this is an anti-war film made from the perspective of Americans and Western values.

In this film, the image of some Japanese fools is well portrayed. Just like a lieutenant lie on the ground holding a mine and waited for two days for the US military to come.

For any soldier, he has family and humanity. A war film made out of human nature has a political meaning. Like many, many war movies are made this way, the penetration of political ideology is above everything else.

We have to read and interpret a film through political thought, and interpret a war through this film, and then we will have real inspiration. Letter from Iwo Jima is such a good movie.

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]
